For example, an athlete (選手, senshu) named Ichiro might be referred to as "Ichiro-senshu" rather than "Ichiro-san", and a master carpenter (棟梁, tōryō) named Suzuki might be referred to as "Suzuki-tōryō" rather than "Suzuki-san". In a business setting, it is common to refer to people using their rank, especially for positions of authority, such as department chief (部長, buchō) or company president (社長, shachō). Within one's own company or when speaking of another company, title + san is used, so a president is Shachō-san. When speaking of one's own company to a customer or another company, the title is used by itself or attached to a name, so a department chief named Suzuki is referred to as Buchō or Suzuki-buchō. However, when referring to oneself, the title is used indirectly, as using it directly is perceived as arrogant. Thus, a department chief named Suzuki will introduce themselves as 部長の鈴木 buchō no Suzuki ("Suzuki, the department chief"), rather than ×鈴木部長 *Suzuki-buchō ("Department Chief Suzuki"). For criminals and the accused[edit] Convicted and suspected criminals were once referred to
without any title. Still, now an
effort is made to distinguish between suspects (容疑者, yōgisha), defendants (被告, hikoku), and convicts (受刑者, jukeisha), so as not to presume guilt before anything has been proven. These titles can be used by themselves or attached to names. However, although "suspect" and "defendant" began as neutral descriptions, they have become derogatory over time. When actor and musician Gorō Inagaki was arrested for a traffic accident in 2001, some
media referred to him with the newly made title menbā (メンバー), originating from the English word "member", to avoid the use of yōgisha (容疑者, suspect).
" Because he was obliterating their oppressors, "the weak" started to see him as something sent from God. Even Musashi Miyamoto has stated that "there is a kindness" to Yuujirou. Yuujirou unabashedly interferes in Baki's affairs by creating destructive
challenges for him to overcome and develop from. It should be noted that despite his oppressive and generally hands-off parenting style with Baki, he
wants him to become stronger. His motives for this are a mixture of Yuujirou's parental projection of Baki following in his image as a legendary fighter and the potential of creating a stronger opponent for himself for his own entertainment. He encourages Baki to have sex with Kozue Matsumoto, which eventually triggers his transition into manhood which then triggers a drastic change in Baki's fighting maturity, which is seen during his fight with Ryuukou Yanagi. It is common knowledge that Yuujirou is the father of Baki and Jack Hanma, but he states in a conversation with Mohammad Alai who invited him into his home to meet his son that Yuujirou has fathered many children throughout the world who remain unknown to the plot. No one knows for sure how many half-siblings Baki has in addition to Jack as there exists no record of the extent of Yuujirou's bloodline. Knowing this, and knowing Yuujirou's other personality traits such as arrogance, cruelty, and selfishness, as well as very little care for his children aside from Baki and Jack, it can be said that Yuujirou has the mind of a psychopath. Beyond his philosophy and time spent training or fighting, Yuujirou is fully capable of living in modern society. While not stated, it's shown that Yuujirou has access to considerable resources, most likely in the form of connections or favors from some of the most influential people in the world.
