Superheros run the gamut in the amazing powers they have from super strength to blazing speed to invisibility or transformation powers to name just a few. There best known superhero in Japan, at least among kids, has a very unique talent or maybe it is more of a characteristic, you see his head is made out of sweet bean bread.

While a little out of the ordinary, Anpanman is no less effective in fighting evil and helping those in need of food by giving them a piece of his head to eat. Maybe not the most fearsome of superheros, he does make people happy as the emblem on his suit suggests. And no kryptonite will ever get in his way, though he does have to watch out for water (no one likes soggy sweet bean bread), his weakness, which is unfortunately a bit more common than kryptonite

For more info on Anpanman there is a good explanation site, Anpanmanland, and a list of episodes on another site. There is even an Anpanman museum in Japan
