Squid Sisters

About

The Squid Sisters are a female character duo named "Callie" and Marie" (a pun on calimari, a squid based dish) who appear in the video game Splatoon. The sisters serve as the announcers for in-game related news such as events and new downloadable content. They are known for their catchphrase "Stay Fresh."

Origin

The Squid Sisters first appeared in the video game Splatoon upon its original release in May 2015. The sisters differ in appearance from the normal game characters, called Inklings, with different clothing and beauty marks. They serve as the hosts for the game through their in-game show, the Inkopolis News Program, as well as the regularly held multiplayer Splatfest tournament events. They are also idol singers, and their vocals are present on some pieces of the soundtrack, including the song in the video below. Their catchphrase, "Stay fresh!", is used at the end of their announcements. Despite their name, the Squid Sisters are actually cousins.
