Toshiyuki Tonomura: Taro Sawagami

Quotes 

• Taro Sawagami : Father...

  Ryotaro Sawagami : What is it?

  Taro Sawagami : Is it true we aren't your children?

  Ryotaro Sawagami : Think for yourself. Do you think you aren't? I know every one of you is mine. So, you're all dear to me. But if you don't love me, and if you don't think I'm your dad, then I am not. Right?

  Taro Sawagami : But people have always said that we aren't your kids, that our fathers are all different. And they didn't just tell me, but also Jiro, Hanako and Shiro.

  Ryotaro Sawagami : People say what they want. You can't stop them from saying all kinds of things. Right? No one can really tell whose child is whose. If you believe someone is your dad, then you are his son. If someone says you aren't my kids, then you ask him about his own father. I'll bet he can't answer. After all, it's either you believe me, or you believe the others.

  Ryotaro Sawagami : [looks at the kids]  Who do you believe?

  Taro Sawagami : You, father.

  [all the kids raise their hands and shout in agreement]
