Idate

Idate (イダテ) is a humanoid orca and the main antagonist in Ice Scream. He also made a minor appearance in Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea known only as "Orca." He is the brother of Takama and the uncle of Nagi.

Physical Description
Idate's skin is pale, and his sharp black eyes are often accompanied with a smirk, giving him a devious appearance. He has cropped black hair with two white eye spots on both sides, giving him a more "orca-Esque" appearance, along with a tall black dorsal fin on his head. He wears a black business suit and a gray shirt. His pants and shoes are black. He also wears black gloves, something which runs in his family. Underneath his clothing, he has been shown wear heart-patterned boxers more than once.

In an illustration where he and his brother are depicted as being younger, he wore a black blazer with a gray sweater vest, a white shirt, as well as a red tie.

His orca form resembles that of any other orca, save for one detail. His saddleback patch resembles that of bat wings, which is about Idate's distant demon bloodline.

Personality
Idate has shown a tendency to be cruel and sadistic with his actions; he refers to violence as "playing," and sometimes assaults his victims before eating them. He does not resort to violence using weapons and believes that using them is "cheating."

When choosing a victim, he chooses someone he "likes." A frequent target of his is Shirogane, though he has also been shown harassing other members of Iceberg Isle. He has a particularly unhealthy obsession with Rocma, as he has a thing for people that resist him. When asked why Idate is so violent, Deep-Sea Prisoner stated that it is simply because he is an orca; he has no dark past. However, part of his personality may have been influenced by his father who was described as a "scary" guy.

Despite his violent nature, however, Idate also has a rather laid-back attitude and does not get worked up over matters fast. When asked in a livestream if Idate would eat a human if he were to come across one, Deep-Sea Prisoner replied that Idate is the type of guy that chooses things based on mood.

Besides violence, another favorite thing of his is smoking, which he can usually be seen doing.

In his Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea appearance, he is noticeably derogatory towards sharks, calling them "stupid" and "just fish." He even goes so far as to attack Samekichi unprovoked in hopes of eating him. Despite his belligerence, he is helpful at some moments, such as when he helped Tatsumiya escape at Wadanohara's request, although he claimed that he had nothing better to do.

Some of Idate's weaknesses include that his tail is a delicate area and that he seems to panic if he loses his cigarettes. His dexterity also decreases when he has consumed alcohol: when he is sober, he can get a perfect score playing darts, but he cannot even get one dart to hit the board while intoxicated.

Background
It has been said that Idate's parents live in a city of orca's, though it is unknown whether Idate also originates from there. Furthermore, while both of his parents are orcas, Idate has distant demon blood mixed in his bloodline. It has also been confirmed that he has no "dark past," though his father was described as a "scary" guy, and this may have influenced Idate's personality.

Major

 * Ice Scream - Idate is the main antagonist in Ice Scream, and commonly harasses the villagers of the island.

Minor

 * Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea - Idate is a minor character. In one bad ending, he devours Wadanohara out of curiosity, wondering what witch flesh tastes like. However, in the main storyline, he later aids Wadanohara with escorting Tatsumiya to a safer place.

Nagi
Nagi is Idate's niece. Idate has known her since she was a baby. Nowadays he often takes her out to go play. Nagi loves her uncle a lot and uses a hyper respectful tone in addressing him, calling him "oji-sama." She dislikes how he treats her like a child, and how his obsession with Rocma often shortens the time she spends together with him.

In several illustrations, she is depicted carrying out violent and possessive acts towards Idate, and he is shown being in terror of her. It is unknown when these events take place in the current timeline, or whether they are hypothetical scenarios. It has also been said that Idate has no clue about Nagi's feelings; he just sees her as an ordinary child and his niece.

Takama
Takama is Idate's elder brother. Idate will sometimes call him by his name or by aniki. They have yet to be seen interacting, but his elder brother seems to disapprove of him, even telling Nagi to keep away from him (as seen in Deep-Sea Prisoner's LOG #1). If the two were to get into a fight, Takama would win.

"Momma Orca"
"Momma Orca" is the sister-in-law of Idate's, married to his older brother Takama. The exact details of their relationship are currently unknown. However, Idate saw Takama get "shredded" on his wedding night and was freaked out by this. Idate thinks she is "madly depraved."

Rock
Rock detests Idate and the two of them have a violent relationship; nevertheless, Idate considers him "a true pal." Rock is a childhood friend of his, and they are smoking buddies. It has also been shown that Idate tends to talk a bunch about Rocma to him, much to Rock's obvious displeasure.

Rocma
Rocma is one of Idate's enemies. She is the only resident of Iceberg Isle who dares to counter him. Idate has an unhealthy obsession with her, which can be explained through him having a thing for people that resist him. Various illustrations depict him thinking of or talking about her. His one-sided feelings for here were furthermore confirmed as of the 2017/10/22 Sunahama relationship charts update. It has been said that Idate's feelings for her were "love at first sight." He would also like to win her over by pure power. Rocma - on the other hand - does not appreciate his advances, expressing disgust at him when possible.

Shirogane
Shirogane is Idate's victim. On two different occasions, Idate beat him with a stick and stabbed him with an icicle.

Yukisada
Yukisada is one of Idate's enemies. Idate tore off Yukisada's arm and tried to eat him.

Squid
In one image, Squid is shown saying "I'll kill youuuu," while holding Idate with his tentacles. This seems to signify that Squid is not fond of Idate. Otherwise, it is unknown what kind of relationship they have.

Wadanohara
Wadanohara is Idate's acquaintance. He attempted to eat her once as well, and he was even successful in Bad Ending 1. Later in the game, he fulfilled her request to assist Tatsumiya, although he brushed it off as simply having nothing else to do.

Samekichi
Samekichi was Idate's one-time torture target. Idate targeted him on account of Samekichi being a shark.

Old
Old was Idate's one-time torture target in Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea. Idate had quickly defeated him after Wadanohara had requested he do this to help Tatsumiya. Like Samekichi, Old was targeted by Idate on account of being a shark. Idate had also described Old to be the "wife-beater" type, and expressed his distaste in "those type of guys." He was furthermore shown to be impressed by the fact that, unlike Samekichi, Old was able to get back up from being beaten and still had the energy to fight; despite this, their combat did not continue as Idate followed Wadanohara's request to take Tatsumiya somewhere safe.

Tatsumiya
Tatsumiya is Idate's acquaintance. He assisted her in escaping from Old. A bonus scene in Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea implies that Tatsumiya has a crush on him. It has been stated that since Tatsumiya is very gentle, Idate would treat her in a gentlemanly manner.

Seguro
Idate and Seguro are acquaintances, seen to have met each other in the Bonus Room video "Love to Stroll" post-game. The two have a neutral relationship. Idate had first interacted with Seguro by inquiring as to where he found the underwater cigarettes, in which Seguro answers; the conversation between the two is brief and ends shortly.

Nekoyama
In Ice Scream, Nekoyama was seen delivering to Idate a pack of underwater cigarettes.

Satanick
Satanick and Idate share similar natures, as well as similar hobbies of sexual and violent natures. In non-canon illustrations, they have been seen to get along rather well, seen drinking and eating out together in a friendly manner.
