'''{{nihongo|Miwako Sato|佐藤美和子|Satou Miwako}}''', also known as '''Detective Saimone''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Eighteen years ago, when she was still at elementary school, Miwako lost her father, [[Masayoshi Sato]], in a traffic accident as he was about to deliver a bank robber to the police - an event that marked her life. She eventually became a police officer on her own and now works alongside [[Inspector Megure]], [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], [[Officer Chiba]], and especially [[Wataru Takagi]] in the Tokyo police district.

Sato first met [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]] during a blackmail case against Nichiuri TV.<ref>Manga Chapter 190: The 56 Thousand Hostages</ref> In a subsequent case which dealt with a cunning murder of a banker's wife by her husband, she became impressed with Conan's intellect and deductionary ability and has since come to trust his judgements implicitly.<ref>Manga Chapter 210: An Unexpected Rival</ref> Eventually, the case of her father's death was also resolved with [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]]'s help, which helped fanning the spark of affection she was feeling for him at the time.<ref>Manga Chapter 269: Time's Up</ref>

Sato's first love interest was [[Jinpei Matsuda]], whom she only got to know briefly due to his death by the hands of a dangerous bomber. Although she denied it at first, she finally acknowledged her feelings for Takagi, which made him the outcast among the other jealous police officers who were interested in her, especially [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Shiratori]]. Nonetheless, for a very long time, anytime they were about to take their relationship to the very next step, something got in the way (mostly in the shape of Miwako's best friend, [[Yumi Miyamoto|Yumi]]), until Sato and Takagi - mostly undisturbed - shared their very first kiss when Takagi was hospitalized in the course of a hard case.<ref>Manga Chapter 673: The Common Pattern</ref>

== Personality ==
Sato is considered one of the more dangerous members of the police, being not at all afraid to get tangled with dangerous men in fights, which she almost always wins. However, she does have a softer personality, in which she is very friendly with the [[Detective Boys]], and especially [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], whom she considers is a big help in difficult cases. When in action, however, Sato can be quite reckless and daring, which has earned her the title 'The Silver Witch' among car racers on Mount Fuyuna due to her driving style.<ref>Manga Chapter 663: The True Identity of the Witch</ref>

Her favorite hobbies are going to the karaoke, attending all-you-can-eat offers and going out to eat ramen.

Sato has a habit of shrieking while drifting without pulling the handbrake as she feels that shrieking helps make it easier.
But she finds it embarrassing, though.
