In an unofficial tradition that has taken root in the month of November, the 25th is commemorated as the “Good Twins Day (Ii Futago no Hi)”, a holiday that has conquered social networks with illustrations that highlight the most representative twins of the anime industry.
This double celebration, also marked every February 5 in Japan, has its origins in the pronunciation of numbers in Japanese. The number “2” is pronounced like “Futatsu,” while “5” is pronounced like “Go.” By combining them, the word “Futago” is formed, which means “Twins”. This ingenious linguistic coincidence has inspired the community to celebrate this date in a special way.
Illustrators and fans alike have flooded social media platforms with their artistic renderings of anime twins, using the commemorative hashtag #いい双子の日 to share your creations. From iconic couples to lovable characters, the diversity of the illustrations reflects the rich history of twins in the world of anime.
The global community has responded enthusiastically to this initiative, creating a festive online atmosphere that celebrates diversity and creativity in the realm of anime. The virality of the hashtag demonstrates the community’s ability to unite around unique celebrations and express their love for anime characters in creative and artistic ways.
