Space Gramps

Space Gramps (スペースおじさん^?, Supēsu Ojisan) also known as the One Who Stands on the Left (左に立つ人^?, Hidari ni Tatsu Hito) (The OWSotL^[1]) is a yellow, box-headed, humanoid creature who is the leader of the Space Dancers and the chairman of the Rhythm League^[2].

In rare cases, some Paddlers turn into Space Dancers^[3]. This is shown in Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic 05 彼らのダンスがすごい理由の巻 (Why Their Dance is Amazing by Maki), where a trio of Paddlers are shown trying to do the Space Dance, but always coming up short. Suddenly, what appears to be Space Gramps in Paddler attire comes in to suggest they play table tennis to get back in the groove. They find this method to work, and continue their dancing, albiet as Space Dancers.
