Tokikake

Tokikake, better known by his alias Chaton, is a Marine vice admiral.

Appearance
Tokikake has broad shoulders, an angular jawline, thin eyes, and a sharp nose. He also has a large mouth, high cheekbones, and thick eyebrows. He wears a dark-colored hat, a Marine jacket with a high collar similar to Issho's, and a button-down long-sleeved shirt underneath. His Marine jacket is unique in that it sports a gridline pattern design. He is often seen smoking a pipe.

Personality
As a Marine, Tokikake strongly believes in Justice, although he may have his own view of justice as he had no issues with Gion questioning Garp's lack of concern for his grandson, despite the latter being a pirate. He also seems to scare easily, as he panicked when a turtle car crashed in front of him on the golf course on Gran Tesoro. Despite this, he can be very relaxed and showed no concern over the threat of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin teaming up. He has a love for pretty women and will say "pretty woman" if speaking to one, such as Gion.

Issho
Tokikake has been stated to be friends with Fujitora.

Abilities and Powers
As a vice admiral, Tokikake is capable of using Haki, and has command over all soldiers ranked below him. He is strong enough to be considered for the promotion to admiral, despite ultimately not being selected.

During the Timeskip
During the timeskip, Tokikake was considered as a candidate to become one of the new admirals. However, he did not make the cut, as Issho and Ryokugyu attained the positions instead. He asked Momousagi out 100 times but was rejected each time.

One Piece Film: Gold
On Gran Tesoro, Tokikake played golf with several women around him. However, a turtle car driven by Monkey D. Luffy, Usopp, and Tony Tony Chopper suddenly arrived on the golf course, sending Tokikake into a panic.

Later, Tokikake was with Momousagi in the VIP lounge of the casino.

Reverie Arc
After the Marines intercepted a communication between Big Mom and Kaido, Chaton was at the Red Port talking with Garp and Gion about the possibility of the two Yonko teaming up to kill Monkey D. Luffy. Despite the tense situation, he remained mostly relaxed.

Trivia

 * Although he was not made admiral, his alias follows the scheme of the admirals' code-names being a color and an animal. Chaton (茶豚) literally means "brown pig", and the Japanese word for brown is cha-iro (茶色). Coincidentally, Chaton is also the French word for "kitten", which also fits the animal theme.
 * His appearance, like the rest of the admirals, is based off of a real actor. In this case, it is Kiyoshi Atsumi, of the Tora-san film series. His hat, haramaki, necklace, and jacket are of similar design.
