I was also on board for hating the guy, but my best guess is in line with yours in that he is probably affiliated in some way with the Usuba family (Miyo's mother's family). They spent some extra time in this episode to reiterate the importance and secretiveness of the family, likely foreshadowing his character. This, in addition with his standing in front of a cherry tree that looks suspiciously like Miyo's mother's tree seals it for me.
