Face Characters?

I was wondering if anybody had any pictures of face characters specifically in the Tokyo Disney parks. I want to become a face character some day and I like seeing how the face characters look at the different parks. I've only been to WDW so I'm curious to see the different and better (from what I've heard) face characters.

Re: Face Characters?

From the pictures I have seen, the face characters are very similar in all the resorts except Paris.

Greenfield is a good sight. It may take a while to browse, but there's definitely pictures of face characters at TDR.

GREEN FIELD

Keep in mind that Tokyo tends to have face characters do multiple roles. They don't usually hire ethnic looking face characters; so if you're hoping to go as a Pocahontas or Jasmine specifically, you might be out of luck. The reason being: body paint can make someone white look ethnic. Face characters are expected to do both parades and shows and meet and greets.

If you can dance well, they need face character lookalikes for shows such as One Man's Dream II. Those spots are a bit more relaxed on how closely you need to look like the character. And if you think you look like Ariel, then there is the role where you only do that, in the Mermaid Lagoon Theater as an aerialist. Or of course, if you look like Mr. or Mrs. Claus, you can go over as that single role.

My brother's wife was Cinderella at TDL many moons ago. At that time, she was sent from WDW. She was hired in Orlando, had been Cinderella, Ariel, Snow White in WDW. When TDL was very new, she and others were sent to Japan for a year, where she was Cinderella most of the time, in parades and on foot. She loved it.
