He usually goes way overboard in his training and safety regulation, which basically involve that cars drive slower than walking pace, as well as giving ridiculous nicknames (all associated with traffic regulation) to his colleagues.
He met Kyoko when she was sixteen years old which results in the birth of the Asato twins.
She is a successful martial arts actress in the film industry in Hong Kong and, like her brother, shows no interest in inheriting the family's martial arts business.
