And both of them have god complexes. Plus both of their sons have white rider forms, if we're going for weak examples.

Banno and Kuroto both commit evil for the sake of their planet-sized egos while Masamune does it for his company. I think I've mentioned that already.

But I can see that there are enough similarities between Banno and Masamune for your point to stand. Banno and Masamune both treated their wives harshly (well, I remember Kiriko from Drive saying that her mother would a sad look her face when her father mentioned but I have no further proof of Banno's behaviour towards his wife), both are connected to female lead ( Banno is Kiriko's father, Masamune is Poppy's host's husband ) and both spent a long time imprisoned (Banno was imprisoned in a tablet while Masamune was in the slammer)

So yes, I see your point although I still believe that Kuroto is more to Banno than Masamune.
