Line 2: {{quote\|'''[[Sonic the Hedgehog\|Sonic]]''': It's Cream and Cheese! '''Chris''': Friends of yours? '''Sonic''': More like obligatory kid appeal characters.~~\|''[[Sonic F]]''}}~~ \|''[[Sonic F]]''}} [[File:250px-Bumblebee anim toy.jpg\|link=Transformers Animated\|frame\| Little. Yellow. 'Special'. Kids love him!]] Line 29 ⟶ 30: {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'': Ed, being the youngest and most playful plays Kid Appeal Character to Spike Spiegel's Hero, Jet Black's Lancer. * Seira, the [[Token ~~Mini-Moe~~Loli]] of ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'', pumps up the kid appeal and has a whole season revolving around her... * ...though not as much as Sailor Chibimoon of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', who became a one-girl [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]] in season four after two seasons with her hanging around the older girls and playing with sparkly wands to match [[Kid From the Future\|her mom's]]. * [[Mascot\|Pikachu]] of ''[[Pokémon]]''. Very much a Type 3. Its species is extremely weak (though the [[Status Buff\|Light Ball]] makes this debatable), and particularly in the first season, it got beaten by pretty much every Gym Leader at least once, but it always got back up. It's far and away the most popular character, and it's {{color\|yellow\|yellow}}. Line 133 ⟶ 134: * [[Genki Girl\|Luste Teuber]] and [[Cute Bruiser\|Dolis Warmind]] of ''[[Rosenkreuzstilette]]''. Luste portrays herself as a hero of justice despite smashing everything in sight and likes playing with Tia, and Dolis is the leader of RKS's special ops division, being calm in the heat of battle, very intelligent despite knowing little about the outside world, and easily jealous and reacting rather badly to being called small. * The Blue Bird from ''[[Angry Birds]]'', who also doubled as [[The Lancer]]. * Many [[Pokémon]] qualify as this, but none more so ~~then~~than the series mascot, Pikachu. In fact, every generation releases an [[Expy]] based on it. ** Clefairy and Jigglypuff are also appealing to children (specifically girls), and like Pikachu, they've also received various expies based on them (Togepi, Skitty, Buneary and Minccino to name a few). Line 166 ⟶ 167: * Upita from ''Patoruzito''. In the original comic book, there was no such character, there was only Upa. * Wasabi from ''[[Sushi Pack]]''. * Enzo from ''[[~~Re Boot~~ReBoot]]'' was [[Annoying Younger Sibling\|written in specifically for this purpose]]. The producers of the show admitted that during pre-production they were instructed to put a kid in the show by the execs and they were against having a kid "mess up our kick-ass action show." But they came to love the character, feeling he was the heart and soul of the show, and after he received a [[Plot-Relevant Age-Up]] they worked to bring back [[Cloning Blues\|the original kid (for a certain value of "original")]] because they missed him. * Ahsoka from ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'' was to give the show a kid-perspective in a series filled with adults. * Richie Foley in ''[[Static Shock]]''. He replaces Frieda Goren as Static's best friend because the show was geared towards a younger audience than the comics were. He's the second definition of Kid Appeal Character. He was also given superpowers because the writers were having a hard time keeping him in the episodes, but often his attempts at defeating the enemy don't work. He's been kidnapped at least four times and he's been turned into a mind slave twice.
