A damper includes a cylindrical housing, a rotor rotatably disposed in the housing and having a cylindrical shaft portion and a wing portion radially outwardly extending from the shaft portion, a control valve member disposed between the housing and the shaft portion to cover the wing portion, and a viscous fluid filled inside the housing. The wing portion has an asymmetric shape with respect to a rotational direction of the rotor relative to a straight line extending radially from the shaft portion. The wing portion includes a tip side surface, and a back end side surface. The control valve member includes a first inner surface facing a sloping surface parallel thereto, and a second inner surface facing a flat surface parallel thereto.
