Although it is often cited that the character's shape was inspired by a pizza missing a slice, the founder admitted in a 1986 interview that it was a half-truth and the character design also came from simplifying and rounding out the Japanese character for mouth, kuchi (口) as well as the basic concept of eating...

What Character??
