Retsuko (アグレッシブ烈子, Aguresshibu Retsuko) is a red panda Sanrio character. The Kanji character "retsu" (烈) means "fury" or "rage." She is an office worker whose life at work is usually frustrating. Instead of releasing it on her coworkers, she holds back her rage. She lets out all of that anger by singing death metal at the local karaoke club.
