Ooguro, Tsuneo

Tsuneo is a scientist who wins the Nobel Prize for his discovery of a new planet, which he names after his beloved daughter, Remina. As more information about Planet Remina's destructive behavior pours in, public opinion of him and his daughter shifts to considering them responsible for drawing the Planet to Earth. Like his daughter, Tsuneo is hunted down by the hysterical mob, who believe that his execution will drive the Planet away.

[Spoiler] Tsuneo dies on a makeshift cross after his internal organs are punctured with spears, and his body is charred by fallout from the nuclear weapons fired into the Planet. [/Spoiler]
