A Daruma doll is a traditional round Japanese doll modelled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen tradition of Buddhism. They are commonly red and depict a bearded face, but can appear in many different colours. The dolls are weighted at the bottom, so stand back up if they are pushed over, hence they are often paired with the Japanese saying "Nanakorobi Yaoki", "seven times down, eight times up", an expression of perseverance against misfortune. Bodhidharma, who is known as Daruma or Dharma in Japan, is famous for having meditated alone, facing a wall in a cave for nine years. According to popular legend, this intense meditation made him lose the use of his arms and legs, which is why Daruma dolls are limbless. Bodhidharma supposedly cut his eyelids off to prevent himself falling asleep, which is also why the dolls have wide, staring eyes. Daruma dolls are often given as gifts because of their connotations with perseverance and luck. They are usually sold without pupils, as the receiver of the Daruma is meant to paint in one eye (to represent a task they must overcome) and then the other eye (when the task is complete). Daruma dolls also appear in media as Daruma Otoshi, a type of game where the objective is to hit a piece out of a stack without the other pieces falling down. Think Jenga, but with cylindrical pieces and a Daruma doll theme. See also Maneki Neko, a popular Japanese ornament that depicts a waving cat. |

Pokémon Sword and Shield introduces a variety of Darumaka/Darmanitan that adapted to life in Galar, an Ice-type themed after a snow Daruma (better known in English as a snowman). Its variety of Daruma Mode reignites its vestigial flame glands, causing it to become an Ice/Fire type and boosting its Attack and Speed with no downsides. | |

Daruma dolls are the very first challenge for the students in As the Gods Will Arc I. The head of their teacher explodes and a Daruma doll emerges. This Daruma doll forces the students to play a game of Red Light, Green Light. Anyone who is caught moving is killed. The goal is to reach the Daruma doll and turn it off before the timer reaches zero and everyone is killed regardless. And those who complete the challenge, sometimes specifically to save their classmates, find there's another rule: only the one who reaches the doll gets to live. | |

Pokémon Black and White: Darumaka and its evolution Darmanitan are Fire-type Pokemon resembling a cross between a Daruma doll and a monkey, known for their strong physical attacks. Some Darmanitan possess the ability "Daruma Mode" (localised as "Zen Mode"), which causes them to retract their limbs at low health and turn to stone, becoming a Fire/Psychic-type with low speed and physical attack but strong defences and special attack. | |

During the The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl, several characters stage a play called The Codger of Monte Cristo. One of the characters in the play is named Princess Daruma and wears a dress decorated with a Daruma face. Later in the film, the protagonist Otome, wears a bulbous Daruma costume when she takes part in the play herself. | |

In Onmyōji (2016), Daruma dolls appear as a special type of Shikigami that act as Enhancers. Called "Dharma Eggs" in the game, there are four different types: Black, White, Red, and Blue. Dharma eggs can participate in battles, but their main ruction is to level up other Shikigamis and their abilities. In the anime adaptation of the game, some of the characters discuss how Daruma dolls can eat without hands. It turns out the Daruma feed each other with little spoons! |
