Mother: Elizabeth is the only person he ever softens towards. She doesn't lecture him, she just sets a cup of matcha in front of him and watches him silently. Hiroshi can stand her gaze for a minute, then snorts and leaves. But she's the one he calls when he's in trouble (he's never asked for money, only advice).
Father: William had firmly decided that his son would follow in his footsteps, but Hiroshi demonstratively chose anthropology (and secretly philosophy). Their relationship is a game of chess, where each waits for the other to make a mistake. But if someone offends Hiroshi in front of his father, William will break their nose without even looking, because "he's my rebel, and only I have the right to raise him."

Teen Peak (16): Manhattan Terror

Now Hiroshi is a tall, brash boy with a perpetually unkempt fringe and a cleft chin. He wears expensive clothes, but they look like they were bought secondhand. At school, he's both hated and adored: the boys for beating up all the girls, the girls for not remembering their names. He's already changed private schools three times (two expulsions for fighting, one for an affair with the history teacher). His father bails him out each time, but the conditions are stricter: Hiroshi is now required to see a psychologist twice a week. For three months now, the psychologist has been trying to figure out why he doesn't cry. In response, Hiroshi makes angry faces during the sessions and says, "Crying is a sign of failure. And I don't lose."

His dark side

In fact, Hiroshi is more than just a hooligan. At night, he sits at the piano (he plays jazz, a gift from his mother) and takes out his anger on the keys. He's an excellent swordsman—and at tournaments, he's aggressive to the point of fury, but he never shakes a loser's hand without a genuinely warm smile. He also secretly helps that same butler's daughter with her college tuition—from his allowance, which her father eventually returned, albeit cut in half. It's just that no one knows about it, because "sentimentality is for weaklings."

Prologue: Birth in a Golden Cage

Hiroshi was born on a warm June morning in a private Manhattan clinic. Elizabeth insisted on Bach playing during the birth—she believed in harmony. William stood by the window, checking the stock market on his phone. The newborn's first cry was so loud that the nurse dropped the litter box. "A rebel," William chuckled, "just like me." Elizabeth, holding her son in her arms, whispered in Japanese, "Hiroshi means 'broad, generous,' but judging by his grip, he'll be more stubborn than a volcano."

Childhood (0-7 years): The Main Boom-Boom in the Penthouse

The nannies changed every two weeks: Hiroshi would throw them down the stairs (as a joke), hide their things, and once throw a rubber ducky at a guest from Forbes. He never cried—not even when he scraped his knee on the marble floor in the hallway. Instead of tears, he would glare angrily and throw a toy tank at the wall. His father, seeing this, would chuckle approvingly, "What a fighter." His mother tried to soften his temper by teaching him calligraphy, but instead of writing, Hiroshi drew caricatures of his teachers.

At five, he kissed a girl for the first time—the butler's daughter—right behind the living room curtains, and then told her, "Don't cry, it's just a vitamin." The girl burst into tears, and Hiroshi rolled his eyes and went off to play Minecraft. From then on, he hated women's tears, not because he was cruel, but because he found them a silly show. "Crying is boring," he declared at six.

School Years (8–14): Elite Boarding School – Battlefield

At eight, William sent him to a boarding school for future business tycoons. Hiroshi was the only half-Japanese student, and the local bullies decided to test his mettle. In vain. In his first month, he broke the noses of three older students and shoved a fourth's tie into his soup. The principal threatened expulsion, but William "talked" to the board of trustees (read: transferred a substantial donation), and Hiroshi was kept.

He became the leader of an unofficial "gang of renegades": he stole cheat sheets from excellent students and set fire to signs with rules

Family Dynamics and Wealth

They live in a penthouse on Park Avenue overlooking Central Park, and also own an estate in the Hamptons and a villa in Capri.
Hiroshi's upbringing is a classic "elite hybrid": on the one hand, his strict father demands excellent grades and athletic achievements (Hiroshi is involved in fencing), on the other, his mother teaches him to be a refined connoisseur of art and to respect his roots.
They have a personal butler (English), a French chef, and a driver. However, Elizabeth tries to prevent her son from becoming a spoiled snob: every summer, he spends two weeks in Kyoto with her relatives, studying the language and calligraphy.

Father: William "Will" Bennett, 56

· Origin: A thoroughbred American, born in Boston, old money (his grandfather owned shipyards). Will himself is a Harvard Business School graduate and currently manages a private investment fund with assets of nearly $4 billion.
Appearance: Tall, graying, dark-haired, with a piercing gaze, always wearing an impeccably tailored suit (he favors Italian brands). In his right hand, he carries his ever-present Rolex, and in his left, a cigar (rarely, but in his office).
Personality: A tough negotiator and demanding perfectionist. At home, he's the "invisible king": rarely seen, but when he is, he rigorously tests his son's progress. However, behind this armor lies pride in Hiroshi (especially his analytical mind). He insisted that his son attend an elite boarding school and personally took him to stock market simulations.
· Attitude to the name: at first he grumbled why they didn’t give him the classic “Henry,” but now he’s gotten used to it and even uses it as a “trick” in negotiations with Asian partners.

Mother: Elizabeth Bennett, 53, née Thompson

Origin: Born in San Francisco, her mother (Hiroshi's grandmother) was Japanese from Kyoto, and her father was an American diplomat. It was Elizabeth who inherited her Eastern aesthetic and insisted on the name Hiroshi (in honor of her grandfather, a calligrapher).
Appearance: Graceful, eternally elegant, with a short champagne-colored bob and pearl earrings. She owns a prestigious art gallery in Manhattan, curating exhibitions of contemporary art and traditional Japanese prints.
Personality: Intelligent, gentle, but with an iron will. She is the emotional center of the family: she softens her father's strictness, organizes Sunday dinners, and instilled in Hiroshi a love of the tea ceremony and Zen philosophy. Her son adores her and confides in her all his secrets.
· Philanthropy: She heads a charitable foundation that pays for the education of gifted children from low-income families - and this is not just for show, but sincerely.
