Cute Cinnamoroll was inspired by a cloud in real life that looked just like a cinnamon roll to Miyuki Okumura. Initially, this character was presented to the Sanrio team in 2001 as an angelic rabbit. However, the team rejected the idea, prompting Miyuki Okumura to redesign Cinnamoroll and his world. This redesign led to the beloved character that remains popular today. Cinnamoroll was officially launched in 2002.
The story of Cinnamoroll took place in the Cinnamon Cafe. It was one fine day with a beautiful sky when Belbel, the cafe's owner, noticed a tiny puppy in the sky. It was no other than Cinnamoroll. The owner, Belbel, thought that Cinnamoroll came because of the tasty smell of cinnamon rolls, so she decided to give Cinnamoroll some. Cinnamoroll fell in love with the cinnamon roll and Belbel, so he decided to stay at the cafe.
Meanwhile, he eventually became the famous Cafe Cinnamon's official mascot because of his undeniable cuteness. In manga and animation series, the story about Cinnamoroll also tells about his supercute adventures when he wasn't taking a nap on the cafe's terrace. Also, his new adventures include his other friends Chiffon, Mocha, Cappuccino, Espresso, and Little Milk. Every story has an antagonist, so in his case, he has to face a dark cloud named Cavity.
