Yam Roll (also known as The Very Good Adventures of Yam Roll in Happy Kingdom) is a Canadian animated series created by Jono Howard and Jon Izen. It is comprised of three-minute and eleven-minute episodes. The show is set in Happy Kingdom, a city populated by anthropomorphic Japanese food. The cab driver Yam Roll has a frustrating life because of his friends and unrequited love. He also fights off giant monsters using his special powers, which his teacher Katcho Miso forbids him from using for fun or personal gain.
