As for why October 8 (10\/8) was specifically chosen to be Toei Day \u2013 the numbers \u201c10\u201d and \u201c8\u201dcan be pronounced as \u201cTo-ei\u201d in Japanese. This is also why the digits 1, 0 and 8 are used in Arainami\u2019s name to spell \u201cTOEI\u201d (T081).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udf0a\u301010\u67088\u65e5\u306f\u30c8\u30a6\u30a8\u30a4\u306e\u65e5\uff01\u3011\ud83c\udf0a<br>\u6771\u6620\u6620\u753b\u306b\u6d41\u308c\u308b\u30aa\u30fc\u30d7\u30cb\u30f3\u30b0\u306e\u914d\u7d66\u30de\u30fc\u30af\u304c\u2026\u307e\u3055\u304b\u306e\u64ec\u4eba\u5316\uff01\uff1f<br><br>\u6771\u6620\u8352\u6ce2\u8a08\u753b\u3088\u308a\u65b0\u30ad\u30e3\u30e9\u30af\u30bf\u30fc<br>\u300e\u3042\u3089\u3044\u306a\u307f T081\u300f \u304c\u8a95\u751f\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u2728<br>(\u30ad\u30e3\u30e9\u30c7\u30b6\u30a4\u30f3\uff1a\u30bf\u30b1\u30a6\u30c1\u30ea\u30e7\u30fc\u30b9\u30b1\u5148\u751f <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ryosuketarou?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ryosuketarou<\/a> )<br><br>\ud83c\udf81\u8a95\u751f\u8a18\u5ff5\u30d7\u30ec\u30bc\u30f3\u30c8\u30ad\u30e3\u30f3\u30da\u30fc\u30f3<br>\u300c\u3042\u3089\u3044\u306a\u307f\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/76zX9yt7fG\">pic.twitter.com\/76zX9yt7fG<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u6771\u6620 ONLINE STORE \uff08TOS\uff09 (@toeionlinestore) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/toeionlinestore\/status\/2108001429960958392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 8, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arainami T081 was illustrated by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ryosuketarou?s=20\">Ryosuke Takeuchi<\/a>, who provided art for popular franchises such as Pok\u00e9mon, Monster Hunter, and One Piece.
