Modern Use
Catfish are depicted on pictures of emergency earthquake preparedness activities in Japan. For example, the Earthquake Early Warning (Japan) logo by the Japan Meteorological Agency utilizes pictures of the catfish on devices capable of issuing an early warning. Perhaps somewhat contradictarily, an episode of Pokémon featuring a catfish-type monster based on the namazu was banned when it was scheduled to air too soon after a quake.
