Kunimasu The Miraculous Fish

Kunimasu or black kokanee is a fish that was believed to have gone extinct in 1940 due to an increased level of acidity in its native habitat of Lake Tazawa, in northern Japan. Then, on December 14, 2010, a chance request led to the discovery of a live specimen in another lake called Saiko near Mt. Fuji. The news of the rediscovery made the front pages of the national press and spread around the country.

Join popular Japanese illustrator and TV personality "Sakana-kun," a visiting associate professor at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology and fish expert Professor Tetsuji Nakabo of Kyoto University for a recounting of the whole fascinating story of the rediscovery of Kunimasu, from the surprise find and the confirmation of the fish's identity through to the triumphant public announcement. It's a captivating tale of serendipity that you don't want to miss.
