	Keiko (Orca) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Keiko (circa 1976 - December 12, 2003) was an orca which performed in the first of the three Free Willy movies.

	Keiko, star of 'Free Willy' movies, dies in Norway
		Keiko, the killer whale made famous by the "Free Willy" movies, has died in Norwegian coastal waters where he remained after millions of dollars and a decade of work failed to coax him back to the open sea, his caretakers said early today.
		Keiko was rehabilitated at the Oregon Coast Aquarium and airlifted to Iceland in 1998, where handlers prepared it for the wild, teaching the orca to catch live fish in an operation that cost about $500,000 a month.
		Keiko's keepers said the whale seemed to adapt to living in the wild despite so many years in captivity, learning to slap his tail and do jumps called side breaches that are typically done to stun fish.

	CNN.com - 'Free Willy' whale Keiko dies - Dec. 13, 2003
		Keiko was led to the remote Norwegian bay last year after he turned up in Norway, to the delight of local residents but the disappointment of his trainers who had hoped he would return to the wild after years in captivity.
		Keiko was released from Iceland in July 2002, but he swam straight for Norway on a 870-mile trek that seemed to be a search for human companionship.
		Keiko was later led to Taknes Bay, a clear, calm pocket of coastal water deep enough that it doesn't freeze in winter.

		Keiko, who had become infected with his own virus—a papillomavirus that had caused the pimply irritation on his skin—was still languishing in Mexico, but now he was in demand.
		The aquarium's position was that Keiko was not ready to leave; the foundation's position was that (a) Keiko was indeed ready to leave, and (b) he belonged to the foundation, not the aquarium.
		Keiko's living quarters were splendid, but everything had to be done by boat, since the land that formed the bay around him was a sheer ridge of petrified lava.
