Pre-Maiami Championship
Mr. Sawatari was first mentioned by Shingo when he first met Yūya Sakaki. Mr. Sawatari himself first appeared with a loudspeaker, in Shingo's hospital room, vowing to punish Yūya for injuring his son. He was present when Himika Akaba visited his son's medical room. Himika reassured him that the Leo Corporation would handle the situation rather than the police, in order to deflect attention from Mr. Sawatari's family while he was in the process of re-election. Mr. Sawatari agreed to the proposal. After two more attacks on LDS Professor Marco and Tio, Mr. Sawatari stormed into Reiji Akaba's office despite Nakajima's attempts to stop him. He still believed Yūya Sakaki to be responsible, but Reiji continuously insisted that Yūya was innocent and intimidated Mr. Sawatari into standing down for the time being. Frustrated by the situation, Mr. Sawatari took out his anger on some LDS top team members, before noticing Yūya Sakaki passing by. He ordered the top team members to chase Yūya, accusing him of attacking Shingo. Yūya fled, protesting that he was innocent, but the chase was cut short when Yūya ran into a mysterious Duelist who challenged the top team to a Duel. Blind to the fact that the Duelist was the culprit behind the serial attacks, Mr. Sawatari tried to order the top team to chase Yūya, but the Duelist Xyz Summoned a monster that blew Mr. Sawatari away in a gust of wind. Mr. Sawatari came to and saw the cards containing the defeated top team members and the combination of events caused him to flee the scene shrieking in terror. Shingo later stated that Mr. Sawatari had been injured in the event, but he has not been seen since.
