One of the most unusual friendships on earth is between a scuba diver and a massive fish.

For over twenty five years, a Japanese diver named Hiroyuki Arakawa has been visiting an underwater shrine. Whenever he dives down, he strikes a metal bell with a hammer to announce his arrival.

Within moments, a giant Asian sheepshead wrasse named Yoriko swims right up to him. Years ago, Hiroyuki found the fish starving and exhausted. He hand fed her for months until she fully recovered.

Since then, they have shared an incredible bond. Every time they meet at the shrine, Hiroyuki removes his breathing regulator and gives his underwater best friend a kiss directly on the forehead.
