Watanabe stated that the nickname Nabeshin (which is a combination of "nabe" in Watanabe and "shin" in Shinichi) came to him from Kami-sama.
About his unique appearance (dressing similar to the character Arsène Lupin III ) Watanabe said he grew out his afro and started wearing bright clothing in order to stand out and get attention.
