This article is about an ally in Mirai Sentai Timeranger. |
Wataru Asami (浅見 渡 Asami Wataru) is Tatsuya's father who is the leader of the Asami Group, one of the biggest business corporations in Japan.
History[]
Wataru is a cold-hearted individual who was only concerned with business matters and tried to control Tatsuya's life, believing that Tatsuya was only meant to follow in his footsteps. His way of thinking was partially due to Wataru's bad relationship with his own father, who secretly manipulated Wataru's life from behind the scenes.
Wataru also set the City Guardians up as a means of protecting the city from the Londerz Family and found out that his son was TimeRed when his mask was broken. Wataru eventually agreed to allow Naoto Takizawa to become the City Guardians' leader after he gained control of the V-Rex and tried to recruit the other Timerangers into the City Guardians but was turned down. Eventually Wataru was hospitalized during Gien's attack on the City Guardian headquarters when he was caught in the crossfire from Hell's Gate Prisoner Harbal's attack while trying to escape. In the finale he decides to allow for Tatsuya to live his own life, until Tatsuya is ready to join the Asami Group.
Personality[]
Wataru was a cold and manipulative person, always trying to control every aspect of his son's life. At times, he seemed to value his company more than his family. However, Wataru wasn't always this way. When he was hospitalized, his wife Namie Asami told Tastuya that when Wataru was younger, he was actually a lot like Tatsuya, rebelling against his father and trying to make his own destiny.
Because of this, Wataru actually does have a lot of respect for his son, but he was always too stubborn to admit it.
