FILE 27 / 50Karakura Town / Kurosaki household
A small claim to belonging
Kon turns a small stuffed lion into a very loud presence, mixing comic frustration with a sincere wish to be treated as someone who matters.
BETWEEN TWO WORLDS
A modified soul who usually inhabits a plush toy, Kon becomes part of the Kurosaki household's unusual routine. He complains freely and dreams of a more impressive role. His ability to occupy Ichigo's body also gives him practical responsibilities, however little dignity he finds in the arrangement.
His comedy works best beside the question of personhood, allowing a seemingly disposable companion to insist that usefulness and appearance should not decide whether someone deserves consideration.
