Katsudon is a whole meal in one plate, consisting of four components: a large portion of rice, a breaded cutlet, vegetables, and fried or omelette eggs. It is believed that cutlets in thick breadcrumbs came to Japanese cuisine from France : the French word côtelette began to be read as katsuretsu or simply "katsu". In any supermarket you will find a whole section of such frozen cutlets: chicken, pork, vegetarian potato. It is katsu (and not sushi) that is perhaps the most popular youth food in Japan today , something like a burger for Japanese millennials.
