Description
The character known as Company President serves as the chief executive officer of Carrier Man Trading Co., Ltd., a role he inherited as the firm's second-generation leader. He possesses the physical form of an African elephant, with pinkish-gray skin, large white tusks, and a short, stocky build. His typical attire consists of a navy blue double-breasted sailor jacket with yellow buttons, gray pants, black boots, and large circular-framed glasses.
His personality avoids confronting employees over inappropriate conduct and leans toward proposing childish, impractical business ideas that frequently waste resources. These proposals are often managed or dismissed by his secretary, Washimi, who effectively steers the company's operations. Nevertheless, he demonstrates authentic care for his staff, having once refused layoffs during an economic downturn because he viewed employees as family—a philosophy that later inspired department director Ton during another corporate crisis.
He experienced a significant health event when he suffered a heart attack, leading to a temporary resignation and hospitalization. An outside director, Himuro, was appointed temporary CEO during his absence. He later resumed leadership after recovering.
One of his long-standing projects involved creating an amusement park. An early concept, "Carrier Man Land," was rejected due to high costs, but a subsequent version named "Bubbly Land" was successfully opened. The attraction, themed around Japan’s 1980s corporate culture and targeting a middle-aged demographic, became a major commercial success.
He maintains a key professional relationship with his secretary, Washimi, who guides him in managing the company. She often manipulates him toward sensible decisions, such as shielding employees from harassment, and readily dismisses his frivolous ideas while remaining a loyal assistant. His decision to appoint Himuro as temporary successor—based on perceived competence and assertiveness—eventually triggered a major conflict within the accounting department.
His leadership style has been described as clueless, reflecting a detachment from daily operations, though his intentions are generally benevolent. His actions, or inaction, sometimes produce unintended consequences, such as inadvertently escalating disputes between managers and their subordinates.
