Satoshi Hikari / Hiwatari (日渡 怜)
Satoshi Hiwatari (日渡 怜) is the police commander in charge of capturing Dark. Extremely intelligent, Satoshi graduated from high school at the age of eight, and obtained a college degree at the age of 13. He enrolled in Daisuke's middle school in order to be closer to Daisuke, whom he knew was Dark's alter ego. Calm and composed, he rarely shows his emotions causing others to find him distant and cold. Daisuke seems unaffected by his distant nature, and insists on becoming his friend. Reluctant at first, Satoshi comes to accept Daisuke's friendship, though later withdraws from school to try to distance himself from Daisuke again out of fear. He later returns to offer to aid rescuing Risa from Argentine. Series fans often suggest that Satoshi has deeper feelings for Daisuke than that of friendship, though Satoshi himself has never stated such a thing. Krad, however, does state the same during the series while taunting Satoshi.
Satoshi is the last heir of the Hikari family, which created powerful artworks that the Niwa family has been stealing for years via Dark. However, unlike most of his line, he is unable to create art of his own, though he can mimic any piece if he sees it once, while Daisuke can create original art, flipping their normal family legacies. After his mother's death, Satoshi was adopted by the Hiwatari family. His adoptive father appears to be aware of the Hikari and in the anime adaptation attempts to use it for his own purposes, eventually getting killed by one of the artworks he tries to harness the power of.
Much as Daisuke houses the soul of Dark Mousy, Satoshi holds that of his opposite, Krad. Unlike Dark, Krad is homicidal and cares nothing for Satoshi, causing Satoshi to regularly fight to keep him inside. It is suggested that Satoshi wears glasses as a way of helping him keep Krad in check, as he notes that he does not actually needs them and when he once removes them, he almost immediately feels Krad trying to emerge.
