Do you feel uncomfortable with “Inoue Toro” drinking “Children’s Beer”?Cute mascot character has a drinking problem

New goods from “Dokodemo Issho” will be released from May 14th (Tuesday). So, the people in the area are getting excited about the fact that there is a product featuring Toro Inoue drinking “Children's Beer''.

◆Was Toro drinking “children’s beer” rather than “real beer”?
Toro, who served as a mascot character for the PlayStation in the past, and is still active in various activities these days, has a cute side that contrasts with his cute appearance.

In the movie, Toro is often shown drinking beer, with the player giving Toro draft beer as a gift, and in “Holiday with Toro'', he stops at a snack bar while traveling and asks for a beer.

Users at the time seemed to think that what Toro was drinking was “real beer.” However, the fact that this product is called “Children's Beer'' has people wondering, “I thought I was just drinking regular beer, but it turned out to be a children's beer!?''

◆Perhaps Toro is also feeling a little embarrassed?
Hironori Takahashi, the director of the first Dokodemo Issho, also responded to this topic with an X, saying about the children's beer setting, “This is my first time hearing about it.I've been drinking beer and hot sake since the first generation, and I've been going to clubs (where people dance) at night. That's about it, so I'm sure those people are adults.”

However, he also commented, “Well, just because you're an adult doesn't mean you can't drink children's beer.''

It is unclear whether Toro, the new product, was just drinking children's beer on a whim, or whether Toro, who is also a popular mascot character, was changed to children's beer because it was thought that it would be bad for him to drink alcohol.

In today's world where compliance is being called out, Toro may be feeling a bit narrow-minded.
