VideoR recently conducted a study to find out the most popular characters among children living in Japan.

Nintendo and Pokemon characters dominated the list of characters well liked by children in Japan across all genders, even though it failed to have any representation in the No. 1 spot which is taken by Doraemon.

Here are the results (with Nintendo characters in English):
