October 15th is “Doll Day.”
It is a commemorative day established by the Japanese Doll Association and other organizations, and doll memorial services and doll thanksgiving events are held all over the country.
There are many characters in anime that are related to dolls. Some are dolls that can move of their own volition, some have large collections of dolls, some can control dolls freely, and some have such lovely appearances that they can be mistaken for dolls.
So Anime! Anime! conducted a reader survey titled “What comes to mind when you think of ‘doll’ characters?”
The survey was conducted from October 2nd to October 6th, and 492 people responded. The gender ratio was about 30 percent male, 60 percent female, and about 10 percent gave no response, with more females than males. In terms of age group, the majority were young people, with about 50 percent under 19 and about 15 percent in their 20s.
