As someone who’s never tried Tofu before, this doesn’t discourage me one bit. I still want to try it.

Given that he's so easily bullied, part of me would want to give the little man a hug and liberate him.
But then again, given that he is so easily bullied and given that he's good at sneaking up on people, another part of me would want to make him work for me as a process server.
I'd pay him adequately...mostly in Tofu.

"Ok so heres a spooky ghost story, the ice cream man, he uh, drives a truck that plays charming music and sells ice cream to kids"
"That's just an ice cream man"
"That's what I said, I know"
"No, like, literally that is a profession people have, they exist, they just sell ice cream"
"Oh... right well mine also has only one eye"
"Ok..."
"And the ice cream kills you"
"Of course it does"

"Don't eat food offered by random children" is honestly just good advice. You know they haven't washed their sticky child Blech.

My favorite high Protein tofu dish:
Soak diced tofu in your favorite soup base over night. (I use chicken broth or bullion cube)
Dice celery, onion, garlic and chicken.
Fry everything adding celery seeds.
And add a couple eggs to the frying mixture.
Season with soy sauce.
Sometimes I like to add bean sprouts and water chestnuts too.
Serve over rice or noodles.

This little guy is my favorite yokai . Its not evil, he is just a prankster . I find it kinda sad that other yokai bully the little guy because is weak and that makes me to love Tofukozo even more

IDK why I find it funny, the illustrations becoming more and more detailed (i like it) but linfamy's character is still the gingerbread man 😂

[arcticdino]

1:25 Wasn't really planning on eating the Tofu they're offering because I'm allergic, but now I have even more reasons

[yaboigamerdouji]

I would teach Tofu Boy to be strong and develop it’s cool Tofu creation powers

[turinmormegil]

basically, a guy ate street tofu that was secrety moldy and, thanks to that, featured a Chubbyemu case of his own

[thenoblepoptart]

I wonder if in the future historians will think Ronald McDonald was a mythological figure worshipped as a diety or something lol

[claudy_sky]

I have this crazy urge to hug him right now!

[viifaz]

the more modern version of this youkai: driving AE 86 and love drifting, you could tell he's coming by listening to the god-like BGM 😁

[SonicCloud]

Do you think Princess Peach is really just abusing some poor tofu Working him past his limits in a life where his only hope is to satisfy her will until the end of his days?? LOL

[carrioncrow]

Okay, but that monk at 3:00 happily munching tofu looks so adorable, ngl.

[SugarVampieArts]

Question: Does Tofu Kozo serve moldy tofu on purpose to poison people or is it accidental?

[TyxTheRedSnapper]

I just read the title: "But but ... He's calles Tofu Boy!?"
