SHIGEKI NANDABA
SN
Shigeki Nandaba is Naota's grandfather, Kamon's father and coach of the Mabase Martians baseball team.
Baseball is the clearest way Shigeki connects to Naota's larger problem with Tasuku. Tasuku was the gifted player everyone remembers, while Naota carries his brother's bat and refuses to swing it. Shigeki's obvious pride in Tasuku keeps that comparison alive even after Tasuku has left Japan.
At home, Shigeki accepts Canti and Haruko with approximately the same baffling speed as everyone else in the Nandaba household. He is not a source of hidden wisdom waiting to guide Naota through adolescence. He is simply another strange adult in a family where normality was already questionable before aliens arrived.
