Meiken Cheese is a small, light brown dog with short rabbit-like ears and a dark brown tail tip. Discovered as a starving puppy in the forest, he was rescued by Anpanman, who nourished him by sharing part of his own head—an act that secured Cheese’s permanent home at Uncle Jam’s bakery. Batako-san named him, cementing his role as a spirited companion within the bakery’s daily life. Cheese balances humor and heroism, often providing comic relief through exaggerated expressions and an insatiable appetite. Though prone to lounging, he rises to bravery in crises, aiding Anpanman by delivering vital head replacements or alerting allies to danger. His sharp intellect lets him grasp human speech, operate the Anpanman-go vehicle, and detect emergencies before others. Equipped with keen olfactory senses, he tracks scents to locate missing individuals. Over time, his posture shifted from four-legged trotting to frequent upright stances, though he reverts to canine curls while resting. His loaf-shaped doghouse outside the bakery mirrors his seamless fit into the whimsical world. Cheese shares a devoted bond with Batako-san, assisting her in baking tasks, and maintains a noted romantic tie to Rare Cheese. Though he communicates via barks, his “wise dog” status allows others to intuit his meaning. His past before rescue remains undefined, yet his loyalty as Anpanman’s helper never wavers. In *Fuwafuwa Fuwari to Kumo no Kuni*, he joins the core team supporting Anpanman and Fuwari, offering steadfast aid without driving pivotal plot points. His presence consistently underscores his role as a trusted, resourceful ally within the franchise’s adventurous framework.
