[[Bianca]]'s father is first seen in their family home at the beginning of {{2v2|Black|White}}. There, he forbids his daughter from going on a journey because it would be too dangerous.

Bianca mentioned her father in Minccino—Neat and Tidy!, claiming that he did not allow her to start her journey at the age of ten, which was why she was just a beginning Trainer at a later age.

He debuted in the flesh in Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader! where he was waiting for Bianca inside the Nimbasa Gym. Like in the games, he wanted Bianca to return home with him but he did compromise to let his daughter battle Elesa first. If she were to lose, she would have to come home. The battle had resulted in a loss and he was set on having her come home with him.

Although she managed to get away, Bianca's father continued to chase after his daughter. Her constant attempts to avoid her father left Bianca unable to become stronger, which dealt a blow to her confidence as a Trainer. With the help of White, Bianca eventually decides to become Professor Juniper's assistant instead of a Trainer.

In the Black 2 & White 2 arc, Bianca's father is seen traveling to Aspertia City to take his daughter back home after she had gone there to deliver two Pokédexes for Professor Juniper.
