The main protagonist of the series, Kawase is a young girl with a passion for fishing and also a penchant for going to weird places to test her athleticism and creativity. According to the English localization, she's also a travelling sushi chef gathering up ingredients.
* ChefOfIron: At least according to the American localization. Then again, when your ingredients happen to be sentient fish walking about on legs, chances are you'll need the skills to take them down.
