It was his involvement with the murder case that prompted his first son Shuichi to join the FBI in order to investigate what happened to him, and his assumed death led Shuichi to seek vengeance against those responsible.

Before he went missing, Tsutomu sent his wife a message telling her that he had made enemies with "horrible people", asking her to take their children, Shuichi and Shukichi, to Japan, and to think of him as someone who no longer existed. Sometime after his daughter Masumi was born, so both she and her father never got to know each other.
