Wataru is a townie in Starlet Town. He is a retired boat captain. He doesn't go out much from his residence, the lighthouse. He usually goes out only to take care of his garden and visit the Beach Shack. He is an old friend of Suki and Alice's dad.
Wataru usually goes out only to take care of his garden and to visit the Beach Shack.
In-game profile
He does not have the best relationship with his son, Wakuu. Although Wakuu now lives in the observatory, he always makes sure to visit his father on the weekends. Wataru is a strict parent who is not very good at communication. He is set in his ways and is very hard to convince of opinions other than his own, something Wakuu struggles with frequently. Wataru raised his son as a single parent. Wakuu was born out of a one-night stand and his mother is not around.
Wataru is reserved and willful. Hard-headed and stern, he likes his own space and has the tendency to be a hermit. He does not talk about his feelings because he does not think talking about them helps with anything. He is focused when it comes to goals, and takes pride in what he does. He can often be stubborn and judgmental, and has a tendency for blaming himself for things when they go wrong.

Dialogues
First meeting
Introduction
Eh? Are ya looking for farming advice? Never worked the land, myself. I’m more at home at sea. ’Cept for my plants, ’ere. My lovelies.
Introduction
*nods*
Generic
Monday - Sunday, Heart 0 - 2
I don’t get to Starlet much. Keep to myself ’ere at the lighthouse.
Sunday - Friday, Heart 0 - 6
You know my son, Wakuu?
Monday - Friday, Heart 6 - 10
I used to catch Wakuu up on deck at night, stargazing. He’d sneak out of bed!
Monday - Friday, Heart 6 - 10
Finally, I stopped trying to make him stay put. The boy was obsessed with those stars, he was.
Friday - Sunday, Heart 8 - 10
I raised Wakuu myself, y’know. His mother, well… Not much to say about her.
Friday - Sunday, Heart 8 - 10
A fine lass, but she wasn’t around. Ah, never mind. Not worth dredging up the past.
Spring
Date 5 - 8, Heart 6 - 10
Wakuu’s been going on about the Cherry Blossom Festival. He wants me to go with him.
Date 5 - 8, Heart 6 - 10
Bah. I don’t see the point.
Heart 6 - 10
The sun is out again… This will be good for my lovelies. Not Wakuu. I meant my plants.
Date 22 - 27, Heart 6 - 10
I can already feel the Summer breeze comin’ in. Gonna be a hot one this year, I know.
Date 22 - 27, Heart 6 - 10
I’m getting ready to weed my lovelies. Planting juicy berries next season, I think. What about yer farm? Berries this Summer?
Summer
I s’pose now that Summer’s ’ere, everyone’s going to be walking around eating ice cream. Don’t care for it, myself.
And so messy! Putting a food that melts on top of a cone so it can drip all over your hands in the hot sun… I just never understood the appeal.
Summer’s the best time for fishing. In this weather, you can toss out a net and pull it in, full of fish. Easy as that!
Heart 8 - 10
Keep seeing weird stuff at the beach nowadays… Somebody was half naked, sitting by the fireplace from morning till sunset. Bah.
Heart 8 - 10
That’s what warm weather brings out…
Fall
Date 21 - 25
Cold weather’s blowing in from the east. We’ll see some snow before long.
Heart 6 - 10
If you want some melons, you gotta wait until next Summer. Fall isn’t hot enough to grow them.
Heart 8 - 10
The lighthouse isn’t big enough to grow fruit like papaya. You can on your farm. They should be in season now.
Heart 8 - 10
Have some leftover blueberries from last season in the freezer. I might make some muffins with them. My son likes those things, y’know…muffins.
Date 8 - 13, Heart 6 - 10
Harvest Festival, eh? Yeah, I might see it. I don’t like crowds, y’know. But the crops. They might be worth the trip.
Winter
I don’t mind the snow. It’s the ice that irks me. Turns the water into land.
It’s hard to garden with snow everywhere.
Heart 6 - 10
Can you still buy seeds at Sam’s? Might ask Wakuu to pick up some for the lighthouse.
Heart 6 - 10
Heard there’s some travelers living in the forest who might have some Winter seeds. You know of this person? Ken or something? Not Jack’s boy, is it?
Date 22 - 27, Heart 8 - 10
People are gathering on New Year’s Eve, I think… I don’t know, not invited. My son told me about it.
