Captain Falcon

**Captain Falcon** (キャプテン・ファルコン *Kyaputen Farukon*?), also known as **Douglas Jay Falcon**, is a character in Nintendo's *F-Zero* series of video games, co-created by Takaya Imamura and Shigeru Miyamoto. Captain Falcon has often been considered as the unofficial main character of the series. He first appeared in the instruction manual of *F-Zero*, published in 1990.[3][4] It was not until *F-Zero X* that he actually appeared in-game. Though the character's vehicle can be used in the *F-Zero* series, Captain Falcon himself was never actually playable until the *Super Smash Bros.* series. The character's only appearance outside of Nintendo games was in the anime *F-Zero GP Legend*. A leading but now defunct F-Zero X website says that Captain Falcon's real name is Douglas Jay Falcon.

Captain Falcon is a mysterious, futuristic racer from the city of Port Town. In later *F-Zero* games, he is also portrayed as a legendary bounty hunter whose past is shrouded in mystery. In both guises, he consistently thwarts the plans of Black Shadow and other evil forces, both on and off the Grand Prix circuits.

## Characteristics

In the instruction manual for *F-Zero*, Captain Falcon is described as an accomplished F-Zero pilot and renowned bounty hunter who is "rumored to be in his early 30s".[4] In *F-Zero X*, it is rumored that he is called "Captain" because he was once an officer on the Internova Police Force.[5][3] Even though little is known of his past, *F-Zero Climax* gave his date of birth and even his blood type.[6] However, those characteristics should only be considered applicable to the Game Boy Advance *F-Zero* games. These games are considered reboot continuities due to the many differences in storyline between them and their home console counterparts.

### Appearance

Brash and flashy in appearance,[7] Captain Falcon stands tall and firm. His outfit is a combination of a flight suit and body armor. It consists of blue pants, blue form-fitting armor, and a red helmet as well as a single pauldron on his right shoulder. He always carries a sidearm in a holster on his right hip (although he has only been shown to use it once).[4] When Captain Falcon removes his helmet, it is obvious that he has a scar above his left eye. His hair color is usually dark brown but was depicted as a lighter brown in the anime cartoon *F-Zero GP Legend*. He has brown eyes in the anime, but it is not obvious what color his eyes are in the video games.[8]

### Activities

When he is not taking part in races, he works as a bounty hunter. By the age of 36,[9] Captain Falcon had built a reputation as one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy, one that has earned him many enemies. This constant danger forces him to live in a sanctuary on a chain of islands off the coast of Port Town, where he spends most of his time. His desire for solitude is such that even after winning a race, he takes his award and quickly dashes home. In fact, only the chance to compete in the F-Zero Grand Prix or the lure of high bounty will lure Captain Falcon away from his archipelago fortress. Each of his home islands contains a different racetrack, allowing him to keep his racing skills at their peak while remaining relatively safe.[5][9]
