relaxing sunday - Kogepan (the burnt bread)
This Sunday, I would like to introduce to you one of my favourite Japan comic characters, the Kogepan (meaning “the burnt breand”).
In contrary to the “pretty bread”, the Kogepan is burnt and could not be sold. It is an outcast from the bakery shop and it is not welcome by the customers.
The Kogepan, due to it’s outcast position, it is a bit sad, lazy, not active, don’t care, self-pity….. Yet, it is able to make fun of its own situation and it always make fun on the “pretty bread”.
When everybody is focusing on successful and self-improvement, let’s see how this “natural born failure” faces its life. Very funny and interesting piece of work indeed, which makes us think a lot.

omg I LOVE KOGEPAN!!! When I was in Japan I bought a bunch of Kogepan books. They’re children’s books but they’re cute, hilirious, and easy to read so I couldn’t resist. haha ^_^
Nice vid. Must be expensive buying all those kogepan books.
I did not know KOGEPAN although residing in Japan !
Really nice video. Japanese thinking is different from that of the Western world, but I love it!
