'''Karsten''' (Japanese: '''カズオ''' ''Kazuo'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''. He is the husband of a [[Nurse Joy]], the father of [[Marnie and Paige]], and an electrical engineer at the [[Valley Windworks]].

Karsten drove {{ashfr}}, his wife, and Marnie in an attempt to find Paige, but the mountain road was blocked by some large boulders. After Marnie contacted her friend, the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{p|Suicune}}, the family was reunited just in time for dinner.

Karsten was shown to be deeply concerned for his children's safety and offered to walk Marnie home before a thunderstorm was due to hit. He is calm and level-headed in stressful situations, making quick work out of {{TRT}} after they attempted to steal his Ampharos and he soon repaired the wind turbines. Karsten is also quite forgetful and is known to have left his lunch at home twice in the same week.
