'''The Professor''' is an [[unimaginatively named]] character from [[Puyo Wars]]. As his rather [[sarcasm|well-thought out]] name implies, he apparently is a professor of [[Puyo]] and [[Protectar]]s, though he probably spends more time [[Lemres|eating his lolipop]]. He is the (adoptive) father of [[Daichi]], offering his expertise and [[useless advice|advice]] throughout the game, and raising Daichi from birth, being the only person other than perhaps [[Angol Mois]] that is aware of his origins during the first half of the game. According to the game's opening, he recreated Puyo from ancient tablets after they were wiped from existence by the [[Planetary Gods of Gaias]]. Daichi affectionately calls him "father", though he insist Daichi should call him "Professor", suggesting that both are aware they are not biologically related to each other.

The Professor is an unimaginatively named character from Puyo Wars. As his rather well-thought out name implies, he apparently is a professor of Puyo and Protectors, though he probably spends more time eating his lollipop. He is the (adoptive) father of Daichi, offering his expertise and advice throughout the game, and raising Daichi, being the only person other than perhaps Angol Mois that is aware of his origins during the first half of the game. According to the game's opening, he recreated Puyo from ancient tablets after they were wiped from existence by the Planetary Gods of Gaias. Daichi affectionately calls him "father", though he insists Daichi should call him "Professor."

The Professor seems to protect Wild Puyo by responding to Puyo Responses, which come from wild Puyo and the Puyo-infused Biological weapons naturally. He does this with Daichi's aid, sending Daichi and his Protectors out to do protecting, while he scouts for Puyo Responses from his lab.

After an intense battle in Chapter 12, Sho, Marin and Puyorin bring an injured Daichi to the Professor, explaining what had happened. The Professor finally confesses Daichi isn't a normal human, and reveals he had found Daichi 10 years prior, inside a capsule in the ruins. He wasn't sure of what synthetic organism experiments were happening inside, but he couldn't leave Daichi alone, so he took him with and raised him as a human boy.

When on the overworld, players can visit his lab (Daichi's house?), where they can tinker with their Protectors in a variety of ways. They can also check their Protector encyclopedia to view data on any of the 650 protectors they've seen and recruited or built. Other than that though, he is a generally infrequent character.

Etymology

In the Japanese version, the Professor was simply called "Hakase", which means "doctor", "professor" and so on.
