Mr. Watabe Is the father of Michiaki Watabe. While it could be assumed he is married, a wife isn't shown or mentioned. However, a poster shows him with an assistant that may be related to the Watabe family. Like his son he loves magic and is a professional magician. He also runs a supplies store. After he twists his back, he has to spend time resting and can't perform, so Michiaki takes his place.
