About

Token is a member of the boy's 4th grade class. He is the richest kid in South park and also the only black kid. In one instance, Cartman got arrested and sent to juvie hall after throwing a rock at Token's head. Token is also a very gifted singer and can play a mean bass guitar. When he's not slapping the bass, however, he's teaming up with the infamous superhero squad Coon and Friends. His secret identity: "Tupperware!"
