Miwako Sato (佐藤 美和子 Satō Miwako?), also known as Detective Saimone in the Funimation dub, is a police assistant inspector and detective in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.

Background

Miwako and her last moment with her father

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, Detective Chiba, and especially Wataru Takagi in the Tokyo police district.

Sato first met Conan and the Detective Boys during a blackmail case against Nichiuri TV.[2] 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.[3] Eventually, the case of her father's death was also resolved with Takagi's help, which helped fanning the spark of affection she was feeling for him at the time.[4]

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 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), until Sato and Takagi - mostly undisturbed - shared their very first kiss when Takagi was hospitalized in the course of a hard case.[5]

Personality

Sato is considered one of the most 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, 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.[6]

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

Plot overview

The 56 Thousand Hostages

Miwako's first appearance was in episode 130 (The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case), and in manga File 190, where she is seen trying to arrest the culprit's accomplice along with other police officers, but gradually failed.

An Unexpected Rival

The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages

Relationship analysis

Family & Friends

Sato and Takagi

Wataru Takagi

Miwako has a crush on Takagi after seeing the resemblance he has of the deceased Matsuda Jinpei. Their relationship gradually develops as the series continues.

Yumi Miyamoto

Yumi is Miwako's best friend as the headquarter. They are seen together a lot, with Yumi always teasing Miwako in her relationship with Takagi.

Inspector Megure

Inspector Megure is like a father figure to Miwako as she said to Takagi in one of the episodes (although Takagi mistook it as a love interest at first).

Conan Edogawa

Miwako seems to admire Conan, like Takagi, usually telling Conan information that are actually forbidden to be leaked to normal citizens.

Miwako's Mother

Ninzaburou Shiratori

Trivia

Sato's RX-7
  • Sato drives a red series 6 Mazda (Ẽfini) RX-7. It used to be white, but she painted it red so it would be more visible in the fog.
  • 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.
  • Sato is a fan of Lupin III.
