Wataru is the trickster-type member of the popular boy band, Callings. He has a continuing (supposedly) unrequited love for Mion. He is sometimes blatant and humourous in his advances. He is a source of support to Mion, and always know when she's in trouble. He can see right through her stubborn, sharp-tongued exterior.
Role in the Plot
Wataru does not have much of a role in Aurora Dream, except as Mion's support. He teaches Rizumu some ideas on how to learn English, saves Mion from a bunch of flirts at the summer festival, runs to cheer her on at her important tournaments, and in the final episode, when Mion is crying when Jun leaves, Mion asks why he also came. He replied, "I just thought I'm the only one who's chest you can cry in! Now, come on!" He spread his arms out for her to cry, to which she, as usual, brushed him off, but she was in fact truly happy he was there.
Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future
Wataru appears to still be working in Callings 3 years later. He has changed his hairstyle, and has grown in the past 3 years. Everyone in Callings has supposedly graduated from highschool.
In Mia's vision of the future, he supposedly works alongside Mion at Pretty Top as her right-hand-man.
Etymology
Wataru's given name means "to spread." When his name is put together with the other two members of Callings, their names literally mean, "An echoing show."
Trivia
- In the manga, Wataru was given the family name "Hyuuga".
- Wataru is the least expanded character in Callings by far, with no knowledge of his family, his past, or what he does outside of lessons.
