Japanese Hirooka Arakawa is 79 years old, but he still works as a diver in an underwater park off the coast of the Japanese city of Tateyama.
Despite his venerable age, Hirooki every day descends under the water to his friend - a fish.
The unusual friendship between man and fish began 25 years ago when Hirooki found fish at the gates of an underwater park.
She was very weak, could hardly move and could not get food for herself.
The Japanese took care of her - he fed her with crabs every day. After 10 days, the underwater dweller felt better, but the friendship has lasted for 25 years.
According to scientists, some species of fish can distinguish human faces, but this fact has not been scientifically proven. The fish that Hiruoki is friends with is the Asian Sheep-headed Wrasse.
This is a very peculiar creature and many would call him unattractive. The wrasse has several spherical outgrowths on the forehead and chin. But to the Japanese, his friend seems very sweet and likable.
He assures that close up the fish head is very similar to a human face. And if you get close, then you can recognize someone from your friends and acquaintances.
