"He is the main character of the anime, whose head is a bun made by Jam Ojisan. His name comes from the fact that he is a man with a head made of bread (Japanese: pan, a loanword from the Portuguese word meaning "bread") that is filled with bean jam (Japanese: an) called an anpan. His weakness is water or anything that makes his head dirty. He regains his health and strength when Jam Ojisan bakes him a new head and it is placed on his shoulders. Anpanman's damaged head, with Xs in his eyes, flies off his shoulders once a new baked head lands. He was created when a shooting star landed in Jam Ojisan's oven while he was baking.
He has two special attacks called: An-punch and An-kick (with stronger variations of both). When Anpanman comes across a starving creature or person, he lets the unfortunate creature or person eat part of his head. He also has super hearing in that he can respond to anyone that calls his name out in distress from anywhere in the world." Thank You Wikipedia!
What's not to like? Near our Mouse House is an Anpanman Museum Shop, with a play area for young patrons to get acquainted and test out toys while mom and dads shop. Jackson LOVES it, especially the little Japanese kiddies who are waiting for him. Here are two, okay three pics from our last visit, two inside, one outside, clearly... AN-PAN!!!
Here he is chatting to Anpanman on his An-Pan Phone, discussing (I'm sure) his new Anpanman socks and shoes. Shoes in Jackson-speak somehow has an extra syllable, "Shoe-zuh!"
(ps/ Doesn't he look like his cousin Lucas in this pic? So cute!)
