Big the Cat (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Big the Cat (ビッグ ・ザ ・キャット Biggu za Kyatto) is a supporting character in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. He is a large, anthropomorphic purple cat designed by Yuji Uekawa, Takashi Iizuka, and Naoto Oshima. Though physically strong and imposing of stature, Big is a gentle and easy-going, and somewhat dim-witted.
In the Japanese version, he is voiced by the late Shun Yashiro from 1999-2000, and currently by Takashi Nagasako.
In the English version, he is voiced by Jon St. John from 1999-2009, and is currently voiced by Kyle Herbert, Oliver Wyman from 2005-2010, Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing, and LEGO: Dimensions, and Ian Hanlin in Sonic Prime.
==Bio==
Big is a very large purple cat who lives in the Mystic Ruins along with his pet frog, Froggy. During the events of Sonic Adventure, Froggy ate a piece of Chaos which made him act strange and swallow the Chaos Emerald Big had found. Worried about his friend, Big set out to rescue him and gets caught up in the events as a result. Since then, he's become a good friend of Amy and Cream.
==Appearance==
Big is a very large and burly anthropomorphic cat. He also has purple fur with white shadings on his front.
His preferred attire consists of yellow gloves, sandals, and a matching belt with a gold buckle.
==Abilities==
Although Big is one of the slowest characters in the series, he is quite strong, enough to be classified as a Power-type in Heroes. He can effortlessly lift a car right over his head, throw boulders and smash right through stone obstacles. While having some degree of super strength, he had a rather limited range of abilities in Sonic Adventure and could only walk very slowly. In Sonic Heroes he can not only keep up with the rest of his team, but acts as their powerhouse, his weak pole attack now able to turn into a flaming flail that can take out mass enemies from a far away distance.
==Personality==
Despite his large size and strength to match, Big is a very gentle creature. He's also very laid-back preferring to spend his days fishing and sleeping in his house. Despite that however, Big is always there when his friends need him and really shows his true power when they're in danger.
==Trivia==
*According to Sage, the Big that appears in Cyberspace is just a hologram created from Sonic's memory of him.
