Céline Orgelle Kentsop (4 May 1970 – 4 September 2024), also known under the pseudonym Mami Ton,[1] was a Cameroonian actress.[2]

Born in Loum on 4 May 1970,[3] Kentsop aspired to become a nurse as a child.[4] However, after failing to reach her dream, she moved to Douala in 1992 in search of work.[5] There, she met Flobert Tankou, who introduced her to acting.[4] Director and producer Ebenezer Kepombia [fr] introduced her to the world of film.[4]

Kentsop became an ambassador of the Association des personnes préférées, in which she campaigned for the rights of amputees alongside her daughter Mirette.[2] She claimed to be the widow of Antoine Tohe, who was known for his impersonations of President Paul Biya. She was the mother of four children and grandmother of six.[6]

Kentsop died of a hemorrhagic stroke in Douala, on 4 September 2024, at the age of 54.[7]
