Tonton

* Real-life info
* Fictional info

**Tonton** (**トントン**) is an active member of ○○ no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!. First appearing in a *Hearts of Iron 2* gameplay video, Tonton is a kind and diligent man who serves as Wrwrd's main video planner and editor. He is very competent in terms of gameplay and video making, leading him to be perceived as the group's most dependable member. He is known for planning and hosting *Tontsuku!*, a series of live broadcasts where fans can interact with members through *Minecraft*.

## Personality

Tonton is a very caring person. He is usually calm and well-behaved, which is why he often acts as a common sense person of the group. However, he can be very cold and harsh when others show incompetence, which can be seen during gameplays. He wouldn't hesitate to bluntly call out the other member's failure.

Tonton is an all-rounder when it comes to games. He has high player skills and is very adaptive. In team-based games, he naturally takes the role of a leader because of this. On the other hand, he appears to be very belligerent in battle royale games. He enjoys eating out of other people's misery, and would watch his opponents fight each other with a grin on his face.

## Appearance

Tonton's standing picture depicts him as an adult man with a large body (in some illustrations, he appears to have huge muscles, but in other illustrations he's just fat). He has neatly combed black hair and dark red eyes. His outfit is a complete Soviet Union military uniform colored green with red and yellow details (in terms of design, it seems to be based on the 73 uniform). He wears a pig head-shaped mask covering his head, but he also wears glasses underneath.

## Fictional Counterparts

Below are some depictions of Tonton in various works.

### *Cthulhu Mythos TRPG*

Tonton is one of the players in Wrwrd's "Cthulhu Mythos TRPG with Rich Personalities" video series, playing as himself. His appearance is similar to his standing picture. The only difference is that his hat is grey instead of green. He also wears a black tank top under his uniform.

### *Kaikou*

In his and Emile's gameplay of this TRPG, Tonton plays the role of **Takuda Takeshi** (**宅田 武史**), a 32-year-old journalist who gets caught up with fighting evil. He has a reputation as a good photographer at work, and is very agile despite his appearance. Takeshi appears as a short and chubby man with short, messy brown hair and brown eyes. He wears a white shirt underneath a grey suit, a pair of khakis with a brown belt, as well as brown loafers. He also wears a brown newsboy cap and a name tag holder around his neck.

### *Isekai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!*

In this story, Tonton was initially a humble elementary school teacher. But later, he became a margrave who governs Tonton Town, an autonomous region located west of the Koneshima Kingdom. He is a Liberalist and often finds himself at odds with mercenaries. He seems to be quite busy dealing with the town's residents and their reckless requests. Tonton is very caring of his former students, and would risk his life protecting them. Although he didn't seem to approve when Cino became the new leader of the Zomzom Group, he was still willing to save him when he got swallowed by a giant snake.

Although aesthetically similar, Tonton's appearance in the manga is different from his standing picture. He is depicted as an anthropomorphic pig with light pink skin and simplistic dot eyes. His uniform has a slightly different design, and he wears white gloves with one black stripe each on the wrist area.

### *Hell Doctor KuRaRe's Science Can Solve Everything!!*

In this manga, Tonton is an engineer for hire. Initially working at a certain research institute, he was eventually recruited by Gruppen to be his subordinate. He is an expert in engineering, but it seems that he has nothing else to offer. He also doesn't seem to have any skills to stop intruders. His overall appearance is similar to his standing picture, but the design of his outfit is more similar to his counterpart in the *Isekai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!* manga. He also wears a red scarf around his neck. It appears that he can't get the pig head mask off, but he seems to have no problem with it.

### *Makai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!*

**Schwein Tonton** (**シュヴァイン・トントン**) is a first-year student at Babyls Demon School and a member of Our Division. A demon with rank 2, he is known for his appearance that resembles a magical beast known as the Devil Pork. He is very skilled in handling magical tools and is very dependable. However, he is also known to be very gluttonous and obsessed with food, which seems to be a trait that comes from his family. His appearance is slightly different from Tonton's standing picture. He is depicted as an anthropomorphic pig with black horns and wings, as well as a tail with an arrowhead-shaped tip that curls up like a normal pig's tail. He wears the school's default male uniform, albeit colored green, and the eye holding his ribbon is replaced with a pin shaped like a pig's snout. He also wears brown school shoes and a green military-style hat. His winter outfit is basically the same, but with the addition of a green-colored hood.

## Etymology

His name is likely derived from the Japanese word for "Pig" (**豚**, *Buta*), which can be read as *Ton* instead.
