== Recurring Cast ==
Name 	Art	Description
Evan 	 	A 14 year old Inkling Boy from the unknown. While originally an outcast, he is befriended by a girl named Karma. Before the draft, he helped stop the Octarians which helped him grow his skills and so by the time the draft finally came around, he was one of the best.
He's quiet but pretty laid back.
Karma 	 	A 14 Year old Inkling Girl from Inkopolis. She struggled with making friends before joining the league, however, she was considered a hidden gem as she was one of the best participants in the draft.
Originally she uses a Slosher but moves to using a charger to have tactical advantages in battle.
She's energetic and hyper active but really nice.
Iris 	 	Considerably the best in the league. She uses the rare double splatter and is easily the best on her team. She's a lot less cocky compared to her younger brother but still views the rest of her team as fodder. However, she and Evan have mutual respect for each other.
Leo/Xeo 	 	Iris' younger brother. He antagonizes Evan a lot (Both before and after he joins their team) and has always never cared about his team (Outside of his sister). He has hundreds of adoring fans but by the time Evan and Karma join, his rank lowers and he's usually the forgotten member of the team. He's cocky and loudmouthed and annoys literally everyone on his team. His weapon of choice is a splat roller.
Captain Cuttle Fish	 	A slightly perverted old man who warned of an upcoming attack from the Octorians. He gave the directions to Evan during the surprise attacks on the Octorians.
Calie & Marie 	 	AKA, the Squid Sisters. They are famous all over the world for their music and are especially popular in the area. They both play a part in the first Season but are reduced to announcers for the Splatfests. However, Callie and Marie both do the narration for the "Previously on" segments.
In the newer series, they are replaced by Pearl and Marina, two new characters.
Candy 	 	
 	 	
== Soundtrack Style ==
The Soundtrack is mostly retained from the original game from 2015 [And eventually the 2017 sequel].
However, the style of the soundtrack would be similar to Jet Set Radio and Sonic Rush.
== Video Game Adaptions ==
Toei approached Vision studios to make a game based off of the final arc of Splatoon in late 2015. The game was released on December 9th 2016 as Splatoon: Winner Takes All to mixed to positive reviews. Vision stated later that they are thinking of continuing the story in a bunch of video game sequels.
