Edible Redhead - Box Lunch

For your lunchtime pleasure, I'm presenting a series of my favorite bento boxes. Bento are Japanese home-prepared meals served in special boxes, usually eaten for lunch at work or school. These days, bento enthusiasts from all over the world share their creations on Flickr.

Another highly artistic bento today, via Splutch. We've got a lovely redheaded girl (if this is some famous character I don't know about, please do tell) made of turkey, egg, fish cake and nori, along with a nori man, several tamago rollups, some turkey and cucumber rollups and a strawberry jelly.

Pippi was my first guess, but wouldn't she have more freckles?

I immediately assumed it was Anne of Green Gables. It looks a bit like the Japanese animated version of Anne.

Anne of Green Gables was my first thought, too.

My first thought was Anne of Green Gables since she's que popular in Japan, but the somewhat ominous man's silhouette throws me off.

It could also be Anne of Green Gables.
