Director Ton, a domestic pig, oversees the accounting department at Carrier Man Trading Co., Ltd., wielding authority with a brash, misogynistic demeanor. Known for demeaning subordinates like Retsuko through sexist comments and overwhelming assignments, his sharp accounting acumen and operational efficiency mask a resistance to technological change.

His dynamic with Retsuko shifts when her public defiance earns her the derisive nickname "Calendar" (or "Short-Timer"), hinting at precarious employment. Over time, he begrudgingly acknowledges her tenacity, covertly mentoring her during crises—urging her to prioritize self-care amid burnout—while maintaining a harsh exterior.

Corporate upheaval tests Ton’s loyalty when financial pressures demand layoffs. Defying orders to dismantle his team, he shields them as familial bonds, leading to his forced resignation. Concealing his job loss, he labors at a convenience store to provide for his family before reconciling and launching a joint business venture with them.

Collaborating with Retsuko on her Death Metal channel exposes his technological ineptitude, reigniting his nitpicking tendencies. Yet privately, he concedes her competence to his wife, noting she “has a good head on her shoulders when she uses it,” signaling muted respect.

Rooted in a cutthroat corporate past—marked by embezzling company funds—Ton clings to rigid traditionalism but adapts incrementally, accepting roles outside his expertise. Though persistently abrasive toward Retsuko, his later choices prioritize shielding both subordinates and family, weaving pride, duty, and unspoken regard into a layered legacy.
