==Origin==
Pepe the King Prawn, whose full name is Pepino Rodrigo Serrano Gonzales, is a muppet (marionette & puppet) originating from Spain. His heavy Spanish accent often leads him to humorously mispronounce the names of other Muppets, referring to Kermit as "Kermin" and Miss Piggy as "Miss Picky".
Pepe’s character was created during the production of "Muppets Tonight" and inspired by his puppeteer Bill Barretta's family member, who had a habit of ending sentences with "okay". Initially imagined as a mouse, Pepe eventually became a shrimp, and his final design was influenced by a kitchen worker Barretta knew. Pepe first appeared on "Muppets Tonight" in 1996 alongside Seymour the Elephant in the role of elevator operators while dreaming of being star singers.
After "Muppets Tonight", Pepe started appearing alone, gaining popularity in the film "Muppets from Space", where he collaborated with Rizzo to convince Gonzo of an alien request. In 2002, he became the official spokesprawn for "Long John Silver's", which massively increased his popularity and led to a big number of merchandise requests. Pepe's charm and improvisational skills have made him an important character character in various Muppet projects, hosting behind-the-scenes DVD extras and appearing in films like "The Muppets" (2011) and "Muppets Most Wanted" (2014). Today, he remains one of the most well-known and beloved characters in the Muppet franchise, constantly appearing in series like "The Muppets" and "Muppets Now", where he hosts his own segments. such as "Pepe's Unbelievable Game Show".
