Watarai is one of the aides who serve Sei Asaki in Sakamoto Days. A weathered older man tied to the Japanese Association of Assassins, he answers his superior's instructions without hesitation and first appears deep into the manga's run.
Age shows plainly on Watarai, whose sunken cheeks and drooping handlebar mustache give him a gaunt look. His clothing follows the standard worn across the JAA, a plain black suit paired with a matching tie.
The manga reveals little about his inner character. In his role beside Asaki he comes across as obedient, moving on orders at once. One such errand had him purchase a piece of art that was not even up for sale at the time, simply because he was told to acquire it.
Watarai works as an assistant to Sei Asaki within the JAA, functioning as one of the assassins under that banner. He enters the story in Chapter 143 of the manga.
