Their japanese name is Takohei which simply means Octopus Soldier, but it could also be a portmanteau of Octopus (Tako) and Shy Guy (Heiho). The english translators also seemed to notice this and therefore named the enemy Octoguy. {{User:VOIDTHIS/sig}} 23:43, 28 October 2018 (CET) | Their japanese name is Takohei which simply means Octopus Soldier, but it could also be a portmanteau of Octopus (Tako) and Shy Guy (Heiho).
