Toro (full name Toro Inoue), also known as the Sony Cat, is a fictional character created by Sony Computer Entertainment. He is an anthropomorphized cat who participates in numerous events and tries to act like a human.
Toro first appeared in the PlayStation game Doko Demo Issyo, and has since appeared in every PlayStation platform. While not as popular in the west, he serves as Sony's mascot in Japan - in particular, of the PlayStation Network.
The character is an anthropomorphized white cat of a super deformed design style. Toro is characterized by its big, trapezoid-shaped face, a rectangular-shaped body, and its vast variety of face expressions. Toro's family name originated from a debugger called Toro 'Inoue'.
Toro first appeared in July 1999 as the main character (chatterbot) in the video game Doko Demo Issyo (also transliterated as Doko Demo Issho and meaning "Together Anywhere") on the Sony PlayStation, and included support for the PocketStation.
Doko Demo Issyo - Toro to Nagareboshi: One clear night, Toro and a human friend named Pokebi are peering out a window in the hopes of spotting a shooting star. One whizzes by with the quickness and Toro makes his wish. Thrice. Although the star appeared to be streaking across the sky, Toro's eyes grow as big as saucers when he realizes that the star has miraculously changed course and is now headed directly for him and Pocket Biscuit (Pokebi). A bright light, a roaring sound and the sight of Toro leaping to safety ensues.
After the collision, Toro is bequeathed with the shooting star's duties and Toro goes into the business of fulfilling wish requests from woodland animals and human folks around town. Played in interactive fashion, Toro chats with and works on the plight of wishers...
