Shinnyuu Shain Tooru-kun (新入社員とおる君) or Konami no Shinnyuu Shain Tooru-kun (コナミの新入社員とおる君) is an arcade game released by Konami in 1984. It was later brought to the SG-1000 in Japan. An unlicensed version was also released for the Sega Master System in South Korea.

During its initial development, Shinnyuu Shain Tooru-kun was known as Mikie (マイキー) and took place in a school, in which the player character, Mikie, would wander around headbutting people in an attempt to skip classes. However following its location test, the decision was made to change the theming to an office setting. Western releases use the original Mikie design.

Gameplay

In Shinnyuu Shain Tooru-kun players control "Tooru-kun" attempting to escape work. There are four main screens connected by three hallways, in which Tooru-kun has to collect enough hearts to spell a phraseand progress. The SG-1000 version is missing the "Dance Studio" screen and has fewer unique enemies.

Whereas the arcade version has a different music track for each screen, the SG-1000 just has one; a version of the 1964 The Beatles song "A Hard Day's Night". In the arcades, Konami had a license from JASRAC to use this (and the 1961 Phil Medley and Bert Berns single, "Twist and Shout"), but it is not known if the track is being used legally here.
