What makes food kawaii
Kawaii is the Japanese word for cute, and Japan has been giving food faces for decades. Sanrio, the company behind Hello Kitty, created Gudetama, a lazy egg yolk, in 2013, and he became one of its best-known characters.
- Japanese endings: -chan is an affectionate ending used for children and friends, and -kun is often used for boys, so Lassi-chan and Pretzel-chan sound friendly straight away.
- Japanese treats: mochi is a soft cake made from pounded sticky rice, and taiyaki is a fish-shaped cake usually filled with sweet red bean paste.
- Doubling and diminutives: Bubble Bubble, Daisy Kiwikins, Otto Peachling. Repeating a sound or adding -kins or -ling makes a name smaller and sweeter.
Choose Title for a character with a rank and a home, like Duchess Bun of Teatime Terrace.
Using the names
- For drawings and stickers, let the name decide the face: Cocoa Cloud wants rosy cheeks and steam.
- For plushies, a two-word name like Gyoza Snuggle works on a sewn-in label.
- For a kawaii party, name every plate of food.
