Tentatek
Tentatek is a gear brand in the Splatoon series. Tentatek makes a variety of gear and has designed three weapons: the Tentatek Splattershot (in collaboration with Splat), Dark Tetra Dualies, and Light Tetra Dualies. Their gear has a 5× chance of rolling Ink Recovery Up as a sub ability and a 0.5× chance of rolling Quick Super Jump.
According to SplatoonJP, Tentatek produces sportswear and athletic shoes,[1] with their brightly colored, high-tech trainers and Sea Slugs popular among young Inklings.[2]
Logo
In Splatoon, the Tentatek logo consists of a hot pink (deep cerise) oval with a white horizontal figure 8 shape (resembling the "eye mask" Inklings have on their face) inside it and the Inkling wordmark below it in the same hot pink color. The wordmark seems to be a very stylized round script, mimicking the letters "AROME" (the brand's Japanese name), and ends with an Inkling rendition of the trademark symbol.
In Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3, Tentatek's logo is slightly simplified, having only the figure 8 shape in the same previous hot pink color and the trademark symbol in the bottom-right corner of the icon. However, returning gear from the original Splatoon retains the old logo and the wordmark are used in some in-universe Tentatek promotions.

Trivia
- The writing underneath the logo is similar to its translated Japanese name, 'Arome'.
- In Splatoon, there is no Tentatek gear that has Bomb Sniffer, Haunt, Ink Recovery Up, Ink Saver (Main), Ink Saver (Sub), Last-Ditch Effort, Ninja Squid, Opening Gambit, Recon, Special Duration Up, or Swim Speed Up as a primary ability.
- In Splatoon 2, there is no Tentatek gear that has Haunt, Ink Recovery Up, Ninja Squid, or Opening Gambit as a primary ability.
- In art for the Hero vs. Villain Splatfest, Marina wears a pair of Tentatek shoes unavailable to players. They are similar to Sesame Salt 270s but are mainly dark gray with white and teal accents.
- It seems Tentatek is also a seller of soda named Tentacola, according to dialogue between Pearl and Marina for Ancho-V Games, Musselforge Fitness, and Skipper Pavilion. In other languages, it is named Tentatek Cola, a clear indication that it is Tentatek branded.
- Marina's 8-based outfits bear a resemblance to the sideways 8 on Tentatek clothing and the Tentatek logo.
