Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Anpanman is Japan's most successful children's character ever, outselling even Hello Kitty in some metrics. He's been a cultural institution since 1973.
Creator Takashi Yanase was literally saved from starvation by an anpan (sweet bean bun) during WWII—hence a hero who feeds others with his own head.
