At the end of the school career, the average Japanese child is then highly educated. Hotaka is no exception, while his high level of intelligence also counts in his favor. Hotaka is not physically very adept, but enjoys water sports such as swimming and sailing. In general, physical prowess is not something he will need during his future career in his father's company.
Another element that counts in Hotaka's favor is the fact that he has a particular affinity for his father's work. He is very communicative with his father, and enjoys learning from him. He sees entering his father's role as an opportunity to further the family legacy. Like his father, he also feels that family values and traditions are highly important not only for the stability of Japanese culture in general, but also for the Japanese individual specifically.
Although Hotaka is limited in terms of personal career choice, he does not see this as a limitation. Instead, his prospects...
The advantage of this is that he has a readily established position to enter once his father retires or passes away. Being prepared for this both in practice by his father and in theory by the college, places him in a readily-established position of power. He can then build upon this to surpass his father's already considerable achievements in his company. There is even the possibility that he may become the company director or owner in the future.
In terms of family, success in this field will enable Hotaka to leave a considerably powerful position for his own eldest son. This is something that he finds particularly important, and serves as motivation for his future plans. In moving within his own cultural context and fulfilling familial expectations, Hotaka Mori has a number of power expansion opportunities, as seen above. He expects a bright future after his college career.
