Simon (シモン) is a character that appears in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade.

Simon is a photographer with his own shop in Harmonica Town. Simon is one of the well known residents, as he will be attending every major event and festival with camera in hand. He is available at every festival in, and will always charge 100g to take a photo of you. He also takes your wedding photos! Simon is a kind soul, and has a deep love for the work that he does.

Simon's Photography Studios is open from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Saturday. The first time you visit the store, he will give you a free camera. He will not leave his store during business hours, so is easy to find when he's manning the shop. On Sundays, he can be seen in the Garmon Mine District, outside of the General Store where he lives. He is the father of Phoebe and his wife Barbara runs the General Store.

Because of his role in events and festivals, Simon doesn't play much role into the game's main storyline. He is, however, one of the more "main" villagers of the game.
