Baikinman
A self-proclaimed genius scientist from Planet Germ who is determined to spread filth and defeat his arch-nemesis Anpanman with his eccentric inventions.
Story
Baikinman is the primary antagonist of the Anpanman series, arriving from Planet Germ with the sole mission of turning the world into a germ-infested wasteland. Despite his villainous intent, he is often portrayed as a comedic and somewhat pitiable figure who suffers from a massive ego and a lack of hygiene. He lives in a high-tech observatory and spends most of his time constructing elaborate robots and gadgets, most notably the giant purple robot known as Dadandan. His rivalry with Anpanman is central to the story; while he hates Anpanman's kindness and justice, he is also defined by this constant struggle. He is often accompanied by his partner-in-crime, Dokinchan, whom he often tries to impress or appease. His plans almost always end in failure, usually resulting in him being sent flying into the horizon while shouting his catchphrase about returning. He represents the concept of bacteria and filth, serving as the natural foil to the wholesome, food-based heroes of the series.
World
In a bright, storybook world of living food heroes and ordinary townsfolk, kindness, courage, and clean living oppose spreading germs and disorder.

A small, black, humanoid germ with two antennae on his head and a pair of small, translucent wings on his back. He has a large mouth with sharp teeth, often seen in a mischievous grin.

Notes
Baikinman is mischievous, arrogant, persistent, inventive, and short-tempered, driven to defeat Anpanman and spread germs. His genius-level intellect in mechanical engineering and robotics enables complex machines from scrap; weak wings allow flight, but reliance on technology leaves him vulnerable after destruction. Soap, water, cleanliness, and overconfidence defeat him. His black germ body, two antennae, grin, and purple UFO stand out.
