He comes from a life of status and wealth. Well known and respected by many, he's a Kato and everyday he has to remember it. He's the first and only son of his father, honestly, he's the older couple's only child. The attention is on him from the day he comes into this world and the day he'll leave it. He's to become the next family head and to continue with the family tradition of teaching kendo to others. To take over and be married to a woman who would suit his family's name. His entire life has already been planned out before he's even born. And Daichi Kato hates it.
For the first ten years, he does everything he is told. He excels in his studies, he trains everyday with his father, he acts as a leader. As a proper Kato. He's eleven when he begins to see it as bullshit and he's twelve when he decides that enough is enough. He begins his plan of how to change, spending the buffer time before the start of middle school to change himself.
Once an elementary schoolboy who usually kept to himself, Daichi enters the new school as a completely different person. It starts with his peers. He took charge and became the leader of a small group of them, inserting himself into the lives of the rough and tough group. He proves to them that he deserves to be the leader when they try to fight him. While he's been trained to use a wooden sword doesn't mean he's no good without it. A fighter that anyone could see ( and feel if you get into a scuffle with him ). Not only that, he climbs the social ladder like it's nothing. With looks, brains, and money, he becomes a star in the eyes of many.
It's when he's in high school that his parents are aware of his new personality. He comes home late a lot, he bought himself a motorcycle, and even joined a motorcycle gang. By then it's too late to try and straighten their son out, his personality has been set and settled. There's arguments that constantly occur between him and his father, the two unable to just sit in one room and just hold a normal conversation. There's no such thing as one between the Kato's head and his only son.
By the time he graduates from high school, his parents push him to enter university. There's some defiance to this as he doesn't want to, what's the point when he's going to take over the dojo in the future? But nonetheless, he attends university with an interest in business but that only lasts for about two years before he drops out and gets work as a bartender. There's shame to this, having a Kato work as a server for the common people and it creates an even bigger rift between him and his father. But Daichi doesn't care, he's living his life the way that he wants to, not because his parents tell him to do so.
The years continue on and he's still defiant even as he nears thirty. But the attitude comes from the fact that he knows that soon enough, he's going to become the head of the family. His parents are no longer young, they're old now and no one knows when Daichi's father will pass on, thus giving his only son the position. He deals with prospective wives, women from well off families that his parents want him to marry. He pushes them all off. He's not ready, he wants to keep living his life the way he wants to.
Then comes the proposition from his father. He'll give his only son a year to live his life however he wants. But when he turns thirty, that's when Daichi has to take over the family and months after that, find a suitable wife. He hates it but makes the deal anyway. It's what he's here in America, to enjoy a year of freedom, a year of doing whatever he wants before he's completely shackled down to his family's name.
