Tadamichi
CharacterTadamichi is the deceased father of Rin Sawaki, a Kamigoe City man who died while his daughter was small and survives in the story only through a portrait and the memories of his family.
Appearance
His portrait shows a man with dark hair swept and parted toward the right side. He wears glasses and a collared shirt, a quiet, ordinary look that fits a figure remembered only in still images.
Personality
The source gives little of his temperament directly, since he is gone before the events of the story. He exists mainly as an absence felt by those he left behind, a husband and father whose loss continues to shape his household.
History
Tadamichi died in an unspecified event while Rin was still very young. His passing was never fully accepted by his own mother, who kept believing he was still alive and would repeatedly ask his wife and Rin whether he was finally coming home. The name itself carries the meanings of righteousness or correctness paired with roadway.
