What's the name of that schoolgirl cartoon character?
by Zla'od » 03 May 2012, 14:03
I'm thinking of a comic or cartoon character--rather famous around here, you see her on balloons and such--who is a schoolgirl, either Japanese or (less likely) Taiwanese. She wears her hair short, with bangs across her forehead. She has a round face and red cheeks (drawn as circles). I think there may be a museum in Japan dedicated to her. What is this character's name? Thanks!

The undisputed fact that creatures not of this earth have infiltrated the Volgograd region so completely that they are effectively in control? And I'd be very interested in hearing what you have to say about the Black Volga." --Red Ned Lynch, responding to "scientific" explanations of the 1908 Tunguska event in the Talkbacks of Ain't It Cool News

She is called Xiao Wanzi in Chinese, or Maruko in Japanese.

Dora?
Edit:
OK. Monkey might be right, but you gotta admit, there's a certain resemblance there.
