Instead of deriving power from the sun, Anpanman gains his Superman-like strength from using his noggin...of course, it helps if your head is a giant Japanese bun filled with red bean. The hero also has a heart of gold, naturally: if the lads and lasses he saves are hungry, he doesn't think twice about offering bits of his head for sustenance, though ripping off pieces of his head weakens his strength considerably (not even Japanese ingenuity has figured a way around that one). Don't fret: Uncle Jam can bake a new head for Anpanman, post haste.


Baking features large in the world of Anpanman, populated by almost 1,800 characters since the late 80s (garnering an entry into the Guiness Book of Records). There's too many to describe, but here's my other two faves:


Here's an episode to get the full flavour of the show, but you'll need to bring your Japanese skills to the table:

Hi Joe,
My 2 year-old daughter loves Anpanman. Where can you get that doll? She'll go crazy for it!
Thanks!
Sorry Anon - Anpanman toys are hard to come by in the GVRD, and I don't think I've ever seen one in person where he's pulling off bits of his Anpanhead.
