Trademark Favorite Food / Anime & Manga

Doraemon's version of heaven.

---

• .hack//SIGN has BT... Who likes BLTs without the lettuce, hence her character name. One episode has a whole scene devoted to characters discussing this.
• Cooro from +Anima adores apples.
  • It's not played up as much as Cooro, but according to the bonus material in Volume 3 the others have their favorites too:
    • Senri loves honey.
    • Nana loves bread because it reminds her of a warm home (At one point in the manga she screams, "I WANT TO EAT BREAD!").
    • Husky doesn't have a favorite food but he prefers fish to red meat.
• Afro Samurai has a preference for lemonade. His first drink of it was a high point in his generally crappy childhood.
• Urd and Skuld from Ah! My Goddess can both recharge their powers via their comfort food of choice: ice cream for Skuld, sake for Urd. Belldandy loves sodas but avoids it because one sip can get her roaring drunk.
• Hazuki from Ame Nochi Hare enjoys chocolate so much that he will always keep some with him all the time.
• Angel Beats! has Kanade aka Angel's Mapo Tofu, seemingly the only thing she ever eats. As a bonus, it's a metaphor for her personality. It's painfully spicy at first, but has an unexpectedly delicious aftertaste; just like how Kanade fights the Battlefront for a while, but eventually joins them and turns out to have been trying to help them the whole time.
• Yukari-Sensei from Azumanga Daioh REALLY likes Snow crab and Matsusaka beef, so much so that she will beat the shit out of you if you've had it before her.
  • In another scene, the characters actually began to discuss their favorite foods. Chiyo's favorite is meatballs (which got her teased for being a little kid by Tomo), and Tomo's favorite are bananas (which likewise got her labeled an idiot).
• BanG Dream! : With thirty-five girls to keep track of, this comes into play a few times.
  • Moca's favorite food is bread. Any bread. She even claims that as a baby she'd cry if she didn't wear clothes with a bread print on them. She also once dreamed of being a loaf of bread that she herself ate, calling it bliss.
  • Tomoe loves, and frequently talks about, pork broth ramen.
  • Rimi is often seen munching on chocolate coronets, to the point she once had a dream about becoming one.
  • Yukina's favorite are cookies, but specifically cookies made by her lifelong friend, Lisa.
  • Hina loves french fries, as does her sister Sayo.
• All variants and incarnations of Desty Nova (except the uber-evil Super Nova as of the moment) of Battle Angel Alita have an infamous love for flan. It goes to such lengths that Super Nova’s apparent lack of a flan-eating habit has become the indication of his evilness.
• "Spaceburgers" are the only food we ever see Tiny eating on Battle of the Planets.
• Bleach:
  • Yachiru and Rin are addicted to sweets, which is played up in the anime. They will do anything for sweets, even disrupting important missions or captain meetings to obtain them. Yamamoto has a secret stash he keeps in his rooms at all times; whenever Yachiru turns up, he gives her the bag and she leaves with minimal fuss. In the slice of life stories, Byakuya learns to do this, too.
  • Omaeda's introduced in the story walking behind Soifon while he munches on crackers. He's said to be constantly eating them. During the Karakura Town battle, it's revealed that he's the only lieutenant who didn't know Yamamoto's plan. The others are quick to assume that the reason he has no idea is that he was too busy stuffing his face with rice crackers to listen; Soifon encourages this belief because she doesn't want to admit that she actually forgot to tell him the plan. The anime plays this up much more than the manga does, inserting filler scenes of him eating crackers everywhere. Even his zanpakutou spirit gets annoyed by it.
  • When Ichigo asks Ginjo why he is carrying ramen with him, the latter simply claims that he loves ramen that much. Ichigo is suspicious about it and doesn't buy what Ginjo is saying, because by that logic, Ichigo would always carry chocolate with him, which he doesn't.
  • By contrast, Riruka, who is introduced during the same arc as Ginjo, is very often scene with doughnuts. She and her doughnuts also make it on one of the tankobon covers.
• Captain Tsubasa gives us Kojiro Hyuga and his love for Coca-Cola and drinks it despite being soft drinks being bad for a sportsman like him. It also has some Fridge Brilliance into it: he was very poor when he was a kid, and he couldn't afford to drink one and now that he has a regular income and a good part of his goals are secured, he feels like he can allow himself to drink it, becoming somewhat of a Comfort Food for him.
• Case Closed:
  • Genta always wants eel with rice.
  • Also, more than one murder centers around the victim's favorite food or drink being laced with poison. So far some of the poisoned foods/drinks are: lemon tea, chocolate and cream cake, rice balls, soda, cherry pie...
  • In another case, a woman wants to find her long-lost First Love. One of the few hints she has is that he loved to eat ginger and specially gari, the fresh ginger slices that are often served with sushi... The boy turns out to be her butler, and she's always known it; one of the tricks she and Conan-as-Kogoro use to make him come forward is serving sushi with gari strips... guess who is the only one who eats the parts containing gari?
  • Not exactly a "favorite food", but Ran's father Kogoro prefers cheap or free food. He frequently winds up dining at the murderer's/victim's house and getting a free meal before the murder happens. In "Facial Mask Murder Case", he treats the group twice. The first time, it's basically going to a ramen restaurant, and then later after they solve the case, and Ran is skeptical...
    Ran: I bet it's just gonna be ramen again.
    Kogoro: You idiot! As if I'd be that cheap! [Beat as they cheer] We'll celebrate with cha-suu men!
• The Case Files of Jeweler Richard: Richard loves pudding. So much so that Seigi makes it for him all the time at emotional moments. So much that when Seigi gets the recipe from the woman who first made it for him, he makes it as a gift. Richard is the Sweets Emperor who loves all sorts of sweets, but especially his pudding.
• Aisa from A Certain Magical Index loooooves burgers.
• Chieri from The Cherry Project is seen eating chocolate-covered bananas all the time. Her not-boyfriend comments:
  "You're Cherry but you like bananas? You're weird."
• C.C. of Code Geass and pizza, but especially Pizza Hut. Hell, it's pretty much everybody's favorite food in the world of Code Geass. There is even an attempt of cooking the world's biggest pizza in Episode 21 and another in R2 Episode 5. Support the rebellion! Eat at Pizza Hut!
• Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!: Zundar's is snails, given how he's a hedgehog alien and Arima despises them. Atsushi's is curry which is what his Evil Former Friend Kinshiro doesn't like (which is extremely plot relevant). En's is a confection found in areas with hot springs, in which the protagonists hang out at a hot spring bathhouse often.
• All the main characters in D.Gray-Man have had their favorite foods listed at one point, but Kanda takes it to the extreme, eating soba noodles for all three meals.
• Miharu from Da Capo craves bananas, both in her human and robotic form.
• Subverted in Darker than Black with "Burger-kun". He has a remuneration of eating a hamburger after each use of his super speed. He may have liked them before, but now he is just sick of them.
• Ren of DearS is utterly addicted to melon bread. To the point she saves old melon bread wrappers for the smell.
• Several characters in Death Note had a special interest in certain foods:
  • Ryuk adores apples and goes through withdrawals when forced to go without them. Since shinigami don't actually need to eat, apples are more like a drug to them than food. The postscript chapter suggests that all shinigami (or at least the Shinigami King) are the same: In the main story, he wouldn't give out any more Death Notes because of Ryuk... in the postscript chapter, he'd trade one for a couple apples.
  • Midora, who gave a Death Note to another human after hearing about Ryuk's time with Light, favors bananas.
  • Justified at one point when Ryuk shows Misa what a Shinigami World apple is like - it's withered and tastes like sand. Food from Earth is a massive change to them.
    • In the ''How To Read'' guidebook, the author speculates that Ryuk might associate the red of apples with life-blood, which a Shinigami would naturally be driven to consume.
  • L has a pronounced sweet tooth and gorges himself on various sweets. He burns off the excess calories by thinking really hard. He justifies it to Misa that if you use your brains enough the sugar won't make you fat, but he's probably just messing with her.
  • Mello is a chocoholic. In the anime, the snapping sound he makes when biting into a bar of chocolate is practically his Leitmotif. In the manga, a huge delivery of chocolate is the clincher to pinning down his hideout.
    • Sidoh, the Shinigami whose Death Note Ryuk stole and dropped on Earth, comes across Mello while looking for it. He takes an instant liking to chocolate and happily tells Mello everything he wants to know about the Death Note in exchange for more.
  • The Encyclopedia, 13, says that Light Yagami prefers to take Barbecue-Flavored potato chips... AND EAT THEM. Since he's the only one in his family to like that flavor, his family would not even try to take that particular bag of potato chips, creating a perfect plan how to murder people with it.
  • Based on a manga scene where Matt is in his living room playing video games and surrounded by trash, it seems Matt has a taste for typical "gamer grub": potato chips, cheese puffs, soda/energy drinks (or possibly beer).
  • In the prequel novel Another Note, Beyond Birthday loves strawberry jam. So much that he eats it out of the jar... with his hands. He also appears to be fond of coffee.
• Mitsuri Kanroji from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba really loves sakura mochi. She apparently ate so much of it that her hair turned pink.
• Princess Lapis of Detatoko Princess is addicted to pudding. This need drives the story much of the time, and it's exaggerated to the point where she literally needs it to live and refuses to hurt a golem made out of pudding.
• Karin from Diamond Daydreams can't go a day without her beloved cream puffs. Shoko from the same series has a thing for pastrami sandwiches.
• Digimon:
  • In a scene early in Digimon Adventure, the children discuss their favorite things to put on eggs. Mimi grosses everyone out when she explains hers, which changes in various dubs and is never not weird. In Japanese she eats her eggs with natto (a type of fermented soybeans) and sugar; in English, her egg meal involves maple syrup, whipped cream, and a cherry; European Spanish has her eating eggs with sugar and cream; German has sugar, but also has her go for the comparatively mundane grated cheese when she wants her eggs savory; sweet syrup in the Brazilian Portuguese version; and in the South Korean dub, she prefers her eggs with chocolate syrup. In the Japanese version, she reiterates her love for natto in future installments. Aside from that, Mimi loves tuna-mayonnaise rice balls and goes googly-eyed in 02 when Miyako gives her some.
  • In Digimon Adventure 02, V-mon's favorite food is chocolate, and Hawkmon is absolutely nuts about pickled gourd rolls. Armadimon's favorite is the ohagi Iori's mom makes, but he's just happy to have any food at all.
    • As of Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna, Armadimon seems to have developed a taste for food originating from Nagoya; he has a deep Nagoya dialect in Japanese.
  • In Digimon Tamers, bread is pretty much Guilmon's favorite. He likes it so much that Takato's parents, who own a bakery, make him special bread that is shaped like his head and name it after him. At least in the dub, he also likes peanut butter a lot. In the dub, Juri/Jeri often brings up cream puffs.
  • In Digimon Frontier, Junpei Shibayama is almost always seen with a chocolate bar in hand.
  • Digimon Data Squad's:
    • Agumon loves Japanese style rolled fried eggs (tamagoyaki), Sayuri's if at all possible. After the Grand Finale, the reason why Agumon wants to return to the Digital World is because now that DATS isn't needed anymore, he would just be a freeloader who does nothing but eat tamagoyaki all day.
    • The Bridge Bunnies are fond of manju (though it doesn't come up as much as Agumon and fried eggs.)
  • In Digimon Fusion, Shoutmon likes DigiNowa, a cereal-like snack packed in elongated hexagonal packages; these packages grow in clusters on trees in the Digital World.
  • In Digimon Universe: App Monsters, Gatchmon's favorite is GatchMonaka (wafer bars filled with chocolate, though named after a snack that traditionally contains azuki bean paste); Haru Shinkai likes burgers; Yuujin Oozora's is pasta; and Rei Katsura's entire diet seems to consist solely of energy gels.
  • In Digimon Ghost Game, Gammamon thinks chocolate is the best thing ever, adding another chocoholic Digimon to the mix.
  • In Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning, Lui's abusive mother says multiple times throughout the movie that Lui's favorite food is hamburger steak. He doesn't actually like it that much, and the fact that Ukkomon doesn't know this and takes the mother's word for it is part of the proof that he doesn't really know Lui at all.
• In Dirty Pair, Kei's Guilty Pleasure is cheesecake.
• The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.: The title character has a notable infatuation with coffee jelly, at one point considering buying enough to make a bed out of it.
• Doraemon:
  • Doraemon and Dorayaki, a Japanese pastry. Pictured above.
  • Nobita and the Salisbury steak.
  • Shizuka and roasted sweet potato.
  • The doraemons also have their own way of eating Dorayaki: Dora the kid eats them with mustard and ketchup, while Dorami prefers melon flavored bread.
• Dragon Ball:
  • Majin Buu really loves candy. Unfortunately, his main source isn't the candy store, but people, which he turns into various sweets.
  • Chaozu's favorite food is tenshindon (crab meat omelette on rice). Tenshinhan's favorite food is Jiaozi (Chinese dumplings). Consider the alternate spellings and pronunciations for those foods.
  • Beerus is often associated with pudding, mostly because he tried to destroy Earth when he was denied the experience of tasting it. Since he is based on a cat, he loves fish as well; and thanks to Vegeta, he's got a massive addiction to ramen, due to how variated and practical to make it is.
  • Dr Hedo, from Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, has a particular fondness for Oreo cookies. Magenta uses them to help convince him to join his cause, and throughout the film, he's seen devouring them in vast quantities; often accompanied by a glass of milk to dip them in.
  • Tullece/Turles/Tarles/Tales is always seen munching the Fruit of the Tree of Might in multiple media.
• Dream Eater Merry is also addicted to doughnuts. The first time she bites into one, she declares it the best thing she's ever eaten in her life and calls them "Reality's treasure"... which gives one to wonder what sort of things, exactly, they usually eat in Dream Land. Carbonated drinks of any sort are her Trademark Least Favorite Food.
• Ellis and Nadie from El Cazador de la Bruja loved tacos.
• Eliza from Expecting to Fall into Ruin, I Aim to Become a Blacksmith has potatoes. This is extremely embarrassing for her, because she’s a high noble and potatoes are peasant food, leading to her claiming her favorite food is chiffon cake, and only talking about potatoes freely if she’s wearing a mask. At one point, she has Implausible Deniability denying she was just cooking potatoes with some still left on her face. It turns out all this cooking in secret has made Eliza a Supreme Chef.
• In Eyeshield 21, Monta loves bananas, Mamori loves cream puffs, and Hiruma gets pissy if he doesn't have sugarless gum to chew.
• Erza from Fairy Tail loves strawberry cake; when someone makes her drop it or squishes it, RUN.
  • Natsu loves anything that's covered in fire. Justified as it's his Power-Up Food.
• It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that The Protagonist Nanase Haruka in Free! does not eat anything but mackerel when left to his own devices.
• Satellizer from Freezing loooooves burgers.
• Tasuki from Fushigi Yuugi loves sake. And he also seems to love peaches.
  • Miaka is a Big Eater who loves all types of food, but she seems to specially like pork buns.
• Jimsy from Future Boy Conan will eat just about anything, but his favorite thing to eat is frogs, when they are on a new island he will ask if there are any frogs to eat, and when he befriends someone he will offer them a frog to eat.
• Future GPX Cyber Formula:
  • Shinsuke Maki is quite fond of sandwiches, as he would make anything into one.
  • Most of the characters have their favorite foods described in their profiles: Hayato and curry rice, Asuka and cake, Shinjyo and rice balls (particularly Miki's rice balls), Osamu and Asuka's cooking (which is rather odd as Asuka's a Lethal Chef), Miki and rice, tea and rice crackers, Kyoko and Italian cuisine, Henri and all kinds of sweets and pastries, Clair and pie, Gudelhian and ice cream and almost all Japanese food, Heinel and kaiseki (traditional Japanese multi-course meals), Bootsvorz and anything spicy and super-sweet, Phill and his caregiver´s cooking, Leon and his mother´s stew, Marie and fish and vegetables.
• In Galaxy Angel, Millefeuille loves pastries and sweets in general, Ranpha loves anything that's extremely spicy (And the others dread allowing her to cook), Mint adores junk foods such as potato chips and jelly beans, Forte has a soft spot for Oden stew, and Vanilla will eat just about everything (Including making a literal Chew Toy of Normad when starving) but prefers vegetarian dishes.
• The Garden of Sinners: Ryougi Shiki has bottled water of all things as her favorite drink, as it's the only thing we ever see in her fridge. She's also very much associated with strawberry Häagen-Dazs ice cream, even though her male personality, SHIKI, loathes it. As she comes to terms with his loss, however, this becomes Shiki's favourite snack.
• Only in Gintama can a character consume revolting quantities of mayonnaise and still be badass. Hijikata's lighter is even shaped like a mayo bottle.
  • Also, Okita's sister Mitsuba loves super spicy crackers. Considering Gintama is a Gag Series, this particular gag was used very effectively for humor and drama.
  • Kagura and her sukonbu (pickled seaweed).
  • Yamazaki and anpan. Though he doesn't actually like it, due to eating nothing but anpan and milk for weeks on end as a part of his stakeout ritual.
  • Sa-chan and natto (fermented soybeans. They look icky), to the point of being named the "natto ninja" in one chapter.
  • Don't forget the protagonist himself; Gintoki and chocolate parfaits, strawberry milk, and pretty much any sweets. To the point that his parallel to Hijikata's Special consists of red bean paste on rice.
  • Nobume and her doughnuts especially Pon De ring, to the point that it was used to bribe her by Isaburo Sasaki. Just DON'T let her see you eat that kind of donut.
  • It doesn't come up as often as with the others characters, but Tae is a fan of Bargain Dash ice cream.
• Girls und Panzer:
  • Anzu regularly munches on sweet dried potatoes.
  • The entirety of Anzio High School cannot get enough of pasta. In the film, Anzu gets Anchovy, Carpaccio and Pepperoni out of a small funk and get them to use their CV 33 as a ramp by promising to make them potato pasta after the match. In Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu, they even manage to deplete the Oarai school ship's entire pasta supply in one day!
  • Marie from BC Freedom Academy is never seen without cake to eat, even in the middle of a tank match.
• Yuki of Gourmet Girl Graffiti sees pizza as her personal Comfort Food, and has eaten literally nothing but pizza for three whole weeks.
• Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl: We have another female pizza lover, and her name is Erio Touwa.
• Bob Poundmax in Gungrave loves fried chicken drumsticks. It's very rare for him to be seen without a chicken drumstick in his hand. Although he doesn't so much as chew the drumsticks as he just inhales them by the bucketful. A Surprisingly Realistic Outcome ensues - his eating habits render him seriously obese, and he's ultimately given an Emergency Transformation into a Superior when he suffers an obesity-related blood clot in his brain.
• Gugure! Kokkuri-san's Kohina loves her instant noodles, and her love for them is often used by the other characters to bribe her.
• In Hand Maid May, Cyberdoll Sara loves ramen and all of the humans seem to love milk.
• Hetalia: Axis Powers - which is based on the idea of each country being an actual person - is filled with this trope. Closely related to Hollywood Cuisine.
  • North Italy: PASTAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
  • Germany: Wurst and potatoes. Also beer, which is also Prussia's favorite drink.
  • Japan: Sushi.
    • His female counterpart seems to prefer dango sticks.
  • America: Hamburgers.
    • His female counterpart is often seen with hotdogs.
  • England: Scones.
  • Russia: Pirozhki (a type of baked or fried stuffed boat-shaped bread bun that is commonly seen as street food or Comfort Food in Russia).
  • Finland: Salmiakki (salty licorice candy).
  • Sweden: Surströmming (fermented herring).
  • Canada: Maple syrup on everything.
  • Cuba: Ice cream (Though it may be noted that Canada and America like ice cream, too.).
  • South Italy and Spain: Tomatoes and churros,
  • South Korea: Kimchi .
    • His female counterpart is often portrayed with carrots, but she also seems to like kimchi.
  • Denmark: Not stated directly, but hinted to be beer.
  • Belgium: Waffles and chocolate.
  • Poland: Paluzki (salted pretzel sticks), among other polish snacks.
  • Austria: Cake.
  • Hong Kong: Judging from a chibi image, pork buns. Implied during one of his image songs, mango pudding as well.
  • Bulgaria: Yogurt, according to Hetalia Bloodbath 2011.
  • Turkey: Anything sweet, but specially Ashure pudding.
  • Taiwan: Tofu, according to her Image Song.
• Higurashi: When They Cry:
  • Chie, Ciel's Expy, adores curry. Don't you dare disgrace curry by stuffing it in your speedo.
  • Never, ever insult curry in Hinamizawa.
  • Cream puffs for Hanyuu.
  • Keiichi is apparently fond of ginger-pork flavored ramen.
• Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~: In Yamato Phantasia Fubuki gets distracted by the in-game depiction of Fox's Delight Udon, specifically instant noodle one. In the "Just Another Day at Mizore's Kitchen" story Fubuki and Mio order Fox's Delight Udon and Chicken Tail Special respectively despite Mizore asking to try something else for once.
• Hoshin Engi: Taikobo is particularly fond of peaches, and is often seen eating one when laying back.
• Hunter × Hunter: Killua and his Chocorobo-kun (chocolate robots).
• In Inuyasha Shippo likes candy, particularly lollipops. Inuyasha himself seems to have a fondness for Ramen Instant Noodles in the anime, which the fandom exaggerates to addiction. Both were introduced to said foods by Kagome, who brings them from home on a regular basis.
• In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
  • In Golden Wind, Guido Mista's Stand, Sex Pistols, loves Tuscan salami. The Pistols are sometimes seen begging Mista for some, or fighting over it when they do get a slice.
  • The ill-tempered Iggy can only be placated by coffee-flavored chewing gum, which he is constantly seen chewing. This is a bit unusual, considering Iggy is a Boston Terrier and caffeine is toxic to dogs.
  • Yasuho Hirose and Josuke Higashikata, from JoJolion, are both very fond of sesame honey dumplings. Josuke always bites them with his front tooth, much to the amusement of Yasuho.
• Reiko from Kaasan: Mom's Life loves crabs so much that she eats them as a midnight snack behind her family's back and refuses to let her children eat any. She even gets berated by her mother for her obsession with crabs.
• Erika from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is a big fan of anything with miso in it, owing to her family owning the in-universe equivalent of Japan's largest miso producer. This extends beyond simply eating the stuff, as her idea of stress management is to grind miso paste, and her first childhood crush was her company's mascot.
• Tomoe from Kamisama Kiss loves sasamochi.
• As became the focus in one Newtype article during the remake's airing, each of the five main girls of Kanon has a favorite food associated with her:
  • Ayu: Taiyaki - to the point of stealing it, although she is usually regretful about that.
  • Nayuki: Strawberries (especially her mom's strawberry jam... not to be confused with the other flavour).
  • Shiori: Ice cream.
  • Makoto: Pork buns.
  • Mai: Beef bowls.
• Kekkaishi's Yoshimori has a Sweet Tooth and loves to bake his own cakes.
• Kill la Kill: Ryuko and Mako eat Suyuko's (Mako's mother) croquettes (Made of mystery things that are deep-fried in mashed potatoes, yet somehow it's never poisoned cooking - it seems she's that much of a Supreme Chef) every day. Satsuki, on the other hand, likes to drink bitter tea. Turns out they go together very well, and it's a veeeery slight foreshadowing of how Ryuko and Satsuki are long-lost sisters.
• In Kimi ni Todoke, Chizuru Yoshida's affection for her childhood friend Ryu Sanada led her to spend much of her youth at his family's ramen shop, to the point that she jokingly says she might want to "be a ramen" when she grows up.
• Even Extreme Omnivore Kirby has a favorite food in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!: watermelons. Though this is probably because of the size and shape rather than the taste, seeing as how he swallows them whole.
• Sushi is one of the three things that Akito from Kodocha doesn't hate (the other two things are dinosaurs and Sana).
• Yayoi Asuka of Koi Koi 7 and crab bread. Since she's The Ditz, this makes it even easier to distract her with the food.
• Bamboo shoots is the favorite food of Sei from Koihime†Musou. It's almost taken to insane levels about her obsession with bamboo shoots. For example, don't insult bamboo shoots, or eat spoiled ones without asking, or YOU WILL PAY!
• Kurosaki of Kurosagi is constantly seen sucking on a lollipop.
• Ferris Eris of The Legend of the Legendary Heroes really loves dango (a type of Japanese dumpling). She asks for them as payment from Sion to help track down the person trying to kill him, and later (earlier from the audience's perspective since that happened in a flashback) refers to him as a "devil" for not paying up.
• The title character in A Little Snow Fairy Sugar loves waffles. In fact, her Catchphrase is "Waffo!", which is her mispronunciation of the food's name.
• Lucky Star:
  • Konata Izumi and chocolate cornets.
  • Also, in the anime Tsukasa has a strange obsession with balsamic vinegar, which led on to a Memetic Mutation of sorts. Barusamikosu!
  • Konata likes to flanderize Pocky as Kagami's Trademark Favorite Food.
• Lupin III has Goemon who usually refuses to eat anything other than Japanese cuisine and the only alcohol he will drink is sake.
• Lyrical Nanoha's Vivio loves her caramel milk. It even gets a special mention in her character page. Also, Admiral Lindy and green tea... with two lumps of sugar and milk.
• Macross Delta:
  • Freyja loves apples, particularly Windermerian apples. Explained as a consequence of her family owning an apple orchard back on Windermere.
  • Reina is very fond of Ragnan jellyfish.
• Madlax: "Yeah... pasta!"
• Mash Burnedead from Mashle: Magic and Muscles loves cream puffs, to absolutely hilarious degrees. It seems he keeps at least one in his robes for snacking at all times.
• Mayonaka ni Kiss: Kazuomi Ichijou was seen eating Marshmallows in his first appearance and gave the impression of being addicted to them.
• In MegaMan NT Warrior (2002), main character Lan/Netto's favorite food is curry. This is made story and character-relevant to the point that the WWW uses it to lure him into a trap in an early episode where they were attempting to gain the ultimate curry recipe and needed his help to do it... and succeeded. However, this is an odd case, as despite many episodes gushing over his adoration for the foodstuff... due to characterization conflicts caused by differing writers on the staff, there are episodes where Lan/Netto is depicted as actually hating curry and anything curry-adjacent, and his pursuit of any other foodstuff causing their plots to then roll Idiot Balls. Unsurprisingly, the writers culpable for this baffling character derailment are also the ones responsible for putting in people's heads the idea that he's an Idiot Hero despite Lan/Netto spending a fair chunk of the series being the deadpan straight man towards the insanity around him.
  • Also of note is Yai/Yaito's love for Strawberry Milk.
• Lucia Nanami of Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, being a mermaid, should not surprise you by liking shrimp. Hanon and Rina prefer cheesecake and vegetarian food, respectively.
• There are quite a few in Beyblade: Metal Fusion: Gingka and hamburgers, Yuu and ice cream, Tobio and his ever-present blue lollipop, Masamune and those spicy sticks he's always munching on...
• The fairies from Mirumo de Pon!! They're all pretty much tied to their favorite snacks, especially Mirumo and Murumo, to the point were all you need to do to get them to do what you want is offer them a large enough amount of the treat in question. Mirumo and chocolate, Murumo and marshmallows, Rirumu and cream puffs, Yashichi and karintou. Although Yashichi is known more for his penchant for panties than his choice snack, come to think of it.
• Miss Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles: 'Nuff said. All. Kinds.
• Tenma in Monster loves soy sauce, as lampshaded by Heckel.
• Monster Girl Doctor:
  • Lime, the Slime Girl loves lime so much that it's become her nickname, her real name being The Unpronouncable.
  • Plum, the Friendly Neighborhood Vampire is a bit embarrassed to admit that her favorite food is the very fruit she was named after.
• Moriarty the Patriot: Billy loves fruit so much Sherlock can guess he has a sweet tooth and he brings fruit for Billy when they're meeting for a dinner party. He even goes immediately for Sherlock and William's fruit bowl when he visits their home for the first time.
• Muka Muka Paradise: Muka Muka loves blueberry jam.
• My Hero Academia:
  • Protagonist Izuku Midoriya loves katsudon, or fried pork cutlet over rice with other toppings, and is seen eating it in almost every cafeteria scene.
  • Shoto Todoroki enjoys soba noodles and can usually be seen slurping them in the same cafeteria scenes.
  • Yuga Aoyama is obsessed with cheese, to the point of suggesting that Izuku's nightmares ( The result of One for All preparing to unleash its true power) are caused by cheese deficiency.
  • It's been shown that Ochaco Uraraka's favorite snack is mochi. It's been mentioned between chapters but only mentioned in the anime once in the credits scene after the Sports Festival. The first light novel takes further with she, Tsuyu, and Momo trying to buy as much mochi as they can get.
  • Fat Gum, a pro hero from Osaka, can often be seen eating takoyaki by the trayful. It helps that his Quirk, Fat Absorption, benefits from him being such a Big Eater.
• Suzu of Nagasarete Airantou REAAAAALLLLY likes Mame Daifuku.
• Naruto:
  • Naruto loves ramen in all of its many, varied and wonderful forms and one of the main foods he eats. Part of this love may stem from the fact that Ichiraku's Teuchi and Ayame were the first to show him kindness and provide him the feeling of a home. This was confirmed in Konoha Hiden.
  • His son, Boruto, on the other hand, has a taste for burgers, to the point where he would rush to get a limited edition green chili hamburger, on the last day it would be sold, and would sometimes carry burger discount coupons. He notes that his favorite dish are yakisoba buns, however.
  • Choji loves barbecue, chips, and barbecue chips.
  • Rock Lee is inordinately fond of spicy curry.
  • Kushina, Naruto's mother, also loves ramen. The only difference in this is that she loves a specific flavor of ramen above the others (salt ramen).
  • Anko loves Dango so much that in one of the videogames, there's a mission where she goes into withdrawal and asks you to get her some. It comes back to bite her in the finale, where she has become chubby.
  • Sea Salt Ice Cream. The trend first started with Jiraiya and then it was employed by Iruka, both to cheer Naruto out of a funk.
• Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
  • Yue Ayase likes odd and unusual beverages and is almost never shown drinking the same one twice. Might explain why she once was so desperate to go to the bathroom...
  • Negi, being from the UK, is quite fond of tea. When he and Fate were attempting to negotiate instead of directly fight, things flew into a bout of Passive-Aggressive Kombat over how each of them take it.
  • Fate is particularly fond of coffee and is usually drinking some when he has a moment to himself.
• Churuya of Nyoron Churuya-san: Smoked cheese, nyoro~n!
• The favorite food of Doremi from Ojamajo Doremi is steak, and one of her image songs was even about her love of steaks. Unfortunately for her, it's a Running Gag that someone always eats her share of steak on the rare occasions it's served at the Harukazes' home, so she's only ever actually had a single bite of steak onscreen. There's also Aiko's more understated love for takoyaki, and in Motto, Hana-chan has a Sweet Tooth for pudding.
  • Also Momoko with her strawberry tart sweetness and sourness.
• Several characters in Ojarumaru have a food or drink they especially like:
  • Ojarumaru himself loves eating pudding.
  • Denbo seems fond of onigiri.
  • Kin-chan loves eating lollipops.
  • Makoto loves drinking beer.
  • Usui loves drinking tea.
• Thoth from Oh, Suddenly Egyptian God has eggs as his favorite food. He will often request to add eggs to his phone orders of pizza and koshary, and he seems really interested in the idea of eggs cooked in hot springs.
• Eiichiro Oda, in his SBS Question Corner, once listed each main One Piece character's favorite food:
  • Monkey D. Luffy — Meat. To the point that when he prepares to take back everything that was stolen from them on Thriller Bark, he prioritizes them as "meat, Nami, and shadows". This did not go unlampshaded. The One Piece-Toriko crossover shows that Luffy's perfect meal consists entirely of meat — including the dessert and the beverage.
  • Roronoa Zoro — White rice, sea king meat, and anything that compliments ale.
  • Nami — Mainly oranges as well as other kinds of fruit.
  • Usopp — Pike from an autumn island as well as other fish of the season, hates mushrooms.
  • Sanji — Spicy seafood pasta and food that compliments black tea.
  • Tony Tony Chopper — Cotton candy, chocolate, and other sweet food and drink.
  • Nico Robin — Sandwiches, cakes that aren't too sweet, and food that complements coffee.
  • Franky — Hamburgers, french fries, and food that complements cola.
  • Brook — Tea, takoyaki, and curry.
  • Jimbei — Vinegared mozuku seaweed and fruits.
  • Guest-Star Party Member Vivi — Curry and pudding.
  • Honorary True Companion Trafalgar Law — Grilled fish and onigiri.
  • Sanji has a habit of making everyone's favorite food subconsciously. When he makes a bento for Pudding, he realizes too late that he has made too much and it only contains the favorite food of all of his crewmates.
  • Outside of the Straw Hats, Big Bad and Evil Counterpart Marshal D. Teach (Blackbeard) is as fond of cherry pie as Luffy is with meat. This was used in the scene where they met each other: they were at the same restaurant and each ordered a beverage and a slice of pie. Luffy hated the pie while Blackbeard loved it. Then when they gulped the beverage, it was reverse. Then, they tried to out-order one another regarding their favorite food before they nearly started a fight.
  • Still outside the Straw Hats, Donquixote Doflamingo's favorite food is lobsters, according to the Volume 82 SBS.
  • An important Plot Point in the Dressrosa Arc was Sugar's love of grapes, which she often ate off her fingers. Usopp and Robin tried giving her one that was laced with Tatababasco thinking the mega-spicy grape would knock her out, but she was wise to them (well, she assumed it was poisoned), and force-fed it to Usopp. However, the intensity of the spiciness caused Usopp to make one of the largest horrific, anguish-induced faces ever, to the extent that it terrified Sugar into unconsciousness. Even after she recovered, she retained a fear of this and of long noses (which Usopp weaponized, by attaching a drawing of him making said face to some ammo)
  • Carrot from the Yonko Saga is nuts about the vegetable she's named after (being a rabbit-girl and all) so much that the provisions she prepared for the White Cake Island trip consisted of nothing but carrots. She also loves chocolate.
  • Charlotte Linlin, better known as Big Mom, loves sweets more than anything. She literally goes insane for semla (a type of Nordic sweet roll stuffed with whipped cream and almond paste) and wedding cakes, and the results are not pretty.
  • Charolette Katakuri, one of Big Mom's children, loves doughnuts. It's a Guilty Pleasure of his to spend some time every day gorging himself on doughnuts in private.
  • Kaido's subordinate Queen enjoys oshiruko, a Japanese sweet bean porridge. Just the suggestion of someone eating his oshiruko is enough to make him pick a fight with Big Mom of all people.
  • Jewelry Bonney is a Big Eater just like Luffy, but where Luffy prefers meat, her favorite food is pizza. She even named her pirate ship after it, and her Jolly Roger features a pizza with a giant bite taken out of it behind the skull.
• The eponymous character from Oruchuban Ebichu loves camembert cheese, syrup, ramen, and ice cream... whenever she can get them.
• Ouran High School Host Club:
  • Honey eats so much cake that his brother thinks he's an alien.
  • Also, though she never gets to have any, Haruhi's longing for fancy tuna is a minor Running Gag.The gag went as far as Tamaki buying her an ootoro-shaped ring during New Year's!
  • Tamaki also has a well-known love of commoner's food and never turns down the chance to try some. The character pages at the end of Volume 1 state each character's favorite foods.
  • Also, Kuze and his oranges. Especially the peel.
• Alice in PandoraHearts loves meat.
• The tenth episode of the PaRappa the Rapper anime introduces a baseball player named Schmidt who really likes eating bananas.
• Penguindrum has Ringo and curry. There's another reason behind it, though.
• The Pet Girl of Sakurasou: Mashiro has Baumkuchen, and Ryuunosuke has tomatoes.
• Half-alien teacher Mizuho Kazami of Please Teacher! eats pocky (or, actually, the similarly-named-but-not-trademark-infringing "Pochy") because it reminds her of her father, who was human. In the sequel Please Twins!, Miina Miyafuji has a similar attachment to Pretz (or, as it's called in the show, "Prech"), though her preference isn't similarly explained.
• In the manga Plus-Sized Elf, Elfuda is a forest elf from Another Dimension who's obsessed with french fries, calling them "a gift from God". Unfortunately, because of the way the portal between her world and the human world works, she needs to lose weight from her constant fast-food binges before she can go home again. Her aunt develops a similar obsession with ice cream.
• Pokémon: The Series:
  • In one episode of the anime, Pikachu was crushed when a Scyther slashed apart a bottle of ketchup that he was eating out of. It was subtly shown again, early in the Hoenn saga. In a small throwaway scene Pikachu can be seen holding a bottle of ketchup again, and this time it looked like he was sucking at the contents with a straw. His love for ketchup hasn't been forgotten in the Kalos saga. The second main ending in XY&Z even has a Pikachu song that is literally called Pikachu no Uta and it features giant bottles of ketchup, leading to the emergence of a ketchup bottle tree.
  • Pikachu also seems to like apples.
  • Emolga (specifically, Iris'), will do anything to get some apples for herself, and usually by the bushel.
  • Thanks to Max, chocolate has become the Trademark Favorite Food of Lucario when he gave the Fish out of Temporal Water Lucario his first chocolate bar during the eighth movie. This was referenced in a later Diamond and Pearl episode, where Jessie tried bribing Maylene's Lucario to join them with a chocolate bar.
  • Ash really enjoys hamburgers (at least in the English dub), they're usually the first thing he wants when he comes across a new town. He also will never turn down ice cream, as expected with a ten-year-old. It's really very hard to find a food that Ash doesn't like. As for the original, his favorite food is croquettes, confirmed by Cilan in Best Wishes!/Black & White, which would continue in Sun & Moon and Journeys.
  • May, who is an even worse Big Eater in regards to Ash, has a strong affinity for Tonkotsu Ramen, to the point where she eats her entire weight in them (29 bowls!) in her ending song.
  • Victini in the fifteenth movie has a deep love for macarons, to the point of it being willing to risk being seen in its invisible form just to obtain and eat them. In fact, Ash throwing macarons at the sea he'd promised to take it to after its supposed Heroic Sacrifice was what prompted Victini to reveal it was Not Quite Dead.
• The eponymous Ponyo from Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea loves ham.
• Kedamono from Popee the Performer would do anything for a chicken drumstick, with it being used by Popee to bait him into dangerous stunts multiple times.
• Pretty Cure:
  • Each of the mascot characters in Yes! Pretty Cure 5 has a different favorite snack. Coco likes choux a la creme, Nuts likes mamedaifuku (which can be sold at his girlfriend's family's store; this is made out to be a sign that they're destined), Milk likes chocolate, and Syrup likes (appropriately enough) pancakes.
  • Fresh Precure: Doughnuts is the favorite snack of the main characters and their mascot Tart. Kaoru-chan, the one who sells them doughnuts basically every day, is a prominent character because of it. In the Grand Finale, Tart manages to turn the tables to the Precures' favor by bringing the citizens of Labyrinth the joy of doughnuts.
  • Speaking of pancakes, they are also the favorite of Hime in HappinessCharge Pretty Cure! as well as Yuko's homemade candies.
  • Doughnuts are Kirara's favorite food in Go! Princess Pretty Cure.
• Shiho from Psychic Squad is seen consuming pocky at least once per episode.
• Although it doesn't come up in the series proper (barring some Bilingual Freeze-Frame Bonus) secondary materials state that Charlotte of Puella Magi Madoka Magica loves cheese, despite having the power to make as many sweets as she wants. Within fanworks, where she is quite popular, this is used to its fullest.
  • In the newest movie, Bebe aka Nagisa aka Charlotte is either munching on cheese, asking for cheese, chewing on something yellow she thought was cheese or stating how much she loves cheese.
  • In the Compilation Movie, Charlotte was given her own Leitmotif, "wo ist die Käse?", which is Gratuitous German for "Where is the cheese?"
  • Though Kyouko is basically an omnivore when it comes to junk food, pocky (or rocky, as the case may be) seems to have become her signature snack. Most art, both fan and official, depicts her with a stick between her teeth. Apples and fish cake, for their symbolic importance, seem to be just behind.
  • And, of course, we can't forget Mami and cake, but only because it goes well with tea.
• Princess Diana: Diana Spencer loves cream puffs, and her caretaker at the boarding school cheers her up with some.
• Ramen Fighter Miki: Kayahara-sensei, a really depressed teacher who resembles a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl, loves eating ramen. It's the only thing that makes her smile in a non-creepy way. Deconstructed into an eating disorder: Kayahara Sensei is a Save Our Students teacher that really wants to help... except when she is eating ramen... then she cares about nothing.
• Plue from Rave Master and sweets, with lollipops being the highest on his list.
• Brunhilde from Record of Ragnarok loves her special order salmiak liquorice pies.
• Re: Cutie Honey:
  • Onigiri for Honey.
  • In OVA 2, Natsuko reveals that hers in sea cucumber in oyster sauce.
• Restaurant to Another World is a story about a restaurant serving various high-quality meals to a Medieval European Fantasy alternate world, so it understandably has everybody that eats there get a favorite food. This story in particular takes the "trademark" park to the extreme, as not only do the customers rarely deviate from their favorite (which is always the first thing ever served to them), each and every one uses said food as an In-Series Nickname.
• Sage/Seiji of Ronin Warriors is sometimes heard mumbling about wanting to eat pumpkin during group songs. It shows up in doujin and art books with some regularity.
• In Rosario + Vampire, we have Kurumu Kurono and cookies. She loves them so much that she cannot resist eating her own poisoned cookies.
• In Sailor Moon All of the senshi have a favorite food (listed in their character profiles, but they don't show up in the manga or anime):
  • Moon/Usagi loves sweets (like cake and ice cream) so much, she even lists it as a hobby. This is the only one that regularly gets mentioned in the manga.
  • Chibi-Moon/Chibiusa loves Pudding and Pancakes.
  • Mercury/Ami loves Sandwiches (because she can eat one with a hand while holding a book in the other) and anmitsu (A Japanese Dessert).
  • Mars/Rei loves Fugu (a blowfish that is highly toxic and considered a delicacy in Japan).
  • Jupiter/Makoto loves All foods, cherry pie and meatloaf in particular.
  • Venus/Minako likes curry rice and ramen.
  • Uranus/Haruka: Salad.
  • Neptune/Michiru: Sashimi (A type of Raw fish often confused for sushi in the west).
  • Saturn/Hotaru: Soba (buckwheat) noodles.
• Saki:
  • The most noticeable and plot-relevant case is tacos for Yuuki, and she plays at her best after eating one. Alternatively, anything with octopus (tako) will do in a pinch.
  • Choe Myeng-hwa of the Rinkai team has come to like salmon and herring roe since coming to Japan. This is slightly downplayed because her teammates are slightly surprised to hear about that detail when the announcers talk about her.
  • Haru of Eisui is often seen eating some muscovado chips. She shares some with Hisa during the break after their match, and when Hisa says they taste good, the normally expressionless Haru smiles.
• Tamachi from Saturn Apartments loves eggs.
  Tamachi: Boiled eggs are simple and taste of happiness.
• In School Rumble, much is made of the various male characters' preference for curry vs. beef-and-potato stew. Karasuma, the oblivious target of main character Tenma Tsukamoto's love, is the most food-obsessed, at one point stating he prefers curry to poor Tenma.
• Ichigo Moesaki from Seiyu's Life! is obsessed with strawberries to the point that she has an entire persona built up about how she's a princess from the strawberry planet and just about everything in her room has a strawberry on it. Although the obsession is not because she particularly likes them, she's just making a pun on her Stage Name. Konno also has a thing for beef bowls (to the point where she has a strap shaped like a slab of meat on her briefcase).
• Kululu of Sgt. Frog loves curry so much, he bathes in it. Natsumi, meanwhile, seems to be rather fond of baked sweet potatoes.
• Shana from Shakugan no Shana absolutely loves melon bread and is heavily associated with it as a result. It's also one of the few things she can cook and make edible. Her omake counterpart in the DVD specials, Shana-tan, even fires an endless stream of them out of hammerspace as a weapon at one point.
• In Shima Shima Tora no Shimajirō, Toriipi is apparently fond of Takoyaki, which are fried octopus balls.
• Subverted with Nana Daiba from Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight; despite being heavily associated with bananas and often making banana-flavored sweets for her friends (to the point that she's even nicknamed "Banana"), her profile lists pork miso soup as her favorite food.
• Silver Spoon: Ikeda's love of meat in any form is a Running Gag throughout the series. In her first appearance as a named character, she attempts to buy bacon from Yugo, but her shyness and inability to spit it out lead to the situation being mistaken for an Anguished Declaration of Love. Also, during the School Festival, the guy selling hamburgers brags that his patties are 100% beef, no fillers or binders, which causes Ikeda to seemingly spontaneously materialize with a facial expression high school girls usually reserve for their favorite boy band. Ikeda also turns down Tokiwa's love confession specifically because his family raises chickens for eggs and not meat.
• The eponymous character from Space Battleship Yamamoto Yohko likes pocky. Her Montague Counterpart similarly likes sausages of any flavor, and rice cakes; pretty much anything phallic, really. That somehow hints at the fact that he's actually a girl, but due to Phlebotinum Breakdown later, she became a he.
• Special A lists all the characters' favorites, but the one that's most notable is Kei Takishima, who prefers the cooking of his crush Hikari Hanazono over everything else in existence. He's quite literally blind to the fact that she's actually a Lethal Chef; everyone thinks he's insane when he says that she's the best cook in the world.
• Squid Girl: the title character, being a squid, loves shrimp.
• Steins;Gate: Mayuri is always chowing down on one of two things: fried chicken and bananas.
• Among the main characters of Symphogear, two clearly has their trademark favorite foods: Hibiki (rice) and Chris (anpan, bread with sweet bean paste).
• Tenchi Muyo!: Ryo-Ohki series is a major carrot addict; in one ending sequence, she manages to harvest one the size of a car and eats it whole.
• According to the preview of episode 4, Tiger & Bunny's protagonist Kotetsu puts mayonnaise on everything he eats. But because he consumes a disproportionate amount of fried rice - either because he really likes it, doesn't know how to cook anything else, or both - Barnaby assumes that to be his favorite; in the second-to-last episode, he admits that he's been learning to make the dish so he could cook for Kotetsu.
• Various characters in Tomica Hyper Rescue Drive Head Kidou Kyuukyuu Keisatsu have foods they love (Gou and curry, Karigari and steak, Mikoto and pancakes), but the most notable of these is Taiga, who is regularly seen eating and hoarding bizarre limited-edition flavors of Syori Syori Kun ice cream. Typically, even in the rare piece of official art drawn for the show, he has one stuffed in his mouth.
• Tomie demands foie gras and caviar a few times, although it is uncertain whether she likes it or just wants to have the most expensive things, seeing as she at one point in the series says that she's grown tired of eating it.
• Toriko:
  • Finding and eating their Full Course Menu (which consists of a Hors d'Oeuvre, Soup, a Fish Dish, a Meat Dish, the Main Course, a Salad, a Dessert, and a Drink) is the protagonist's stated goal from day 1. It is as crucial to the plot as collecting Gym badges is in a Pokémon game.
  • The capture level of a Full Course Menu is generally indicative of a character's strength. If someone powerful has unexpectedly low level's Full course menu, there's a good reason for it.
  • Crucially, as the final arc revealed, if the full course menu is not the character's true Trademark Favorite Food, they will be consumed by their Appetite demon.
• Trigun's Vash has a fondness for doughnuts. Early parts of the series frequently used the running gag of him "accepting" them as a gift when they really were meant for someone else. Even in the latter part of the series, he still manages to joyously gorge himself on them. Though in the anime, at some point he cries and BSOD's when he has some after the death of his friend Wolfwood.
  • The doughnuts were intended as a peace offering for Vash. Milly just didn't know he was the Vash the Stampede they'd been looking for.
  • Then there's Milly's love for pudding.
• Inverted with Fai in Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-. One extra-chapter omake has the cast eating sushi, and Fai is completely repulsed by the idea of eating raw fish. Even though it never comes up again, Fandom has latched onto this and it's become the basis for quite a few Kurogane x Fai fanfiction.
• Ciel from Tsukihime loves curry.
• Yamada from Tsuritama is only ever seen eating whitebait curry, courtesy of D.U.C.K.
• Kinniku Mantaro/Kid Muscle of Ultimate Muscle loved kalbi-don (Korean style grilled short-ribs and rice) so much, he had a song for it. And his dad Kinniku Suguru / King Muscle loved gyuudon (beef and rice) and also had a song for it. Like father, like son.
• Whilst Ataru Moroboshi of Urusei Yatsura is a Big Eater in general, he has a particular love for gyuudon (literally "beef bowl"), a kind of donburi dish made with beef—it's the food he's most commonly seen eating in the series. Lum's Stormtroopers also share a particular fixation on this dish, and it's one of the few areas in which Ataru finds common ground with them.
• Venus Versus Virus's anime has Layla loving konpeito while Lola is constantly eating chocolate bars. The manga has them both constantly munching on Pocky.
• Viewtiful Joe, in the anime, is nigh-obsessive about cheeseburgers. And in the game, they're healing items (with larger burger meals healing much more health.)
• Wandering Son: It's stated Takatsuki's favorite food is cheesecake though, and she mentions it a few times.
• Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina: the titular characters loved bread so much that the first thing to do upon arrival in a new country is to get local breads to taste.
• Jibanyan from Yo-kai Watch has a Sweet Tooth in general but especially loves eating chocolate bars.
  • Komasan is very fond of Ice cream (called Soft-cream in the original Japanese); Nate and co. even met him in Mog-Mog Burger when the bot's cone was licked by him.
• Yotsuba&! can always be bribed with ice cream. She also has an affinity for curry (Super-delicious, indeed).
• Yu-Gi-Oh!:
  • Yu-Gi-Oh!:
    • Yugi and hamburgers.
    • Jonouchi will eat anything, but seems to have a thing for chili.
    • Yami Bakura really, really likes rare meat.
    • According to his character profile, Ryou Bakura loves cream puffs. The fans have latched onto this detail to the point where a huge chunk of fan art of him features cream puffs in some way or other.
    • Pegasus and his infamous gorgonzola cheese, which he consumes with the finest of wine while reading comic books.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! GX:
    • Judai loves fried shrimp.
    • In the 4kids dub, Chumley (Hayato Maeda) has a noticeable obsession with grilled cheese sandwiches.
    • Professor Cronos has expressed a love for pasta. (Of course, seeing as his full name is Cronos de Medici, it's little wonder.)
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds:
    • Cup ramen appears to be a favorite for multiple characters, Jack, Yusei, Bruno, Crow, and Jaeger (Lazar) are all shown to adore the stuff.
    • Jaegar has a justification for liking it so much; his family is extremely poor, and ramen is one of the cheapest meals available.
    • That would also explain why Jack, Yusei, and Crow like ramen so much, considering they are from the slum Satellite.
    • Jack's favorite coffee is the Blue-Eyes Mountain, which costs 3000 yen, and he keeps ordering it despite trying to save money.
  • In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, Yuma eats rice balls as snacks, often in the middle of a duel for energy ("duel fuel", as he calls them). Astral likes them too, although he can only experience the sensation of eating when he and Yuma share the same body in ZEXAL mode.
• Yuri!!! on Ice: Yuuri and his katsudon have reached memetic levels, but he deserves it for saying that katsudon is what eros means to him.
• Zatch Bell! likes his yellowtail tuna, preferring to eat it live... while he strips down to his birthday suit, much to Kiyomaro's consternation.
  • Victoreem will drop everything to eat a melon, and then sing a goofy song about it.
• The titular zombies of Zombie Land Saga all seem to have a taste for dried squid. Tae even jumps into the audience during their second performance because she spots an old man eating some.
