[ Kaz wants to say his father is a good man, but he's had some time to think about the situation with Yuuri and his mom. So maybe "good" isn't necessarily the right word. ]

He was kind of strict when I was growing up, but he was always there for me when I needed him. He really values honor and integrity... At least, he always tried to teach me that those things are important.

[ Which is why those charges against him suck... even if Kiryu wants to believe they're wrong, the law still found him guilty. He sighs. The next words spill with a heavy heart. ]

It feels kind of weird saying all this when he didn't even tell mom about you. Maybe he was trying to teach me not to be like him.
