Wakaba Ogino is the wife of police inspector Kuniharu Ogino and mother to their daughter, Azusa Ogino. She possesses brown hair typically worn in a braid and distinctive violet eyes, often presenting a gentle demeanor. Her personality radiates exceptional calmness and kindness; she consistently maintains composure even in highly unusual or dangerous situations. This remarkable poise was evident when she remained unalarmed after a key pierced her forehead and when an octopus was placed on her head, showing no distress or agitation. Wakaba speaks softly and exhibits a profoundly forgiving nature, capable of soothing the volatile mafia boss Don Valentino, though she inadvertently developed a dislike for his assistant Lorenzo. A defining characteristic is her near-total lack of danger awareness; she remained oblivious when Don Valentino stalked her and Azusa to retrieve a key they accidentally possessed, ultimately requiring police protection for their safety. Her interactions with husband Kuniharu reflect patience and affection despite his overt focus on their daughter. She expressed a desire for his attention, such as attempting to receive a kiss, though he declined, possibly due to embarrassment in front of others like Hiroshi Inaba and his assistants. Wakaba understands Kuniharu's dedication to Azusa and is not troubled by the disparity in his displays of affection. Family activities often include her participation, indicating Kuniharu's consideration for her. Her relationship with Azusa is mutually loving, with Wakaba encouraging her daughter's energetic playfulness. Azusa reciprocates this affection, evidenced by moments of jealousy when Wakaba briefly directed attention toward Don Valentino. Within broader social circles, Wakaba is friendly with members of the Inaba Detective Agency. Kei Nozaki acknowledged her beauty and noted her extreme resilience made her a fitting match for Kuniharu. She expressed gratitude toward the agency for handling threats from Don Valentino and his associates. Her background indicates marriage to Kuniharu prior to Hiroshi Inaba's departure from the police force, as Hiroshi was aware of their family. A significant plot involvement occurred when Azusa obtained a key sought by Don Valentino, leading to his pursuit of them. This prompted Kuniharu to place them under Hiroshi Inaba's protection, highlighting Wakaba's vulnerability stemming from her inability to perceive threats. Her name, Wakaba, translates to "young leaf," reflecting a connection to natural imagery, while her surname, Ogino, means "reed plain."
