Drag to swim, eat food to grow, dodge predators and reach Toyama Bay in winter. The growth names progress through Mojako → Kozukura → Fukuragi → Gando → Buri. Double-tap on a phone to dash.

Play and verified controls

Official free browser game. Released and updated October 27, 2026; estimated three-minute session. Toyama Bay lies on Japan's Sea of Japan coast. Kanburi is the Japanese term for winter yellowtail.

Situation Developer's instruction
Swim on mobile Touch and move your finger
Dash on mobile Double-tap
Swim on PC Drag the mouse
Grow Eat food and avoid natural enemies
Destination Reach winter Toyama Bay and leave a fish print

From start to finish

  1. Drag slowly at first to learn how the fish follows your input.
  2. While small, check where food and predators are. Leave room to turn instead of charging toward food through danger.
  3. Feed and watch the labels change: Mojako → Kozukura → Fukuragi → Gando → Buri. Exact growth thresholds are not provided.
  4. On mobile, try the documented double-tap dash to escape danger. Its duration and cooldown have not been measured.
  5. Continue toward Toyama Bay in winter. The creator describes leaving a fish-print record of the journey.

Rankings and common questions

On difficulty 無難 (roughly “normal”), 生きた証ランキング compares points, while 大物ランキング compares the fish's length at the goal. To compete for size, you still have to survive to the finish. The scoring formula and food values are unknown.

Fish not moving on mobile? Touch and drag rather than tapping once. Can PC players dash? Only mouse dragging is explicitly documented for PC. Does becoming Buri instantly win? The stated destination is winter Toyama Bay; a finish on name change alone is unverified. Guaranteed top score? No tested predator pattern, food map or score formula is available.

Bottom line: Grow and survive all the way to the bay. Even a fish's career ladder ends with a length measurement.
