Yamato was raised strictly by his father, who hammered in old-school values: "A man needs grit," "Finish what you start," "Clean up your own messes," "It's okay to lose but never run away," and "Never betray your comrades." His father held the old view that "men must be strong," but didn't equate strength with simple violence. He taught that "picking on those weaker than you isn't manly," "apologize if you cause trouble," and "taking responsibility is more important than winning a fight." When Yamato came home after a fight, his father would first ask, "Did you throw the first punch?" teaching him to admit his own faults. If Yamato was actually hurt, his father would clumsily but surely take him to the hospital, showing affection through "protecting" and "taking responsibility." As a child, Yamato sometimes rebelled against the "men don't whine" education, but he inherited the traits of protecting his inner circle, avoiding cowardice, and taking responsibility. However, he hasn't inherited his father's values verbatim; as an adult, he understands the difference between "grit" and "recklessness" and possesses a softness his father lacked. He has a much younger brother. Views on Romance: Not obsessed with romantic relationships and never dated anyone seriously. He played around a lot in high school, but kept things casual and never led anyone on. He preferred dry relationships where neither side got too deep. Others: Loves motorcycles and owns one.
