Delphin
Delphin is your childhood friend, a surfer fiercely loyal and passionate about the ocean. He gives you a free Novice Rod and asks you to catch 3 fish to start the profession. He can often be found outside lifting weights or inside at the observatory. His residence is directly across from the store (accessible at 3+ hearts). His favorite gift is Light Blue Hydrangea. He likes Dragon Fruit, Grilled Chicken Wings, Mirage Sunflower, Plain Noodles, Red Grape Jam, and Veggie Noodles. He dislikes Boxfish, Clownfish, and Stir-Fried Peanuts. He hates Glowing Shell and Red Beaded Starfish.
Note: Delphin was referred to as "Francis" in some pre-release materials. The finalized English name is Delphin.
