Kogepan: Pan mo Game o Yarurashii…

Kogepan is a Japanese character from the company San-X, who, like Sanrio creations Hello Kitty and Badtz Maru, can be found in books, anime, toys, stationery, and a number of other formats. The character is a burnt red bean bread bun who lives in a panya (Japanese bakery), trying to fit in and make friends with the other bread items. The name comes from kogeru, meaning to burn or char, and pan, a gairaigo word taken from Portuguese and meaning bread.

There are a number of other characters (breads) in the panya with Kogepan, including ichigopan (strawberry bread), kireipan (beautiful bread), kuriimupan (a burnt cream bread), and Sumipan, a bread even more burnt than Kogepan.

Other Characters:
– Kuriimupan (creamy bread) is also a burnt bread like me. We are very good friends and we always drink beer (milk) together and often run away from home.
– Kireipan, as known as the pretty breads. They are delicious and unlike me, they are not burnt. I am always jealous of them.
– Sumipan is even more burnt than me. He is called the charcoal bread and he is also my very good friend.
– Ichigopan is the latest addition to the family. He is the strawberry cream bread and unlike the other bread, he is pink in color.

Kogepan – Pan mo Game wo Yarurashi is a collection of puzzles with some mini games features the characters of the series.
