Does he really care about his daughter or not? Honestly he's such an irresponsible parent...
He is a selfish person. He did it all for himself. To remind him that he is a dad, to feel like a good dad. He does not care about Taiga like a real parent should. He only sends her money out of obligation since he is her father.

Both Ryuji and Taiga had different parent issues, each parent being different. Ryuji's dad ran away when he heard he got his girlfriend pregnant, his mom sacrifices everything for Ryuji but wants live vicariously through him since she went from being a 16 year old girl to a mother, skipping over being a teenager and young adult. Taiga's mother got up and left because her husband found a younger woman, and left alone Taiga in the process.

One thing to note is that both mothers are not bad people like the fathers. They just have personal difficulties but in the end they love their child and do sincerely want to help them. I wonder if that's because the author is a woman... hmmm...
