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.
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.
