Killer whales

Kū

Since 2003, the aquarium kept a killer whale named Kū on loan from another aquarium, who lived at the aquarium until her death on.

Nami

In 2010, the aquarium acquired a killer whale named Nami, who was to live at the aquarium permanently and feature in its Orca Show. Unfortunately, Nami died shortly after her arrival and public debut at this aquarium, dying on.

Bingo and Stella

Plans made for January/February 2011 for the aquarium to receive two killer whales, a male and a female, Bingo and Stella, on five-year loan from Kamogawa Seaworld in Chiba Prefecture.
The two adult killer whales arrived on December 16, 2011 by ship from Kamogawa Sea World. Their daughter, Ran 2, arrived by truck the day before, on December 15, 2011. On November 13, 2012, Stella gave birth to a female calf, Lynn.
Bingo died on August 2, 2014, after suffering an illness. Stella is still alive today and currently lives at Port of Nagoya with her daughter Lynn and her grandson Earth.
