Hiroi Michiaki: This is the dragon from the [zodiac] year of the dragon. The koi, you know, wanted to be this. Heh heh heh. Do you get it?* I’ll explain. Heh heh heh. I wonder if you got about half of it. Heh heh heh.

*Hiroi-sensei is making a reference to the previous top in the collection, the “one-eyed koi,” which was about a koi trying to become a dragon.
