Watari was mentored at Nikkatsu by Yujiro Ishihara. When Nikkatsu shifted to focusing on Roman Porno films in the early seventies, Watari was one of many of their actors who left the studio.
He was the president of Ishihara Promotion after Yujiro's death in 1987 but in 2011 he resigned due to his health conditions.
On June 10, 2015 he was hospitalised for acute myocardial infarction and underwent surgery. On July 17 it was announced that he was in rehabilitation and would be discharged from hospital in about a month.
He has a younger brother, Tsunehiko Watase, who is also an actor.
