Personality[]
In private, he was a very friendly and calm person, not to be seen in Edo period dramas (children who were going to walk in the street shouted "He's a bad officer!" Even if he was called out, he never looked disgusting, and he answered by waving with a smile.) Kawai himself said, "Even if the children didn't know my name, they just looked at my face and said, 'He's a bad officer in a Edo period drama!'" I'm very happy as an actor."[citation needed]
