Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there's actually anyone with that name in the game, so I dunno...
Ah ha, found it!

Your ship get attacked by a karakuri and a giant turtle / tortoise comes and saves you. So this would be "Saved by the Turtle" or "Saved by the Tortoise", with the kanji of "亀".

*edit* Changed "a" to "the" because it's not the first time you've encountered said Turtle in the game.
