Currypanman stands as a core character in the Anpanman universe. Crafted by Uncle Jam, he appears as Anpanman's younger brother in the manga, though the anime leaves his birth origins unaddressed. His distinct form features a brown lemon-shaped head filled with curry, complemented by an orange uniform bearing a lemon emblem, a yellow cape, gloves, boots, and a white belt. His personality radiates cockiness, pride, and intense self-confidence, exceeding even Shokupanman's narcissism. Yet, he balances this with kindness and generosity, especially in his eagerness to share his spicy curry. He champions a "spicy" philosophy of excitement and risk-taking, fueling frequent clashes with Shokupanman's cautious nature. Despite their arguments, they maintain a close partnership. He readily dismisses matters he considers unimportant. His key abilities include the signature Curry-punch and Curry-kick, akin to Anpanman and Shokupanman's moves, though he often adds a distinctive wind-up before punching. His most notable power is Curry Spit, expelling the scalding curry stored in his head. This serves both as a weapon to blind foes and sustenance for allies. Overuse shrinks his head, weakening him. He also performs combined attacks like the Double Punch (with one ally) and Triple Punch (with two allies), typically alongside Anpanman, Shokupanman, or occasionally Melonpanna. External influences trigger several transformations. Injections of extremely spicy curry from antagonists like Baikinman induce a "Fiery Currypanman" state marked by uncontrollable fury and indiscriminate attacks. Consuming specially formulated curry, such as from Batakoko and the Spice Prince, transforms him into "Spicy Currypanman," boosting his heat-based powers and cold resistance. Conversely, ingesting curry mixed with mint from Mint-chan turns him into "Refreshed Currypanman," adopting a polite and calm demeanor similar to Shokupanman. His standard equipment includes a cooking pot for transporting curry during flight. In specific western-themed stories, he wields dual pistols firing curry projectiles. Relationships are central to his role; he forms a key heroic trio with Anpanman and Shokupanman. He recognizes Uncle Jam and Butterko as creators, Shokupanman as an older brother figure, and Anpanman as a younger brother. He also claims Rollpanna, Melonpanna, Creampanda, and an original character named Pumpkinpanna as siblings. His pet dog is named Cheese. His narrative arc consistently reinforces his role as a loyal, though temperamental, ally, emphasizing his commitment to aiding others through his unique abilities and culinary generosity despite his flaws and occasional transformations.
