It’s how a typical Japanese croquette (koro-kke) looks like, under the crust it has minced beef and mashed potato, not a cutlet.

They're a lot smaller than one, too. I think people downvoting might not know what a schnitzel is.

Other Japanese croquette styles use potato and pork, curry rice with beef, or crab and white sauce.

Some are made broad and flat like a schnitzel or crab cake and others are more rounded and oblong.
