Type of Fish: Asian sheepshead wrasse named Yoriko, and diver's name is Hiroyuki Arakawa, a Japanese diver, has nurtured a 30-year friendship with Yoriko, an Asian sheepshead wrasse, in Tateyama Bay. While overseeing an underwater Shinto shrine gate at 56 feet deep, he met Yoriko, known for her bulbous forehead and human-like face—traits of mature male wrasses. Their bond grew when he found her injured, feeding her crab meat for 10 days until she healed. Since then, Yoriko recognizes him, swimming to him when he taps metal near the shrine. Now in his 80s, Arakawa kisses her forehead, a gesture she accepts only from him, captured in photos and videos on his Facebook. Running a dive shop, he marvels at her familiar face. The Asian sheepshead wrasse, a hermaphrodite species, can grow to 39 inches and is edible, but Yoriko is his companion. Studies show fish like her can recognize humans, supporting their connection. Featured in media like Great Big Story, their tale blends care, trust, and science in Japan’s waters.
