In the entire world, Wataru (航 , 亘 , Wataru , and others...) is a widespread dominantly masculine, but uncommonly feminine forename. The given name Wataru is characteristic of China, where it is quite a common mostly male, but infrequently feminine name, Japan, where it is quite a rare boy's name, and the United States, where it is a very rare principally male, but very seldom female name. Very seldom, Wataru is the last name as well as the forename.
Wataru is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Wataru Takagi , the fictional character from Detective Conan and Wataru Kurenai .
