<![CDATA[The younger generation must be inculcated with the ideology of the Pancasila, so they have strong resilience. The biggest threat, namely terrorism and radicalism, lies not only in the aspect of adverse physical attacks, but rather through ideological propaganda attacks that affect patterns of view. Nationalism and State Defense (Bela Negara) insight possessed by the Indonesian people is currently poor. For this reason, awareness and enlightenment are needed from an early age to foster the love of Indonesia Country. This can be initiated early since the school age in kindergarten. However, there has not been any character design in the educational media for the State Defense (Bela Negara) of the kindergarten. For this reason the research on how attractive characters can be designed for kindergarten students is conducted. This research used qualitative methods. Qualitative research is a scientific method of observation to gather non-numerical data. This type of research "refers to the meanings, concepts definitions, characteristics, metaphors, symbols, and description of things" and not to their "counts or measures". The design method uses the Design Process stages which consist of inspiration, identification, conceptualization, exploration, and definition. The results of this research are expected to produce a character design that interests children, so that education about the values of State Defense (Bela Negara) to children from an early age can be done effectively.]]>
