☆ こげぱん kogepan

Monday, December 15, 2008, 12:22 PM.

Kogepan (こげぱん, 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.

The anime series, animated by Studio Pierrot and produced by Pony Canyon, consisted of ten 4-minute shorts, the majority of which introduce simple aspects of the character.

There have been three children's picture books published in the Kogepan series, written & drawn by Takahashi Miki:

こげぱん:パンにも出会いがあるらしい... (Kogepan: Even Among Bread, They Meet One Another)
こげぱん:パンにもいろいろあるらしい... (Kogepan: Even Among Bread, There Are Many Kinds)
こげぱん:パンのしあわせってなんだろう... (Kogepan: What Is the Happiness of Bread?)

Trivia
Kogepan is seen in Willow and Tara's room in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "The Body".
