Description
Ton is a domestic pig serving as accounting director at Carrier Man Trading Co., Ltd. He possesses rosy brown skin, an overweight build, and a Duroc pig-inspired design. He consistently wears a white dress shirt, green tie, black pants, and brown shoes.
Initially a sexist and demanding superior, Ton subjects Retsuko to derogatory comments, excessive workloads, and patronizing behavior, labeling her his "least favorite employee." He nicknames her "Calendar" (or "Short-Timer" in Japanese media), implying tenuous job security. His management style involves practicing golf during work hours and delegating unfinished tasks from favored employees like Tsunoda to Retsuko. He exhibits generational attitudes, reminiscing about misusing company funds for personal benefits and resisting technological updates in accounting.
Beneath his abrasive exterior, Ton demonstrates unexpected depth. He possesses considerable accounting expertise, efficiently handling complex tasks despite technological illiteracy. During pivotal moments, he offers Retsuko mature advice on balancing relationships and work ethics. He privately acknowledges her potential to become a "boss" and later expresses respect for her capabilities. His loyalty surfaces when he refuses to identify employees for layoffs, resulting in his demotion. He hides this job loss from his family to avoid worrying them, taking a low-paying convenience store job instead.
Ton's relationship with his family is complex. He expresses intimidation toward his wife and teenage daughters, cringing at events like Family Appreciation Day, yet deeply cherishes them. He keeps their photos on his work computer and cites their support as vital. After his demotion, he eventually confides in them and collaborates professionally.
Following his Carrier Man departure, Ton joins Retsuko's Death Metal channel as an accountant. He continues to harass her over technical issues and errors, but their dynamic evolves into mutual reliance. His wife observes this shift, and Ton acknowledges Retsuko's competence, stating she has "a good head on her shoulders"—a significant departure from his earlier demeanour. He retains the "Calendar" nickname despite its derogatory origins.
His interactions with colleagues vary. He shares a golfing interest with Komiya, who admires him, but openly insults all subordinates during karaoke. He maintains a long-standing professional bond with Tsubone, another senior accounting employee resistant to change.
