The Osaka Metro Imazatosuji Line (今里筋線, Imazatosuji-sen) is a rapid transit line of Osaka Metro, running from Itakano Station in Higashiyodogawa-ku to Imazato Station in Higashinari-ku, all within Osaka city. Its official name is Rapid Electric Tramway Line No. 8 (高速電気軌道第8号線), and in MLIT publications, it is written as Line No. 8 (Imazatosuji Line) (8号線（今里筋線）). Station numbers are indicated by the letter I. The line first opened, at its present length, on Christmas Eve (24 December) 2006.^[1]

The line color on maps, station signs, and train livery is golden orange (柑子色, kōji-iro, Munsell code 5YR6.5/14). The line's symbol is a capital I on a solid golden-orange roundel; while all other lines use Parisine for their mark, the "I" of the Imazatosuji Line has serifs, similar to Verdana.
