It doesn't look that appetizing but if my mom or girlfriend would prepare me that, I'd still eat it considering the effort it took to make one. I wonder how long it takes to prepare one?

It's just that the Japanese always take the first syllables for actual usage. Just like Pasokon and other things. キャラクター弁当 is read as Kyaraktaa Bentou (Character Bento).

Like Show said, looks like it's done by Miho mainly, w/ Nao in her username. And in your first paragraph, you've got a little mis-translation: "It is called “Kyaraben” (キャラクター弁当)" The kanji you have there is "kyarabentou." If you want "kyaraben," then you need to take off the ending 当 (tou). If you check her profile, a family name isn’t listed (that I saw).

You have a good sense of humor :-) Miho is probably mom's name and Nao her son or daughter. The last 'chin' is like chan which follows first name in casual conversations between friends or relatives. I guess -chan is commonly used while -chin has limited use. “the winner’s blog is in Japanese and I can’t be sure I translated her name correctly…I come up with Miho Chindonya.”
