There are a couple of reasons why I wanted to wanted to do a seperate post about George Miyagusuku (宮城ジョージ). It is not that he is one of the major characters. He is a supporting character that meets a tragic demise early in the television series. He remains alive and well in the manga. But one detail about him and Saya's relationship I have to wonder about. Every Oban, when his female family members cleaned and dusted the tomb, how did he explain the girl in the cocoon?
I knew a couple of guys that were kind of like George. The difference that they were retired military expatriots living there with wife and the kids. But, back to George. The story does not say, at least not that I picked up, if George is bi racial (aka amerasian) or if he is an expat himself. Either case, it is most likely that either he or his dad were Americans who took the wife's family name at marriage. This is kind of rare, but does happen. If the artist's sketches are any indication, my guess that George is the former.
