Wondering which character is the most iconic in Japan? Well, this list should give you an answer. Japanese fans were polled by Goo Ranking to find out which character they think is the most iconic. Naturally characters such as Mario and Pikachu scored highly, but not highly enough to beat the cute Doraemon. Here’s the top ten:
1. Doraemon
2. Pikachu
3. Mario
4. Anpanman
5. Hello Kitty
6. Son Goku
7. Totoro
8. Gundam
9. Godzilla
10. Sailor Moon

👍Doraemon is one of the few anime characters that are actually good
gibb goku in smash
As much as I love to see Goku in Smash 5 but Goku it’s a manga/anime character and it’s not allowed for Smash.
Also Goku’s power is stronger then every hero in Smash + the mastered ultra instinct made him even superior to a god
In summary: sadly I have to say no
Cool.
Ok it’s offical Pokemon Switch is comeing this year
As long as Mario and Pikachu beat Hello Kitty, I’m happy.
Now I noticed that Hello Kitty is more popular than GOKU?
Sad, isn’t it.
Yes
I’m honestly not surprised. Cute characters are usually very popular in Japan.
Then why Kirby isn’t on the list
I said they’re usually very popular not every single one and just because they’re not on a list doesn’t mean they’re not popular.
It’s also why THAT one Metroid Prime game for 3DS used a chibi artstyle. Just another desperate attempt to sell a Metroid game in Japan, like Other M before it with making Samus subservient to Adam (even if there are legitimate reasons why she would listen to his orders) to appeal to part of the Japanese crowd where men apparently like submissive types. And both times were complete disasters as those Metroid games still sold like crap in Japan. lol
Goku beat by Hello Kitty? This is madness!
hello kitty beats Goku. Either japanese kids can’t be taken serious anymore or the world is ending.
Anpanman? What the … is that?! I would have not bet a single penny on Totoro.
