Matsu se prend d'affection pour cette famille. Quand le père de Toshio meurt, Matsu devient comme un père de remplacement pour le garçon, qu'il contribue à élever. Il tombe secrètement amoureux de Yoshioko, mais est conscient qu'il y a un fossé de classe entre eux. Matsu pense qu'il ne sera jamais qu'un conducteur de pousse-pousse pour elle et son fils.
