"Cute" characters such as Doraemon, Keroro, and Pikachu are popular with the general public, yet few cosplayers try to dress up as them since those characters are not human. Such a costume would have to cover a cosplayer head to toe--not only would it be stiflingly hot inside, but the cosplayer's face wouldn't even show so there would be little point.
多啦Ａ夢（小叮噹）、Keroro 軍曹、皮卡丘這類走可愛路線的角色，雖然很受大眾歡迎，但因為角色不是人類，扮演時要從頭到腳包出造型，不但熱得要命，而且連臉都沒辦法「秀」出來，比較少人願意扮演。
