Wataru Matoba

Wataru Matoba (的場 航海) is a first-year university student taking up Literature. He is the bassist for the band Argonavis.

He is the younger brother of Kenta Satozuka.

Background
His father was a mariner, and his mother was also often absent due to being a nurse, so he spent much of his childhood together with his older brother. From his brother being in a band, he got interested in the bass. With his more cautious personality, he often finds the negatives to Yuto Goryo's attempts to be positive. And yet, it's because he wants the band to be a success. He likes to fish and read in his spare time. Along with being Argonavis' lyricist, he was also the one who thought of the band's name.

Etymology
Wataru (航海) means "sailing" or "voyage". It can be split into two parts: 航 which could mean "aviation" and 海 means "sea". Both 航 and 海 can be read as Wataru.

Matoba (的場) can be split into two parts: Mato (的) means "target" while Ryō (稜) means "location" or "place".
