Kantoku (Japanese: Kantoku) is a character of the day who appeared in Dig Those Diglett. Since he was not given an English name, this article will refer to him by his Japanese name.

A construction worker, Kantoku was fed up with the Diglett that were interrupting the Gaiva Dam project. At one point, he was so desperate to get them removed, he recruited Trainers from all over Kanto to help eliminate the Ground Pokémon. Among them were Ash and Gary. However, when released, all the Pokémon went back into their Poké Balls. Kantoku was even more baffled by these latest developments, and it only made him more annoyed.

Later that night, he observed the Diglett and Dugtrio helping maintain the environment. Realizing that the Gaiva Dam was getting in their way, he decided to abandon the project and leave the forest alone.
