"101" is "hyakuichi" (ひゃくいち・百一) in Japanese when you are talking about the number.

However, words used for counting items differ in pronunciation from counting numbers, so that, for example, the numeral in the name of the popular animated film "101 Dalmations" would be said "hyakui[ppigi]," (百一匹) with the final "chi" part of the pure or bare number being dropped and replaced by a doubling of the initial sound of the following "word," which is an ending used to indicate what type of thing is being counted. (In my example, 匹 is the counting word indicating that medium-size animals are being counted.)
