MySims Property Bible[]
This sushi master is known the world over for his dedication to turning raw fish, seaweed, and rice into edible art. Despite his success, his greatest desire is to see his son follow in his footsteps. Unfortunately, Jimmy is allergic to fish and deathly afraid of knives. Still, dad holds out hope that the kid will return one day to take his place at the master’s side.
Appearance[]
Chef Watanabe has tan skin, short black hair, a wide, slight smile, and black, scalene triangle-shaped eyebrows with two slits on the outer end of each brow. He has pink circular blush and wrinkles on his forehead, glabella, chin, and around his mouth and eyes. His eyes are small, upside-down black triangles. Because of his crow's feet, his eyes almost look like two fish facing each other. He wears a blue jinbei with a white trim and fish scale details, a white waist apron with a profile of a red pufferfish, a sushi and rice-shaped hat which he claims is made from 15 pounds of real sashimi with a black chin-strap, and geta sandals.
