Help Name These Anime Characters, Please?

Hello Neatoramanauts! I've been busy adding a lot of new and neat items on the NeatoShop, but yesterday I got stumped. See, I was adding several anime-related items (including some cool new Totoro items - yay! Those are hard to get) and was proceeding nicely until I got to these two Anime Zipper Bags shown above.

I vaguely remember these two from my childhood, but for the life of me I couldn't find their names. It doesn't help that my hiragana and katakana are non-existent.

Can someone tell me what the name of the anime or manga? The first correct answers will win one of those zipper bags and my everlasting thanks.


The one on the left is "Chibi Maruko-chan" or "Little Maruko-chan" roughly translated.

The one on the right is "Sore Ike! Anpanman!" which is roughly translated as "Go! Anpanman" Anpan is the Asian bread that has the red bean inside. Anpanman is a super hero whose head is made from that bread.

The red girl with pom poms (Dokin-chan) and the black guy (Baikin-man) are his enemies. They are mold/bacteria.

The little dog's name is Cheese.

Both cartoons are little children's shows. Hope that helps!

in korea the guy on the right is called hop-bbang man (he is originally from japan though) - he is a sort of flat bread with a thin layer of jam inside.

When I lived in Japan, in the early 1990s, I thought the Chibi Maruko chan theme song was the Japanese national anthem because they played it EVERYWHERE!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGpz5zhEM-w&sns=em

Yay for Chibi Maruko-chan and Anpanman! When I lived in Japan on high school exchange, my host family's little boy taught me how to draw Anpanman, Doraemon, and a bunch of other little anime icons. Natsukashii!
