Cool card capper! Where is it from? Commerson's dolphins are really striking, we saw them when we were on a research cruise.
Don't have any of my own photos handy but I grabbed a random Google image. Really easy to spot.

Thanks!
This character is from the series *Kemono Friends*.
It’s well known that this anime premiered in the spring of 2017 and became a huge sensation.
I watched it myself and became completely hooked on the series.
However, this “Commerson’s Dolphin” didn’t exist when the anime was released; it appeared about a year later, in 2018.
This card protector (more accurately, an acrylic keychain) was released in September 2025.
I’m very envious that you were able to see a wild Commerson’s Dolphin.
In Japan, it’s quite rare to see wild dolphins, but they are kept at most aquariums of a certain size.
However, most of the dolphins kept in Japan are “bottlenose dolphins” or “common dolphins,” and Commerson’s dolphins can only be seen at two locations: the aquarium in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, and the aquarium in Toba City, Mie Prefecture.
I haven’t seen one yet, so I’d love to see one someday.
