🐧 Introduction to the Baikal Seal Naming Event

The video begins with a warm introduction by the hosts, 'Penpen' from the PR team and 'Amama,' the caretaker of the Baikal seals. They present the main star of the event, a Baikal seal pup, and announce that due to COVID-19, they will be wearing masks. The event's purpose is to reveal the chosen name for the Baikal seal pup, born on February 22, 2020, to parents 'Unariko' and 'Kucha.' The pup was initially white and fluffy but turned black as it matured. From April 4 to April 18, name suggestions were collected, including the first-ever online submissions. The event received a staggering 7,090 submissions, significantly more than usual. A ranking of the top 10 to top 4 most popular names will be revealed, along with the caretaker's top 3 picks.

🔝 Revealing the Top Names for the Seal Pup

In this section, the hosts delve into the top 10 names submitted by the audience, starting from the top 4. They discuss how the name 'Penpen' became popular due to its association with the Twitter account of the PR host. Other popular names include 'Maruchan' and 'Rainy,' reflecting the pup's birth date of 02/22/2020. They also clarify that the final name will not necessarily be the most voted one, as the caretakers also reviewed and ranked the names. Both the audience's top 3 and the caretakers' top 3 will be revealed simultaneously.

📞 Unveiling the Chosen Name

The hosts build anticipation by calling 'Mr. Otter,' a familiar figure among the audience, to reveal the seal pup's name. After a brief introduction, Mr. Otter directs them to a brown envelope in the adjacent room. The host, Amama, opens the envelope, finding a well-protected piece of paper inside. The suspense culminates in the official announcement: the pup's name is 'Nico-kun.' The name was submitted by 219 people, five of whom will receive a plush seal toy as a prize. Nico-kun, now weaned off 'kibinago,' is treated to shishamo, showcasing his growing appetite and maturity.

📏 Nico-kun's Growth and Final Q&A

The final segment focuses on Nico-kun's development and a Q&A session with the audience. Nico-kun currently weighs 12.555 kg and is about 70 cm long. Despite his growing weight, he's still relatively small and has retained his distinctive 'maro' eyebrows, a feature present since birth. The name 'Nico-kun' was chosen because of the number 2 appearing five times in his birth date (02/22/2020) and its association with bringing smiles ('nico' means smile in Japanese). The audience is also treated to a look at Nico-kun's impressive teeth and his sleep schedule, with him usually settling down around 7 PM.
