Kogepan
Almost as cute as Po, my current obsession: Kogepan! What is this brown round eyed creature? Well, here it is, the story of Kogepan and all his friends.

It all starts in a Bakery, where tiny buns were made for sale. The balls of yellow dough were placed on a tray, and pushed into a very hot oven. These Doughballs are happy little things, full of excitement and promise. But! An unfortunate Doughball was accidentally pushed off the Tray, and was left in the hot oven for far too long.

By the time the Baker rescued him, his head was all brown and over-baked. He could no longer be sold, and the Baker named him Kogepan.

Now, Kogepan was an angry, angry Bun. He would sit alone by himself, and sulk about his plight. He left home many times, and took to the bottle (of milk) for solace.

Sometimes, a very jaded Kogepan would lecture the new Doughballs, about the cruelty of life outside the Oven. Kogepan felt he needed to teach the happy little Doughballs the truth.

But Kogepan wants to be a good Bun. He tries to improve his plight by reading a lot of books. Especially the one about How to be a Good Bun.
