Where's Honami?

## Description

At the start of Sakamoto, Itsumi and Kasumi enter through big doors, then they introduce the show and themselves [with accompanied fanfares and lip-shaped horns playing these fanfares - Itsumi gets good, fancy fanfares played by pink horns while Kasumi gets bad, off-key fanfares played by blue horns]. They look at the doors, Honami did not come out with them, resulting in the two girls (or Inklings or Octolings or Maxi) to ask "Where's Honami?".

Then, Itsumi and Kasumi start searching for Honami, with acquired help from Maxi, Ming-Ming, and in season 1, the Talking Busts or the chickens or aliens or the small creatures that popped up periodically, or for season 2, the chicken that sits in the nest. When Itsumi and Kasumi give up on finding her, one of them asks the viewer about Honami's whereabouts. The viewer always sees Honami before the two girls do. When the two find out where Honami is hiding, she reveals herself and says, "Ta-da, here I am", surprising them. Then the three introduce themselves and say "...and we're Sakamoto" The segment ends with Ming-Ming saying an incorrect, misspelled or mispronounced interpretation of the band's name, and an Inkling or Octoling correcting her by saying "No, Sakamoto", resulting in Ming-Ming saying something which culminates into The Sakamoto Pledge.

## Trivia

* In Season 2, Honami sometimes shrinks and hides from Itsumi and Kasumi. In season 1, however, she didn't shrink and hid behind props, inside of boxes, etc.
* Some episodes have variants of Itsumi and Kasumi's introduction (or variants of all three members introducing themselves after Honami is found):
	+ In Sakamoto Photo Op, Kasumi says "Hey, everybody." and Itsumi says "It's time for..." instead.
		- After Honami is found, instead of saying her name, Honami says she's "eating celery" before she corrects herself.
	+ In Keep Trying, when Kasumi introduced himself, she heard a raspberry instead of a fanfare, so she uses a slide whistle to play her fanfare.
	+ In Count on Me, the two tap dance in order to play their fanfares.
	+ In Very Scary, Itsumi pops out of the trapdoor when she says "Hey everybody." And Kasumi jumps, then says "It's time for..."
	+ In The Move Groove, when Itsumi says "I'm Itsumi", she gets confetti instead of a fanfare. And Kasumi gets a single pom-pom instead of a fanfare.
	+ In High and Low, the two are spinning then fall over. Itsumi thinks she's "overspun [her] spin". A little later, Kasumi calls herself "dizzy" before correcting herself.
	+ In Gibble Gobble Nabber Gabber, since Itsumi speaks gibberish until Sakamoto gets to the concert, Kasumi imitated her voice, making her say both "Hey, everybody." when imitating Itsumi and "It's time for..." in her normal voice. She does the same thing when they usually introduce themselves: Kasumi says both "I'm Itsumi" when imitating Itsumi and "I'm Kasumi" in her normal voice.
	+ In What? When? Why?, Kasumi hears a sound similar to a cow mooing instead of a fanfare. She then raises her voice because the cow moo was quiet, then says her name louder. Which prompts a drumroll followed by a "ta-da" sound.
	+ In Roar Like A Dinosaur, when Itsumi says "I'm Itsumi", she gets not only a fanfare, but a bouquet of flowers. When Kasumi says "I'm Kasumi", she gets a sped-up fanfare and a single flower, the flower droops in her hands.
	+ In Growing Honami, while Itsumi says "Hey everybody", Kasumi spins, then her back is facing the camera when she says "It's time for..." then Itsumi taps her shoulder and she turns around.
	+ In Abracitsumi, the two pop out of the cupboards when introducing the show.
	+ In The Eww Flower, Itsumi didn't get her fanfare because she sneezed.
	+ In The Mighty Honami Machine, when Itsumi says "I'm Itsumi", she gets confetti instead of a fanfare. And Kasumi gets her fanfare (without the horns), but Itsumi snaps her fingers and the confetti reappears.
* This also happened briefly in the Sakamoto Rockin' Road Show Theme.
