The Proprietor is a portly adult man with pale skin, brown hair that reaches his shoulders, a slight beard on the chin and a green tattoo on both of his forearm. He wears a dark green shirt and a gray apron.
Personality[]
He is a kind gentleman with his clients, but is annoyed by those who touch his products without permission and those who are not satisfied with what he offers them. He is willing to help any of his customers if they're in trouble, as seen in "Yesterday". He has shown a strange taste for the decoration of his shop.
He is shown to be only active staff in Last Wednesday Society, a shop with magical items, as his boss is nowhere to be seen when Akko and Lotte visit it to retrieve the latter's newly restored magic broom. The Proprietor discourages Akko from touching Shooting Star he had on nearby display, let alone allowing her to have it just for the upcoming broom relay due to being extremely dangerous. He then expresses his confidence that Diana will be the winner of the broom relay race.
Akko, Lotte and Sucy go to their shop asking about the abandoned house that Mr. Holbrook claims belonged to the man he most hated. He explains that he stayed with the properties of that house after the Golden Age of Magic ended and also explains that it was the Golden Age.
Akko, Lotte and Sucy go to their store looking for dresses for the Handbridge party, he offers them several inappropriate dresses that they reject. Finally he sells them the Cinderella Magic Set and offers them a discount on the Snow White Magic Set.
He sees it briefly when Akko goes to the cafe while looking for the pieces Constanze ordered. He is also seen selling his products during the Wild Hunt.
He serves Diana and Akko in the cafe after the former finds the latter in the snow, offering them somewhere to sit, along with tea. When Lotte, Sucy, Amanda, Constanze and Jasminka arrive, he offers them drinks as well, stating that they must be cold, being out in a snowy day.
The proprietor is relieved that Akko, Lotte, and Sucy managed to recapture Shooting Star while still disgruntled by its theft. Akko insists that she's not accountable for such incident before proposes that the legendary broom should be returned to its original owner. He later watches Lotte calling forth faeries from old objects in his store for clues pertaining Shooting Star, pleasantly surprised to see them inhabiting old objects in question as they allow themselves to be seen.
When it appears Akko's search for Shooting Star's owner ended in vain after Sucy revealed the latter's passing from a newspaper article she found in Luna Nova Library, Shooting Star unexpectedly snaps, breaking free from its restraints, and knocking the proprietor into submission before taking the three friends with it to the sky. To the proprietor's dismay, Shooting Star have left for good and now on the journey for a new owner as Lotte explained. Putting his mixed feelings about it aside, he implores the three friends to clean up the mess the legendary broom left behind.
Although sometimes dismissive at Akko's bold claims, it doesn't stop him from helping her.
In "Yesterday", he provides her and her friends free drinks as soon as they are reunited after a rough night.
Abilities and Equipment[]
Despite only works part-time at Last Wednesday Society, the Proprietor displayed considerable knowledge of magical substances, equipment, and a license to use magic items, which implies some ability with magic yet not necessarily a wizard himself. This includes potion usage, as shown when she used one to project images of the Golden Age of Magic in "Blytonbury's Undead Travelogue".
His design is based on Chumlee from Pawn Stars, something which amused Chumlee's actor Austin Russel as stated in his Twitter account.[4][5]
Their resemblance was intentional because the producer intended the character to be a homage to Chum Lee and honor his Japanese dub actor Akihiro Matsushima.[6][7][8]
