To provide a data processing apparatus wherewith the work volume required to produce game characters is reduced. The image data processing apparatus is an apparatus for placing a plurality of polygons at predetermined positions, based on position information that places a reference polygon on a screen, applying predetermined texture to the polygons, and thus producing game character data. The game character datacomprise distance information and placement angle information for a torso polygon, a head polygon, wrist polygonsR andL, and ankle polygonsR andL. A processor computes the torso polygon based on placement information for the torso polygonon the screen (processing routine), and computes the head polygon, wrist polygonsR andL, and ankle polygonsR andL from the distance information and angle information (processing routine).
