Good morning
There are canonically blind and visually impaired octolings and inklings
I just got back from a trip in time to play the last two hours of splatfest, when i noticed something.

Tactile pads on the ledge. In fact, they’re everywhere. Ive played nearly 2000 hours in this game and i never really paid attention to them, because for us humans, they’re commonplace.
But in inkopolis? You dont see blind characters. But we know they exist, because there wouldn’t be any point in installing the pads if there was no need for them.
“But Pieeeeee, maybe they’re just for aesthetic purposes? Maybe theyre only in the pancake vs waffle fest?”

They’re in the square too, in their metal american form. In front of the crosswalk.
Plus, according to Wikipedia they are both difficult to install and expensive, so there would be 0 point in them if they werent needed.
Tldr blind & visually impaired cephalokids exist in splatoon canon
