Another popular way to prepare and serve yakisoba in Japan is to pile the noodles into a bun sliced down the middle in the style of a hot dog, and garnish the top with dried green laver and pickled ginger. Called Yakisoba-pan, pan meaning bread, it is commonly available at school stores in Japan (Mainly in high school) or konbini (convenience stores).
Because yakisoba pan is one of a standard menu in Japanese high schools, yakisoba pan is often appeared on many Japanese dramas, manga and anime like Gin Tama and Keion.
And "Go buy me Yakisoba pan! (Yakisoba pan katte koi yo!)" is one of a typical words in Japanese school drama or manga/anime that the student in boss grade gives order to his followers. You can also find this typical words in Gintama ep 101 by Okita.
Even Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin sing a song about Yakisoba pan that is titled "Great Yakisoba pan (Sugoize Yakisoba pan)".
