Hatori Sohma, a member of the Sohma family, turns into a seahorse because it's the closest representation of a dragon in their world. Quirky, but it works!

The seahorse represents Hatori Sohma, who transforms into the dragon of the Chinese zodiac whenever he's weak or stressed. In Japanese culture, seahorses are seen as baby dragons, so it fits!

It's because Hatori Sohma's zodiac animal is a dragon, and the seahorse is the form it takes in the story.
