Tsuritama Twitter Q&A
There was a Q&A session going on at Twitter not long ago to commemorate the finale. The result was a whole lot of random trivia. Some informative and some very, very random. Not sure if I missed any, though I think I skipped a minor one or two. My question about Keito's previous job never got answered. ;__;
Trivia time:
- Ayumi is 33 years old. Misaki 26. Kate 67.
- Natsuki and Erika are relatives.
- Akira's superior's codename is George Ace. Real name unknown.
- Q: What is inside Akira's turban? There was a handgun the last time. A: Love, courage, ham and a spoon.
- Yuki is fluent in French and English.
- Akira and Tapioca first met when they were assigned as partners by DUCK.
- The fish tank in Yuki's room belonged to the previous owner.
- Natsuki got into fishing at the age of 3.
- Tapioca and Boss's (the cat) relationship is more of them thinking that the other looks tasty. (Not so sure if I got this right)
- Akira is single.
- Sakura is in 4th year.

- Natsuki's eyesight problem is probably hereditary.
- The flowers Kate asks Haru to think of as her are Gerberas/African daisies.

- Haru, Yuki and Natsuki use the bathtub. Natsuki runs a lot so he bathes a few times a day. He occasionally uses the shower. Akira showers.
