However, this situation changes slightly when a technological marvel is built for him, a state-of-the-art robot nicknamed Hinokio!

Satoru's dad Kaoru (Masatoshi Nakamura) tries his best to reach out to his son, but Satoru still blames him for his mother's death. Thus, communication between the two is sparse at best.
