  • Most sirok,mert nem kellett volna szabadon engedni Willit végleg pár éve,amikor már emberekhez volt szokva,ki a felelös ezért?Mindenkit,aki felelös,ugyan erre a sorsra juttatnám,de a be folyó pénz az jó volt utána és nem kevés pénzröl beszlünk,nem birták volna ettetni és foglalkozni vele,nem akkart ő már ki menni a tengerre....

  • @slightlyLostPixie ooh god ... I've never been able to see him... I'm so sad 💔 as I read ur post :( I hope there'll be other orcas as friendly as him.... I miss him so so so Muchzz :(💔

  • @tingting77 I miss him a lot too. You never know how much something or someone can have an impact on you until they are gone. Because of him orcas are my favorite animals. I am happy that he died a free whale.

  • Love it!

    

  • he will be loved for ever and ever :'(

  • Keiko was the FIRST whale i saw in my life

    this song and keiko suite together

    Ily keiko, rest in peace <3

  • One of my most favorite childhood memories was when my dad took me to see Keiko in Oregon. I love orcas. It was Keiko that started my love for them and the ocean. I am sad that my long time favorite animal has died, but I am happy that he died a free whale.

  • damn it my spelling lol

  • he died so young.... i cried my eyes out i loved this whale still brings tears to my eyes LOVE YOU KIEKO <3 <3

  • whos keiko?

  • @iheartpurplex Watch Free Willy.

  • keiko is so beautiful and its sad how he never even spend time in his natural habitat. I LOVE YOU KEIKO! I LOVE KILLERWHALES

  • "The Titanic" (also known as "It Was Sad When That Great Ship Went Down" and "Titanic (Husbands and Wives)") is a folk song and children's song most known for being sung in the United States at summer camp. "The Titanic" is about the sinking of the RMS Titanic which sank on April 15, 1912 after striking an iceberg.

  • @chaosligerzero88 Acually, the song is called Hymn To The Sea, from the movie Titanic. I should know because I have seen it legit, 74 times. And I have the soundtrack(:

  • Keiko means 'Lucky one' in Japanese. And he died, after a three year petition he was released near norway into the wild after being taught how to catch fish. But because of his popularity they moved him somewhere not so popular. He died at 27.

  • what this song called anyone

  • esa no es vida... no a la domesticación de animales acuaticos!!!

  • it was so nice 

  • I am so disappointed l I die

    miss a lot: ' (

  • what happen to keiko anyways he was such a beautiful whale!

  • i cant belive people can dizlike somethin so beauitful and meaning full

  • Anyone know why they named it Keiko? I find it confusing since Keiko is a male, yet in Japan, Keiko is a females name. o-o

  • @bluemononokewolf keiko meanz Blessed child in japanese

  • @nezza98 I know what it means, it's what a lot of my Japanese friends actually call me, but the name Keiko is the female variation of the name...>.>;; So I'm just a tad bit confused on why they named a male whale Keiko, thats all..haha.

  • Keiko was in captivity since 79...he was very used to people. In fact, when he was released, he swam around looking for people and doing tricks, letting kids ride him; feed him. He was too old to be released. And it will be very rare to have an orca that friendly again. RIP <3

  • at 2:13...is that his coffin??? cuz its big enough

  • free willy will nvr ever be forgotten. even tho i didnt see him in person i felt when ever i watch those movies he waz trying to say something to me. call me a freak idc but i loved tht whale like it waz a human. R.I.P. keiko always be in my heart.

  • @HUsolider4life i agree..and your not a freak...i feel the same way x

  • best whale in the world

    we all loved you

    R.I.P.

    xx

  • @donutfag3 so rite i still cry when i watch tht movie.

  • People who read my previous comments search"rescue baby orca" .. and watch that.... And tell me would this Orca be better off in the ocean, Without captivity.

  • I am Kinda anti Captivity. but Most people don't understand the reason behind it... I have worked at aquariums and stuff.I know for a fact that 95% of the sea mammals brought in are in a critical situation, to hear people whine about captivity Almost angers me.. because Of how often they have come in and we have healed them and let them go to live another day. there are the few occasions where we can't let them back to the ocean because of permanent damage.

  • I'm anti cap - but his tank at oregon coast aquarium was very good. It had rubbing rocks, bubble jets for him to play with, A machime that made tides and waves in the tank to discourage him swimming in one direction the whole time and he was catching live fish.

    If seaworld insist on keeping orca in captivity, then they should do some of this.

  • So sad..

  • r.i.p keiko your the best

  • Such an emotional tribute for Keiko I loved him and I will always miss him he was and will always be my faviorite orca beautiful video.

  • all whale hunters should die. SAVE THE WHALES <3

  • WILLY!!!!

  • uh nooooo!!

  • some of those video's weren't keiko, he's a boy, some of them were girls :)

    its a really good video anyway :) i liked it

    he was a beautiful boy :)

    i love him, and i wish he was still alive today :'(

    R.I.P <3

  • @TheRubyRose13

  • @optimuswhat

    poor jesse 

  • Comment removed

  • @TheRubyRose13 every one of these pics were him just to let u know there were no ohther whales this hole thing is a tribute to keiko u can tell its hit by his fin on his back it is folded over

  • @stacks6969allday

    0.51 - female killer whale, her fin isnt flopped over

    1.01 - fin isnt flopped over

    5.20 - male killer whale, fin isnt flopped over

    and you will also notice that in videos where you cant see there fin, you also cant see the 3 little dots that are under the real keiko's chin.

  • Keiko is the reason why i love orca s now! So Thank You Keiko!!!

  • This is the most beautiful video of Keiko I have found yet on the internet.

  • Why was his name Keiko? Keiko is female name...

  • @Nika10590 It means "Lucky One"!

  • They did the right thing, putting Keiko back in the ocean. I'm sure he appreciated it. Even if he did die shortly after

  • manifico

  • Keiko lived a good life, He was an amazing orca and I will never forget him  :(

  • @Dracosgal8 r u kidding me! u kept getting shipped to different places and then they were about to terminate him and feed him to africans!

  • Free Willy is amazing r.i.p. Keiko

  • I remember when I saw Keiko at the Oregon Aquarium years and years ago. It was such a joy to see him. I cried the day I read in the newspaper that they found him dead in the bay...

  • I went to see Keiko in the kingdom adventure park when I was a little boy, I liked it so much to see keiko I told my mother that I wanted to be but she said she could not so I just put my nickname and now keiko my family tells me hahaha keiko

  • RIP Keiko, Ban Captivity! NO TANK can COMPARE TO THE OCEAN!

  • @OrcaLover023456 i agree

  • @OrcaLover023456 i agree

  • rest in peace keiko

  • géniale

    

  • Why is he so famous...?

  • I have a phobia of killer whales, but...THAT TANK IS WAY TOO SMALL!!!

  • Its not fair for people like Whale Hunters to kill whales. Its just not fair, and the Whale Hunters show dont do shit. They should cancel. But I love Kieko, and he was my friend even though I never met him. It's horrible to watch Free Willy and seeing Kieko again. I just hate it, because I was Watching Free Willy and then the news came up saying that Kieko died. And then I started crying and my mom came in and hugged me. Lena cried and so did her friend. We love you Kieko (R.I.P)

  • R.I.P My Angel :'(

  • kieko looks so fun i wish i could have seen him in real life :(

  • what happend to Keiko?

  • @EffinLillie he beached himself in a bay in norway

    and died of pneumonia in 2003.

  • @xvickykayx Oh dear lord D:

  • when he got in his home waters it semed he had more spirits. . we all love you keiko . . RIP <3

  • Keiko was dead...

  • they never found his pod?

  • <3 Keiko

    RIP :(

  • What is on his skin? & what is wrong with his skin? at 3:25 to 3:28

  • @tone430 When they moved him they had to put lotion on his skin so it wouldn't get dry.

  • @tone430

    its because he was out of the water too long, i think it goes away in time, not sure

  • Alguien sabe como se llama la música de fondo???

  • Comment removed

  • @BalanQuitze La música se llama "Titanic - Hymn to the sea"

  • He endured so much in his life but in the end, he was finally free and he made the best of it with his family. We all love you Keiko and you will be forever remembered.

  • @SilverIceDragon Im afraid Keiko never did find his pod his family the only orcas he was in contact with werent his family he just wanted to check them out and see what they where up too. Keiko was taken away to young and pod vocalizations werent recorded in Iceland and was very hard to locate his family without photo IDs. Keiko died in his home the ocean his birthright and thats where all killer whales should be. I will miss you Keiko forever and may you RIP my speacial friend.

  • Your movies were at the top of the charts in my child hood days keiko....RIP big guy.....may the lord keep you with him cuz we all gotta go someday.....don't know how but we will..........

  • Keiko es de Mexico, aqui vivio la gran parte de su vida, Es Mexicana de Adopción.

  • how come sometimes his dorsal fin is flopped to one side sometimes then the other side sometimes?? lol i have always wondered that haha

  • @germanshepherdlvr100 Keiko's fin flopps to the left it dosen't move it stays that way the times he faces the camera it looks like it's on the right or you could be seeing a different captive orca hope that cleared it up for you.

  • @namuchildtake2 ok lol i didnt know the whole thing with the camera, but when i look at the pics a and vids and stuff i always look to make sure that is keiko, i look and see if his spots on his little spot markings are there...i miss him so much though, he was so amazing

  • sentient, intelligent animals like whales and dolphins should never be kept in captivity for our mere entertainment.

    the first 2 mins or so of the vid shows you just how wrong it to make one of nature's most fearsome predators do belly flops for the amusement of people who in all probability have a lower IQ than him.

    at least keiko died a free whale.

  • i loved kieko as a child and i am now 16 but i still cry when i see the movie knowing he died because all the people wanted him free and now hes dead. so i hope they feel good.

    he was the happiest dolphin in the whole world and i love him more than anything.

    kieko XxX

  • at :12 thats marineland canada near me just think i couldve seen him i used to go there all the time until i grew older and realized how cruel captivity is

  • I'm almost 18 years old and I still love this movie today. Such a childhood classic

  • That song always get me, yea thats right I'm a weakling and sob when it comes to that song. I remember when I went to the Newport Aquarium and saw him, I pressed my hand and face up to the glass as he was looking at me, I thought that was the coolest thing. He was a great whale, I certainly miss him. This new Free Willy movie with Bindi Irwin I'm hesitant to see, no whale can replace Kaiko (Willy)

  • @epicuniversal and the free willy 4 dolphin is computuerised its FAKE!!!

    i thought wat a load of shit and turned it off

    its destroyin keikos memory

  • I missed you so much. <3

  • poor Keiko

  • Comment removed

  • felt like crying when i was watching this vid. poor keiko <3

  • he didnt die because he was set free.... he lived the last good few years happy... he died as most orcas in the wild die, of phnemonia... it was a good thing he was free before he died!

  • Actually you are wrong, he did die because he was released. Keikos release was a crule,lonely, and painful death, 20-30 people quit his project when it neared final stage because they knew he wouldn't make it. Keikos immune system never fully recovered they nearly didn't release him but due to preasure from the public they did and Keikos immune system worsened in the wild and that is how he became sick and died of phnemonia. Btw, Orca don't normally get phnemonia..just so you know.

  • He didnt die because of that yes his immune system wasnt great but when he was re introduced to J-pod he was accepted but because he lacked the skills to survive fully in the wild such as hunting for food on his own he relied more on the other orcas for food. In 2002 He was seperated from J-pod and unable to join any other pod because he was so domesticated that started his starvation which in turn lead to sickness but not phnemonia and beached himself in the artic of 2003 which he died.

  • It was Luna who appeared in Vancouver a couple years later that died of Phnemonia

  • Keiko died of phnemonia... if you say he didn't you obviously didnt read his report every well. You realize you just contridicted yourself yeah? "He was seperated from J-pod and unable to join any other pod because he was so domesticated that started his starvation" If Keiko had never been released that wouldn't have happend. So yes he died because he was set free. You yourself just proved that.

  • I didnt say he didnt die because he was set free I just said he didnt die of Phnemonia. I read the report.

  • Obviously not, Look it up every single report and page state he died of pneumonia.

  • Comment removed

  • uhh you might not know this but he died because he was set free. Once they returned him to the wild he didn't want to join other Orca pods. He got sick and beached himself in 03

  • Really is a tear jerker. He was such a beautiful creature. He has inspired me that anything is possible. RIP Keiko.

  • Wow, Zazy16! Where did you find the picture of Keiko after he died and of his funeral?

  • bem loko

  • HE DIED CAUSE HE LIVED IN A TANK..

  • it wasn't because he lived in a tank! he died because he was getting old! and because he got pneumonia and just beached himself! the fact that he lived in captivity has nothing to do with it! even check online sites!

  • keiko had nooit gevangen mogen worden, zo'n mooi, groot dier kan gewoon niet in gevangenschap leven, orka's leven hun hele leven in groepen bij hun eigen familie. de film is heel erg goed, maar het is triest om te zien wat voor een leven hij had. ze zeggen dat het de gelukkigste orka van de wereld was, dus niet, en daarom dat hij ook op 27jarige leeftijd overleed. in het wild worden ze wel 90jaar..

  • love u the whale of vastmannaeyjar!!!!!

  • its a shame keiko died i would of loved to meet the whale RIP KEIKO

  • I loved Keiko since the first day I saw him in Reino aventura ´till the day I read he died...I went every Saturday with my brother to see him,only him, all his shows and he is so wonderful....I will always love him and he was so special i love orcas wanna do something so they are not captive anymore..

  • Ik vond hem echt keitop! En vind het echt jammer dat hij er niet meer is!

    R.I.P. keiko (L)

  • kieko was awsome we all love u kieko RIP xxx

  • @mig123100 :(

  • @brittany37744 i just hate whale pouchers if wen i get my boat i see 1 i will get on there boat and knock ten balls of shit out of them whales are lovely creatures not things to kill or sell

  • Eso esta muy bien solo que este animal cuando fue liberado empezo a tener problemas en la piel, y creo que le costo mucho adaptarse al medio ambiente natural. A veces una buena intencion no es suficiente. Con los leones y leopardos que se crian en cautiverio los liberan, pero los supervisan, hasta que se comprueba que se adaptaron, y sino, ellos mismos los alimentan. (los del parque)

  • great job! Keiko is the most popular orca in the world :)

    love Keiko <3

  • desde que vi esa pelicula,me enamore de ese animal y es mi animal freferido,es bellisimo y encantador,graias a esas peliculas muchos aprendimos mas sobre esos increibles animales!!!

  • estos videos son realmente marabiyosos

  • all the whale's hunters should be put in jail for killing whales . its not right to kill whales and other sea life

  • @deathdreams100 u mean they shud be put in jail for animal abuse :)

  • i love you keiko<3

  • I got two feelings.. first one, sad he died so young. But the second. Got we humans are dump. If you train him. Give him freedom but also takes some dmn responsibility and take care of him like your own dmn Child. He was your paycheck at the end of the show.

  • he actually didn't die that young!! he was 27 years old when he died and for a whale that is actually quite old!!

  • Actually they can live upto 60 years old in the wild

  • ya but that old tends to be kinda rare!! most killer whales in the wild will live until like their mid 40's!! which when u think about it that means keiko died only like 13 or so years earlier which isn't half bad!!

  • how would you like to live only half your life? Still a bummer, they either need to make WAY better tanks, like, more natural ones, or just let them go

  • no matter how they big or better they make the tanks, it still isn't enough for a whale! and the problem is most whales in a tank are born there and are use to captivity! thus they can't be released!

  • watching TV in holland today, they say they can be upto 90 years old in the wild..

  • yeah, that's true...

  • Keiko was such a beautiful Orca... It was in the news in Germany that he died... On ProSieben...

    and in one of the biggest newspapers, "Stern", an article about his life was in there...

    Keiko died at the same day when there are three things I'd never forget:

    1. My mother's birthday

    2. my parent's wedding

    3. corky 2's anniversary

    12.12.2003

    R.I.P. Keiko

  • keiko you are in my life forever. i love you

  • i love keiko so much and i miss him

  • Now if they made a movie on Lolita.. think maybe her owners would stop being jew bags and actually make her a bigger tank? Granted the transporting might stress her out too much, but at least she'd have an actual legal sized Orca tank.

  • that would be so funny if the whale ate that womans hand

  • why was keiko so famous?

  • because of the movie 'Free Willy'. :o

  • 5::04 =*(

  • Did you actually see Keiko up close?

    God, he was beautiful, I love the Free Willy films, when me and siblings were really little, we had a plasctic toy wahle that you could sit on and for some weird reason we called it Willy, we didn't know his real name

  • Aw I love the movies 2...but keiko was only in the first movie, the other 2 movies,willy was robotic...

  • hes like so nice why do they call it a killer whale rip miss you so cute how do they get him to be that good

  • they get the name killer whale because they kill whales. Orcas are actually a type of dolphin aswell =]

  • They kill more then just whales. They hunt seals, fish, other dolphins, sharks, squid, birds. If it's in their water, their range, it's free game.

  • Poor baby! RIP

  • good song miss you keiko

  • wow this is pretty bad. michael jackson just died and im sitting here crying over this whale. i wish i could have met him. i loved this movie. i cant find it anywhere. R.I.P. Keiko

  • Absolutly beautiful and lovely music 5 stars.

  • actually your the retard keiko is a very special being. and how can u kill him he had people monitoring him 24/7 your the retard

  • then u would have been jailed for cruelty against animals idiot

  • How are we retarded? Now who dedicates their life to hate on a species of animal? Grow up child, no one agrees with you. Don't your parents monitor you on the internet for cyberbullying? O wait i forgot you have no loving parents you abortion that lived.

  • Or are you retarded?

    Come on AmericanDoggie a special creature died and all you can think about is killing him for yourself?

    you must deep down have a heart if you dont just stop leaving these nasty comments.

    Its a good job he cant read what you are writing because you dont no and you never will go through the pain which keiko went through.

  • HEY AmericanDoggie! SHUT UR BIG UNFORGIVABLE MOUTH! AT LEAST HE WAS LOVED BY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE! EVEN PEOPLE WHO LIKED SEALS! U ARE SO COLD HEARTED! SO WHY DONT U JUST ACCEPT IT AS IT IS LIFE!

  • you are so cold hearted americandoggie. you can burn in fucking hell! you piece of shit looser!

  • WE SHALL BE HAPPY WHEN UR DEAD!

  • OH SHUT THE FUCK UP! KEIKO WAS A BEAUTIFUL BREATHTAKING ORCA unlike for u the mirror cracks. lets party when your dead for all we know philliesorca26 and toa19 would probably dance on your grave! your the ugly one! you ugly slut stop insulting orcas coz there better than u especially Keiko! now go shag a seal seal shagger! YOU FUCKING SLUT!

  • well i would lol and is 719 not 19

  • good one

  • yeah your a cold hearted BITCH! i dont see any of your precious seals being world famous for release do u??!!

  • why do the fins bend when there in captivity

  • Its essentially gravity pulling down on it, it doesnt harm them or affected their swimming habits, in captivity, the water isnt deep enough to exert enough pressure on the fin, to harden the collagen and keep it straight, that and alot of the captive orcas spen much of their time at the surface, which can often cause it to flop :)

  • oh thanks, learn something new everyday :D

  • no problem :DD

  • This is the absolute best Keiko video I have ever seen.

  • Whit soundtrack from titanic i Started to kry it was a great video
