Cute and funny mnemonics (11–20)
5572Coconut
In puns that use numbers, 5 is often read as “ko” rather than “go.” Similarly, 2 can be read as “tsu” instead of “ni.” Neither feels entirely intuitive, right? A number string that incorporates both of these readings is 5572, which represents “coconuts” (ko-ko-natsu).
Try using it if you want to standardize your passwords around food-themed number puns.
4649Thank you in advance.
“4649” is a play on numbers that stands for “yoroshiku” (best regards).
The 4 is read as “yo,” 6 as “ro,” and 9 as “ku.” Since it uses the initial sounds of the numbers’ common readings, it’s easy to understand and remember.
It’s a well-known number pun, so it should be understood across a wide range of age groups.
It could be fun to use in LINE messages and the like.
1026denim
Do you know what wordplay “1026” stands for? The answer is “denim.” In typical Japanese number wordplay, 1 and 0 are pronounced separately as different sounds.
But here, 10 is treated as a single unit and converted to its English reading “ten,” which is then read as “de” in Japanese.
By the way, October 26 is designated as Denim Day.
Take this opportunity to remember it!
4690polar bear.
In Japanese wordplay with numbers, the digit “0” can be read in various ways.
One unusual reading is “ma.” For example, “4690” can be read as “shirokuma,” meaning polar bear.
Try remembering this as one of the animal-related number puns.
Since polar bears are loved for their white appearance, this wordplay also gives off a cute impression.
6331Japanese giant flying squirrel
“6331” is a Japanese number pun that stands for “musasabi” (Japanese giant flying squirrel).
People often confuse them, but musasabi and momonga (dwarf flying squirrel) are actually different animals.
Musasabi are smaller and are characterized by a membrane on their hind legs for gliding.
Try using this number pun while picturing their adorable appearance—it’s sure to lift your spirits.
4126good bath
A bath is important for refreshing yourself from the day’s fatigue, and for some people it might even be the highlight of their day.
This passage conveys the joy of taking a bath to refresh yourself, using “4126,” which can be read as “yoi furo” (good bath).
Since “41” can be read as “yoi” (good) through wordplay, it can be combined not only with “26” (furo, bath) but also with other words.
For those who consider bath time the best part of the day or simply love baths, this is a number sequence you’ll want to remember.

3150Awesome
Easy to use in everyday life! Here are some ideas for “3150 (saikō).” Many of you have probably seen this number-based pun on social media, right? The “3150 pose” got popular along with it, too.
It’s said to have started as a wordplay used by Shiro Kameda, but it spread rapidly online and seems to have caught on with young people as well.
The word saikō (“awesome” or “the best”) is also very versatile for expressing happiness or fun, so it’s easy to use—and pretty entertaining, too.
