On February 9, 1997, a group of 10 Orcas were captured in Hatajiri Bay, Japan. Five whales were released while all three females as well as two males were kept.
One unnamed male was sent with an unnamed female and a male named Kyu to Nanki Shirahama Adventure World. Here, they were kept separate from the resident whales at the park.
Unfortunately, on June 14, 1997, the unnamed male died due to a Systemic Viral Infection after only 4 months in captivity.
