The number "12-25" (the date of Christmas) appears throughout the film: the number on the keyring, the cab fare (12,250 yen), a stopped alarm clock, the address in the newspaper ad, the cab license plate.
Toward the beginning of the movie, they pass by a convenience store, in the background you can see the theatrical posters for Perfect Blue (1997), Millennium Actress (2001), and Tokyo Godfathers itself. All three films were directed by Satoshi Kon.
This movie is an extremely loose remake of 3 Godfathers (1948).
In this film, buildings that look like faces appear in over a dozen scenes, sometimes representing the feelings of the characters. Satoshi Kon describes this in his "Tokyo Godfathers miscellaneous notes"as follows. "When I bought my new digital camera, I started taking pictures of such "faces of the buildings" for fun, but I thought it would be a shame to let it end up as just a hobby. so I decided to use them in this film as symbols of the pantheistic gods, the eight million gods that have existed in Japan since ancient times."
Yakuza boss Ota's car number is "8893". In Japan, "893" is a number that represents the yakuza in a cryptic way in modern times, and is actually said to be the origin of the word "yakuza," because Adding 8 (ya), 9 (ku), and 3 (za) gives us 0 for first place, which is the lowest score in a Japanese card game similar to baccarat.
"Hana: I am a mistake made by God. In my heart, I am a woman. Gin: Women can have children. Hana: What if a miracle like the Virgin Mary getting pregnant... was to happen to a homo? [to soup kitchen server] Hana: Better give me a little extra. I'm eating for two."
"'Angel' Drag Queen: What is your desire? My magic? Or an ambulance? Gin: A- Ambulance... 'Angel' Drag Queen: Well! Aren't you rude!"
