From the time of his debut, he was often seen as a delinquent. His father was a police officer who had been in charge of guarding Empress Michiko. He recalls that as a child, he rebelled against the idea that "the child of a police officer and a school principal will become a delinquent," and that he was a very serious child. His mother had a bright and unique personality, and when his father was away at work, she would sometimes just make sweets for dinner for the children.
