History
In 2077, Saburo Arasaka and his daughter Hanako traveled from Japan to Night City aboard the Kujira. Saburo intended to meet with his son, Yorinobu, to have him return the stolen Relic, while Hanako was scheduled to attend the Aratama Matsuri festival in Japantown as the guest of honor. During their five day voyage, the Kujira made a brief stop on an atoll belonging to Militech. Saburo was impressed by Militech's work on it, however, what interested him was found in its depths: the many wrecks of Imperial Japanese ships and aircraft that littered the seabed, the final graves of so many of Saburo's former compatriots. Saburo briefly considered "paying tribute" to Militech, and by extension the NUSA, with "five shots" for every wreck on the seabed, but decided against it due to the risk of civilian casualties within the Militech port itself. Soon after they continued their cruise.

The Arasaka Corporation kept the presence of the two VIPs a close secret until after the vessel arrived at its destination. In fact, the public was unaware Saburo was anywhere near Night City until his sudden death at Konpeki Plaza was announced on news broadcasts. After the incident, the Kujira stayed moored in the bay for the duration of Hanako's visit.

Prior to Saburo's death, Info Flash host Ruth Dzeng joked about the purpose of the Kujira in Night City, saying that Arasaka moved the ship there because "the corporation figured out it wasn't safe in Japanese waters, as they thought some local fishermen might harpoon it for scientific research," referring to the supercarrier's name which means "whale" when translated to English.
