Question of the cultural sumbolism of squid

This post is a question about japan’s culture, i have heard the ladybug is seen as lucky in Japanese culture, as well as frogs being seen as a sign that something good will return in your life. In that same vein, I was wondering what squid symbolize in Japanese culture, and was surprised to find very little solid information when researching. This surprised me as the squid is obviously extremely important to japan’s food industry. Wondering if anyone knows how the squid is viewed symbolically.
