Dashi is the Octonaut crew's sweet-natured IT officer and photographer. She is one of the only females, other than Tweak and Tominnow, on the Octonauts crew. Dashi is a Dachshund Dog who controls all of the computers, communication devices, and steering for the Octopod. She is often portrayed as a meteorologist as well, as she often is the one monitoring the weather forecasts on the Octopod's storm tracker. She is also the crew's official photographer, taking pictures of the different creatures.
