Personality
Jin held deep affection for his son Yuji, having longed to raise a child together with his partner, Kaori.
History
On March 20, 2003, at a hospital in Sendai City, Jin cradled his newborn Yuji and warned his father Wasuke that he would walk out of the room if the older man kept disparaging his partner. Wasuke countered that Jin was free to live as he wished but would meet his death unless he gave her up. Jin pushed back, telling Wasuke not to speak that way in front of the baby, since infants remember more than people assume. Wasuke then noted Jin's wish to raise a child alongside Kaori, but before he could finish a remark touching on her death, "Kaori", marked by stitches across her forehead and in truth Kenjaku, cut in, addressed Wasuke as her father-in-law, and asked him what the conversation concerned.
