McKenzie's father is a street performer who appeared in the episode "Doin' What Comes Naturally." He's best known for his work at the Pokémon Street Performer Festival, where he uses his Natu to tell people's fortunes. The character never received an official name in either the original Japanese version or the English dub.
When his son McKenzie expressed interest in following in his footsteps as a performer, his father was supportive—he believed that as long as the audience was happy, it was worth doing. He also approved of Ash and the others encouraging McKenzie to perform with his face masked, which added an interesting twist to the act. His general philosophy is that experience is what helps both people and Pokémon develop and grow.
