Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Meet Idol and Da Birb is the first chapter of the book KotoIdol, written from the perspective of Idol. It begins the story with an overview of Idol's inner world and the arrival of Kotori Minami.

## Summary

The chapter begins with a description of Idol's morning routine on a school day, and a look at his thoughts and opinions about himself and his surroundings. When he arrives at the classroom, the teacher says that there will be a new student arriving. Soon after that, Kotori Minami arrives as a transfer student from Japan, and sits next to Idol as it is the only empty seat in the classroom. The two have a conversation until the class ends, and Idol goes to FLEX class. When he sits at his table, Kotori sits down next to him again, as it is revealed that the two share the same class once again. Kotori, Idol and his friends have another conversation until the class ends, and Idol goes to have lunch, only to see that he shares lunchtime with Kotori again. The two have yet another conversation, but this time, the topic shifts to relationships and Idol ends up having Kotori's number. The two characters meet for the fourth time on the bus home, with Kotori taking the seat next to Idol yet again. It is now seeable that Kotori has signs of attraction to Idol. The two get off at the same stop, and the chapter ends.

Gami Riviera

Gamaliel "Gami" Riviera (or Rivera) is an author living in Atlanta, Georgia. He is of Puerto Rican descent. He is the author of the book KotoIdol, in which he represents himself as the character Idol.

## Trivia

Riviera calls himself by the name of his currently only book, KotoIdol online.

Riviera also refers to himself as "GanyusIdol" as referenced by his Twitter handle, hinting to his possible romantic interest towards Ganyu, a character from Genshin Impact. This hints at the existence of a second book titled GanyusIdol by Riviera, about a love story between Idol and Ganyu.

In an interview, Riviera was asked if he'd write a second book about Ganyu, but he replied that with his weak attachment to Ganyu, it would be very short as his real attachment was towards Kotori Minami, though he would try to write it. This makes "GanyusIdol"s existence plausible, perhaps even under works, but after the release of the cult classic KotoIdol, GanyusIdol will perhaps remain unreleased for the foreseeable future.

*Idol: "You know Kotori, 8 years ago, I never thought I would be getting married to you. But I am so glad that I am. I would rather be nowhere but here, and honestly, I don't know where I would be if not here."*

*Kotori: "Same with me. I’m so glad I’m marrying you."*

*Idol: "I love you Kotori."*

*Kotori: "I love you too Idol."*
The Missing Pages

The Missing Pages (or The Director's Cut) is a term coined for the scrapped additional chapters for KotoIdol.

The author, Gami Riviera is supposed to have posession of The Missing Pages under the name "The Director's Cut", which is supposedly obtainable for MX$50.

## Community-made continuation

With KotoIdol hypothetiically having at least 23 chapters, the community has taken on the goal of continuing KotoIdol to the 23rd chapter which will hypotetically be the final chapter, after the purchase attempts of The Director's Cut falling into deaf ears as Riviera has not responded to the purchase offers.

## Basic Info

The **razorback sucker** (*Xyrauchen texanus*) is a suckerfish found in rivers and lakes in the southwestern United States. It can grow to 91 cm (3 ft) in length and is recognisable by the keel between its head and dorsal fin. It used to inhabit much of the Colorado River Basin but commercial fishing, river damming, habitat loss, and predation by nonnative fishes have caused great declines in populations. It is now restricted to the Colorado River upstream of the Grand Canyon and to four reservoirs, Lake Mead, Lake Mohave, Lake Havasu, and Lake Powell.

It usually moves from deep water to suitable spawning grounds to breed, and research into its habits and breeding locations is ongoing. It has been a federally protected fish since 1991 and is rated as "critically endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. There are some signs of recovery, with fish being observed below the Grand Canyon in 2012 and 2013

This species can reach at least 33.4 cm (1.1 ft) in standard length and 607.3 g (1.34 lb) in weight. It is typically yellowish-brown with blackish-brown speckles ("leopard"), but there are also bright yellow ("golden") individuals, which are particularly prized in Korea and selectively bred in captivity.

It is a commercially important fish, but has declined due to overfishing and habitat loss. It is farmed; typically using pure specimens, but sometimes involving hybrids with the faster-growing mandarin fish (*Siniperca chuatsi*). Danyang County, North Chungcheong Province organizes a fishing festival for golden mandarin fish every April.
Northern Pike

Esox lucius

## Basic Info

The **northern pike** (*Esox lucius*) is a species of carnivorous fish of the genus *Esox* (the pikes). They are typical of brackish and fresh waters of the Northern Hemisphere (*i.e.* holarctic in distribution). They are known simply as a **pike** in Britain, Ireland, and most of Eastern Europe, Canada and the United States.

Pike can grow to a relatively large size: the average length is about 40–55 cm (16–22 in), with maximum recorded lengths of up to 150 cm (59 in) and published weights of 28.4 kg (63 lb). The IGFA currently recognizes a 25 kg (55 lb) pike caught by Lothar Louis on Greffern Lake, Germany, on 16 October 1986, as the all-tackle world-record northern pike. Northern pike grow to larger sizes in Eurasia than in North America, and typically grow to larger sizes in coastal than inland regions of Eurasia.
Black Triggerfish

Melichthys niger

## Basic Info

The **black triggerfish** or **black durgon** (*Melichthys niger*), called ***Humuhumu'ele'ele*** in Hawaiian, is a blimp-shaped triggerfish with bright white lines running along its dorsal and anal fins. From distance, it appears to be completely black. However, upon closer inspection with good lighting, one can see that it is actually mottled dark-blue/green coloration often with orange toward the front of the head. Black durgons are capable of changing color based on their surroundings.

These are not to be confused with their cousins, the Indian triggerfish or black-finned triggerfish (*Melichthys indicus*), which are often mistaken as being black triggerfish within the aquarium trade. The Indian triggerfish has never been found near Hawaii, but bears a striking resemblance to the black triggerfish because of the similar shape and coloration.
Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Hey Kotori, I Guess That's It, is the only known chapter from The Missing Pages. It is thought to be the final chapter of KotoIdol. The character Ronnie McNutt was also supposed to make his appearance in this chapter. The community plans to extend the book from where it had left off in Chapter 20 to this chapter to properly end the book.

## Summary

The chapter is thought to be about Idol's suicide after he realizes all of the events were simply a dream and Kotori does not exist in real life, as the name of the chapter is a direct reference to Ronnie McNutt's famous catchphrase and the fact that the chapter is the final one in KotoIdol.
Goldring Surgeonfish

Ctenochaetus strigosus

## Basic Info

***Ctenochaetus strigosus***, known by the common names **kole tang** or **spotted surgeonfish** or **goldring surgeonfish** or **yellow-eyed tang**, is a marine reef tang in the fish family Acanthuridae which is endemic to Oceania. It grows to 5.7 inches (14.6 cm) in the wild. It has a brown color with light blue to yellow horizontal stripes over its body which change into spots towards the face. It also has a vividly yellow area surrounding the eye. In the aquarium trade it can be seen under a variety of common names, including yellow-eyed kole tang, striped bristletooth, and bristletooth tang.

This species is an herbivore, grazing algae on the shallow reef. It has also been commonly observed to clean algal growths from the shells of sea turtles. In the Ahihi-Kinau nature preserve area on Maui, Hawaii, aggregations of this fish have established "cleaning stations" where green sea turtles come to be groomed. This is a symbiotic relationship. The fish benefit by having access to an easy meal, while the turtles get groomed of the algae growths on their shells, which can increase drag in the water when growth becomes too dense.

The species is commonly offered for sale in the marine aquarium trade, where it is valued for its algae-grazing habit. It can be aggressive toward other surgeonfish and needs high amounts of water movement when kept in captivity, where a minimum of a 70-gallon aquarium is required.

Blue Gill

Blue Gill

## Basic Info

The **bluegill** (*Lepomis macrochirus*), sometimes referred to as "bream", "brim", "sunny", "copper nose" or "perch" as is common in Texas, is a species of freshwater fish of the family Centrarchidae (sunfish) from the order Perciformes, native to North America and commonly found in streams, rivers, lakes, ponds and wetlands east of the Rockies.

Bluegills can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) long and about 4+1⁄2 pounds (2.0 kg). While their color can vary from population to population, they typically have a very distinctive coloring, with deep blue and purple on the face and gill cover, dark olive-colored bands down the side, and a fiery orange to yellow belly. The fish are omnivorous and will eat anything they can fit in their mouth, but mostly feed on small aquatic insects and baitfish. The fish are important prey for bass, other larger sunfish, northern pike and muskellunge, walleye, trout, herons, kingfishers, snapping turtles and otters, and play a key role within the food chain of its freshwater ecosystem.

A popular panfish among anglers, bluegill usually hide around and inside old tree stumps in swamps and other underwater structures, and can live in either deep or very shallow water. Bluegills also like to find shelter among aquatic plants and in the shade of trees along banks, and will often move from one to the other depending on the time of day or season.
California Sheephead

Semicossyphus pulcher

## Basic Info

The **California sheephead** (*Semicossyphus pulcher*) is a species of wrasse native to the eastern Pacific Ocean. Its range is from Monterey Bay, California, to the Gulf of California, Mexico. It can live for up to 20 years in favorable conditions and can reach a size of up to 91 cm (3 ft) and a weight of 16 kg (35 lb). It is carnivorous, living in rocky reef and kelp bed habitats, feeding primarily on sea urchins, molluscs, and crustaceans.

All California sheephead are born female and morph into their male form at various stages in their lifecycle, determined by environmental conditions and pressures. Because of this, they are considered to be protogynous hermaphrodites which have planktonic larvae. Their coral and kelp-heavy habitat provides protection from predators, which is important as this species is diurnal, foraging during the day and seeking shelter at night.

The California sheephead is considered vulnerable due to high fishing rates off of the coast of southern California. Since fisheries tend to remove the largest fish, they end up removing the males. This skews the male-to-female ratio and affects the fishes' lifecycle, which can negatively affect populations.
Apache Trout

Oncorhynchus apache

## Basic Info

The Apache trout measures in length from 6 to 24 in (15–61 cm), and weighs between 0.4 to 6 lb (0.2–2.7 kg).[*citation needed*] It rarely exceeds 10 in (25 cm), but can reach up to 16 in (40 cm) in its native, headwater streams. Apache trout are a yellowish-gold color with a golden belly and have medium-sized dark spots that are evenly spaced and that may extend below the lateral line and onto the dorsal and tail fins. The top of its head and back are dark olive in color, and it has the appearance of having a black stripe/mask through each of its eyes, due to two small black dots on either side of the pupil. There can be a throat mark below the lower jaw, ranging in color from yellow to gold.
Chinook Salmon

Oncorhynchus tshawytscha

## Basic Info

The **Chinook salmon** /ʃɪˈnʊk/ (*Oncorhynchus tshawytscha*) is the largest and most valuable species of Pacific salmon in North America, as well as the largest in the genus *Oncorhynchus*.  Its common name is derived from the Chinookan peoples. Other vernacular names for the species include **king salmon**, **Quinnat salmon**, **Tsumen**, **spring salmon**, **chrome hog**, **Blackmouth**, and **Tyee salmon**. The scientific species name is based on the Russian common name *chavycha* (чавыча).

Chinook are anadromous fish native to the North Pacific Ocean and the river systems of western North America, ranging from California to Alaska, as well as Asian rivers ranging from northern Japan to the Palyavaam River in the Arctic northeast Siberia. They have been introduced to other parts of the world, including New Zealand, thriving in Lake Michigan Great Lakes of North America and Michigan's western rivers, and Patagonia. A large Chinook is a prized and sought-after catch for a sporting angler. The flesh of the salmon is also highly valued for its dietary nutritional content, which includes high levels of important omega-3 fatty acids. Some populations are endangered; however, many are healthy. The Chinook salmon has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List. According to NOAA the Chinook salmon population along the California coast is declining, from factors such as overfishing, loss of freshwater and estuarine habitat, hydropower development, poor ocean conditions, and hatchery practices.
Roundtailed Paradise Fish

Roundtailed Paradise Fish

## Basic Info

The **round-tailed paradise fish** (*Macropodus ocellatus*) is a species of gourami native to eastern Asia, where it is found in Korea and China. It is also found in Japan but it is believed that they were introduced from Korea in the 1910s. It is also known to occur in the Amur Basin of Russia, but that is believed to be due to introductions. It inhabits many kinds of freshwater habitats within its range. This species is reported to be well adapted to cold weather during winter in its relatively northern range, even to the point of remaining active when their body of water is covered with ice. This species grows to a standard length of 6.2 cm (2.4 in), and can be found in the aquarium trade.
Silver Pomfret

Pampus argenteus

## Basic Info

**Silver pomfret** or **white pomfret** (*Pampus argenteus*) is a species of butterfish that lives in the Indo-West Pacific, spanning the coastal waters of the Middle East, Eastern Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. The species now also occurs in the Mediterranean, having colonized it as part of Lessepsian migration through the Suez Canal. Fish of this family are characterized by their flat bodies, forked tail fins, and long pectoral fins.

Silver pomfrets are usually silver/white in color, with few small scales. They can grow up to a range of 4–6 kg (8–13 lb). However, due to overfishing, specimens weighing less than 1 kg (2 lb) are more commonly seen.

The silver pompano should not be mistaken for the Florida pompano (*Trachinotus carolinus*), which is a jackfish found off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico, and neither should be confused with true pomfrets, which are of the family Bramidae.
Tench

Tinca tinca

## Basic Info

The **tench** or **doctor fish** (*Tinca tinca*) is a fresh- and brackish-water fish of the order Cypriniformes found throughout Eurasia from Western Europe including the British Isles east into Asia as far as the Ob and Yenisei Rivers. It is also found in Lake Baikal.[*citation needed*] It normally inhabits slow-moving freshwater habitats, particularly lakes and lowland rivers.
Pacific Barracuda

Sphyraena argentea

## Basic Info

***Sphyraena argentea*** (also known as **Pacific barracuda**, **California barracuda** and **silver barracuda**) is a predatory fish found in the northeast Pacific Ocean. They range from Cabo San Lucas, Baja California to Washington. However, they are not common north of Point Conception in Santa Barbara County, California. They can reach a length of about 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) and a weight of about 6.8 kilograms (15 lb). California barracuda are very popular sport fish in Southern California.

*S. argentea* is a thin barracuda of the family Sphyraenidae of the order Perciformes (perch-likes).
Roughscale Sole

Clidoderma asperrimum

## Basic Info

The **roughscale sole** (*Clidoderma asperrimum*) is an edible flatfish of the family Pleuronectidae. It is a demersal fish that lives on sandy, muddy bottoms at depths from 15 to 1,900 metres (49 to 6,234 ft), though it is most commonly found at depths of between 400 and 600 metres (1,300 and 2,000 ft). It can reach 62 centimetres (24 in) in length and can weigh up to 4.4 kilograms (9.7 lb). Its native habitat is the northern Pacific, from the coasts of China and Japan, across the Bering Sea to Alaska, Canada and the Californian coast of America.
Skygager

Erythroculter hypselonotus

## Basic Info

***Erythroculter hypselonotus*** is a species of cyprinid fish, the sole member of the genus ***Erythroculter***. This species was originally described as *Culter erythropterus*. The name is derived from the Greek word *erythros*, meaning "red", and the Latin word *culter*, meaning "knife".
Leopard Shark

Triakis semifasciata

## Basic Info

The **leopard shark** (*Triakis semifasciata*) is a species of houndshark, in the family Triakidae. It is found along the Pacific coast of North America, from the U.S. state of Oregon to Mazatlán in Mexico. Typically measuring 1.2–1.5 m (3.9–4.9 ft) long, this slender-bodied shark is immediately identifiable by the striking pattern of black saddle-like markings and large spots over its back, from which it derives its common name. Large schools of leopard sharks are a common sight in bays and estuaries, swimming over sandy or muddy flats or rock-strewn areas near kelp beds and reefs. They are most common near the coast, in water less than 4 m (13 ft) deep.

Active-swimming predators, groups of leopard sharks often follow the tide onto intertidal mudflats to forage for food, mainly clams, spoon worms, crabs, shrimp, bony fish, and fish eggs. Most leopard sharks tend to remain within a particular area rather than undertaking long movements elsewhere, which has led to genetic divergence between populations of sharks living in different regions. This species is aplacental viviparous, meaning that the young hatch inside the uterus and are nourished by yolk. From March to June, the female gives birth to as many as 37 young after a gestation period of 10–12 months. It is relatively slow-growing and takes many years to mature.

Harmless to humans, the leopard shark is caught by commercial and recreational fisheries for food and the aquarium trade. This species is mostly fished in the waters off California where, after a period of population decline in the 1980s, new fishing regulations in the early 1990s reduced harvesting to sustainable levels. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed this species as of Least Concern, while noting that local stocks may easily become overfished because of the shark's slow growth and limited migratory habits.
Lake Chub

Couesius plumbeus

## Basic Info

The **lake chub** (*Couesius plumbeus*) is a freshwater cyprinid fish found in Canada and in parts of the United States. Of all North American minnows, it is the one with the northernmost distribution. Its genus, ***Couesius*** is considered monotypic today. The genus was named after Elliott Coues, who collected the holotype specimen.
Rock Sole

Lepidopsetta bilineata

## Basic Info

The **rock sole** (*Lepidopsetta bilineata*), also known as the **Pacific rock sole** or **Southern rock sole** is a flatfish of the family Pleuronectidae. It is a demersal fish that lives on sand and gravel bottoms at depths of up to 575 metres (1,886 ft), though it is most commonly found between 0 and 183 metres (0 and 600 ft). Its native habitat is the temperate waters of the northern Pacific, from Baja California to Alaska, the Aleutian Islands and southeastern parts of the Bering Sea. It grows up to 60 centimetres (24 in) in length and can weigh up to 1.8 kilograms (4.0 lb), and has a maximum recorded lifespan of 22 years.
Garibaldi Fish

Hypsypops rubicundus

## Basic Info

The **Garibaldi**, known historically also as the **Catalina goldfish** and **marine goldfish** and now commonly as the **Garibaldi damselfish** (*Hypsypops rubicundus*) is a species of bright orange fish in the damselfish family. It occurs in the subtropical northeastern part of the Pacific Ocean. The English name, Garibaldi, is based on an Italian surname and is a reference to the Italian general and political figure Giuseppe Garibaldi, whose followers often wore a characteristic scarlet or red shirt. As is the case in all damselfish, male Garibaldis aggressively defend the nest site after the female lays eggs.
Silver Carp

Hypophthalmichthys molitrix

## Basic Info

The **silver carp** (*Hypophthalmichthys molitrix*) is a species of freshwater cyprinid fish, a variety of Asian carp native to China and eastern Siberia, from the Amur River drainage in the north to the Xi Jiang River drainage in the south. Although a threatened species in its natural habitat, it has long been cultivated in China. By weight, more silver carp are produced worldwide in aquaculture than any other species of fish except for the grass carp. Silver carp are usually farmed in polyculture with other Asian carp, or sometimes with catla or other fish species.

The species has also been introduced, or spread by connected waterways, to at least 88 countries around the world. The reason for importation was generally for use in aquaculture, but enhancement of wild fisheries and water quality control have also been intended on occasion. In some of these places, the species is considered invasive.

The silver carp reaches a typical length of 60–100 cm (24–39 in) with a maximum length of 140 cm (55 in) and weight of 50 kg (110 lb).
Prickly Sculpin

Cottus asper

## Basic Info

***Cottus asper*** is a species of fish in the sculpin family known by the common name **prickly sculpin**. It is native to the river drainages of the Pacific Slope of North America from Seward, Alaska south to the Ventura River of Southern California. It extends east of the Continental Divide in the Peace River of British Columbia. It has also been introduced to several reservoirs in Southern California.
Bonytail Chub

Gila elegans

## Basic Info

The **bonytail chub** or **bonytail** (*Gila elegans*) is a cyprinid freshwater fish native to the Colorado River basin of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming in the southwestern United States; it has been extirpated from the part of the basin in Mexico. It was once abundant and widespread in the basin, its numbers and range have declined to the point where it has been listed as endangered since 1980 (ESA) and 1986 (IUCN), a fate shared by the other large Colorado basin endemic fish species like the Colorado pikeminnow, humpback chub, and razorback sucker. It is now the rarest of the endemic big-river fishes of the Colorado River. There are 20 species in the genus *Gila*, seven of which are found in Arizona.
Opah

Lampris guttatus

## Basic Info

**Opahs**, also commonly known as **moonfish**, **sunfish** (not to be confused with Molidae), **kingfish**, **redfin ocean pan** are large, colorful, deep-bodied pelagic lampriform fishes comprising the small family **Lampridae** (also spelled **Lamprididae**).

The family comprises two genera: *Lampris* (from the Ancient Greek *λαμπρός* : lamprós, "brilliant" or "clear") and the monotypic *Megalampris* (known only from fossil remains). The extinct family, Turkmenidae, from the Paleogene of Central Asia, is closely related, though much smaller.

In 2015, *Lampris guttatus* was discovered to have near-whole-body endothermy in which the entire core of the body is maintained at around 5 °C above the surrounding water. This is unique among fish as most fish are entirely cold blooded or are capable of warming only some parts of their bodies.
Walleye

Sander vitreus

## Basic Info

The **walleye** (*Sander vitreus*, synonym *Stizostedion vitreum*), also called the **yellow pike** or **yellow pickerel**, is a freshwater perciform fish native to most of Canada and to the Northern United States. It is a North American close relative of the European zander, also known as the pikeperch. The walleye is sometimes called the **yellow walleye** to distinguish it from the blue walleye, which is a subspecies that was once found in the southern Ontario and Quebec regions, but is now presumed extinct. However, recent genetic analysis of a preserved (frozen) 'blue walleye' sample suggests that the blue and yellow walleye were simply phenotypes within the same species and do not merit separate taxonomic classification.

In parts of its range in English-speaking Canada, the walleye is known as a **pickerel**, though the fish is not related to the true pickerels, which are a member of the family Esocidae.

Walleyes show a fair amount of variation across watersheds. In general, fish within a watershed are quite similar and are genetically distinct from those of nearby watersheds. The species has been artificially propagated for over a century and has been planted on top of existing populations or introduced into waters naturally devoid of the species, sometimes reducing the overall genetic distinctiveness of populations.
Olympic Mubminnow

Novumbra hubbsi

## Basic Info

The **Olympic mudminnow** (*Novumbra hubbsi*) is a fish native to the western lowlands of Washington: the Chehalis River basin, Deschutes River basin, and some Olympic Peninsula basins. It grows to 8 cm (about 3 in) in length, and is Washington's only known endemic freshwater fish species. Although they strongly resemble killifish, mudminnows are more closely related to pike and muskellunge.

The Olympic mudminnow is the only living species in the genus *Novumbra*, and one of eight living species worldwide in the paraphyletic family Umbridae. It predominantly resides in darkly stained tannic waters in the lower levels of lentic ecosystems, although may be found in clearwater swamps, and feeds on fish larvae, eggs, but more often small invertebrates. It prefers areas with mudbeds and dense vegetation, and has a remarkable tolerance for low oxygen levels. The Olympic mudminnow is listed as a sensitive species by the state of Washington. Although many populations are found, the range is limited, and suitable habitat is easily lost to development.

Spawning occurs after overwintering with a short photoperiod and temperatures under 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Once temperatures are in the high 50's, fish will start producing gametes. Females will become noticeably fatter, while males will darken and begin to move into their spawning territories. Spawning takes place over fine leaved plants (submerged terrestrial moss and water wisteria have both been documented in the lab and in the wild) in which the male entices the female to spawn. Spawning happens multiple times as the female only releases one or two eggs for each copulation. Once finished resealing eggs, the female is chased off the territory by the male. After around 10 days, the fry hatch and remain glued to their natal plant until absorbing their yolk sac; after 7 days they become free swimming. The male shows no parental care aside from chasing off any intruders in the territory.

Where their ranges overlap, the spawning coloration of the three-spined stickleback is black, similarly to male Olympic mudminnows. This causes rivalry between the males of the two species.
Korean Piscivorous

Opsariichthys bidens
