- "I swear that by recording as much as possible in this book, I will do my utmost to fulfil all my promises. Someday. Somehow."
- —Keisuke Urashima
Keisuke Urashima (b. 1917) was the father of Hina Urashima (b. 1934) and great-grandfather of Keitaro Urashima (b. 1979). While only appearing in the animated adaptation of Love Hina, he was presumably landlord of Hinata Inn for a time.
During the beginning of the Second World War, Keisuke bought a French doll from the Imperial University of Tokyo in the hopes of returning it to working condition. Naming it Moe after the production tag on its neck, he kept the doll in one of the underground rooms of the inn. He unfortunately shared his descendant's poor memory; despite using journals to help remember events, Keisuke's promise to fix Moe wouldn’t be fulfilled until nearly three decades later, when she is rediscovered by the similar-looking Keitaro.
