Who are the top few most popular characters in Japan ?

[BlueVegerot]

I can't seem to find many reliable popularity polls online so who would you say are the top 3-4 most popular characters from this franchise in Japan? Please rank if you can

Goku (Obviously)
Vegeta (He's the franchise's 2nd main character)
Freeza (He's by far the most popular villain)
Future Trunks (He's front and center in Heroes and XV)

[Grimlock]

• Time Breaker Bardock (he has won twice a poll Heroes made. And like I once said, XV2 would just contribute even further to his popularity).
• Goku.
• Vegeta.
• Future Trunks.
• Yamcha (as a meme).

[Vegeta_Sama]

• Time Breaker Bardock (he has won twice a poll Heroes made. And like I once said, XV2 would just contribute even further to his popularity).
• Goku.
• Vegeta.
• Future Trunks.
• Yamcha (as a meme).

I'll never udnerstand what's appealing about Time Breaker Bardock. It's just mute and stupidly overpowered Bardock with a mask on.

Because it's Bardock. I'm almost convinced Bardock is the reason they came up with the concept of Goku Black- Goku's design with a different flavour.

Goku and Vegeta are probably the only ones you can be sure of although I remember seeing Gohan's name come up in a nation wide poll a while back, so who know. Places 3 and 4 and so on are debatable and can switch depending on the story/promotion. Right now I'd say 17 might be pretty up there.
