What this is
Bandai's 2014 survey of children's favourite characters across Japan: Pokémon 8th with 3.4% of answers, behind Yo-kai Watch in 2nd.
How it’s built
- Read from Bandai's published report of its May 2014 survey, in which 800 parents of children up to twelve named their child's favourite character.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Pokémon had been 3rd with 8.1% a year earlier, before the Yo-kai Watch anime began.
The values
- N: 800
- Pokémon rank: 8
- Pokémon share: 3.4
- Yokai watch: 2
- Doraemon: 5
- Anpanman: 1
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
