Detective Nasunbo is a supporting character in the anime Uso Tantei Tomanto, identified as an eggplant who serves as a police inspector in the town of Vegitown. His demeanor is characterized by a noticeable lack of energy, as he appears to be an officer who would much rather be napping than actively working on cases. This lazy or perpetually tired disposition provides a contrasting dynamic to the more enthusiastic main characters. Despite his apparent lethargy, Nasunbo holds the official position of detective, making him a figure of authority within the story's setting. He works alongside the protagonist Tomanto, a kindhearted tomato who solves mysteries, and Pucchi, a self-assured cherry tomato. Nasunbo's role in the narrative is that of a collaborator who is drawn into the small-scale mysteries that unfold around town, even if his involvement seems reluctant. The character maintains a consistent personality across the series' run, with the show's focus remaining on its episodic, lighthearted mysteries rather than deep character arcs. In the television version of the anime, which began airing in March 2026, the character is voiced by actor Atsuya Natsuyagi.
