Japanese Name

ピーとん (Pī-ton)

Inspired By

Inspired by the green bell pepper (ピーマン / pīman), one of Japan's most common vegetables. While many children wrinkle their noses at its slightly bitter taste, bell peppers are a colorful staple in home cooking, bento lunches, and classic Japanese dishes.

Optimistic, energetic, and impossible to discourage.

Pig Pepper knows not everyone gets excited when they see a green pepper.

But instead of feeling sad, it happily dances into every meal, convinced that one day everyone will discover how delicious peppers can be.

Whether it's stuffed peppers, stir-fries, curry, or a homemade bento, Pī-ton proudly reminds everyone that first impressions aren't always the whole story.

Its biggest mission? Helping picky eaters become adventurous eaters—one bite at a time.
