Wataru Date (伊達 航 Date Wataru?) is a character in the manga franchise Detective Conan.

Background

Wataru Date was a former police officer from Tokyo Metropolitan Police District under the Criminal Investigation First Division. He was later assigned to be the mentor of Wataru Takagi,[2] and together they became known as the "Wataru Brothers."[3] Unfortunately, he got caught up in a car accident after one his stake outs with Takagi and died.[2] A year later after his death, it was discovered that Date was an acquaintance of Tooru Amuro, whom he had met while attending a police academy.[4]

Personality

Date was considered to be a "carnivore"-type of a man compared to Takagi (by Miwako Sato)[3] and could be described as an aggressive person.[5] In addition to these, he was also a kind and caring person as attested by his interactions with Takagi and his text message to Amuro.[5][4]

Tooru Amuro

Date and Amuro were best friends in the police academy; Amuro was the topped ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Amuro went somewhere else and fell out of contact with Date for unknown reasons. Date's last text to Amuro asked him where he was and chiding Amuro to communicate once in a while. Amuro was shown visiting Date's grave, and likely left a toothpick out of respect for Date; Date used them habitually.

Name origin

Wataru Date shares his first name with police sergeant Wataru Takagi, which prompted him to make a nickname for the both of them: "Wataru Brothers." However, the kanji that represented his first name was different to that of Takagi's. His name is written with the kanji 航, which has the ON-reading of kou (コウ ?). Meanwhile, Takagi's is written with the kanji 渉, which has the ON-reading of kyou (キョウ ?).[3] This similarity in first name became an important factor in the Overnight Deadline case. Date's last name played an important role in the said case as well.[6]
