Konoemon Konoe (近衛 近右衛門)
Occupation: Headmaster (Principal)
Konoka's grand-father, which likely played a role in his decision for Negi to live with her and Asuna. What has been indicated is that he's a kind-hearted man, but extremely strict and is the chief of the Kantou Magic Association. The Dean's hobby is arranging marriage interviews for Konoka to choose a future fiance. One arranged marriage thanks to him is his daughter's marriage to the chief of Kansai Magic Association (Eishun Konoe) which has resulted in Konoka's birth and easing tension between the Kansai and Kantou Magic Association. Unfortunately, there were still a few mages in Kansai who dislike Kantou even after the marriage, so the dean sent Negi on secret task to give the chief of Kansai a letter containing a peace offering when the school was on fieldtrip to Kyoto. (Actually the letter was a complaint by the dean, telling his son-in-law to try to control his henchmen who dislike Kantou Mages). When the Kansai Magic Association Headquarters was attacked, his granddaughter kidnapped by Chigusa Amagasaki and her henchmen, the dean helped Negi and the others by sending Eva and Chachamaru. He helped Eva leave the academy by distracting the powers that prevented Eva from leaving by stamping a document on where she was going, however this only last for 5 seconds, which resulted the dean stamping a new document every 5 seconds! As a result, he ended with bad back ache and a sore hand but he was glad he was able to help Negi save his granddaughter.
