List of Hayate The Combat Butler Characters - Tachibana Household

Tachibana Household

Wataru Tachibana (橘 ワタル, Tachibana Wataru?)

Voiced by: Marina Inoue

Wataru Tachibana is Nagi's fiance, but they have no feelings for each other. Wataru claims that his parents arranged their future marriage entirely for money. He lives and runs a video-rental store in the city, the last store owned by the Tachibana group, which lost all their assets and is on the verge of bankruptcy due to the recession. His dream is to make his store great and acquire a fortune greater than Nagi's. Wataru is in love with Isumi. He initially hates Hayate for accidentally stealing Isumi's affection, but later he looks up to him and strives to be like him. Despite this, he still calls Hayate by his own personal nickname for him, "Butler In Debt" or "Bankrupt Butler" (or a variation there of), and doesn't hide his usual irritation. He's same age as Nagi, Isumi & Sakuya

Later on in the manga, it is revealed in an off-hand conversation that Wataru's store is actually starting to do well and is making some profit. However, he has yet to retain a fortune that can match Nagi's. On Golden Week, Wataru took Saki on a trip to Las Vegas. They had a gamble with Mikoto to reach a decision since she started looking down on Wataru and his dad for their lack of business insight. Sakuya also ended up being part of the bet since they did not have enough money. Sakuya was dressed as a bunny girl and forced to strip if Saki lost in the gamble. They ended up winning by asking Hayate if he would choose red or black and choosing the opposite in the roulette. Wataru later receive a pendant (King's Stone), from his mother, that is similar to Hayate's and Aika's. It is also shown that he cares for Saki, although in a different way from how he feels about Isumi. This is implied through the great means he often goes through to make her happy, or to otherwise make up for wronging her. This includes a time where he believes she is downtrodden because he had forgotten her 20th birthday, when he had also promised to buy her a furisode (a long-sleeved kimono used for coming-of-age ceremonies). In order to make up for this, he goes as far as to buy a 200,000 yen (roughly $1,650) yukata for her because the furisode was too expensive, and even rejects a chance (as he sees it) to win Isumi's heart. Later on, he realizes his love for Saki when he saw her face in his mind just before confessing to Isumi in chapter 330. After they deposit the money received Sakuya to a bank, Wataru decided to quit from Hakuou to manage his businesses.
