"I'll wait for you to turn to me, whether it takes 10 or 20 years. Then if the whole world becomes your foe, I will be your only ally."
Domyoji (道明寺,Dōmyōji) was the husband of Tsubaki Domyoji and the heir to a hotel empire. He lived with his wife in Beverly Hills where he presumably worked, though he also went abroad for business trips. Their marriage was originally arranged by their parents for financial benefits, but they ended up loving each other nonetheless.
He was from a rich family who owned a large hotel empire.[1]Kaede Domyoji wanted to expand her own hotel business and arranged a marriage between him and her daughter Tsubaki. When she refused to "open [her] heart" to him, he told her that he would wait for her whether it took ten or twenty years. Tsubaki grew to love him and the couple was very happy together.[2] They lived in Los Angeles, California, though he often had to travel for business.[3]
Physical appearance[]
Domyoji had an overall pleasant appearance though somewhat unassuming. In his one appearance, he was wearing a typical suit and tie.
Personality and traits[]
Tsubaki described her husband as "gentle and kind,"[2] as well as being an "easygoing person who would never hurt [her]."[5] When their marriage was first arranged, Tsubaki was completely against it though it proceeded anyway. Her future husband promised to wait for her to love him back. His words, particularly him saying he would "be [her] only ally," eventually resulted in opening herself up to him.
Etymology[]
In Japan, couples are legally required to have the same surname.[6] As such, Tsubaki's husband took her name after marriage. Domyoji (道明寺; どうみょうじ) contains three kanji. The first means "street," "journey," "course," "teachings," etc.[7] The second means "bright" and "light"[8] and the third "temple".[9]
He is mentioned in the 1996 anime and can be briefly seen in a flashback in the twenty-fourth episode. Like the manga, he is said to be a hotel magnate's heir.
