Character description
Pac-Man debuted in the arcade game, Pac-Man, in 1980. He initially began with few personality traits, reflecting his simplistic appearance in the games, but later installments in the series such as Pac-Land and Pac-Man World expand on the character and his backstory; in these games, he is shown to have a large family that he deeply cares about, and he is characterized as a relatively laid-back hero who is willing to help wherever he's needed. His relationship with his enemies Blinky, Pinky, Inky & Clyde has also changed over the years from being arch enemies, to allies of circumstance or even friendly rivalry.

Trivia
- Shigeru Miyamoto requested Pac-Man to be playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but Masahiro Sakurai, thinking of Pac-Man's pizza shape, thought it was far-fetched at the time.[1]
- in some of the Pac-Man games, he is sometimes refered to as "Pac" for short.
