Tonkatsu

A common piglet living in the squalor of a poor farmer's care in the Wang Kingdom, his life was changed forever when bandits tried to make a quick meal out of him, only to be saved at the last moment by the skilled and mysterious warrior known only as the Cardboard Tube Samurai.

Although the young warrior tried to return the piglet to his original owner, the young porcine later slipped away in the night and began to loyaly follow the Cardboard Tube Samurai in his many adventures. Whether this was due to some dimly-recognized sense of love or duty is up for debate. The young Samurai ironically named the piglet "Tonkatsu".

Traveling together for many years, the Cardboard Tube Samurai passed the incredible secrets of his might and skills only down to loyal Tonkatsu, which was unfortunate because Tonkatsu lacked both the ability to employ them, demonstrate them, or speak.

Long after the Cardboard Tube Samurai dissapeared into legend, Tonkatsu continued his journeys in the name of his mentor, eventually giving his life to stop the destruction of the town of Ko Sha. In his memory, the people of Ko Sha forbade the consumption of pork products and built the Cha Lo To Wu Eb ("Temple of the Englightend Pig"), a gigantic shrine where people and farm animals may live in harmony.
