Rei's Grandfather, is rather obviously Rei Hino's grandfather. He appears in both the anime and the manga but does not appear in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. He is sometimes called Grandpa Hino by fans even though it is never explicitly stated if he is Rei's paternal or maternal grandfather.

He is a Shinto priest as well as notorious lecher, even to the point of have an article warning girls about him printed in a magazine, much to Rei's disgust. Dispite his lecherous ways he is very protective of Rei and worries about her a lot, he does not like the idea of Rei and Yuuichirou being together as he doesn't think Yuuchirou is worthy of his granddaughter. He was one of the reincarnated Seven Great Youma and was transformed into Jiji when Zoisite removed Indigo Rainbow Crystal from his body.

He plays a much bigger role in the anime than in the manga where he appears only three times and looks drastically different (but still seems to be lecherous) and he plays no role in PGSM because his character was dropped.
