Tokuto-kun (トクト君, named after the Japanese onomatopoeia for a pouring sound) is an NPC found in one the southeastern mall room of the Mall.

Overview

Tokuto-kun's idle animation.

Tokuto-kun's appearance is that of a violet, top-heavy geometric shape with spindly limbs (which are difficult to see in-game due to them being similar in color to the room's floor), red eyes, and a strange spout of red liquid trickling from a cavity in the top of his head. He seems very preoccupied with the liquid dripping from its head, scampering about the room as he watches it trickle down. This affair may be the reason why Tokuto does not run away from Madotsuki while the Knife is equipped, unlike most other NPCs.

When interacted with, he will tip over as the red liquid continuously leaks onto the floor, accompanied by a continuous heartbeat sound. Tokuto-kun will remain immobile in this pouring state until re-entering the room. Even if the Stoplight effect is used, the flow will not stop. If the Cat effect is used, he will not be moved, though the heartbeat sound emitting from him will briefly speed up. The Knife effect can still be used to kill him while he is pouring, which may be necessary if he is blocking the doorway.

Trivia

The English Steam version does not have the heartbeat sound while Tokuto-kun is tipped over due to the file not being renamed correctly.
- Oddly, the Namekuji use the same sound file as Tokuto-kun's heartbeat when interacted with but do not have this error.
Tokuto-kun's design might be a reference to Salvador Dalì's painting "Apparatus And Hand" (1927). Both Tokuto-kun and the painting share similarities in both geometric shape and the viscous liquid being spouted from within said geometrical figure. A similar structure can be found in the background of one of the White Desert paths.

+'''Tokuto-kun''' (トクト君, named after the Japanese onomatopoeia for a pouring sound) is an [[Yume Nikki:List of Characters|NPC]] found in one the southeastern mall room of the [[Yume Nikki:The Mall|Mall]].
 ==Overview==
-'''Tokuto-kun''', also known as just '''Tokuto''', is an [[List of Characters|NPC]] found in one of the side rooms in [[The Mall]]. He plays no important role in the dream world, but is an interesting character to visit.

+Tokuto-kun's appearance is that of a violet, top-heavy geometric shape with spindly limbs (which are difficult to see in-game due to them being similar in color to the room's floor), red eyes, and a strange spout of red liquid trickling from a cavity in the top of his head.

-His appearance is that of a violet, top-heavy geometric shape with spindly limbs, large red eyes and a strange spout of red liquid  which may or may not be blood trickling from a cavity in the top of his head.  Tokuto seems very preoccupied with it, scampering about his room as he watches it run down his body.
+When interacted with, he will tip over as the red liquid continuously leaks onto the floor, accompanied by a continuous heartbeat sound. Tokuto-kun will remain immobile in this pouring state until re-entering the room. Even if the [[Yume Nikki:Effects#Stoplight|Stoplight]] effect is used, the flow will not stop. If the [[Yume Nikki:Effects#Cat|Cat]] effect is used, he will not be moved, though the heartbeat sound emitting from him will briefly speed up. The Knife effect can still be used to kill him while he is pouring, which may be necessary if he is blocking the doorway.

-Tokuto exhibits all the normal reactions to the [[Effects#Knife|Knife]], [[Effects#Cat|Cat]] and [[Effects#Stoplight|Stoplight]] effects.<br />

-When interacted with, he will stand still and tilt over to the side, pouring an endless stream of the red liquid from the top of his head onto the floor. He will not stop this until Madotsuki leaves the room and comes back later.

-That the fluid in Tokuto-kun's head seems to be blood is evidenced subtly. After interacting with him, using the cat effect while he is pouring will cause the flow to speed up briefly. The bubbling rhythm sounds very similar to a beating heart, and also speeds up with the flow.

-==Tokuto's Room==
-[[File:Mall_Poster_4.png|thumb|left|160px|Fan-art of the poster in Tokuto-kun's room]]Tokuto's room is a strange place. It has a chair that Madotsuki can sit on and a poster on the wall depicting some strange image with unreadable text, interpreted in the fan art to the left.<br />
-The most prominent feature in the room would probably be the large pool of red liquid in the floor, which seems to be an accumulation of the same substance that Tokuto-kun produces from the cavity on his head. It has a seemingly lumpy or bubbly texture.<br />
-What this room is supposed to be or resemble - if anything at all - is very ambiguous.
-==Interpretation==
-One interpretation of the poster believes it shows a picture of an egg being fertilized by sperm, which would help to support some [[Theories|theories]] regarding Madotsuki's association with pregnancy. The red liquid ties into the idea of menstruation, suggesting themes of miscarriage or infertility.
