In Real Life
Japanese Cormorants are birds that live on the Pacific coast of Asia, breeding on the corresponding coasts of Russia, North and South Korea, China, Taiwan and Japan. They are seabirds with long necks and bills, growing to be at about 90 cm in length and with a maximum wingspan of 130 cm. The black feathers gives them a sinister look, but they also have iridescent green and bronze feathers and thin white feathers that extend out from their head and neck.
Comorants nest in groups on rocky coastlines, rarely living inland. Carnivores, their diets are mainly comprised of fish, which they hunt by diving underwater. Humans have historically used these birds, with fishermen training those seabirds to catch fish for them. By tying a rope to the base of the neck, loose enough so only small fish can pass through, the fisherman waits until the bird captures a large fish and removes it from their throat, although this method is not as common today because more efficient techniques exist.
Trivia
Cormorant fishing can still be seen in Gifu City, in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Fisherman near the Nagara River have been using this traditional fishing method called "ukai" for over 1300 years.
