I'd say Pikachu. Pretty much everybody knows that cute little bundle of happiness

I doubt that. Maybe on gaming forums.

Show almost anyone a picture of Pikachu and they'll recognise it. Some would probably recognise it as Pokemon rather than Pikachu, but they'd still recognise it.

Maybe in the US, Western Europe and Japan.
