Pearl and Marina

Pearl (Japanese: ヒメ, Hepburn: Hime) and Marina (Japanese: マリネ, Hepburn: Marine) are a duo of characters from the Splatoon video game series. They were first introduced in Splatoon 2 (2017) as members of a pop music act known as Off the Hook (Japanese: テンタクルズ, Hepburn: Tentakuruzu; lit. "Tentacles"), who perform a variety of songs in the game's hub world. The characters also regularly communicate information regarding stage availability to players of Splatoon 2 through an in-universe news broadcast. Pearl and Marina make appearances in the downloadable content (DLC) expansion packs Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion and Splatoon 3: Side Order as prominent protagonists.

Pearl and Marina have together received a generally positive reception, some critics identifying them as key elements of Splatoon 2 which drew significant fan interest. Marina in particular was noted as being a favorite among players, particularly during in-game Splatfests.
