He claims to be a severe pachinko addict, and when he found out that Haruo could take care of Akira, he gleefully went out to play pachinko, and it seems that he has an extraordinary addiction to pachinko. The reason he couldn't go with Akira when he moved overseas was because he couldn't live without pachinko. Later, after he was fired from his role as Akira's driver, he gave up pachinko and returned to his role as Akira's driver.
Grandpa is a very rough driver
Grandpa drives a black limousine as the Ohno family's driver, but his driving is quite rough and he has run over Haruo many times. Haruo has enough durability that he is not shaken by being hit by a car, so it hasn't become a big deal, but since he runs over Haruo so often, he feels a nostalgic feeling of running over him when he runs over Haruo after a long time.

Ohno knocks him away. It was a memorable first fatal accident, and at the time, my uncle just thought of Haruo as part of the scenery.

However, his consideration is overlooked by Moemi Gakida, and he is dismissed from his role as a driver and becomes a cleaner for the mansion.

As Moemi Gakida reconsiders her education policy of simply holding her down, she is able to return to her role as a driver on the condition that she gives up playing pachinko.
