-- Brad Pitt

**Master Bread** (Bread Pitt) is the titular protagonist of *Bread Barbershop*. He first appeared in an episode ("Best Cupcake") in Season 1.

## Background

Bread got his start while on his way to become an actor, after working on a play with the actor cheeseburger. But after finding out he's not good at acting, he met Mr. Sweet Bun who told him he should become a barber due to his perfect barber hands. Soon after Bread began barbering. He became an apprentice to Sweet Bun alongside Baguette who he eventually had to duel to gain control of the barber shop. Bread won, creating the Barbershop we know today. According to Wilk, Master Bread was also a student at Cale University, where he would have majored in hairdressing or barbering, he is also still in debt with student loans.

## Appearance

Like most residents of Bakery Town, he is an anthropomorphic bakery, he's a nice man in bakery appearing as a sentient slice of white bread with round blue eyes, a large round pink nose and a long moustache that covers over his mouth with brown human like arms, legs, hands and feet. He wears a white parlor shirt with a classic red, white and blue tie, resembling the colors of the spinning pillar seen in most Barber shops. As of May 20,2022 most viewers watched it.

## Personality

In each episode of the show, Bread is somewhat of a professional cake decorator; he takes his career very seriously and passionately enjoys helping other Bakery Town citizens feel better with his designs. As the CEO of Bread Barbershop, he hates Wilk's clumsy and childish behavior.

Master Bread is a highly skilled Barber, stylist, and businessman in Bakery Town who displays great warmth, showmanship, creativity, style and understanding of others within his work.

Bread is a no-nonsense, prideful, honest, loyal, hardworking, cheerful, energetic, charismatic, generous, disciplined, honorable fellow. He can also be compassionate and uplifting to others such as his employees and clients. He, however, can be short-tempered and wants a lot of money. But this doesn't seem to bother Bread's customers, because some new hairstyle ideas will pop into his head the very next second.

As a younger Bread before he discovered styling, barbering, and honing his skills, he was shy, timid, and unsure of himself, but his confidence grew tremendously with his reputation over many years. For example, in the episode "Bread's Hairstyling Class", he says that nothing he ever does is less than excellent.

## Skills and Abilities

**Barber Skills**-Master Bread is an expert Barber able to accurately prepare ingredients, cut, design and style attractive hairstyles made of candy for his clients at a rapid speed. He is both highly skilled and creative in his craft after training under Sweet Bun and working for many years, styling a wide range of clients in his career including regular people, celebrities and royalty for a variety of different occasions. Though of course he usually completes this work with his hands, in the episode "Bread's Crisis", he once used his feet instead when his hands became injured, proving he has great foot dexterity.

**Dancing, agility and flexibility**- Master Bread adds much physicality into his job routine, and has been seen performing stunts such as cartwheels, ballet like jumps, twirls and more showing that he has a very fit and toned body with understanding of and physical experience with dance and gymnastics.

**Comedy-** Master Bread also has also demonstrated a great sense of humor (at least for children), having made a noisy child scared of having his hair done laugh, with a hilarious dance performance diverting the child's attention long enough, for him to finally cut and design his hair.

**"Hair" removal and Makeup artistry**- Master Bread can also do makeup for clients, including adding liquid candy and flour for foundation and creating and using eye shadows and blushes, as shown in the episodes, Bully Pie and Strawberry and Chocolate. In Episode 13, he also used makeup to make a Takoyaki look like a carp fish. In the Sbora Ppang's Crush episode Master Bread used a peeling mask to temporarily take the crusts off Sbora Ppang's face.

**Styling and Designing**- Master Bread has also shown a great sense of fashion and has co ordinated outfits for others. An example being in Season 2 Episode 1, where he gave a new outfit to a young lady muffin for her job interview that was perfectly tailored to her body and suited to the occasion. In Episode 13, he made a client look like a Octopus, with an outfit. Season 2 Episode 5 showed him redesigning Potato Chip's freeze helmet for a young ice cream to have a much more appealing design.

**Problem Solving**- Having many different materials at his fingertips, Master Bread can help anyone change their look to some degree. When Butter asked for Bread's help to make his body less prone to slipping and sliding around, he layered honey on his body and also created a mask out of fishnet stockings, but Butter decided to not use the latter.

**Painting and Drawing**- Master Bread can also paint and draw. In the episode, Cursed Mirror, Bread drew a realistic hair-do on a mirror to make a ghost feel better about his looks, so good in fact that it could be easily mistaken as the real thing.

**Athleticism**-Especially when he was younger Bread was shown to be speedy on his feet with strong reflexes. As a younger person he was on the Bakery Town soccer team where he singlehandedly defeated the opposing team, also demonstrating his quick thinking, accuracy and powerful kicks.

## Relationships

**Potato Chip**- Bread has a enemy named Potato Chip, he is a businessman who runs a rival hair salon across the road from Bread's workplace,he will sometimes try to trick Bread maliciously to make him fail but Bread and his team often manage to overcome his obstacles.

**Choco-** Choco is the cashier at Bread's Barbershop of over five years, the two developed a close and trusting relationship as employer and employee, with Bread even calling her his best ever employee.

**Wilk-** Wilk is the highly enthusiastic assistant of Master Bread at the Barber shop, who is also a janitor there. Wilk highly idolises Master Bread.

Bread seemed pretty fond of Wilk early on, also seeming to notice the youngsters genuine passion and enthusiasm for the assistant role and Bread even gave Wilk multiple chances to pass his job test, before hiring him, putting his trust in the Milk Carton. The two carry on to have a respectful and caring relationship as employer and employee with Master Bread being strict and having very high standards for him.

It was shown that Wilks idolisation of Bread came when he helped a child Wilk accept his misspelt label when he first went to his Barber Shop, saying it made him unique. And this experience gave Wilk the ambition to become a Barber one day too.

**Breaden** (Father)- Breaden was the estranged father of Bread. When he was young Bread disappointed his dad often and made him angry due to his high standards.

In a flashback it was shown that whilst Bread's brothers Breadwin and Breadward started work as a lawyer and doctor, Bread was trying to become a professional actor. Thinking that this was not true, Breaden shouted at his son and called him a disgrace to his family which made a young Bread run away from family home permanently, feeling he could never be good enough to please his dad.

However after many years of no contact, Breaden decided to pay a visit to his son, and despite a brief misunderstanding they managed to rekindle their relationship, and left on good terms with each other.

**Sweet Bun**- Sweet Bun is an elderly Barber who discovered a young Bread aspiring to be an actor on the set of a play and encouraged and later taught him to become a Barber and stylist, after his hands temporarily became injured. Noticing his perfect hands for the job he called him "The Chosen One" and allowed him to style an actor, Hamburger for the play, when he couldn't. Sweet Bun showed to be a wise, kind, patient and non judgemental teacher to Bread who believed in him, having given Bread his own Barbershop. Currently the two are still in contact and occasionally spend time together, of course sharing the same passion.

**Tiramisu**- Master Bread dated a lady dessert named Tiramisu, for a short time. Wilk set up the date for him, advised by Choco so Master Bread could develop a more social life away from working as long in the Barbershop, Choco and Wilk being tired of always assisting him and working long hours unable to get enough sleep.

Whilst he genuinely enjoyed her company, Bread often found their dates cancelled at the last minute. This made Master Bread quite sad and nearly give up on the relationship until Wilk encouraged him to continue it. He then visited Tiramisu's House with a bouquet of roses and ring Wilk gave him, to find the door answered by a child who asked for his identity. When Bread brought up Tiramisu's name to see her, the child called for her with the word "Mom" and this made Bread think he was a side dish assuming Tiramisu was already married with a kid. Upset and feeling betrayed Bread ran away leaving the bouquet of roses on the floor, not realising that the child was actually joking, and called his aunt, Tiramisu "Mom". Bread then gave up on the relationship and shown visibly hurt. On a day after, Bread spotted Tiramisu and went up to her, and Tiramisu seeing his upset expression explained that she kept on cancelling their dates due to her shyness about her baldness and that she would put Cocoa Powder on her head to cover her bald spot but when the wind blew it off, she was left bald again and embarrassed. Bread however still turned away from Tiramisu after her explanation still thinking he was her side dish.
