The Fisherman is somewhat of a mystery, one of those strange people that appear from time to time and are attributed to be involved in bizarre events. Although the Fisherman exists and can be seen as a simple pilot from Shikoku, you are left wondering if some of those rumors area really related to him.

Hailing from Planet Junyo in Shikoku, the Fisherman looks like a peasant in it's late fifties, with gray hair and beard, and always wearing common clothes of the people working in the Fishing Platforms and other oceanic production plants in the planet. Some people have said than when in his presence, a faint smell of sea is noticeable.

What is the Fisherman identity is something that it's difficult to ascertain. People in Junyo who know him tell that he looks like a jolly fellow, and has good connections with many influential people, from the syndicates of the planet, to some of the top businessman and politicians. However, when asked about his name or family, the workers feign ignorance or outright reluctance to discuss the matter. One drunken pilot found in a bar of Junyo spaceport blurted out that his family name was possibly Otsu. In Fuchu, a prisoner mentioned that a man called Kaito Hasebe resembled the description of the person known as the Fisherman. Neither of these pieces of information are reliable.


What the fisherman does however is a little more easier to determine. Part of his time he stands as one of the wharf masters in one of the Yoshinogawa Atoll fishing platforms. He also is seen heading to space, commanding his own personal freighter or one of the transports of the Shimoe Fishing and Cargo Company, which rumors say the Fisherman has acquired quite a big share of the company assets recently. Most of his travels seem related to export of Junyo pearls, and other traditional Kusari produce.

It was noted that he started spending more time in space, sometimes accompanied by a small group of other pilots. Kempeitai intelligence took notice of this development and considered that the Fisherman might had acquired connections to a Hogosha syndicate. Suspicions came to be true, as the Fisherman was placed at the head of a commercial organization called the Takarabune Company, which has grown in size and scope. This company, self-described as a "pearls and fish production and export company", has expanded several times its original size, and it is now known as the Takarabune Conglomerate.

The Fisherman has been detained some times for showing up with “suspiciously acquired” cargo on his ship, which he usually say it's the result of “fishing” activities. Even though he is usually detained for some days at Fuchu prison, lack of evidence and a subtle pressure from some layers have prevented any criminal charges to stick on him.

A devout believer of old Shinto religion, he is fond of naming his vessels in honor of gods related to fortune or the sea.
