Question: Who created an anthropomorphic bobcat inspired by a Sega character?
Context: Segata Sanshiro (せがた三四郎 , Segata Sanshirō ) is a fictional character created by Sega to advertise the Sega Saturn in Japan between 1997 and 1998.  He is a parody of Sugata Sanshirō, a legendary judo fighter from Akira Kurosawa's "Sanshiro Sugata". Space Harrier (Japanese: スペースハリアー , Hepburn: Supēsu Hariā ) is an arcade video game developed and released by Sega Enterprises in December 1985.  Originally conceived as a realistic military-themed game played in the third-person perspective and featuring a player-controlled fighter jet, technical and memory restrictions at the time resulted in Sega developer Yu Suzuki redesigning it to fit a fantasy setting centered around a jet-propelled human character.  Critically praised for its innovative graphics and gameplay, "Space Harrier" is often ranked among Suzuki's best works and considered the first successful entry in the third-person and rail shooter game genres.  It has made several crossover appearances in other Sega titles and inspired clone games by various developers, while PlatinumGames director Hideki Kamiya cited it as an inspiration for his entering the video game industry.

Pete is the oldest continuing Disney character, having debuted three years before Mickey Mouse in the cartoon "Alice Solves the Puzzle" (1925). Sonic the Hedgehog is a platform video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis console.

The game features an anthropomorphic hedgehog named Sonic in a quest to defeat Doctor Robotnik, a scientist who has imprisoned animals in robots and stolen the magical Chaos Emeralds.

Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik (ドクター・エッグマン , Dokutā Egguman , ロボトニック "Robotonikku") is a fictional character and the main antagonist of Sega's "Sonic the Hedgehog" series.  His original character designer was Naoto Ohshima, who created the character as part of many design choices for the company's new mascot.

He is a red anthropomorphic echidna who is determined and serious but sometimes gullible.  He can glide and climb up walls, and is a powerful fighter due to his spiked hands.  He serves as the guardian of the Master Emerald, a huge gemstone that controls the series' integral Chaos Emeralds.

The first game in the series, released in 1991, was conceived by Sega's Sonic Team division after Sega requested a mascot character.  The title was a success, it spawned many sequels, and it transformed Sega into a leading video game company during the 16-bit era in the early to mid 1990s. Aero the Acro-Bat is a 1993 video game developed by Iguana Entertainment, and published by Sunsoft.  It was released for both the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis.

Amy Rose") , originally nicknamed Rosy the Rascal, is a fictional character in Sega's "Sonic the Hedgehog" series.  She is a pink anthropomorphic hedgehog with a cheerful, competitive personality.
