Mr. Sawatari/Relationship

Shingo Sawatari
Whether Mr. Sawatari cares for his son is debatable. However, it is clear that Mr. Sawatari is a somewhat neglectful parent; Shingo's friends pointed out that he hadn't noticed Shingo was faking his injury despite the obviousness of it, Mr. Sawatari did not hesitate to explicitly use Shingo as a tool to further his own political objectives. In addition, after Shingo got out of the hospital Mr. Sawatari didn't see him for a while, nor did he attend Shingo's Championship duel against Yūya.
