I don't know about you, but I find I'm rather partial to Kogepan.

Hey! Somebody took a bite of him!
I love that story, does it ever continue?

I'm not sure... as far as I can tell he is a sort of 'merchandising character' from San-X, which I am assuming is somehow connected to Sanrio, the Hello Kitty people. Their web page is here: http://www.san-x.co.jp

They seem to have a limitless supply of little characters who are pieces of one or another kind of food, and all of which are pretty funny. [profile] avphibes posted a link to some of them awhile back and I found myself taken with Kogepan.

Oooh here's an English version:

I like Kogepan's snowman. And milk makes Kogepan drunk, the page says, "But nobody knows why".
