Introduction and Anzio Battle
Pepperoni first appears in the OVA “Girls und Panzer: This is the Real Anzio Battle!” as a new character with Carpaccio.
She matches Anzio’s lively and energetic school image.
When Yukari Akiyama sneaks into Anzio High to find out about their secret weapon, Pepperoni is suspicious at first.
But then she is impressed and accidentally reveals the location of the P26/40 tank right away.
In the match against Ooarai Girls’ Academy, she leads the “Macaroni Operation,” using fake tank panels to trick the enemy.
However, she puts out too many fake panels and the plan fails because she forgot Anchovy’s warning.
During the match, Pepperoni fights with the Duck Team using her CV33.
She drives circles around the enemy, using the small size and speed of her tank.
Even though her tank is only armed with machine guns, she keeps coming back after being hit, making things tough for the Duck Team.
After her teammates are destroyed, she tries to reach Anchovy but is knocked out just before she can get there.
She falls out of her tank with a lot of energy, but doesn’t appear at the end of episode 7 because she’s hidden behind the P40 tank.
Movie
In Girls und Panzer der Film, Pepperoni joins Anchovy and Carpaccio in the CV33 to help in the fight against the University team.
She drives the tank, even though the CV33 is only built for two people, making it very cramped.
She assumes Anchovy’s big twin-tail hair is a wig and suggests she remove it during the match, which surprises everyone.
When the team finds the mysterious big gun, Pepperoni is the first to recognize it as the Karl self-propelled mortar, showing her tank knowledge is actually pretty good.
But, when Anchovy asks her to divide 600 by 8, she quickly does it but says "7.5," forgetting a zero, and is corrected by Carpaccio.
Later, in a video game conversation, she says "750 times" and is corrected again.
During the theme park fight, Pepperoni shows amazing driving, racing along tight roller-coaster tracks, spinning her tank on a dime, and even skipping across a pond in her tank.
She says she has never succeeded at skipping across before, but this time she does it perfectly.
At the end, when the victory is decided, she is seen eating pasta next to Sodoko.
Das Finale
In Girls und Panzer das Finale – Part 3, during the match against St. Gloriana Girls’ College, Pepperoni asks Carpaccio the meaning of "to pierce" in the middle of a fight and says she wants to eat farfalle pasta, highlighting her role as a funny character even more.
She also doesn’t know the meaning of "guerrilla.”
Ribbon Warrior
In Ribbon Warrior, she makes a common mistake by thinking Anchovy’s hometown, Toyota City, is the same as Nagoya.
Pepperoni sometimes acts so silly that even her voice actress, Ms. Daichi, worries about her and tells self-deprecating jokes about the character.
Though she wasn’t in the main anime series, Pepperoni quickly became popular with fans for her bright and funny personality.
She really represents Anzio High’s wild and energetic spirit.
