Yôichi's father, Genkichi
- Yôichi's father, Genkichi: When I think back, our life hasn't been that great. It was full of struggles. Nothing good happened.
- Yôichi's mother, Oshin: We never did anything wrong. We just lived an honest life.
- Yôichi's father, Genkichi: It was all because of that stupid war. If it weren't for the war, we wouldn't have had to move to this alley.
- Yôichi's mother, Oshin: That was tough for us. They only gave us five days to evacuate. We were doing fine on the main street until then.
- Yôichi's father, Genkichi: Our government is a mess. They ruined our life. And they still demand taxes from us poor people.
- Yôichi's mother, Oshin: I feel sorry for Yoichi. I know what his life is going to be like. He'll never be a rich man.
- Yôichi's father, Genkichi: When the parents are poor, we pass it on to our kids.
