Ton is the director of the accounting department and the primary antagonist of the Netflix Original series Aggretsuko. He is Retsuko's direct boss and makes her work life extremely difficult. Ton's appearance is based on the Large White Pig. He has pink skin across his entire body and is very overweight. In the shorts, Ton is constantly sweating and wiping it away with a handkerchief. He is seen both in and out of work wearing a white dress shirt, green tie, black pants, and brown shoes. It's hard to say what Ton is really like. Towards Tsunoda, he is always blushing and showing off his golfing skill, giving her slack for not finishing her work (then passing it off onto Retsuko). Towards Retsuko, he is rude, sexist, and goes out of his way to make her work day more difficult. But when Retsuko was going through a rough patch during her relationship, Ton could tell she was having a hard time and not only gave her slack at work, but also gave her some heartfelt advice. He doesn't seem to have much interaction with male employees besides Komiya, but all of the employees are extremely disturbed when Ton acts nice.
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.
