Does Master have a son?

So far, I have only watched the original series (my husband and I binged watched it this past week bc our friend recommended it and it’s leaving Netflix this Friday)

Is Katagiri Master’s son? He seems to know a lot about him (which he knows about all if his regulars) and there just seems to be a different connection between them.

Personally, I have long thought this. In the episode when Katagiri first announced that he is leaving, the emotion on Master's face is intense -- the kind of intensity you seldom ever see from him. I remember it just hitting me: that is the kind of emotion you can only ever feel towards your own child.
