■ANPANMAN
 
Created by Takashi Yanase, Anpanman was first released in 1973 under the title Anpanman in a monthly picture book called Kinder Ohanashi Ehon. In 1988, the Nippon Television Network Corporation began broadcasting the anime adaptation Anpanman, which to date has exceeded 1,000 episodes and is still going strong. In 2009, the series was recognized by Guinness World Records as having the most characters in an animation series—a record that is still growing and remains unbroken. The stories of Anpanman and his many colorful friends can be enjoyed by children and parents alike. In a Bandai Children's Questionnaire, Anpanman has reigned as the most popular character among preschoolers for several years.
