Father and Son - Oyakodaka

Japanese: 父子鷹 - おやこだか

A metaphor for the superior abilities of both father and son. It is often used in the titles of sports reports. It originates from the novel "Father and Son Hawk" by novelist Shimozawa Kan. The novel has Katsu Kaishu's father, Koyoshi, who was known as an unconventional scoundrel, as its protagonist, and depicts Katsu Rintaro (later known as Katsu Kaishu) in his younger days as he devotes himself to swordsmanship and Western studies, as well as the state of Edo at the end of the Edo period and the people of the city. Recently, it has come to be expressed as "parent and son hawk" rather than "father and son," and it is no longer gender-specific.

Japanese:

父と子が共に優れた能力を持っていることを表す比喩。スポーツ報道のタイトルなどで用いられていることが多い。小説家・子母澤寛(しもざわかん)の小説『父子鷹』に由来する。同小説は型破りな無頼漢として知られた勝海舟の父・小吉を主人公とし、剣術・洋学修行に励む若き日の勝麟太郎(のちの勝海舟)や、幕末の江戸の様子、市井の人々を描いている。最近では｢父子｣ではなく｢親子鷹｣とも表現され、性別を問わないようになっている。
