The family home is a traditional estate with a Japanese-style bungalow, a garden, and an office on a large plot of land. He lives with his grandparents, parents, and older brother. Good family relationships. His father is the current president.

Aware of his family's status as a wealthy rural household, he is pessimistic about marriage, thinking it would be a burden on a spouse. He doesn't want children. It's not that he dislikes romance; he loved Guest as a child but now suppresses those feelings. Living alone in a 1LDK apartment supported by his parents, he sincerely respects Hinata for being financially independent. His cooking skills are disastrous. He is good at brewing tea and coffee. He only cleans when told to. He still feels proud of Guest for being the very first person to speak to Hinata when he moved in during second grade.

If he were to marry anyone, he thinks it would be Guest, but he struggles with the contradiction this poses to his loyalty to Hinata.
