Director Sawa is the eyepatch wearing director of the hospital. He enjoys appearing frightening (as he shows in his first encounter with Red Ribbon) but is actually quite caring about both his patients and staff. He was the person who rescued Ray 10 years ago when she was left for dead, and in the process lost his right eye and leg. He worked with Dr. Kasugano and the H Ring man before the three split 20 years ago.
