costumed characters wear costumes that usually (but not always) cover the player's face. Starting from the park's "walk-around" or "meetable" character, company mascot, school, or sports team to the novelty action player. Some costumes cover the player's face; others, especially those in theme parks, can let the players face look.

The costumed character is a key feature of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, the world's largest themed park operator, where the most character is Mickey Mouse, but characters from various media franchises are depicted in parks. As an example:
- The Disney park - featuring about 250 characters from animated movie collection, live action films and animated TV shows from Disney Studios, as well as characters from Star Wars from Lucasfilm and Indiana Jones franchises, and the Muppets franchise. Marvel Comics characters can be found in all their parks, except in Florida and Japan.
- Great Wolf Resorts - featuring character characters like Wiley, Violet, Sammy, Oliver, Rachel, and Brinley.
- Universal Garden & amp; Resorts - showcases characters from dozens of movies, TV shows and video games. These include their own properties, such as Jurassic Park , Despicable Me , and Dreamworks Animation library, to those not owned by companies, such as Harry Potter , Marvel Comics (only in Florida and Japan), The Simpsons , SpongeBob SquarePants , Peanuts and Sesame Street ( the last two in Japan only).
- Six Flags parks - featuring the Time Looney Tunes cartoon, the DC Comic superhero character, and the Scooby-Doo character .
- Cedar Point, Knott's Berry Farm, and other Cedar Fair parks - featuring Peanuts characters
- Kings Island, California Great America, Kings Dominion, Carowinds, Canada's Wonderland - to date feature Nickelodeon characters (and before that, Hanna-Barbera characters). Starting 2016, the Peanuts characters listed above have replaced them.
- SeaWorld Parks and Resorts - Beyond their original characters such as Shamu, they have American amusement park rights for muppets from Sesame Street . They also have their own show park, Sesame Place.
Other amusement parks, as well as international exhibitions and exhibitions, create characters that they can collect on their own.
The costumed character is meant to add a fantasy experience by allowing visitors to meet and interact with fictional characters, such as mascots for companies or organizations. Characters are depicted by employees in costume. Some costumes consist only of clothes and makeup (eg Sleeping Beauty, Anna and Elsa, Batman, Captain America), whereas for non-human characters generally hide the player completely and include the head mask/body (eg Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Bugs Bunny and his crew, Scooby-Doo, The Minions, Felix the Cat, Godzilla, Woody Woodpecker, SpongeBob SquarePants, and World Exposition characters like Seymore D. Fair, Twipsy, and Haibao). The old Disney Parks policy is the first character category, in which the player's face remains visible (the "face" character) is allowed to speak (usually based on carefully prepared scripts beforehand), while the second character category, where the face is covered ("fur "characters) are not allowed to speak, but can make a kissing sound, and can only communicate through pantomime.
An interesting phenomenon that is regularly seen in Disney parks with costumed characters, especially the "feather" character, is that little children can get very scared at first glance, when they are late aware of the characters they may see only on television or in a book is much larger in private.
For a human character based on a well-known media franchise that speaks to visitors, amusement park operators can prepare detailed scripts that include questions regularly asked by visitors, especially young people who have difficulty distinguishing between reality and fantasy. Players who play a role in the role are required to memorize and practice the script as part of their training so they can study their character's backstories with heart and consistently respond to the character for the visitors.
In the largest amusement parks (especially Disney Parks), popular costume characters are often accompanied by one or more assistants in regular garden uniforms, which handle customer service, security, and crowd control. This minimizes the need for players to break characters to deal with such problems. When a player really needs a break (because keeping in character is hard work), they just provide a prearranged signal, and their handler will assure the character's patron will be back in a minute.
All entertainment park operators that feature costumed characters apply strict character performance rules so their performance is never seen by the characters by visitors. In terms of more elaborate costumes, they are never seen "with their heads gone." The related rule is that players who are costumed as the same characters (usually to allow others to go on break) should avoid being seen side by side by the public.

In Japan
The Japanese name for the costume artist is kigurumi ( ???? ) . The name comes from the Japanese verb imitate ( ?? , to use ) and noun nuigurumi ( ????? , stuffed toys ) . Japanese kawaii aesthetics mean that mascot is usually used for promotional purposes. This mascot is often built with a more chibi appearance than a Western mascot, with a large head covering the upper upper body of the player and a low arm in the body. Other mascots are more like anime characters. Animegao
Animegao ( ???? , anime face ) is the type kigurumi is used to describe anime or cartoon characters. The player's face is completely covered with a stylish mask, and character costumes are worn. Animegao costume is used both in professional stage performances and by cosplayer, sometimes called "dollers", which create special masks of various characters. This is still a small part of the cosplay scene in Japan, although around 2005, it started attracting attention in other countries, including the United States, Canada, and European countries.
On television
The show currently features the costumed character dolls including Big Bird of Sesame Street, Barney of Barney and Friends, and Bear of Bear in Big Blue House . Less complex characters include Harry's Hip Hop or RAGGS Kids Club Band .
Older examples include New Zoo Revue , H.R. Pufnstuf , Banana Splits , and English series Gofers! .
In recent years, players wearing unauthorized and fake pop-culture costumes such as Mickey Mouse, Elmo, SpongeBob SquarePants, or Spider-Man have appeared on popular destinations like Hollywood Boulevard and Times Square. They usually pose for photos and collect (or, often, squeeze) tips from tourists. The 2007 documentary Confessions of a Superhero focuses on the "superhero" costumed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Since they are unregulated or authorized, there are many controversies and arrests involving costumed characters in Times Square.
Industry
The mascot industry is estimated at $ 5 million per year. Toronto, Canada, is one of the centers in the industry, with six large companies based outside the city. Artificial costumes were made at, among other places, Peru.
