In Onikakushi Keiichi grew increasingly worried that his patents would be murdered and chose to protect them the only way he knew how. Ichirou is also incredibly supportive of Keiichi in Tsumihoroboshi and Minagoroshi, stating how proud he is of him. But Ichirou (Kei's dad) clearly cared a lot about his son when taking the decision to move to hinamizawa so he could grow into a better man, and he and his wife took partial responsibility for not having noticed how much Keiichi was struggling with his studies. In the anime it's not shown, unfortunately. Keiichi does not have a bad relationship with either of his parents it's maybe just a tiny bit distant and/or strained sometimes but not bad by any stretch. In the Visual Novel, he didn't want his parents to get hurt, fearing that they will be the next to disappear.I get he's not really close to his parents (particularly his dad, who he seems to dislike,) but it still shatters my Willing Suspension of Disbelief. In the first story, Onikakushi, for example, he never tells his parents about the extreme pain and terror he's going through by the end, even though he realistically should at least tell them a little, ignoring the whole 'curse' thing. However, I still find it ludicrous that K1 never tells his parents anything or tries to get them to do something, even though he logically should in a lot of cases. Okay, so I'm well-aware of the trope in most school anime & manga series where parents either never show up or do nothing relevant to the plot.Headscratchers for Higurashi: When They Cry.
