Meet “Loco”, our youngest finless porpoise at Zone E “Sea of Ise-shima”

Do you remember Kokoro, the finless porpoise” gave birth to a calf on 8th October, 2023. Raised by our staffs’ hand feeding, he grew up in healthy condition, and finally moved to the exhibition pool located at Zone E “Sea of Ise-shima”.
As you may want to call him up in front of the pool, the staffs gave him a sounds-the-best name –“Loco”!
It is an abbreviation for “Kokoloco” which means born to Kokoro in Japanese, as well as a Hawaiian word meaning “local”. Since his birth date is officially recognized as “Day of Toba-city”, we believe Loco will contribute to raising popularity of our town.
Meet Loco and find the beauty of marine culture in Toba city.
