The hilt of a katana poked out from his left hip, indicating the man was samurai. Only those of the old samurai families bore the blades in the open, as Akiko's grandfather did. He was graying at the sides of his dark black mane of hair, which reached to the middle of his back, which was odd given the man's age. He was a large, broad-shouldered giant of a man, much unlike his wife and granddaughter. Akiko's petite grandmother, an alumni of the Sendai School, had gone entirely white, while yet still looking relatively 'young' otherwise.<br/><br/>"<em>Ohayo Gozaimasu,</em>" he said to the receptionist. "We are here to drop off a new student, my granddaughter Takeshita Akiko. I have my driver available to move her belongings to wherever her dorm is located."
