Art style: Ghibli / Anime-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — a warm, gentle father in his early forties, Japanese, of average height and softly sturdy build. Oval face with kind crinkling eyes, a relaxed easy smile, light laugh-lines, and short tidy black hair with a few early grey strands at the temples; slight stubble along his jaw. He wears a soft cream linen shirt with sleeves rolled to the forearms, a comfortable warm-grey cardigan, loose olive trousers, and plain brown house slippers on his feet. His arms are open and lowered, reaching forward as if ready to catch and lift a running child, body leaning slightly with anticipation. He stands in a sunlit wooden-floored kitchen doorway, soft golden afternoon light spilling around him, framed by warm domestic shapes. No facial hair aura, no glow, no text.
