Shachou is a support character of the Netflix Original series Aggretsuko. He is the second generation CEO of Carrier Man Trading Co., Ltd., the trading firm that series protagonist Retsuko works for. The CEO's appearance is based off of the Asian Elephant. He has a pinkish-gray skin tone, large white tusks, and a short stocky body. It is unclear if the wrinkles on his face are due to him being an older age or simply because elephants are wrinkly. The CEO wears a navy blue double-breasted sailor jacket with yellow buttons, gray pants, black boots, and large circled framed glasses. Not much is known about the CEO, but he appears uncomfortable confronting his employees about their inappropriate workplace behaviors. Because of that, Washimi is easily able to keep him in line with his "new age business ideas" which are often times childish and largely a waste of company money.
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.
