Shikaku <> He is shown as a bit of an alcoholic and having traditional views on women, though this is contrasted with his wife being in control of their relationship. Unlike his daughter, his resolve js much stronger, as even during the most depressing or dangerous of situations, he has been shown to maintain great determination and understanding, as shown from how he had repeatedly helped Shikamaru regain her sense of worth. In battle, Shikaku appeared merciless. During the Konoha Crush he had no qualms about choking the Suna shinobi to death, even when one of them was clearly cowering. It was also revealed that he was amongst the few parents who did not order his son to stay away from Naruto. He instead encouraged Shikamaru to do what he thought was best. Since Shikamaru became a chūnin, Shikaku had taken a greater interest in his son's training and started teaching him the clan's more secret techniques. He has also shown himself to be very caring.

Yoshino <> Usually described as being a very strict, and overbearing woman she can also be very warm and gentle at times when she wants to be. Due to the passive nature of the Nara men, it's not surprising that she and Shikaku got married. He appears to have accepted the fact that she's the dominant of the two of them, and also avoids doing anything to provoke her.

This has resulted in their only son Shikamaru not taking his father too seriously — especially on the matters involving women and building up relationships. He views his father as being "whipped", and he comments (silently) that his father is afraid of looking at his mother in the eyes. Despite this, Shikamaru is just as afraid of provoking her as his father is. Shikamaru refers to her as a "troublesome woman". When he asks his father what he ever saw in her, and he shockingly replied that there are certain times when she is gentle, by implying that she's not as tyrannical as her son perceives her out to be. Despite this, it's likely that she is partly to blame for Shikamaru's rather cynical view of women.
