== Profile ==
===Personality traits===
He initially began with few personality traits, reflecting his simplistic appearance in the games, but later installments in the franchise, such as Pac-Land and the Pac-Man World series, expand on Pac-Man and his backstory. In these games, he is a father with a large family that he deeply cares about, and he is characterized as a relatively laid-back hero who is willing to help wherever he is needed.
===Relationships===
Pac-Man's relationship with the ghosts—Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde—has also changed over the years; they have been depicted as archenemies, allies of circumstance, or even friendly rivals.

*In the Nintendo GameCube title designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, Pac-Man Vs., Charles Martinet (voice of various characters such as Mario and Luigi) provides the voice for the narrator.
*In small leaflets celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Mario franchise, there are pictures of Box Art from several recent Mario games decorating the edge. Oddly, artwork of the NES Classics version of Pac-Man was also on there (this was the only Non-Mario game featured).
*Shigeru Miyamoto has often stated that Pac-Man is his favorite game character of all time.
