DJ Octavio and Craig Cuttlefish (Splatoon)

Cap'n Cuttlefish is (25) years old and in his young stage is a decorated hero who fought in the Great Turf War between the Inklings and Octarians as the leader of the Squidbeak Splatoon. He was originally a good friend of DJ Octavio but became his nemesis due to the Great Turf War. After winning the war, he began watching over the Octarians in Octo Valley, but failed to prevent them from stealing the Great Zapfish.

Cap'n Cuttlefish's favorite food, as pointed out both by himself and Agents 1 and 2, is botamochi (a type of traditional Japanese sweets) in the Japanese version and crabby cakes in the English version. A plate of botamochi is present in Cuttlefish Cabin in Octo Canyon, alluding to this. He is often distracted by his favorite food, giving DJ Octavio the chance to escape from his snow globe prison. In the Commonwealth English version of Splatoon, his favorite food is biscuits instead of crabby cakes, but in later games, it is consistently crabby cakes due to most differences between the two English versions being removed.

Cap'n Cuttlefish is fond of rapping, something made explicit during the Octo Expansion. Sometime after the events, during the Low Water Party, he and Pearl participated in a rap battle with language so vulgar it could not be put on the airwaves nor on paper. Cap'n Cuttle hails from Calamari County,[4] and around one hundred years before the events of Splatoon, he was a member of the Inkling military. He personally knew DJ Octavio, and the two of them were on good terms until the rise of the sea levels Session 5 of Marina's chat room, it is revealed that while he was still a second lieutenant, Cuttlefish battled Octavio during the siege of Arowana Castle. Thanks to Cuttlefish's efforts, he was subsequently promoted to the rank of captain and the Inklings eventually won the war.

DJ Octavio is the leader of the Octarians, he is (26) years old, he is in his somewhat young stage and the main antagonist and final boss of both modes, also appearing as the first boss of whom he has brainwashed. In.DJ Octavio is very boisterous, often shouting during dialogue and expressing his signature laugh, "GYAH HA HA!" He uses a lot of music terminology, such as saying he will turn Agent 3 into a radio edit during Enter the Octobot King!

DJ Octavio is arrogant and conceited, always speaking in rhymes and with a rapping style that reflects his pride as leader of the Octarians. He is dramatic, exaggerated, and very stubborn, convinced that he is always right and that his plans to dominate the Inklings cannot fail. Despite being resourceful and creative with his machines, his constant defeats make him an unintentionally comical character, as he never gives up and always comes back with new ideas, displaying a mix of charisma, persistence, and an overflowing ego, but he worries about his subjects a little.

His humanoid form, seen in a Sunken Scroll and an image in Marina's chat room, wears the same kabuto hat alongside what appears to be an outfit with sleeves resembling those on kimonos. In addition, the decorative rope around his torso suggests the outfit may be a formal montsuki. In this form, his teeth are the same as those of the playable Octolings, and two tentacles hang from under his kabuto, resembling his octopus form's arms and the Tentacurl hairstyle of playable Octolings. The kabuto also appears to create a shadow that obscures his eyes, although this may be stylistic, as most of the other characters' eyes in the photos taken from the era of the Great Turf War are obscured in the same way.

The figure on the right is wearing a military uniform that includes a peaked cap and a badge on the front. He wears a formal-style coat or jacket with several medals or badges on the chest, gloves, and black boots.

In his younger form, Captain Cuttlefish is a brave, energetic, and determined inkling, with a strong sense of duty and justice that drives him to protect his people. More serious and disciplined, he demonstrates courage and confidence on the battlefield, standing out as a natural leader. His youthful enthusiasm and mischief reflect the origins of the hero who would eventually become the beloved captain known to all.
