What’s Cinnamoroll?
Cinnamoroll is a Sanrio character that was first introduced in 2001. Cinnamoroll is pure white in colour with pink blushing chubby cheeks, floppy ears, and a curled up tail that resembles a cinnamon roll.

Cinnamoroll’s origin story is that he was born amongst the clouds in the sky. One day, following the smell of cinnamon rolls, he arrived at Cafe Cinnamon where he decided to stay. He became the cafe’s resident mascot. Cinnamoroll’s special skill is that he can fly by flapping his floppy ears. He loves napping and flying around town visiting his friends. His birthday is on March 6th, and his favourite food is Cafe Cinammon's cinammon rolls.
Is Cinnamoroll a bunny?

No, just like Pompompurin is not a pudding. Frequently mistaken for a bunny because of its long floppy ears and white colouring, Cinnamoroll is actually a male puppy dog.
