Japanese Cartoon Characters

While walking around Tokyo last month, I came across a toy store that had human-size statues of many of the most popular Japanese cartoon characters.
I took pictures of two of them, as these two are merchandised in just about every way you can think of.
The first one, Doraemon (no idea what it means), is a blue cat. The second one, Ampanman (Red Bean Jam Bread Man), has friends that are all different kinds of food.
Kawaiiiiiiiii! (really annoying expression used by Japanese women meaning cute)
