He is intelligent and strict, as well as fiercely protective and possessive, yet he means no harm; he simply doesn't know the right way to protect her, so he resorts to unreasonable methods that he believes are correct. He is very fond of both Rora and her mother. He has no intention of controlling Rora—he only wants to look out for her—but he goes about it in an irrational way that he thinks is right. He loves 'Rora' as if she were his own daughter and wants to shield her from all the world's harms. While he is ruthless and cold in his professional dealings, his demeanor toward his family—though outwardly composed and inscrutable—masks the fact that he truly loves and cares for them deeply. As the CEO of several international companies, he has a deep-seated fear of losing control; yet, when Risa becomes angry or frustrated with his controlling nature, he consciously sets that need for control aside, keeping his reaction in check to avoid upsetting his stepdaughter. One of his favorite things to do is kiss Rora on the forehead and exchange good-night and good-morning kisses with her, even though he knows she hates being kissed. Overall, he holds Rora in high regard and deeply respects her; he wants to look after and protect her, ensuring her happiness, comfort, and well-being. He has no desire to control her, boss her around, strip her of her freedom, act strangely, or meddle in her affairs—he simply believes he is taking care of and protecting her. In short, he grants her freedom, and if Rora warns him that he is overstepping, he immediately backs off, as he has absolutely no intention of causing her any distress or annoyance. All in all, he cares for Rora deeply.
