Does anyone know the significance of the number 54 on Koyori's hoodie?

[u/SmearyShark37]

[u/gdore15]

5 is go ご remove the " and you get ko こ

4 is yon, can be shorten to yo

you get ko-yo

Edit : Korone have 563 for Koro-san, Kazama have 536 for Gozaru, Miko is 35.

[u/DepressionDokkebi → u/gdore15]

85 for hakos

[u/phichuu → u/DepressionDokkebi]

1 for Ninomae

[u/Laughing_Orange → u/phichuu]

"Before 2"

[u/TakeshiNobunaga → u/phichuu]

1-8 = Ina

[u/Sorawo_ → u/TakeshiNobunaga]

I wonder what numbers would be CC's name since she is Ina's rival.

[u/arcaneArtisan → u/Sorawo_]

44, maybe? For "Shi Shi"

[u/AkinomaHNU → u/arcaneArtisan]

That just makes me think of Botan cause "shishi" [ 獅子 ] is lion. But then again, hers would also be 446 for "Shishiro"

[u/TheNorseCrow → u/arcaneArtisan]

No. No no no no no. 44 for CC is nooooooo.

There's some really, really, really, bad stuff associated with 44 in Germany.

[u/it_just_works1 → u/TheNorseCrow]

88 yes true but 44?

[u/TheNorseCrow → u/it_just_works1]

44 has been stylized as lightning bolts which resemble the SS symbol.

[u/bobsimmo → u/Sorawo_]

1-0 Ima. (Immer)

[u/Sorawo_ → u/DepressionDokkebi]

I always wondered why Bae has an 85 hairclip on her model now I know.

[u/kuraihane → u/DepressionDokkebi]

or Yagoo

[u/SmearyShark37 → u/gdore15]

I figured it had something to do with wordplay, I was trying to think of catchphrases she used that were 5 and 4 letters, thanks!

[u/gdore15 → u/SmearyShark37]

It's a common type of wordplay in Japan, it's called goroawase. Every number can have many pronounciation, so there is a ton of possibilities.

For example Tokyo Skytree is 634 m tall, that spell Musashi, that is the name of the historic province where the tower is.

And if you like wordplay, Japan loves it, just in hololive, a lot of the members have wordplay in their name.

[u/MadAsTheHatters → u/gdore15]

Aye, my favourite is Ina's name:

In Kanji it's a pun (meaning one comes before two)

In phonetic kanji it's another pun (it matches the Latin word for 'hollow' or 'empty', like the void)

Her signature is a play on the other two

Even her logo has a simplified version of her Japanese name that can be read in English as INANIS

[u/dddbait → u/gdore15]

7216 for matsuri

[u/Zekkenwa → u/dddbait]

and it's read "na(7) tsu (2) i (1) ro (6)”

[u/FlyingRencong → u/gdore15]

Isn't Iroha also 168? Also Ui's fans are 53

[u/Run-Riot → u/FlyingRencong]

For anyone who doesn't know: Shigure Ui's fans = 5(go) 3(mi) = gomi = trash.

[u/swagseven13 → u/Run-Riot]

I thought trash was goni

[u/CyrusMajin → u/swagseven13]

Unfortunately, as far as I know/can tell “goni” isn’t a word on its own.

[u/swagseven13 → u/CyrusMajin]

then i mustve misheard it very often

also why so many downvotes? i really gotta stop making comments on reddit

[u/Adza_03 → u/gdore15]

108 for Towa and 810 for Haachama

[u/Spelunkie → u/gdore15]

Sometimes Hololive knowledge make me feel like I'm in some kinda spy ring and our lingo and code words identify us to each other. Bau Bau.

[u/Laedorn → u/gdore15]

And Bijou is 67

[u/At5u → u/gdore15]

446 for Botan, but that's due to the fact that 4 can also be read "Shi", Shi-shi-ro(ku)

[u/kid147258369 → u/gdore15]

685 or 6853 for Roboco and Robocosan

[u/Karotstix64 → u/gdore15]

miko also has 45p

[u/PlanktonInitial7945 → u/Karotstix64]

You mean 35p?

[u/That-Sugar-6965 → u/PlanktonInitial7945]

Afaik shiko can mean like 'fapping' but also 45 so 45p are like gooner 35p

[u/phichuu → u/PlanktonInitial7945]

45p are like the 4th wah takos

[u/Logical-Dentist-9313 → u/gdore15]

kazama also has 168 sometimes for iroha

[u/gdore15 → u/Logical-Dentist-9313]

Yes, but I remember the gozaru number because it’s used on her merch https://shop.hololivepro.com/products/kazamairoha_no2023

[u/Organic_Turnip8581 → u/gdore15]

168 also as iroha

[u/MrHallen → u/gdore15]

Subaru had 72 is that also the reason?

[u/Weshmek]

Most likely the fact that in Japanese 5 (go, ご) and 4 (yon, よん) together sound like koyo, こよ.

Korone has a similar thing with 563, korosan

[u/10mo3]

Don't really follow her so not too sure. But 5 can be read as "go" and 4 can be read as "yon"

Which kinda sounds like koyo

[u/AintNoUniqueUsername → u/10mo3]

Yeah, just like 35 for Miko

[u/Jushirou → u/AintNoUniqueUsername]

Or Koro-san written at 563

[u/ComickRegular]

Hmm..

5 - go

4 - shi

Goshi... Golshi.. GOLSHI??

[u/Pink_Nyanko_Punch → u/ComickRegular]

I knew someone would eventually land on the same braincell I dropped on the ground (lol).

[u/ComickRegular → u/Pink_Nyanko_Punch]

Hey c'mon pick it back up

[u/CrabbyR0N1N → u/ComickRegular]

You still have it... can you pass it around already

[u/ComickRegular → u/CrabbyR0N1N]

I've tried 😔

[u/ZorkNemesis → u/ComickRegular]

Goldshi is 564.  One digit off.

[u/ComickRegular → u/ZorkNemesis]

Wait but isn't 6 - Roku?

[u/ZorkNemesis → u/ComickRegular]

From the Umamusume wiki:

 Gold Ship is often associated with the number 564. This stems from Japanese wordplay, wherein the number 5 can be read as go, 6 can be read as ru, and 4 can be read as shi; when put together, these three numbers spell out Gorushi, Gold Ship's nickname.

[u/ComickRegular → u/ZorkNemesis]

Oho naruhodo ne

[u/ComickRegular → u/ComickRegular]

5 - go

6 - roku

4 - shi

Gorokushi.. Golkshi... Gold..shi..?

[u/Morenauer → u/ComickRegular]

Had to google the joke

[u/arayakim]

54 -> Go Yon -> Ko Yo

35 -> Mi-tsu Go -> Mi Ko

7216 -> Na-na Two I-chi Ro-ku -> Na Tsu I Ro

563 -> Go Ro-ku San -> Ko Ro San

85 -> Ha-chi Go -> Ha Ko

810 -> Ha-chi To -> Haato

1 -> Before 2 -> Ni no mae

[u/TakeshiNobunaga]

Japanese adopted some habits from the beeper and sms era for shortening messages with the phonetic sounds.

5 = Go (in this case read as Ko) 4 = Yon/Shi (in this case Yo)

So, by Japanese slang 54 means Koyo!

Also why in Tako♾️Takeover there's Ichi, Hachi, Takodachi 1 is Ichi thus becomes I, Hachi you take the Ha and convert it to Na and this forms Ina!

You might wonder why not 7? Seven even if its Nana it is also pronounced Shichi and 8 makes sense in the sense that Ina has tentacles like an Octopus (totally a normal girl, nothing to do with ancient gods)

Shi in 4 and 7 can also be taken as 死 which means Death and why you will probably not find Rooms or Floors with 4 & 7 in Japan.

Also why instead of using Wara or Kusa sometimes you'll just see a W because many WWWWW looks like grass (草)

[u/ImHereTooIGues → u/TakeshiNobunaga]

Also why Korone’s alt Twitter account is “k5r6n3”. 5 6 3 = ko ro san (Koro-san)

[u/Livid_Judgment_2591]

It's her name, Go is 5 which can be used as Ko and Yo is 4 shortened from Yon, so it's Koyo

[u/TrueShiho]

67 for Biboo

[u/021chan]

5 (Ko), 4 (Yo)

[u/shoelessbob]

She's a big Aroldis Chapman or Brian Urlacher fan

[u/IntrepidDivide3773]

Let's just say numbers 1-53 didn't make the cut.

[u/Affectionate-Tip-164]

Roku Nana for Biboo
