They probably didn't want to put two Nintendo characters in a 2-3 min clips to have a variety of pop cultural icons.

The football player Oliver Torres is named after Tsubasa, and a few months ago I was in a bus and a bunch of girls were talking about Doraemon. It's aired everyday in Spain since forever. |
Interesting, but I still don't think they are more well-known than Pokemon.

I doubt they are more recognizable than pokemon, but captain tsubasa is pretty big in most latin countries (dragon ball level)
I guess the games being in brazil and in a sports related event, the choice was really well made

Yes, "football countries" usually recognise Tsubasa.
God bless You.

Pikachu is likely Nintendo's most-recognized mascot outside of Mario. In fact, I'm sure I saw something somewhere that said just that.
Also: perfect point about Doraemon and Captain Tsubasa. I don't even know who the latter is.

They aren't as well known as Pokemon, but if they wanted to show something that mixes anime and sports Tsubasa is the best choice because he's the most popular. Doraemon has been an ambassador of Tokyo 2020 since 2013 so he had to be there.
Doraemon was broadcasted here in Brazil back in the 90s, for 4 or 5 months. I watched...
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I dunno, Pikachu made a pretty good mascot for the football World Cup in Brazil.

I think using pokémon would have been a good choice, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that using captain tsubasa is a good one too
Actually japan has so many recognizable characters that it would be hard to pick just 3

Captain Tsubasa is a sports manga/anime so it sort of fits with the Olympic theme
Doraemon is a classic so it makes sense that it's shown as well :p
They probably didn't want to flood with Nintendo IP so left it with Mario, which if compared against each other, I would say Mario is more popular than Pikachu

Talking about Brazil, where the ceremony happened, Pokemon is at least as famous as Mario here. The show aired for years straight in open TV channels and is still airing in Cartoon Network. Pikachu is very recognized here. Mario is too, but in mind share Pokemon is a stronger name in Brazil thanks to the show.
I don't know if Doraemon ever got aired here and Tsubasa aired in Cartoon Network. Brazil has a love case with Anime, I would even risk Goku is as popular here as Superman.
