it's actually the chinese five along with the chnese character for 20 so it's a total of 25. Japan uses the same characters for the chinese, so the 5 part is the same, however japan counts a little different than the chinese, even though they use the same characters. for this reason, japan doens't have a seperate character for twenty while china does. for reference, in japan they write 二十五　when they mean 25 and in china they write 廿五. as you can see it's a bit different.
