U r the best
Low key, I originally thought he may have been her dad or uncle. Thanks for posting this I can’t wait for them to meet again. Also can you maybe post where you read it. It sounds like fun!
I read the webnovel raws here: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n8406bm/.
They are slightly different from the manga since the manga is based off of the Light Novel edition. I had to run it through google translate 4 times just to understand what was going on.
I had to reread the raws like 4 times to get it & even wiki some stuff. >.>

He's this dude: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashikaga_Yoshiteru
TLDR: He was the last actual great shogun of the Muromachi period & was one of the supporters for the Christian missionaries in Japan. His reign was so great that even Oda went to pay respects to him. However, the daimyos didn't like that Ashikaga wasn't just a puppet leader so they backstabbed him Caesar-style & thus he died. They replaced him with one of his brothers, but he also died of illness & then Oda kicked them out & replaced them with Ashikaga's other brother, Yoshiaki (the current idiot shogun) as his puppet. His death led to the missionaries going into hiding before going to seek Oda for protection.
Basically, after the assassination attempt, he got time-warped to modern day Japan - where he was found by Shizoku & her family. They got him to a hospital where he had to undergo multiple surgeries & months of physical therapy. He was obviously freaked out by all the modern tech around him & when asked for his name, he replied that it was "Azuma". Since he had no ID on him (they even did DNA tests on him to see if he was native or a foreigner so they could check the missing persons database), Shizuko's parents became his guarantors & brought him to their home.
He basically became Shizuko's pseudo-uncle & soon adapted to modern life (he wanted to repay them but he had no job experience & his farming knowledge was super outdated - so he learned how to cook for the family & watch over their 2 daughters). He got really into guns, modern psychology & Japanese beer (his favorite aesthetic from movies is the badass sunglass-wearing gun-toting leather jacket-wearing dude on a motorcycle). Also an embarrassing story about him - when he first encountered a TV, he attacked it out of fear & broke it, causing Shizuko's older sister to scold him heavily because now she couldn't watch his program.
Azuma lived with Shizuko's fam for about 10 years(?) before one day, when he went to pick up Shizuko, a bus (with the middle aged man who went to visit Shizuko's grandpa), suddenly careened towards her. He rushed to push her out of the way only to find himself back in the Sengoku period.
