Ton, a domestic pig, serves as director of the accounting department at Carrier Man Trading Co., Ltd. Known for his sexist remarks and domineering demeanor, he relentlessly belittles subordinates—particularly Retsuko—overloading them with work while dismissing women’s professional capabilities. Yet sporadic moments of empathy surface: he offers Retsuko guidance during personal struggles and privately acknowledges her leadership potential, suggesting grudging respect.

His authoritarian management stems from generational values forged by his own grueling early career, referenced during a drunken admission of past hardships. These experiences fuel his rigid demands for silent endurance of workplace strain. Despite technological incompetence, he excels in accounting through traditional practices, relying on manual calculations and a gleaming golden abacus as emblems of his old-school ethos.

Contradictions define his personal life. Though visibly cowed by his teenage daughters and uneasy at family gatherings, he displays their photos prominently and prioritizes their security. Corporate restructuring tests his loyalty when he defies orders to lay off his team, resulting in demotion and resignation. Post-retirement, he takes a convenience store job, initially avoiding Retsuko out of bitterness over her inadvertent role in his downfall. Their uneasy truce evolves into collaboration as he aids her Death-Voice channel’s finances, applying his exacting accounting standards with characteristic intensity.

Interactions with sycophantic subordinate Komiya and favored employee Tsunoda—whose manipulative charm he tolerates—underscore his layered workplace relationships. Once a simplistic antagonist, Ton gradually confronts obsolete ideologies, familial tensions, and the fallout of corporate machinations, embodying a flawed figure navigating shifting professional and personal landscapes.
