Survey participants were 256 child-care providers in Japan and 158 child- care providers in South Korea In this study we could verify that child-care providers of Japan as well as South Korea would like to recommend a character that conveys the feeling of "vigor" to children. We can also say that "vigor" and "w따mth" that child- care providers of Japan seek from characters and "emotions not in abundance", "vigor" and "elegance" that child- care providers of South Korea seek from characters are the characteristics and attributes that they would the children to acquire.
