Background
Eighteen years ago, when she was still at elementary school, Miwako lost her father, Masayoshi Sato , in a traffic accident as he was about to deliver a bank robber to the police - an event that marked her life. She eventually became a police officer on her own and now works alongside Inspector Megure, Ninzaburo Shiratori, Detective Chiba, and especially Wataru Takagi in the Tokyo police district.
Sato first met Conan and the Detective Boys during a blackmail case against Nichiuri TV.[3] In a subsequent case which dealt with a cunning murder of a banker's wife by her husband, she became impressed with Conan's intellect and deductionary ability and has since come to trust his judgements implicitly.[4] Eventually, the case of her father's death was also resolved with Takagi's help, which helped fanning the spark of affection she was feeling for him at the time.[5]
Sato's first love interest was Jinpei Matsuda, whom she only got to know briefly due to his death by the hands of a dangerous bomber. Although she denied it at first, she finally acknowledged her feelings for Takagi, which made him the outcast among the other jealous police officers who were interested in her, especially Shiratori. Nonetheless, for a very long time, anytime they were about to take their relationship to the very next step, something got in the way (mostly in the shape of Miwako's best friend, Yumi), until Sato and Takagi - mostly undisturbed (thanks to the help of Conan and the Detective Boys for creating a makeshift reason for the interlopers to leave) - shared their very first kiss when Takagi was hospitalized in the course of a hard case.[6]Then had their second kiss when Takagi survived a bombing accident.[7]
Personality
Sato is considered one of the most dangerous members of the police, being not at all afraid to get tangled with dangerous men in fights, which she almost always wins. However, she does have a softer personality, in which she is very friendly with the Detective Boys, and especially Conan, whom she considers is a big help in difficult cases. When in action, however, Sato can be quite reckless and daring, which has earned her the title 'The Silver Witch' among car racers on Mount Fuyuna due to her driving style.[8]
Her favorite hobbies are going to the karaoke, attending all-you-can-eat offers, and going out to eat ramen.

Relationship analysis
Family & Friends
Wataru Takagi
Miwako started to have feelings for Takagi after seeing the resemblance he has of the deceased Matsuda Jinpei. Their relationship gradually develops as the series continues.
Yumi Miyamoto
Yumi is Miwako's best friend in the headquarter. They are seen together a lot, and Yumi always teases Miwako about her relationship with Takagi.
Inspector Megure
Inspector Megure is like a father figure to Miwako as she said to Takagi in one of the episodes (although Takagi mistook it as a love interest at first).
Conan Edogawa
Miwako seems to admire Conan, like Takagi, usually telling Conan information that are actually forbidden to be leaked to normal citizens.
Ninzaburo Shiratori
Although Shiratori crushes on Sato and attempts to marry her, she views him as a friend. He only gives up after the Detective Boys point him to Kobayashi.

Trivia
- Sato drives a red series 6 Mazda (Ẽfini) RX-7. It used to be white, but she painted it red so it would be more visible in the fog.
- Sato has a habit of shrieking while drifting without pulling the handbrake as she feels that shrieking helps make it easier. But she finds it embarrassing, though.
- Sato is a fan of Lupin III.
- Sato dislike any type of shining or expensive jewelries. This fact was used by Yumi to trick some of her admirer to by expensive jewels that she seems nice. However, she wears a ghost-expelled ring which she think came from Takagi.
- A running gag in the series is how whenever she and Takagi go on a date, they are stalked by other police detectives who have crushes on her.
- In the English Dub, during Captured In Her Eyes, a script error says that Sato died when she was shot. This is false, however, all parts of the movie say she died, until the end of the movie where it says she will survive. Why this is like this is unknown.
