Resasuke is a 25-year-old sales office worker at the same company as Retsuko and is a support character of the Netflix Original series Aggretsuko. Resasuke is a daydreamer who has an unusual fascination for canned coffee and plants. Just like Retsuko, Resasuke's appearance is based on the Red Panda. Unlike Retsuko, Resasuke has light yellow fur and lacks the distinctive white stripe under his eyes. He has white ears, white and tan around his muzzle, tan fur tufts in his ears, a mole under his nose, and his mouth is always ajar. During work, Resasuke wears a white dress shirt, blue tie, and matching gray suit jacket and pants. While out on dates, Resasuke wears a white shirt, blue suit jacket, khaki-colored pants, and brown shoes. When Retsuko was in love with him, she sees him differently than how he truly appears. His eyes are angled with stars in them, the white markings are shaped like eyebrows, his mole moves to under his left eye, and his voice becomes deeper. Resasuke is a daydreamer at best who constantly spaces out to the point of frequently missing his train stop and being late to work. Resasuke also easily gives into peer pressure, mostly notably when he dated Retsuko despite not having feelings for her simply because Manumaru told him to. He is very quiet and usually doesn't speak unless spoken to, and doesn't seem to be able to read social cues. His studio apartment is full of plants, which he takes good care of and sometimes talks to, showing that he prefers interacting with plants over people.
Aggretsuko
Some offices have stereotypical dynamics: the chauvinistic pig of a boss who never does any real work; the employees whose goal is to suck up to the boss; the ones whose lives seem perfect; and the individuals who have all the actual work pushed onto them. Retsuko the red panda is in the last group, as she stays late most nights to make up the work her coworkers are too lazy to do themselves. Her relief from the stress of her everyday life comes in the form of singing death metal at a local karaoke club. Night after night, Retsuko channels her grief into a microphone and considers the place to be her own personal sanctuary. But as she moves further away from her comfort zone and the ideas people have of her, she discovers that letting others into her world of death metal may not be such a bad thing.
