8 = hachi in Japanese

Hachi-chan [dear little Hachi] (8-chan) “chahn”
Hachi-kun [young master Hachi] (8-kun) “koon”

In Japan, Hachi is the name of a well known dog loyal to his death to a master who had died many years before. There are statues to him in his honor.

Probably answered, and I do not know, but “u” as in “put” is a third alternative, often used afaik, in other languages.
