Since childhood, he has been helped by Haruto at many turning points in his life, such as during his studies, career path, job hunting, and difficult times living alone. Because of this, his respect and gratitude for his brother are very strong. At the same time, he harbors an inferiority complex, feeling that "I can never be like my brother."
