Naoyuki Okazaki

As Tomoya’s devoted yet fractured father, this man struggled to raise his son alone following the tragic death of his wife, Atsuko. Driven to alcoholism and frequent conflict by grief, his violent temper once caused a physical altercation that permanently dislocated Tomoya’s shoulder. This accidental injury ended his son's basketball dreams and turned their relationship into a cold, distant coexistence. Now, he lives alongside a son who avoids home and dreams of running away.
