Two Bokoichi the Freightening Car appear in this card's artwork; they're being pulled by this monster. In fact, the artwork of Dekoichi is essentially the artwork of Bokoichi as seen from in front of the train.
This monster is roughly based on a Japanese steam engine locomotive of the same name (Dekoichi). Close observation of this card's artwork and the artwork of Bokoichi the Freightening Car reveal it to have a 2-8-2 wheel configuration with a double bogie tender, and the nameplate on his forehead read DE-51, which, phonetically, is the same class number as the real prototype, a D51. This monster's effect and ability to draw more cards depending on the number of copies of Bokoichi the Freightening Car cards on the field relate to how a train delivers freight.
The said DE-51 code can also be read as De-ko-ichi(5=ko, 1=ichi), which is this card's name.
