Wataru Tachibana is Nagi's fiance but is in love with Isumi, Nagi's best friend. The engagement was set by Enkyou Tachibana, Wataru's grandfather, and current head of the Tachibana family and its assets. Wataru owns and lives in a video rental shop, and wholeheartedly believes that if he works untiringly, he will someday be able to surpass the Sanzenin fortune. He lives together with his maid Saki who has been taking care of him for a long time. He is also a student in Hakuou Academy and with Sakuya's sacrifice he was also able to move up grades with Nagi and Isumi.

Characteristics and Personality

Wataru can be both strong headed and stubborn like Nagi. He was initially hostile when first encountering Hayate at Nagi's mansion. However after seeing his kind and considerate personality at work various times, he warms up to him and vowed to become more like Hayate one day. Despite being 13, he can be both kind and responsible, as quoted by Saki , to the extent that older girls like Sonia fell in love with him.

Wataru later returns to the Sanzenin mansion and was caught by Hayate and Tama to be sniffing Isumi's stole which she misplaced earlier. Though Hayate said he would not tell others about this as not to embarrass Wataru, Tama wanted to do the exact opposite. Hayate was able to stop Tama from doing anything and Wataru decided to let Hayate be the one to return the stole. This incident seemed to have made the relationship between the two a whole lot friendlier. After receiving the stole, Isumi was about to go home when she noticed Hayate's cursed pendant. She hugged Hayate to be able to deal with the curse and also said that she liked him, shocking Hayate, Wataru, Nagi, and Maria.
