If I remember from Futenma correct that means "friends"?? Anyone know for sure?
I remember it cause they refered to the crabs as "little friends" and it was something like - chisi tomodachi - I think.

You are right on. Tomodachi does mean friend. Served in Japan from 53-54 and did manage to pick up some local dialect. I wonder how?
