However, when she wakes up, she doesn't remember the exact details of what she has told her friend. In her drunken state, Sato unknowingly reveals to Yumi the person that she has feelings for. One night, Sato and her best friend Yumi Miyamoto from the traffic department have a drink together. This case is the very beginning of the long and enduring love story between Miwako Sato and her fellow police officer, Wataru Takagi. Miwako's first appearance was in Episode 130, and in manga File 190, where she is seen trying to arrest the culprit's accomplice along with other police officers, but failed.
Plot overview Stadium Bomber Case (Manga: 189- 191 Anime: 130-131) Her favorite hobbies are going to the karaoke, attending all-you-can-eat offers, and going out to eat ramen. 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. 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. 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. Then had their second kiss (and third) when Takagi survived a bombing accident. Nonetheless, for a very long time, each time 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 (thanks to the help of Conan and the Detective Boys for creating a makeshift reason for the interlopers to leave) - shared their very first kiss when Takagi was hospitalized in the course of a hard case. 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, at first (although he supports their relationship now). Sato's first love interest was Jinpei Matsuda, whom she only got to know briefly due to his death in a bomb explosion.
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.
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. Sato first met Conan and the Detective Boys during a blackmail case against Nichiuri TV. 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. Miwako and her last moment with her fatherĮighteen 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.
