Ino was the last of her family lineage, until she had her first calf Indigo L-100 in 2001. Sadly Indigo passed away in 2014. In the spring of 2006, Ino gave birth to her second calf Coho (L-108). In December 2010 she had her third offspring Keta (L-117).
Her name was the winning entry in a naming contest in 1983, part of a campaign to prevent the capture of orcas for public display. Partly as a result of this effort, all orcas are protected from further capture in both the U.S. and Canada.
