As a young child, his classmates bullied him for being overweight, eventually leading him to lose weight and to adopt a new narcissistic visual-kei persona. He's also concerned about outright appearances to the point of dieting advises against dieting to Tatsuya, and tells him to lose weight by simply not eating so "then you can be like me." At home, Eikichi acts completely differently, wearing traditional Japanese clothes and acting respectful under the fear of his father's intimidations. His father treats him as an extension of himself, essentially trying to force him to take over the sushi shop and to become a traditional hypermasculine Japanese man. Eikichi obeys and does not wear his visual-kei attire at home, as he states that he is scared of his father, who is rumored to learn 18 types of martial arts and has a black belt in Judo, to physically harm him. However, his father does not know such martial arts and he likely does not have a black belt in Judo, and only claimed he did to intimidate his son and put him in line. It is also stated in the Persona 2 World Guidance book that Eikichi's mother is supportive of his interests in both visual-kei and music.
