Shokupan is the Japanese name for sandwich bread. For decades, the entire Family of Angulognathidae was described from this one species brought back from Japan in 2001 by visual effects artist T. Mihashi, where he found it on a bag of Japanese bread rolls. Never seen before or since, this exotic and extremely rare occlupanid species is truly in a taxon of its own.
