Wozart is a blue fish musician that appeared in the first four the Legendary Starfy series games and only had a story role in the first three. They usually play the Tone of Ocean, but also play the Ocean Saxophone in Densetsu no Starfy 3.
In Densetsu no Starfy
Starfy and Moe meet Wozart in Deep Sea (Stage 5). Wozart and Moe both tell Starfy that Wozart's Tone of Ocean has been stolen. A flashback plays where Wozart shows Moe the Tone of Ocean only to have it stolen by Blantern and two Buranko after the stage turns dark. the Tone of Ocean is then hidden in a large side-scrolling room with arrow buttons which change the direction that the screen is scrolling when Starfy uses Star Spin on them, depending on the direction that the arrows are facing. After locating the missing Tone of Ocean instrument, Wozart badly plays the song of the same name (it is suspected that Wozart's Tone of Ocean is unfortunately a counterfeit and by a stroke of luck Starfy and Moe find the real one later). This shocks Starfy and Moe, but it also frightens off a pair of Nogo that were blocking Starfy and Moe's path.
Wotsaruto also appears in the background of the sound test after completion of the main game. Selecting any option on the sound test will show Wotsaruto playing the Tone of Ocean.
In Densetsu no Starfy 2
In Pitch Dark Cave
Starfy and Moe meet Wozart again in Pitch Dark Cave (Stage 6-1), where Wozart talks to Moe. Wozart has a flashback, where the ground shakes and Puchi Ogura #6, wearing a Kigurumi appears and notices Wozart. The Puchi Ogura recognizes Wozart as a famous musician and asks them to compose him a theme song. After refusing, the Puchi Ogura gets angry, causing Wozart to run away. Later, in the present, the ground shakes and Puchi Ogura #6 wearing the Kigurumi appears in person. After a brief argument with Wozart, the Puchi Ogura snaps and kidnaps Wozart.
Starfy and Moe later catch up with Puchi Ogura #6. Puchi Ogura #6 talks to Wozart, modeling the song he wants Wozart to compose. Wozart, still refusing to compose, angers the Puchi Ogura who grabs and walks off with them. After catching up with Puchi Ogura #6 again, Moe intervenes and stops Puchi Ogura #6 from hurting Wozart. Moe offers to make, and even sing, a song for Puchi Ogura #6, which the Puchi Ogura allows. Moe begins to sing, causing the area to shake itself and rocks to fall from the ceiling. This frightens not only Starfy and Wozart, but also the Puchi Ogura. This causes the Kigurumi to deflate, revealing himself to Moe, Starfy, and Wozart. Seeing that his lies have been revealed, Puchi Ogura #6 flees, leaving behind a Key which opens several keyholes around the area, one of which leads to the treasure chest containing the Kombu Mawashi at the end of the Stage 6-1.
In Moe's House
After defeating Ogura for the first time, a sound test option is available in Moe's House. When the music is played, Wotsaruto appears to be playing it with the Tone of Ocean, and Moe appears to be singing the song.
In Densetsu no Starfy 3
Starfy, Starly, and Moe meet Wozart in the third stage of the Gabun Ocean Trench, where they stop the trio from moving forward. They claim that before passing by Gabun, it's common practice to put him to sleep first. They tell the trio to watch close as they play the Tone of Ocean, but Gabun stays wide awake, saying that they're tired of hearing the same song over and over, shocking the musician.
After Wozart's failure, Starfy suggests that if Gabun's tired of hearing the same song, they could just make a new one. Moe boldly offers to sing Gabun a lullaby, to which Starfy says not to, with Wozart agreeing and telling Moe that he's tone deaf. After Moe gets angry, Wozart gets an idea, and says that they heard that the Legendary Instruments (Japanese: でんせつのがっき) used by the "Legendary Band" (Japanese: でんせつのバンド) were buried somewhere around the area. Wozart leaves the trio to locate three legendary instruments: Starfy finds the Legendary Guitar, Starly finds the Legendary Bass, and together the siblings find the Legendary Drums (given to them by the original members of the band, Gekojii, Gekyojii, and Jiilacanth, respectively). After meeting back up with Wozart, Starly and Moe claim that they're playing the bass and drums, respectively, so Wozart says that they'll play the guitar they recently bought. But Starly says that one of the Legendary Instruments is already a guitar and that Starfy is playing it. Wondering what they'll do with their guitar, Moe snatches it from them and says that it's their thanks for helping them out (and obtaining the Guitar Stuff Item as a result). Wozart, flustered, then asks what instrument they'll play, to which Moe says that they can just play the Tone of Ocean. Wozart then says that it doesn't fit in with the others, which Starly says not to worry about. Telling Moe that it's up to him, the clam begins to do something to the Tone of Ocean, much to Wozart's horror. When he's finished, the Tone of Ocean becomes a saxophone called the Sax of the Ocean (Japanese: 海のサックス), which Wozart uses in the band (albeit hesitantly). When they rock out, Gabun enjoys the music a lot, and it causes him to fall asleep.
