Flame Dragon Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Goku' date=' Pikachu, and possibly Sailor Moon.[/quote'] These are 3 of the most known, mostly because those were 3 of the first to do really well out side of Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Apocryphal Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 pikachu is AWESOME and very well-known by pretty much everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogeta™ Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Goku, Yugi, and Pikachu are probably the best known. I would say Naruto and Lupin the 3rd might be up there as well but anime really doesn't get that much exposure into the General Public (in America anyway).

Shradow Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I'd love to say Kamina. But I can't, so I'll go with... the Dark Magician. Who's Ichigo? I've seen people saying him' date=' and I know it means strawberry in Japanese, but seriously.[/quote'] ichigo kursaki... he is a guy in bleach...main charicter... Well, I didn't see anyone specify a last name (though I didn't see all the posts), so it could've been Ichigo for Tokyo Mew Mew for all we know.

crimsonwendy Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Pikachu. Go up to anyone in the world and show them a picture of Pikachu and they will know who it is.even a beggar? Most likely. I think even Amish people would know who usally do not even watch T. V. most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Guy Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Pikachu definitely, Yugi Muto and Naruto are close Frigg, I wished Kaiba was well known instead of Yugi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Report - Stand Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I'd have to say Astro Boy, because he's really the only anime character my parents know a lot about, has had several anime adaptations, and even a movie made in America recently (as some of you may know), which means a bunch when you're talking about a series that originated in Japan. Since, y'know, not a many manga get ENGLISH movies, not counting dubs. Oh yah and Pikachu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure Flame Kite Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'm going with Goku, considering he's the main character of what is arguably the greatest anime franchise in the history of ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGItzDylan7158 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yugi. Every little white kid has seen him. LOL!!I think pikachu or ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Mine would have to be Lina Inverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Psyduck Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Pikachu most likely, due to the exposure and success of Pokemon in the west. Optimus Prime (and/or Megatron) is also a strong candidate, although many probably won't know him from anime. I can't say Goku because I don't know who he is. I understand him to be someone from Dragonball, but I may be wrong on that. Other than that I suspect that the best known characters will be the leads of popular series, like Yugi, Naruto, Ash, Sailor Moon(?) (Don't know who she is either, but I have to mention something not aimed at a male target audience and it's the one that seems most likely with my limited knowledge) and so on.
