"Whether you're stubborn and will stay and guard your family, or if you'd prefer to run far away and seek shelter... That is for people to decide on their own."
— Mayor Dotour

Mayor Dotour (also known as Mr. Dotour) is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. He is the mayor of Clock Town. He is married to Madame Aroma, and they have a son named Kafei. He and his family resides in the Mayor's Residence in East Clock Town.

Mayor Dotour was supposedly a student of Anju's Grandmother during his youth. Anju's Grandmother will mistake Link for Mayor Dotour if he is wearing Kafei's Mask, telling him to come to her if he gets picked on. If Link talks to Mayor Dotour while wearing Kafei's Mask, Dotour tells Link to inquire about his missing son's whereabouts near the Laundry Pool, indicating that he may be aware of his son's actions and situation.

[edit] Biography

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

During the three days in which the game takes place, Link can enter the Mayor's Office and find that Mayor Dotour is stuck in a debate over whether Clock Town should be evacuated or not. Captain Viscen, commander of the Clock Town Knights, suggests that Mayor Dotour order a mandatory evacuation of all the inhabitants of Clock Town, as he believes that the Moon will hit the city and destroy it and much of the surrounding area. Mutoh, the boss of the Carpenters in charge of the Carnival of Time, wants the mayor to maintain tradition and continue on with the planned Carnival, being skeptical of the Moon's collision with Termina. Mayor Dotour is unsure of what decision to make.

If Link wears the Couple's Mask and approaches Mayor Dotour, he is reminded of the tradition of marriage that has been connected to the spirit of the Carnival of Time for many years. All parts remember that they are all worried for their families, and thus, they resolve their dispute; those who want to flee are free to do so, and those who wish to remain behind and celebrate the Carnival of Time are free to do so as well. As thanks for helping to solve the discussion, Mayor Dotour presents Link with a Piece of Heart.
