Soy Sauce to the Rescue

Through a link on PsychicPants, I found my way to this lovely bit of Flash animation about the superhero Kikkoman, as in the brand of soy sauce. His superpower seems to involve squirting his special sauce on shrimp in need. There appear to be many resources for fans of the Kikkoman character at this site, including a picture gallery and possibly RPG games.
I notice there is a hero figure in the Flash animation with a tofu cube for a head. Is this a relative of Kikkoman? One of the many forms he takes? Or a sly reference to the tofudolls phenomenon?

Well, I was particularly intrigued that we were allowed the knowledge that despite running around buff, in his underwear, Kikkoman has a girl who lies naked under the covers with him: ergo, Kikkoman is Kikkohetero, oh! Maybe Tofuperson or Jarheadperson have other inclinations that we will discover in subsequent episodes.I only hope that this little nugget of info is not presented out of some undue fear of queer sauce by the public at large, but rather for entertainment purposes only.Go ahead and call me cynical. But, ever since I decoded my first Little Orphan Annie secret message, I view with un ojo amarillo anyone with a product specific crest on their pectorals or thighs.Which reminds me, T, sequentially speaking, do you have any tattoos?M ;-o

Joe:

Yes, inquiring minds want to know, does T. have any tattoos?I was surprised to learn that Kikkoman had a female friend, too, although I don't begrudge him for it. But, thhe Tofu-head guy had a nicer physique in my opinion.

Mark A. Hebert:

Joe,If you were to begrudge, I highly recommend the sodium-lite sauce, that way one doesn't bebloat while begrudging. Re: Tofu-head physique; soy is a protien building nutrient without the adipose inducing side effects! K magna feek!M...

Mark, How wonderful to see you here! I had not noticed the hetero moment the first time around--I was so bedazzled by Kikkoman himself I barely took in anything else. I cannot begrudge him his woman when he does such hard work squirting shrimp. On my second viewing, I also discovered the scene where the cat who has failed to put soy sauce on his omelet puts his face to the corner in shame. Joe, I did not discern any difference between the two physiques but I thought their posing was wonderful.
