Steps

1

Add the soy sauce to the rice and mix until the color is even.
2

Wrap up about half of the rice in plastic wrap to form the head. Don't make it too thick. Make shallow dents where the eyes and mouth will go.
3

Make half-moon rice balls for the ears. Make a dent in the middle with your thumb.
4

They should look the same.
5

Use the remaining rice to make a small, Mickey Mouse-shaped rice ball. Check that the shape fits over the rice ball from Step 2.
6

Mix the bonito flakes with a bit of soy sauce and coat the rice ball from Step 2 with it.
7

Put Step 5 on top of Step 6, wrap in plastic wrap, and lightly press them together.
8

Coat Step 3 with the bonito flakes as well.
9

Put the head into the bento box.
10

Cut out 2 circles from the konbu to make the eyes.
11

Make the other facial features from the nori. Use a toothpick to apply a bit of mayonnaise to the eyes and it's done.
12

The eyes will look even more real if you put a circle of nori on top of the kombu. You could make it even easier by just using nori for everything.
