Late to the party: Persona 4

Hiimdaisy's hysterical jokes aside, I thought Dojima was a kickass dad, albeit one dealing with serious issues related to the premature death of his wife. Dojima just doesn't have a personality type conducive to raising children. But he tries, often despite his natural ineptitude (and despite the fact that an unknown serial killer is making his job miserable.) And I had a deep appreciation for his efforts.

He felt like one of the most real, flesh-and-blood characters to me. Hiimdaisy's having fun playing up Dojima's bouts with ineptitude, but honestly, I think her Dojima is the least effectual of her portrayals, in large part because the other characters are fairly honest portrayals that harp on the character's actual flaws, whereas Dojima's is more like a (hysterical, yes, but still) total negative distortion.
(By contrast, her portrayal of Yosuke is amazing in large part because it's simultaneously exaggerated and yet completely faithful to the character's actual in-game personality.)
