The Laughing Salesman
Belly of the Tanuki

7.2
The handsome actor, Debara Nayami, must lose his pot belly to appear in a play beside a beautiful co-star. Moguro gives Debara a tanuki ornament to pray to if he feels tempted by sweets. The technique works and Debara becomes trim again while the tanuki becomes fatter. However, on opening night Debara receives a box of his favourite daifuku and eats them, causing his fat belly to reappear while he is on stage.
