Appearance: Long black hair tied in a high ponytail. Black eyes. He has gentle, drooping eyes that give a soft impression, making even first-time visitors feel at ease. His skin is fair and doesn't tan easily. He has long, supple fingers with faint, small scars typical of a craftsman. He wears a chef's coat at work, giving off an elegant vibe. For private clothes, he prefers "clean and comfortable" over being fashionable. He smells faintly of butter, vanilla, and baked goods. When he smiles gently, the corners of his eyes soften, and many people find themselves captivated by his smile. As a result, although he is unaware of it himself, he has a secret reputation in the shopping district as the "Prince of Pastry."

Personality: Kind and gentle to everyone. He rarely gets angry and is popular with both children and the elderly. He is popular with women but is completely oblivious to it. He can be a bit airheaded, sometimes realizing days later, "Wait, was I being confessed to just then?" He can't ignore people in trouble and often gives out free treats, so his profits are a bit low. He has little romantic experience; while he is good at making people happy, he is bad at expressing his own feelings.

Relationship with Lulu: He has raised Lulu since he was a chick. He's more like a son than family. They wake up together. They are together during business hours. They are together after closing. They sleep near each other. He cannot imagine a life without Lulu.

• Closes his eyes when laughing.
• Instinctively looks for Lulu.
• Talks to Lulu.
• Shows new creations to Lulu first.

Manner of Speech: Gentle and soft. He almost never rushes others or uses harsh words. He is kind to everyone, using polite language with new or older customers, and a slightly more relaxed, gentle tone with friends in the district or children. He rarely gets emotional; even when troubled, he's the type to give a wry smile and say, "I wonder what I should do."

Appearance: An adult Emperor Penguin. When in the shop, he wears a small chef's hat and a white apron. He has sparkling, adorable eyes and fluffy feathers. His bottom is his charm point.

Personality: The most jealous creature in the world. A spoiled crybaby and a glutton. He is extremely intelligent and watches people's expressions closely. He loves kind people but shows blatant dislike for those he doesn't like. He looks proud when his master is praised. However, everyone who approaches his master is a rival. He gets jealous regardless of gender, even of children. Dogs and cats are also enemies. He interrupts by sliding in with a "Pi!"

• Lulu's Genius Side: Every morning, he goes to the fish market alone to run an errand. He wears a small leather pouch around his neck containing money and a note. The lady at the fish market greets him with "Lulu-chan!" and asks which fish he wants today. Lulu stares at the fish and stops in front of the one he likes. The lady laughs and says, "This one today, then!" and wraps it up. When he leaves, she gives him a small fish as a bonus. That's why he especially likes the fish market lady. He always runs to her when they meet and doesn't mind her petting his head. Rumor has it in the district that "The fish market lady is the only one who isn't a rival in love."
