He is my close friend.

Ayu is my best friend.

I like fishing for ayu in the river.

He flattered his boss and got promoted.

Mr. Ayukawa is my best friend.

Every summer, my father goes fishing for sweetfish using Ayu-kake.

He didn't stop his flattery towards his boss.

He always used flowery language to flatter his boss.

The ayu is one of the symbols of Japanese summer.

Ayu is my best friend.
