Milk (みるく, Miruku) is a Sanrio character and a friend of Cinnamoroll. He loves milk, which is how he got his name. He is a baby boy pup who looks virtually identical to Cinnamoroll and wants to be just like him someday. His pacifier is his most prized possession, and he's skilled at gulping large quantities of milk. He has the same characteristics as Cinnamoroll - large ears and white fur, but he can't fly just yet. His favorite places to hang out are Cafe Cinnamon and the swing in his front yard.

Trivia[]

  • Thanks to his ancestor Prince Miruhi, Milk has inherited the blood of the royal family.
  • Milk doesn't like vegetables. However, when Mocha eats vegetables, Milk is inspired to eat them, too.
  • Contrary to popular belief, Milk does not live with Cinnamon. His owners are a family of four - a mom, dad, young daughter, and an infant son. They do not have names or appearances.
  • Milk's name is written in hiragana (みるく) as opposed to katakana (ミルク). This is because Milk's owner's daughter is very young and can only write in hiragana. However, in the I.CINNAMOROLL timeline, his name is written in katakana, implying that his owners are older.
  • "Ba-Boo" is a word that he can always say, although it is heard on videos such as in Fluffy, Fluffy Cinnamoroll, the movie, Cinnamon's friends (シナモンの みんなともだち), the 2023 web anime shorts, and both language dubs of Let's Roll, Cinnamoroll.
    • In his English voice (notably in the web anime shorts), he says "Gu-Goo" instead of "Ba-Boo"
  • Milk's Japanese voice actress, Ikue Otani, who also voices Chiffon, is famously known to be the voice of Pikachu, the mascot of Nintendo's Pokémon franchise.
