Description
In the anime Magical Angel Creamy Mami, Bouffetout is the French name for the character known in the original Japanese version as Midori Kisaragi. He is a close friend and classmate of the protagonist Yu Morisawa and her friend Toshio Otomo, who is called Charlie in the French adaptation. Bouffetout is easily recognized by his chubby, round build, a physical trait that is reflected in the meaning of his French name.
Bouffetout has a gentle and sincere personality. He is a kind-hearted and loyal friend, often seen in the company of Toshio, and he harbors strong romantic feelings for Yu. Unlike the more complex and sometimes dismissive attitude Toshio shows toward Yu, Bouffetout is openly affectionate and earnest in his devotion to her. He is consistently shown to be supportive and caring, frequently wanting to give her gifts or spend time with her. One of his notable traits is his love for food, particularly the crepes and ice cream sold at Yu’s family shop, which is a recurring and endearing aspect of his character.
Within the story’s dynamic, Bouffetout serves as a key member of the trio of friends who share a normal school life, providing a contrast to the extraordinary secret life Yu leads as the idol Creamy Mami. His primary role is that of a steadfast friend and a gentle rival in love. His unrequited feelings for Yu create a tender subplot, highlighting the innocence of their childhood relationships. A significant moment in his character development occurs when he finally has a date with Yu. During this outing, he demonstrates considerable emotional maturity and selflessness; realizing that Yu’s heart truly belongs to Toshio, he willingly steps aside and arranges for Toshio to take his place, showing that he values Yu’s happiness above his own desires. This act of kindness allows him to eventually move on from his one-sided love.
His key relationships are centered on this trio. He is a close confidant and best friend to Toshio, and the two are often together. His most defining relationship is with Yu, whom he adores. While his feelings are not returned in the same way, his actions contribute to the story's resolution. In the subsequent OVA or movie, it is shown that Bouffetout ultimately finds happiness, meeting a girl named Ai with whom he forms a mutual and loving relationship, bringing his personal arc to a satisfying close.
In terms of notable abilities, Bouffetout possesses no magical or special powers, as he is a normal human boy. His most notable attributes are his unwavering loyalty, his kind heart, and his capacity for self-sacrifice. His ability to accept rejection gracefully and remain a good friend to both Yu and Toshio is his greatest strength within the narrative.
