time for SUPER CUTE Bincho-tan
*Punts whatever the hell this thing is over the horizon.*
A piece of wood. She rarely takes it off in the anime.
Bincho-tan is actually a type of charcoal (which is also the thing on her head) ... her name Bincho-tan is a play on words for both for the charcoal and the fact that -tan is usually used for cute (little) girls.
Oh...no...I meant I was punting the Bincho-tan thingy...
