In episode 26 of Nichijou, it's revealed that the Principal of the school...

> ...is Mr. Shinonome.

However, the relationship between him and

> his supposed granddaughter Hakase

is never elaborated on in the anime.

In the manga, is it ever stated if he at least _visits_ her?

Does the Principal ever visit his granddaughter?


Answering the question directly, there are no occurrences where the headmaster
visits Hakase in any media, but _they have met once_.

In _Nichijou no Shousetsu_ light novel, there's a chapter called " _Nichijou
no Mukashibanashi_ " (Everyday's Folklore) telling the story of
_[Momotaro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momotar%C5%8D)_ with _Nichijou_ 's
characters. Hakase acted as Momotaro, while the headmaster's role was the dog.
Here's the relevant script:

> さて、さるをお供にしたももたろうが、元気良く鬼が島に歩いて行くと、その途中で、今度は犬が現れました。  
>  「……!」  
>  「……!」  
>  しかも、戦っています。  
>  しかと、戦っています。  
>  いぬ役の校長先生が、役をほっぽり出して、しかと戦っています。校長先生、出番ですよー!  
>  [中略]  
>  「な、なんでしかと戦っているのー!?」  
>  このおじさんが校長先生だと知らないももたろうは、あわてるばかり。  
>  たしかに、街中でいぬとしかが戦っていたら、誰だってびっくりします。

Translation:

> And so, the monkey that befriended Momotaro and the vigorous demon are
> walking toward the island. On the way, this time they see a dog.  
>  "......!"  
>  "......!"  
>  Moreover, he is fighting.  
>  He is fighting with a deer.  
>  The headmaster whose role is the dog abandoned his role and is fighting
> with the deer. Headmaster, it's your turn now~!  
>  [...]  
>  "Wh-, why are you fighting with the deer!?"  
>  Momotaro, who doesn't know that this old man ( _ojisan_ ) is the
> headmaster, is only confused.  
>  Certainly, everyone will be surprised seeing a dog and deer fighting each
> other in the middle of a road.

P.S. The headmaster's name was only mentioned in the anime.
