In an unofficial tradition that has taken root in the month
of November, the 25th is commemorated as “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 origin in the pronunciation of numbers in Japanese. The
number “2” is pronounced as “Futatsu” , while the “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 adorable characters, the
diversity of the illustrations reflects the rich history of the 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 anime space. The virality of the hashtag
demonstrates the community's ability to come together around unique celebrations
and express their love for anime characters in creative and artistic ways.
