Template:InfoboxCharacterTurquoise October(NA/EU/OC)[a], or OCTOTOOL(JP)[b], is a band in Splatoon. They are not seen or referred to in-game, only credited on Splatune for their music. They may be Octotroopers, as suggested in their album art.
Turquoise October's album art is unusual in that the text on it resembles their name in English localizations (looking like "TURQUIOZ OCTOBER"), rather than the original Japanese one.
They are the second band in Splatoon to have their name changed for localization, after Chirpy Chips.
The cover of their album is a reference to The Man-Machine, an electronic music album composed by German band Kraftwerk.
Turquoise October's name may be a reference to Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October, a novel involving naval officers and a submarine, reminiscent of the Great Turf War.
It may also be a reference to American alternative rock band Blue October, simply changing the type of blue. One of Blue October’s most successful songs was titled “Into the Ocean” which fits with the oceanic theme of splatoon as a whole, supporting this theory.
It may also be called Turquoise October because it has Octo in October.
Select songs in the Splatoon 2 Turquoise October album have reversed sound clips from the Squid Sisters' songs. It is theorized that the singer in these voice samples is Callie.
Another fan theory is that each song contains a motif from Squid Sisters' songs (possibly because of a note sequence from Now or Never! used in Buoyant Boogie).
Marina having turquoise as her signature color may be a reference to Turqoise October.
Ebb and Flow (Demo) shows many motifs shared with songs in Turquoise October, including "burps" heard in various songs and the five-note jingle heard in Eight-Legged Advance.
