The star of Oscar-winning documentary The Cove, about a dolphin-killing village in Japan, has been detained by immigration authorities at Tokyo’s Narita international airport.

Ric O’Barry, the former dolphin trainer for the Flipper TV series, said immigration officials told him he was not a tourist, the visa he was using to enter Japan, according to his lawyer, Takashi Takano.
