Other Characters

Kageto Kinoshita (木下 陰人, Kinoshita Kageto?)

• Voiced by: Setsuji Satō

With a mushroom-like head, Kageto Kinoshita works at Pantasia Southern Tokyo branch. Though all the characters talk about making new kinds of bread, he is usually the one who ends up doing all of the work at the store while everyone else is involved with bread-making competitions. At first glance he doesn't stack up to bread makers like Kawachi and Azuma, but Kageto seems to have the strange ability to work so fast it looks like there are several of him at once as well as actually making clones of himself. This is because he was raised up in a family that works in a circus. He can also copy another's bread-making skills 95% as good as the original. Kinoshita also possesses the ability to sense if other people are talking about him elsewhere, and a frequent running gag in the show is the main characters not including him when talking about the bakery staff, which cuts to him realizing this. He often writes to his mother, who apparently lives elsewhere, telling her about whatever happens at Pantasia.

Meister Kirisaki (マイスター 霧崎, Maistā Kirisaki?)

• Voiced by: Shō Hayami

He is the manager of the Pantasia Main Branch and a bread judge. His real name is Sylvan (シルヴァン, Shiruvan?). Half-French, he is the son of Yuichi Kirisaki. The peacock feather in his mask is actually still attached to the bird itself, which is skillfully hidden by Meister's mastery of magic tricks. Additionally, when tasting bread, the feathers in Meister's mask can change, depending on how good the bread is. He seems to have some fan girls, who follow him whenever they can.

Meister had a very tough childhood, his mother was simply a young woman owning a bread store at the time when she met Yuuichi, apparently the two of them fell in love and had Meister; but when she got pregnant again with Sophie, he left to chase his dream to make a traditional style Japanese bread. After a while he came back with a few loaves of bread, just when Meister thought he came back for them Kirisaki greedily ate all the bread in front of his face, and Sophie never forgave him.

Ryuu Roumen (劉 老麺, Ryū Rōmen?)

• Voiced by: Shirō Saitō

Monica Adenauer (モニカ・アデナウアー, Monika Adenaua?)

• Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya

Monica, after winning the 59th Pastries Competition, is the best pastry chef in the world despite being a relatively amateur baker. Her dream is to open a large candy shop, as part her father's dream. Initially appeared as part of the American Team, she and Suwabara fell in love with each other, and challenged Pantasia together in Yakitate! 25/Yakitate!! 9. Upon losing to Azuma, Suwabara attempted to commit a harakiri. In order to save him, Matsushiro claimed that Monica was pregnant, Suwabara being the father of the child. However, they have most likely never done it, since Suwabara said, "Is it possible to make a woman pregnant just by a hug like this?" Later in the series, Monica really does become pregnant, and has given birth to a son by the series' epilogue.

Katsuo Umino (海野 カツヲ, Umino Katsuo?)

• Voiced by: Mayumi Tanaka

One of Kawachi's opponents in the Newcomer's battle, he was able to design a very nice looking bread in the shape of his wife. However, after he lost, he began to wander the mountains, and met a pig, who taught him all about pigs. After granting the pig's final request—-eating it-—his face had a reaction, causing his face to resemble a pig. Due to this knowledge, he is currently the "All-Japan meat Championship's Grand Champion", won by his special tonkatsu made with kaisersemmel bread crumbs.

Brad Kidd/Kid (ブラッド・キッド, Buraddo Kiddo?)

• Voiced by: Kenyū Horiuchi

A supporting character who was Kuroyanagi's classmate in college and the president of a major detective agency in America. The character is a parody of the do-it-all American Brad Pitt. Kidd is used in many instances in the manga and anime as a sort of deus ex machina in reactions or flashbacks from a masseuse to an attorney or the head of a private investigation firm. However, in the anime, the character is only referred to as Kid, as evidenced by his building with the "KID" logo atop as well as a nametag he once wore, both in English characters. In the Tagalog dub, he is called "Totoy."
