Anpanman Tops Bandai's Ranking of "Most Favorite Character"

 

Bandai, the most successful toy company in Japan, announced this year's result of the annual survey "Who is your children's favorite character?" on its official site on June 28. The survey was conducted among 2,000 Japanese parents who have 0-12 year old children. No surprise, Takashi Yanase's Anpanman, a hero with an edible head made of "pan" (bread) that is filled with "an" (red bean paste), wins the first spot of the boy's and girl's combined ranking for 11 consecutive years since 2002 when the survey began. The second of the combined ranking (and the top of the girl's) is a magical girl anime PreCure series defeating Pokemon/Pocket Monster two years in a row.
