Personality

He is well informed, knowing that the swimming club Makoto used to go is finally being torn down. He is supportive of his son's aspirations and, along with the rest of the Tachibana family, is seen attending one of Makoto's tournaments. He also provides for tuition and expenses once Makoto moves to Tokyo in order to attend university.
