!'''Umon Ranch'''
[[folder:Danbei Makiba]]
!!Danbei Makiba
!!!(Voice) Actor(s): Kousei Tomita
[[quoteright:231:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/danbei.png]]
->'''Danbei:''' I'm not wasting time. I'm the president of the Friends of the Aliens Association after all! Trying to spot an UFO is serious bussiness!
->'''Danbei:''' I'll hang you with my bare hands if you get close to my daughter! Hang you, I say! (GosakuOta Anime/UFORoboGrendizer manga)
Danbei is co-owner of the Umon Ranch, but in practice, it is more like Dr. umon owns the ranch as Danbei runs it. However, he let his hired hands -Bunta and Daisuke- make most of the work as he spends most of time searching [=UFOs=]. He is an irritating and ornery curmudgeon who constantly bullies his workers and is obsessed with finding alien extraterrestrial life. He is president of the Friends of the Aliens Association -we yet have to meet another member-, he spends unhealthy amounts of time on top of a water tower, scrutinizing the sky with a telescope, and he claims he knows alien idiom.
Not only he often does not seem quite sane, but also he may be pretty delusional. For the longest time he insisted all those [=UFOs=] flying over Japan wanted to be friends with Earth people, but that damned HumongousMecha was always chasing them away or goading them into battling. Even when they raided his ranch, he insisted it was his fault since he had thrown a party and he had not invited them.
He has two children, Hikaru and Goro. Unlike many father figures found in Creator/GoNagai mangas -who are abusive or at the best, neglectful-, he is overprotective to an annoying point. Especially with his daughter. He blatantly threatens with killing whoever comes near from her or does not take care well of her. And if he catches her whiling away with a boy –usually Duke- he assumes they are doing something unseemly (and they are guilty until proved otherwise with him), and begins shouting… and shooting.
All of it came to a head at the end of the first season, when [[spoiler:his daughter got injured and the Vegans invaded the Laboratory.]] His delusions were effectively shattered right then. He stopped being so obsessed with finding alien life, but he still was irritatingly overprotective.
He also loves dressing like a cowboy and pretending he lives in the American Far West. All in the ranch have to dress like cowboys, but they do not seem to mind, though.
!! Tropes:
* AmericansAreCowboys: He seems to ascribe to this theory.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He yearned for an encounter with aliens. The ones he met were unfriendly. And the friendly one got along well with his daughter.
* BerserkButton: Make fun of his obsession about aliens.
* ButtMonkey
* CloudCuckooLander: His antics when he was obsessively trying to find and communicate with aliens or when he believed Daisuke was getting too close to Hikaru were so weird he did not seem quite sane.
* CompositeCharacter: He is a blend of a character from ''Uchuu Enban Daisenso'' and Dambei Hayami from ''Anime/CuteyHoney'' (who in turn was an Expy from a character from ''Abashiri Ikka'').
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Danbei despite his small stature and lazy attitude is a highly skilled fighter trained in Ninjutsu and Aikido, enough to take on a group of Vegan foot soldiers. He is also a skilled horseman, but his riding skills are not as good as his daughter's.
* DubNameChange: To Benito in the Spanish dub. In Europe he was named Rigel.
* ForeignCultureFetish: For the Southern USA, obviously, given that he goes around dressing as a cowboy and pretending that he lives in the wild west, to the point where he also makes other people dress like cowboys.
* GunsAkimbo: It can be a subversion, though, since his aim is worse when he is shooting two guns than when he is only using his shotgun.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sort of. He never was evil, but he convinced himself of the Vegans were friendly and whoever piloted Grendizer was the bad guy who was preventing humans from meeting people from other planets. He made considerable exercises of mental gymnastics to keep himself deluded from the truth until he was unable to deny the facts. Remarkably, he finally woke up when his daughter was in danger.
* NationalStereotypes: Ironically, despite being Japanese, he fits a lot of redneck stereotypes, such as his obsession with aliens, his protectiveness towards his daughter, and him being a farmer and a cowboy, too, not to mention his collection of guns.
* NotHyperbole: He is not joking when he menaces with hanging with his bare hands whoever gets close to his daughter. Kouji learnt this the hard way.
* PapaWolf: Do not even think of treating his kids -especially Hikaru- badly, rudely or improperly. His shotgun is always loaded -and he will remind you of that fact if he entrusts her to you-. Hikaru does not find his overprotection amusing at all, but given how parents of giant robot pilots ''[[Anime/MazingerZ tend]]'' ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam to]]'' ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion be]]'', maybe she should be more patient.
* PluckyComicRelief: His role primary in the show.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: His overall appearance is based on Daemon Abashiri from ''Abashiri Ikka'', an old Nagai work.

->'''Goro:''' Hey! Sis, is it alright for you to be losing to an amateur?
(Creator/GoNagai Anime/UFORoboGrendizer manga)
Goro is Hikaru’s little brother, and Danbei’s younger son. He is enthusiastic, meddlesome and likes riding horses and annoying his sister, making statements nobody asked for. Hikaru finds him annoyingly nosy. However he still looks more mature than his father. He mostly was a PluckyComicRelief character, but in some dire situations he could be quite brave and helpful.
!! Tropes:

In the anime series and later versions he was another farmer worked into the Makiba ranch and was bullied by Danbei. His role was mostly PluckyComicRelief.
!! Tropes:

A while later Rubina learnt Duke was alive and the pollution poisoning planet Fleed was waning. Happily she left the world she was stuck on –and was on the verge of a revolt anyways- and travelled to Earth to meet with Duke. She hoped talking her father into leaving Earth alone and settling on planet Fleed, and convincing Duke to forgive the Vegans and marrying her to rebuild Fleed together, to re-build what they destroyed. After she and thus stopping the war.
Needless to say, it did not work. And it ended in tears.

* LatexSpaceSuit: Her combat uniform.
* MenUseViolenceWomenUseCommunication: King Vega was convincedjoy and disbelief that [[AlienInvasion invading and conquering other planets]] was the only way to find a new home he can go back to his subjects after their homeworld's demise. Duke was convinced that the only way to stop them from invading Earth was fighting them. Rubina thought that mutual annihilation was the only possible result of that war. So that she ''did'' find an alternative option and tried to talk both into a ceasefire.

!'''Umon Ranch'''
[[folder:Danbei Makiba]]
!!Danbei Makiba
!!!(Voice) Actor(s): Kousei Tomita
[[quoteright:231:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/danbei.png]]
->'''Danbei:''' I'm not wasting time. I'm the president of the Friends of the Aliens Association after all! Trying to spot an UFO is serious bussiness!
->'''Danbei:''' I'll hang you with my bare hands if you get close to my daughter! Hang you, I say! (GosakuOta Anime/UFORoboGrendizer manga)
Danbei is co-owner of the Umon Ranch, but in practice, it is more like Dr. umon owns the ranch as Danbei runs it. However, he let his hired hands -Bunta and Daisuke- make most of the work as he spends most of time searching [=UFOs=]. He is an irritating and ornery curmudgeon who constantly bullies his workers and is obsessed with finding alien extraterrestrial life. He is president of the Friends of the Aliens Association -we yet have to meet another member-, he spends unhealthy amounts of time on top of a water tower, scrutinizing the sky with a telescope, and he claims he knows alien idiom.
Not only he often does not seem quite sane, but also he may be pretty delusional. For the longest time he insisted all those [=UFOs=] flying over Japan wanted to be friends with Earth people, but that damned HumongousMecha was always chasing them away or goading them into battling. Even when they raided his ranch, he insisted it was his fault since he had thrown a party and he had not invited them.
He has two children, Hikaru and Goro. Unlike many father figures found in Creator/GoNagai mangas -who are abusive or at the best, neglectful-, he is overprotective to an annoying point. Especiallyhomeland with his daughter. He blatantly threatens with killing whoever comes near from her or does not take care well of her. And if he catches her whiling away with a boy –usually Duke- he assumes they are doing something unseemly (and they are guilty until proved otherwise with him), and begins shouting… and shooting.
All of it camefiancée to a head at compete the end of the first season, when [[spoiler:his daughter got injured and the Vegans invaded the Laboratory.]] His delusions were effectively shattered right then. He stopped being so obsessed with finding alien life, but he still was irritatingly overprotective.
He also loves dressing like a cowboy and pretending he lives in the American Far West. All in the ranch have to dress like cowboys, but they do not seem to mind, though.
!! Tropes:
* AmericansAreCowboys: He seems to ascribe to this theory.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He yearned for an encounter with aliens. The ones he met were unfriendly. And the friendly one got along well with his daughter.
* BerserkButton: Make fun of his obsession about aliens.
* ButtMonkey
* CloudCuckooLander: His antics when he was obsessively trying to find and communicate with aliens or when he believed Daisuke was getting too close to Hikaru were so weird he did not seem quite sane.
* CompositeCharacter: He is a blend of a character from ''Uchuu Enban Daisenso'' and Dambei Hayami from ''Anime/CuteyHoney'' (who in turn was an Expy from a character from ''Abashiri Ikka'').
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Danbei despite his small stature and lazy attitude is a highly skilled fighter trained in Ninjutsu and Aikido, enough to take on a group of Vegan foot soldiers. He is also a skilled horseman, but his riding skills are not as good as his daughter's.
* DubNameChange: To Benito in the Spanish dub. In Europe he was named Rigel.
* ForeignCultureFetish: For the Southern USA, obviously, givenmarriage that he goes around dressing as a cowboy longed for it and pretending that he lives in the wild west, to the point where he also makes other people dress like cowboys.
* GunsAkimbo: It can be a subversion, though, sincere-build his aim is worse when he is shooting two guns than when he is only using his shotgun.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sort of. He never was evil, but he convinced himself of the Vegans were friendly and whoever piloted Grendizer was the bad guy who was preventing humans from meeting people from other planets. He made considerable exercises of mental gymnastics to keep himself deluded from the truth until he was unable to deny the facts. Remarkably, he finally woke up when his daughter was in danger.
* NationalStereotypes: Ironically, despite being Japanese, he fits a lot of redneck stereotypes, such as his obsession with aliens, his protectiveness towards his daughter, and him being a farmer and a cowboy, too, not to mention his collection of guns.
* NotHyperbole: He is not joking when he menaces with hanging with his bare hands whoever gets close to his daughter. Kouji learnt this the hard way.
* PapaWolf: Do not even think of treating his kids -especially Hikaru- badly, rudely or improperly. His shotgun is always loaded -and he will remind you of that fact if he entrusts her to you-. Hikaru does not find his overprotection amusing at all, but given how parents of giant robot pilots ''[[Anime/MazingerZ tend]]'' ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam to]]'' ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion be]]'', maybe she should be more patient.
* PluckyComicRelief: His role primary in the show.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: His overall appearance is based on Daemon Abashiri from ''Abashiri Ikka'', an old Nagai work.

->'''Goro:''' Hey! Sis, is it alright for you to be losing to an amateur?
(Creator/GoNagai Anime/UFORoboGrendizer manga)
Goro is Hikaru’s little brother, and Danbei’s younger son. He is enthusiastic, meddlesome and likes riding horses and annoying his sister, making statements nobody asked for. Hikaru finds him annoyingly nosy. However he still looks more mature than his father. He mostly was a PluckyComicRelief character, but in some dire situations he could be quite brave and helpful.
!! Tropes:
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling
* BigEater
* DeadpanSnarker
* DubNameChange: To Poncho in the Spanish dub. In Europe he was named Mizar.
* MouthyKid: He is nosy and loud-mouthed and loves teasing or taunting his sister.
* SpannerInTheWorks: At least twice a scheme against Grendizer was foiled due to his unexpected and unplanned-for intervention.

In the anime series and later versions he was another farmer worked into the Makiba ranch and was bullied by Danbei. His role was mostly PluckyComicRelief.
!! Tropes:
* ButtMonkey
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: By the end of the first season, Banta completely stops making appearances. He doesn't get killed by the Vegans or anything, he just...vanishes.
* DubNameChange: To Venancio in the Spanish dub.
