9! The Whole Trio
10
11* BalloonBelly: All of them get this when they eat a lot. Except for Horrorman, because, well, he's a skeleton.
12** Whenever they get a big belly, this can also rip their costumes if they're in disguise as someone else.
13* BigEater: Oh boy, do they have a big craving for eating food.
14* ButtMonkey/ TheChewToy: Oh boy, they suffer a lot of this big time.
15* MasterOfDisguise: They can easily disguise themselves as an innocent bystander or another character.
16** WholesomeCrossdresser: They can even go as far as crossdressing as the opposite gender!
17* TerribleTrio: Baikinman is considered the leader, while the latter are the henchmen (though they can be considered equals).
18* ATwinkleInTheSky: Pretty much every time they get punched by Anpanman towards the end of the episode.

20!Baikinman/Bacteriaman (ばいきんまん)
21[[quoteright:235:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/baikinman_7659.png]]
22
23-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyuseiNakao (Japanese), Michael Kesser (English), Creator/EduardoGarza (Latin American Spanish)
24-->'''Debut:''' 1
25
26The main antagonist of the series. An alien from another planet, his egg followed the same shooting stars that would give birth to Anpanman of Earth.
27* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In the original books, Baikinman was introduced into the series in 1979, six years after the books were made. In both the anime and Greek adaptations, he was in the show from the very start.
28* ArtEvolution: His antenna became smaller, and his sclera became whiter.
29* AshFace: Has this a few times. Best example was in "Let's Play: ABC" after he drew a dragon and it burnt his face.
30* BadSanta: He pulls this a few times in the Christmas specials.
31* BizarreAlienBiology: Baikinman's teeth function rather strangely. It looks as if he is always grimacing and talking through his teeth (he is never seen not showing them), but it's almost ambiguous as to whether they are actually typical teeth or rather a mouth area resembling teeth; they move rather flexibly when he speaks. [[https://i.imgur.com/h4lI4Er.jpg At one point he is seen blowing a trombone with his teeth (and puffed out cheeks coming from them!)]]
32* CartoonyEyes: He has a slight hint of pink in his eyes.
33** TechnicolorEyes: There was even a case where in some early episodes, he had magenta irises.
34* CoolStarship
35* CrazyPrepared: He'll always have his UFO ready whenever his identity is found out.
36* DeadpanSnarker
37* TheDeterminator: He will ''never'' give up on his quest to defeat Anpanman...it is literally his biggest motivation for living!
38* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: Did this in the 2010 film short when he was in a race with the others.
39* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He does care for Dokinchan as a sister.
40* EvilLaugh: ''HAHIHUHEHO!!!''
41* EvilKnockoff: Had one in the 2009 film short.
42* {{Foil}}: Baikinman is pretty much the polar opposite of Anpanman in almost every respect. While Anpanman is kind, polite and humble, Baikinman is mean, rude and arrogant. Anpanman feeds hungry people part of his head and takes pleasure in helping people, Baikinman steals other people's lunch and takes pleasure in spoiling their fun.
43* ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat: Baikinman can fly using his little wings (though not too much), but he rarely uses them due to him relying on his machines that viewers don't realize this. He would often forget about it until it gets into his head.
44* GadgeteerGenius: Why else would he have his spaceship and all of his machinery other than to defeat Anpanman?
45* GratuitousEnglish: He often says "Okay!", Spicy!", "Chance!", and "Let's Go!".
46** LanguageBarrier: While he does understand English, he has trouble trying to speak it. This is proven in the Edutainment specials.
47* TheGrinch/ TheScrooge: {{Inverted}}. While he doesn't hate Christmas, he does like ruining it for others.
48* GuysAreSlobs: Other than his hatred for baths, he doesn't really keep his lair really organized and tidied up.
49* HarmlessVillain: Although he uses violence, he never seems to have a desire to kill.
50** NotSoHarmlessVillain: However, he does become like this when he gets [[TookALevelInBadass super powerful]].
51* HatesBaths: He doesn't like taking baths, which shrinks him to a tiny fly and changes color into white instead of black. Though he doesn't seem to have a problem of washing his hands in the edutainment specials.
52* IChooseToStay: After saving the Princess Powder Snow at the end of the 2005 film, she asks Baikinman if he wants to join her in the kingdom. [[spoiler: He chooses not to.]]
53* JaggedMouth: His mouth is constantly in a zigzagged shape.
54* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being a jerk, he can often show his nice side.
55* KarmaHoudini: He never gets any punishment for any of the damage he's done. The only punishment he mostly gets is getting punched by Anpanman or any of the other heroes.
56* KickTheDog: He'll often be a backstabber to whoever he's trying to convince that Anpanman is the bad guy. Like when he kicked Panpon off of his UFO after he was done rusting Uncle Jam's oven.
57* LargeHam: He can be quite dramatic and is almost theatrical in his speech and actions. WordOfGod has also confirmed that the purple dot on his chest is actually a microphone to make his voice sound even louder!
58* LiteralSurveillanceBug: He uses one to spy on what Anpanman and the Bakery staff to see what's going on.
59** MindControlDevice: He also made a few of them as mind control devices, like what he did on Tin Kid.
60* MadeOfExplodium: Pretty much every time he gets punched, his ship explodes into pieces.
61* MeaningfulName: '''Baikin''' is Japanese for "bacteria" and "germs".
62* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In one episode, he and Dokinchan found a secret treasure in the middle of the desert. They poked it, only to unleash some underground water which created an oasis. The main heroes actually thanked him for finding it.
63** Another example was when Motchi-kun was heading the wrong way to Oshiruko-chan's house and he showed him the right path. Though that was done on purpose since he likes Oshiruko-chan's dishes.
64* OverlyLongTongue: Uses this either when he eats or as a weapon.
65* RedEyesTakeWarning: If you look closely, his sclera has a pink-ish hue. Of course, he’s very evil.
66* RedOniBlueOni: In the edutainment episodes, he's the red to Anpanman's blue.
67* RememberedICouldFly: There are a few times where he'll fall off of something, but he remembers that he has wings.
68* SecretIdentityApathy: He knows Naganegiman's real identity, but he doesn't plan to reveal it to everyone. Mostly because he knows that he'll always defeat him, no matter what.
69* ShrinkRay: He built one in an episode where he plans to use it to shrink his nemesis, only to get shrunk himself thanks to Horrorman.
70* SmokeOut: He uses this to get away.
71* SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome: Similar to Anpanman's first appearance, he started out as a infant/toddler until the second half of the episode. Though somewhat {{justified}} since he's an alien.
72* TakeOverTheWorld: His original main goal was to make the whole world get infected by germs. However, he seems to stray away from this plan after his debut.
73* TemporaryLoveInterest: He'll often have a crush on certain female characters, but forget about them by the next episode.
74* TheToothHurts: Prior to Mushibakinman's debut, Baikinman would often try to give people toothaches. Best example was in Hamigakiman's debut episode.
75** Baikinman would often give himself a toothache, either because of Mushibakinman or when his teeth just lacked brushing. This happened to him in one of the edutainment specials when he and the other kids were eating lunch and they're about to brush their teeth. Anpanman warned Baikinman to brush his teeth, but he ignored this because he wants to play. However, he felt a pain in his mouth, and Hamigakiman came to help.
76** TerribleTrio: With both Dokinchan and Horrorman. Also with his brothers Aokinman and Akakinman.
77* VillainRespect: Did this to Banna (who is the main protagonist of the 2012 film). Despite this, Baikinman's an antagonist while Banna is a protagonist
78* VillainSong: Has a few of them, but his most recognizable one is "Ikuzo! Baikinman".
79* VitriolicBestBuds: With Horrorman.
80* VocalEvolution: Similar to Anpanman, except in the opposite way. He went from having a gruff voice, to eventually having his current screechy voice.
81* WeaksauceWeakness: Originally in his early appearances, he usually gets defeated by being cleaned with soap or toothpaste, which makes him shrink. This was later changed for being punched, which is more famous. Though they brought back his original weakness in the more recent episodes.
82* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: There was one episode where he did actually want to smash Anpanman's head while he was napping in a meadow. Unfortunately, this plan didn't work as he started to feel sleepy as well.
83* WingsDoNothing: Somewhat subverted. He can use his wings for flight, but not for a long time due to him being weak.
84
85! Dokinchan(ドキンちゃん)
86[[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dokinchan_6533.png]]
87
88-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiromiTsuru (Japanese, ''original; debut story - 2017''); Creator/ReiSakuma (Japanese, ''temporary replacement following Tsuru's death; 22 December 2017''); Creator/MinaTominaga (Japanese, ''official replacement; 2018 onward''), Creator/MariaFernandaMorales (Latin American Spanish)
89
90-->'''Debut:''' 13a
91
92Baikinman's female partner in crime.
93* AmbiguousSituation: In episode 759b when she met Furudokei-san, they revisited her memories of when she first fell in love with Shokupanman and after freeing him, Past Dokinchan hid behind the bushes and reveals she bonked herself on a tree. Later uring the fight, Dokichan was able to top Baikinman from attacking Shokupanman. But it was never stated if that Dokinchan that stopped him was the one that hid behind the bushes or it was the future Dokinchan. Noy helping the fact that it never states during Furudokei-san's time travelling if they can or not interact.
94* ArtEvolution: Her eyes were first elliptical, but quickly evolved into half circles.
95* BalloonBelly: Like Baikinman, she often has this, despite the fact she's trying to lose weight.
96* BigEater: Like Baikinman, she has a big appetite.
97* BlushSticker
98* ClingyJealousGirl: She can often be like this if she sees another girl with Shokupanman.
99** She was also like towards Princess Kuroyuki when she ruined her summerhouse and stole Baikinman from her hands.
100* CoolStarship
101* DirtyCoward: When she's with Baikinman on his evil schemes, she often flakes out and throws him under the bus when things go wrong or when she senses Anpanman is going to step in.
102* DropInCharacter: She often appears at the last minute in a battle if she doesn't appear at all.
103* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference:
104** In her debut in the picture books, she had a taller, lankier appearance than many other characters. But since the anime, her proportions became shorter and squatter to match everyone else.
105** She also used to carry a spear that was quickly dropped.
106* EvenEvilHasStandards: Other than her love for Shokupanman, she is not a complete slob like Bakinman and likes things clean.
107* EvilCounterpart:
108** To Bakato. As Batako is very kind, Dokinchan
109* FieryRedhead: While she doesn't have hair (wigs don't count), she is red, and does have a fiery background whenever she's pissed off.
110* TheGirlWhoFitsThisSlipper: Somewhat {{defied}}. Towards the end of one episode where she's in disguise as a crayon princess, she drops her red heel in the snow. Shokupanman picks it up, but he never manages to find out what happened to her.
111* JerkassToOne: Though Dokinchan acts like a nice person to everyone else, she is really mean to Baikinman. She can be grateful if he does or gets something for her, but when he doesn't, she doesn't even want to hear why or what happened. And boy, he really gets in a lot of trouble even if he tried but somehow didn't succeed.
112* MeaningfulName: '''Doki-doki''' is a Japanese onomatopoeia for a rapid heartbeat.
113* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Usually lets Shokupanman go if Baikinman's captures him. Then again, what do you expect from her?
114** This doesn't really count for her if she's the main focus of the episode.
115** She also did this in her debut episode where she threw her spear at Anpanman to shrink him, only to accidentally hit him with the blue side, which made him grow larger.
116* ParentalFavoritism: While not related, she's Baikin Sennin's favorite more than Baikinman.
117* PlayfulCatSmile: She'll often pull a mischievous cat smile whenever she sees Shokupanman.
118* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She tends to do this at the climax of a fight if she either feels defeated, hungry, or just just doesn't feel like it.
119* SpoiledBrat: Though she is not rich or anything, she is demanding, impatient and goes on a rampage when she doesn't get what she wants. She knows she can get Baikinman to do anything for her, though he usually fails or it's somehow not good enough for her anyway.
120* SweetTooth: She ''loves'' snacking on sweets. So much that Baikinman made her a giant cake for her birthday, around ten times the size of herself!
121** TerribleTrio: With both Baikinman and Horrorman.
122* {{Tsundere}}: A bit more complex since she clearly has both a type A and B, but she uses both personalities for different people.
123* VagueAge: While her sister Kokinchan is a child, it's unknown what Dokin's exact age is. She would be at least late teen/early adult.
124* VillainessesWantHeroes/ VillainousCrush: She has an unreciprocated crush on Shokupanman. She even has merchandise on him!
125* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She'll go like this whenever something bad happens to Shokupanman.
126* VocalEvolution: Her voice became softer in the later episodes.
127* WouldHurtAChild: Though she never intentionally intends to kill them (remember, this is a kids show), she does point a weapon at the kid characters if Anpanman does try to hit Baikinman. This is just to weaken Anpanman so Baikinman can attack back.
128** WouldntHurtAChild: Whenever the episodes focuses on the villains, it shows that Dokinchan wouldn't let Baikinman attack a kid. Best example was when they were taking care of Baby Donuts.
129
130! Horrorman/ (ホラーマン)
131
132[[quoteright:223:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/horrorman_5868.png]]

135
136A friendly skeleton who works at Baikinman's lair. Due to him originally being a movie character and later part of the anime, he has two different backstories. In the 1991 movie, he was a mentor to Chibigon and teaches the dragon how to use his powers. In the anime, Baikinman and Dokinchan discovered Horrorman in a cave as they were trying to find an opponent to defeat Anpanman. And like with some characters at the time, Baikinman tricks Horrorman into thinking that Anpanman is a bad guy. But this backfired due to Horrorman's obliviousness, as he sees Anpanman as a chil guy. Despite this, he hangs out with the villains due to his affection with Dokinchan.
137
138* AcePilot: Despite not having a UFO, he's pretty good at controlling Baikinman's.
139* AffablyEvil: Despite being a skeleton and working for Baikinman, he's very friendly towards others.
140* AmbiguouslyHuman: Unlike Baikinman and Dokinchan who are aliens, Horrorman is a skeleton, but it's unknown if he was human at one point due to how the series claims that human characters are fairies.
141* AscendedExtra: He originally appeared in the third film who used to reside in Dragon Island with Chibigon. He then appeared in the television series in episode 159.
142* BootstrappedLeitmotif: His basoon theme was actually Chocolatepanman's theme, who originally appeared the year before and another character Kaneta Kimotsuki voiced.
143* CharacterDevelopment: In his original appearance, he was a side character who was a JerkWithAHeartOfGold towards Chibigon. After he joins the villain's side, he ironically became much nicer than before.
144* ChestInsignia: His two crossed bones on his shirt. Also an "S" when he turns superhuman.
145%% * CloudCuckooLander
146* CoolBigBro: He's like this towards Horako and Poppo-chan.
147* DemBones: Well, he IS a living skeleton.
148* {{Flanderization}}: He's become more obsessed with trying to win Dokinchan's heart since his debut in the television series.
149* IAmSong: He has a song called "Horrorman Mecha Network Cha Cha", which starts off with a hard rock guitar riff, but then changes into a Jamaican-style music.
150** {{Leitmotif}}: Pretty much whenever he shows up, a instrumental version of the song will play. Here, the oboe will play the parts Horrorman sang in the song.
151* LethalChef: While he's not a bad cook, he was like this when he was learning to cook pasta with Aunt Pasta. He eventually gets better at the end.
152* LiteralSplitPersonality: Had this when he went inside Bakinman's cloning machine.
153* MistakenIdentity: Did this with Shokupanman when Baikinman decided to make him look identical.
154* MysteriousPast: Unlike Baikinman and Dokinchan where they reveal where they came from, we don't know much about Horrorman's backstory. The closest we have is him being a mentor to Chibigon, but that's only in the movie canon and not in the show itself. In the 2007 film short, Horako claims that Horrorman was a prince at one point, but because of how she is a UnreliableNarrator, this might not be true.
155* NightmareFace: Pulled this a few times.
156* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Since the fourth opening.
157* PullingThemselvesTogether: Every time he falls apart, he always has to put himself back together.

159* RealMenWearPink: He wears this whenever he's cooking in the kitchen.
160* RedOniBlueOni: His two clones were like this. His Red clone is a brute, while his Blue clone is soft and a strategist.
161* StalkerWithACrush: Towards Dokinchan.
162* StandingBetweenTheEnemies: This happened to him when he was caught between Hamigakiman and Mushibaikinman.
163* ThoseTwoGuys: With Baikinman.
164** TerribleTrio: With Baikinman and Dokinchan.
165* TookALevelInBadass: In some episodes, he turns into a muscular buff who can [[SuperSpeed run fast]] and [[SuperStrength carry things that he normally can't carry]]. This is only temporary.
166* ThrowTheDogABone: Whenever he's the main focus of an episode, he'll usually give something to Baikinman and Dokinchan regardless of their actions. Like when he made Dokinchan a candle that's shaped like her head.
167* VerbalTic: He usually says "hora".
168* VitriolicBestBuds: With Baikinman.

192* ATwinkleInTheSky: They usually share this with Baikinman in some episodes.

Though this doesn't last as he gets swooned over by Dokinchan's voice and takes her for a ride on his flying cloud.

After having trouble on learning the spell, Baikinman figures out on cloning himself to stop Anpanman. But this was foiled by Currypanman as he uses a net between some trees to slingshot the swarm away.

Shokupanman and Currypanman tried to stop their plan by using a vacuum to suck the ghosts up, but the ghosts were able to turn into a giant monster. Their plan was foiled after Bakeru-kun rescued Anpanman and Melonpanna and used his shape-shifting abilities to trick Hiyari, and was able to get the likes of the Yukidaruman and Kaze Konkon to freeze his giant ghost.

376* MadScientist: Even more so than Baikinman.
377* OutOfFocus: Despite being a prominent character during the show's first two decades, Hiyari started to vanish from the show by the time transition to widescreen, and was heavily featured on the show's villains on the second episode title card.

388
389Dokinchan's little sister who often pops up on occasion to inconvenience the heroes and villains alike.

391Due to him originally being a movie character and later part of the anime, she has two different backstories. In the 2006 movie short, Kokin-chan arrives on Earth as an egg much like Baikinmn and Dokinchan did, and causes trouble for both heroes and villains due to her tears making everyone cry until her sister pops in to calm her down. In the anime, Kokin-chan arrives on Earth as an egg like in the movie, but her egg crashes onto Baikinman when he was trying to sneak attack Anpanman for some food he was delivering.
392
393* AffablyEvil: Other than being a brat who cries about whatever she wants, she's nice towards both the heroes and villains. She's only placed as a villain due to her being related to Dokichan.

395* BlushSticker
396* BrattyHalfPint: Like her sister, she doesn't like it when things don't go her own way.

404* {{Foil}}:
405** To Namida-chan: Both characters have powerful tears that cause others around them to cry. But unlike Namida-chan who just cries because she gets upset easily due to her shy nature, Kokinchan purposely makes others cry due to her being a spoiled brat.

407** In the second episode title card since the show's transition to widescreen, Kokin-chan was seen alongside some of the other villains (though Frankenrobo-kun and Taunki-Oni aren't exactly villains). Prior to the show's transition, Kokin-chan interacted with Baikin-Sensei and Horrorman, she didn't interact with the other characters shown in the title card. She would later interact with both Kurayamiman in 1156b (2013) and the Ice Queen in 1551b (2021) but hasn't interacted with the likes of Hiyari or Frankenrobo-kun.
408** Despite both appearing in the same year 2006, Kokin-chan hasn't interacted with Poppo-chan up until 17 years later in 1619a (2023).

419A giant elephant type creature who lives in the cold mountains. He gives people colds whenever he comes by.
420
421* AmbiguouslyEvil: Kaze-Konkon's personality in the series varies on how evil he is, due to how his powers are ice based and can cause people to get sick. Not helping that in the openings he is always with the other villains. In some of the early episodes, he was often tricked by Baikinman when he doesn't want to get involved. But the later episodes would just actively team up with him.
422* AllBalloonsHaveHelium: Although not a balloon, he'll inflate himself with his own air if his nose is tied up.

But Baikinman just wants the magican to trap the crew and Anpanman inside his dark world to torment them.

484* VillainTeleportation
485* WeaksauceWeakness: She and her minions are vulnerable to fire.
486* WinterRoyalLady
487* YukiOnna: Now how much of a youkai she is debatable as she isn't a ghost like the traditional yuki-onna (though considering kappas exist, this may not be farfetched). But the one thing she does have from the said creature is that she traps her victims in ice crystals.
