I dont remeber the name but the dog and cat first appeared in the 1930's to encourage children to militarize under Nationalist Japan. Theres lots of tin toys of them. all military themed. The dog was 'army' and the cat was ' naval aviator'. some of the tins go for tens of thousands of dollars. |

That's Norakuro. He was indeed in the Japanese Imperial Army in the 30's-40's, but has been brought back now and again to promote the JSDF. |
