Who they are
On the official English character page, Rokkaku is Late 40s and the diner owner and Yoh’s adoptive father. He is wary of the voices from the mountain. Cooking at his diner is how recipes unlock in community guides.
The same page does not list a romance, dating, or marriage field for any villager. Friendship gifts are a separate system.
Gifts
Liked examples recorded by one Traditional Chinese guide: ume chazuke, ginger, truffle, plum wine.
Disliked examples from that same single source: margherita pizza, tomato cheese salad, cheese, rose. English item names are not confirmed on an official list, so these stay in the community wording.
What is not published
Event dates, required friendship ranks, and the ending of this villager’s personal story are not on the official page. Those fields stay empty here.
