Tonkatsu

The Lovable Leftover!

Tonkatsu is one of the most adorable misfits from Sumikko Gurashi, San-X’s beloved collection of shy and quirky characters who love to hang out in the corner. Tonkatsu is a fried pork cutlet... well, mostly. Composed of 1% meat and 99% fat, Tonkatsu was left behind on the plate because he’s just a little too oily to eat. But don’t worry—he’s perfectly happy spending time with his best friend, Ebi (a tiny shrimp tail), and the rest of the Sumikko gang!

With his round, golden-brown appearance and underdog charm, Tonkatsu reminds us that even the leftovers deserve love. Whether he’s trying to stay cozy in a warm corner or tagging along on small adventures, he’s a fan favorite who brings joy wherever he goes.
