Sonic the Hedgehog

**Sonic the Hedgehog** (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, *Sonikku za Hejjihoggu*), is both a fictional character and protagonist from the *Sonic* series created by Yuji Naka. He is a speedy, blue anthropomorphic hedgehog.

Lightning fast on his feet, but super slow to lose his cool, Sonic is always revved up and ready for a run-in with his enemies, as well as foil their plans whenever they tries to cause trouble to the world to show his heroic deeds.

Although he is sometimes overconfident and assumes he can deal with things on his own, Sonic also realizes he has friends to back him up when needed. Additionally, he is willing to put his life on the line for his loved ones.

"*Who, me? What you see is what you get! I'm just a guy with a need for speed that loves adventure! I'm Sonic the Hedgehog!*"

—Sonic, to Shadow.
