Assume that F is a field with char F = 2. The Racah algebra is a unital associative F-algebra defined by generators and relations. The generators are A, B, C, D and the relations assert that [A, B] = [B, C] = [C, A] = 2D and each of [A, D] + AC − BA, [B, D] + BA − CB, [C, D] + CB − AC is central in. The Bannai-Ito algebra BI is a unital associative F-algebra generated by X, Y , Z and the relations assert that each of {X, Y } − Z, {Y, Z} − X, {Z, X} − Y is central in BI. It was discovered that there exists an F-algebra homomorphism ζ : → BI that sends A → (2X−3)(2X+1) 16 , B → (2Y −3)(2Y +1) 16 , C → (2Z−3)(2Z+1) 16. We show that ζ is injective and therefore can be considered as an F-subalgebra of BI. Moreover we show that any Casimir element of can be uniquely expressed as a polynomial in {X, Y } − Z, {Y, Z} − X, {Z, X} − Y and X + Y + Z with coefficients in F.
