Pepsiman

Pepsiman is the Japanese mascot of Pepsi and the main protagonist of his commercials. He even had his own video game that's Japan-only and exclusive on the Original Playstation. His role is usually giving people a can of Pepsi, though he gets himself injured sometimes when he does so.
== Origin ==
Pepsiman was created as a result of scientist Satoru Shujinko accepting the power of the Holy Pepsi into his heart. After awaking from his transformation, Satoru, now Pepsiman, returns to the Pepsi headquarters of Japan at which he works. On his way into the building, he hears a cry from a distressed citizen, made thirsty by the slowly expanding sun. He then saves the citizen, as well as the planet, and assumes his rightful place as Pepsiman.
== Appearance ==
Pepsiman is a being made of durable sheets of shiny aluminum. The Pepsi logo on his body breaks apart the blue and grey surrounding his lower and upper half respectively.
== Trivia ==
* Pepsiman appeared in the Japanese version of Fighting Vipers for Sega Saturn.
** Unlocking requires the player to lose the first fight.
* Towards the end of Pepsiman's ad campaign, the CG animation's production changed hands; it went from ILM to a VFX company known as The Orphanage. They were responsible for creating the last Pepsiman commercial ever, which referenced the construction site stage from the Pepsiman game.
* For the longest time, many people thought that the creator of Pepsiman is comic book artist Travis Charest, thanks to this one image posted by Comic Facts on Tumblr. Charest later clarified that he did not create the character; Pepsi Co. only provided him reference art so he can make an illustration that would be used for Pepsi cans.
