Anpanman/(アンパンマン)
- Voiced by: Keiko Toda (Japanese), Ghia Burns (English), Cristina Hernández (Latin American Spanish)
The main protagonist of the series. He was born from the last batch of anpans made by Uncle Jam as a group of shooting stars fell from the sky.
- Art Evolution: His eyes became bigger.
- Attack Its Weak Point: See Weaksauce Weakness.
- Baby Talk: Averted when he was first born. However, played straight when he transformed into one.
- Bat Signal: He has one, but this is used to signal Uncle Jam if his head is damaged.
- Bilingual Dialogue: In the Edutainment specials. At first, he had trouble understanding English in the early specials. He seemed to get better when he helped translate what Alpoo and Betan were saying to Melonpanna.
- Calling Your Attacks: AN-PUNCH!!
- DOUBLE-PUNCH!! whenever he pairs up with Shokupanman, Currypanman, Melonpanna, or Rollpanna.
- TRIPLE-PUNCH!! whenever he's paired with Shokupanman and Currypanman, or Melonpanna and Rollpanna.
- Characterization Marches On:
- In the early days of the show, even if he was somewhat battered or wet, Anpanman can still pick up a fight.
- Chest Insignia: A yellow smiley face.
- Cool Big Bro: To Melonpanna and Creampanda.
- Dressing as the Enemy: He dressed up as Baikinman in Don Ki Hotate's debut episode so he could make Ki Hote believe that he's good at battle.
- Early-Installment Weirdness:
- In the early episodes, Anpanman used to take his nose off. This was never brought up again.
- Edible Theme Naming: He is based on an anpan, a Japanese sweet roll most commonly filled with red bean paste.
- 11th-Hour Superpower: There are a few times when he becomes more powerful than before. This is mostly due to a change in one of the ingredients that Uncle Jam and Butterko use for his head, mostly because of Baikinman's involvement. However, this only lasts either for the rest of the episode, or until he gets a new head.
- One example was in the second episode, where Uncle Jam made a large head for Anpanman when Baikinman was attacking the bakery with a giant cloud.
- Another example was when after Baikinman spoiled Anpanman's new head with coffee, Uncle Jam decided to make a new head, but in coffee flavor, which not only made Anpanman powerful, but also made his head a different color.
- There was also an episode where he had a crayon-drawn head. However, unlike the coffee one, the punches aren't as effective.
- He also had a head that was filled with white cream, which makes himself completely bright like a light bulb.
- Fascinating Eyebrow: Had this trait in the early episodes.
- Fly Crazy: Started out like this in the first episode, but overcomes it later.
- Ideal Hero: Takashi Yanase based him on his experience during the war as he was someone who would help give food to hungry people.
- Instant Bandages: Had these after his nose was stung by a bee in one of the edutainment specials.
- Large Ham: While not always, he did become one when his head was coffee flavored.
- Men Don't Cry: He almost cried in the 2007 film short when Horako was telling a
tear-jerking event about her past. He also did this in one of the early edutainment specials where he cried because he dropped his ice cream cone. - The Needless: He doesn't eat any type of food.
The official website states that the filling inside his head gives him sustenance. Although there was a scene in one of the early edutainment specials where he was about to eat an ice cream cone. - Nice Guy: He's friendly, cheerful, and always willing to help anyone who needs it.
- No Nose: His nose can detach, as seen from Rakugaki Kozou's debut episode. Though this never happened again.

- Only Sane Man: He can be this if Shokupanman and Currypanman don't get along.
- Red Is Heroic: His superhero outfit is mostly red with a few yellow spots.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: In the Edutainment episodes, he's the blue to Baikinman's red.
- Secret-Keeper: He's kept Naganegiman's real identity a secret since his debut episode. He and the rest of the Bakery staff, to be exact.
- Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome: In his first appearance, he was an infant/toddler until the second half of the episode. Justified since he was born from the stars.
- Stage Fright: Yes, even the strongest superhero can have stage fright.
- Super Mode: He had one in the 908th episode. Though he never physically changed, he had a super powerful punch.
- Theme Music Power-Up: Pretty much whenever he gets a new head, a powerful music theme will play in the background. This was also used when he was firstborn.
- A Twinkle in the Sky:
- This happens to him if Baikinman punches him back.
- Anpanman does an inverse of this when he flies.
- Vocal Evolution: In the early episodes, his voice was somewhat a kid-like type. This was later changed to a firm and a bit older voice. This may be due to his voice actress aging, however.
- Weaksauce Weakness: If his head gets wet from any form of liquid (eg. water, mud, oil), gets squished, or bits of his head are taken off, he becomes powerless.

- Dating Catwoman: With Dokinchan, though only when she's in disguise.
- Large Ham: Pretty much whenever something good happens, he'll explain that it's so beautiful. Especially when it's Christmas, he likes to explain a lot about why it's wonderful. This gives Currypanman the itches.

- Literal Split Personality: One episode has him with two clones of himself with different personalities. One was a brute who makes ultra-spicy curry, while the other is a softie who makes mild curry.

Melonpanna/(メロンパンナ)
- Voiced by: Mika Kanai
- Badass Adorable: She's both very cute and very competent at fighting.
- Brought to You by the Letter "S" : Both her logo emblem and her hair are a lowercase "m".
- Butt-Monkey: She suffered this a few times in the 90s episodes. This was toned down after Creampanda's debut episode.
- Calling Your Attacks: MERO-MERO-PUNCH!!
- DOUBLE-PUNCH!! whenever she pairs up with Anpanman, Shokupanman, Currypanman, or Rollpanna.
- Characterization Marches On: Melonpanna's personality was different from when she was first new in the team to the current episodes.
- Early on in the show, she doesn't like it if anybody calls her a panda. This vanished after Creampanda appeared in the show and later took that trait.
- Melonpanna was more bratty and a jerk who was in the same line as Dokinchan. She softens up once Rollpanna and Creampanda later appear and by the time the show transitions to digital ink, she becomes more of a motherly figure.
- She also suffered a lot of actions due to her inexperience.
- Childish Older Sibling: She is this to Rollpanna. Though Melonpanna refers to Rollpanna as her big sister (due to Rollpanna being the taller and more mature of the two), she is actually the older of the two.
- Cool Mask: While she doesn't wear one, the diamond imprints on her eyes represent one.
- Edible Theme Naming: She is based on a melon bread.
- Good Counterpart: Though not entirely evil, she can be considered a good counterpart to Dokinchan, since they have contrasting colors and they have something related to hearts. This was also more apparent when Melonpanna first appeared when they were in equal lengths of being jerks.
- Language Barrier: She had trouble understanding what Alpoo and Betan were saying. Keep in mind, that the show is made in Japan.
- Meaningful Name: Her attack "Mero mero" is Japanese for "totally in love".
- Promotion to Opening Titles: Since the fourth opening.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's the calm and kind hearted blue to Creampanda's hotheaded red.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: She is kind and sensitive compared to her older sister.
- Token Girl
- Two Girls to a Team: Becomes this when Rollpanna joins in.
- Wolverine Publicity: When the rest of the 1991 and 1994 collections were being released on DVD, she was one of the characters shown on patterns. However, she didn't exist in the 1991 collection as those episodes were made two years before she existed. This is also true for volumes 2 ad 3 of the 1994 collection, though is understandable as Melonpanna does appear in most of the volumes and is likely done to keep in line with the rest of the collection.
Rollpanna/(ロールパンナ)
- Voiced by: Mina Tominaga
- Ambiguously Lesbian: She has only ever experienced what seems to be an attraction to other female characters. In the movie Secret of the Cloud-sailing Castle, it is very heavily implied there is something in the air between her and Laura.
- Ambiguously Human: Even though she's made from a bread roll, she looks more humanoid than the other heroes due to most of her head covered up. The fact that unlike her sister her name isn't based on an existing bread.
- Big Little Sister: Interestingly, though she is mentally and biologically more mature than Melonpanna, Rollpanna is technically the younger of the sisters as she came out of the oven after Melonpanna. Nonetheless, Melonpanna refers to her as her older sister.
- Big Sister Instinct: Whenever some terrible happens to her sister, she comes in to help out.
- Brought To You By The Letter R
- Childish Older Sibling: She is this to Melonpanna. Though Melonpanna refers to Rollpanna as her big sister (due to Rollpanna being the taller and more mature of the two), she is actually the younger of the two.
- Cool Big Sis: Melonpanna and Creampanna see this in her.
- Disney Death: Suffers one in "Secret of the Cloud-Sailing Castle".
- The Dragon: To Baikinman, depending the situation.
- Edible Theme Naming: She was based on a "Bread Roll"
- Good Colors, Evil Colors: She wears blue and red as her good colors. Black and blue as her evil.
- Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: She has blue eyes when she's good. Red eyes when she's evil.
- Fearful Symmetry: She does this a few times with Anpanman since they're equally matched. Also did this with her evil counterpart self.
- Lethal Chef: In the 1997 film, she had trouble trying to make Anpanman's new head. She eventually got better.
- Literal Split Personality: This happened to her when Dr. Hiyari created an experiment that would split both her good and evil counterparts apart. Unfortunately, this makes her evil side purely corrupted, while her other half is weak.
- Loners Are Freaks: Pretty much the main reason why she's alone is because she doesn't want to harm anyone.
- Promotion to Opening Titles: Since the fifth opening.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's both! Her red heart represents her good side, while her blue one represents her dark side.
- Sarashi: She wears a cloth wrapped around her head as her mask.
- Shout-Out: She has two hearts, one red and one blue - just like Princess Sapphire.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: She's more dark and violent than her younger sister.

- Apologises a Lot: He does this a lot when he's paired up with Princess Durian.
- Breaking Old Trends: Unlike the other 5 heroes, Creampanda is the first one to be the youngest in both age and episode-wise. He is also the first hero since Shokupanman not to be created by Uncle Jam. Also like Shokupanman, Creampanda is the first hero not to be introduced in a 100th episode (Melonpanna and Rollpanna debuted in episodes 200 and 300 respectively).
- Brother–Sister Team: With Melonpanna.
- Brought To You By The Letter C
- Butt-Monkey: Suffers from this along with Cheese when they spend the day with Princess Durian.
- Calling Your Attacks: Guu-Choki-Punch!!
- Cool Mask: His eyes represent a panda.
- Cousin Oliver: He is the youngest member of the team once the anime was a decade and was made to make Melonpanna be more nicer as to take her naive traits onto him. Despite that, Creampanda proves to be a reliable character in the show.

- Determinator: As stated before, he has a heroic self esteem.
- Edible Theme Naming: He is based on a Japanese Cream pan, which is bread buns filled with custard.

- Gadgeteer Genius: He's very good at building and fixing any form of machinery.

- Shonen Hair: She seems to have this.
- Token Girl: Before Melonpanna's debut, she was the only female in the bakery.
- Vague Age: It's unknown what her exact age is as the term "san" means "Mr./Miss", meaning she could be a young adult. But her has tendencies to like childish things at times due to the nature of the show.

A rice ball-headed man who travels around, doing good deeds by protecting the innocent and stop any harmful acts from those are evil. He is also Komusubiman's mentor.
He first meets Anpanman after Baikinman traps him inside a large boulder and stops the villain from his act. Anpanman introduced himself and later the bakery crew, and the rice ball man agreed to stay with them for a while but had to leave after he finished the errands. Baikinman decides to get back at Omusubiman from their first encounter by baiting him, but none of the traps work until he decides to pretend that Batako is in trouble. This causes Omusubiman to fall inside a pitfall created by Baikinman, and later baits Anpanman about what happened to his new ally, but this is also a trap for the hero. However, Omusubiman was able to prevent this as he vented out steam from his head and they escaped soon after.

He is often seen with Umeboshibi Baaya and some of the episodes imply that they're more than just friends, which parallels with Komusubiman and Umeko-chan (Umeboshibi Baaya's granddaughter). Which implies that he might be a senior. But then eariler episodes imply that Omusubiman has some feelings for Batako, who herself is somewhat a young adult. However because of the nature of the show's No Hugging, No Kissing policy, it's unknown if that is the case.
