Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game character, protagonist of a series of games released by Sega, as well as numerous spin-off comics, cartoons and books.

The first game in the franchise was released in 1991 in order to provide Sega with a mascot to rival Nintendo's flagship character Mario. Since then, Sonic has become one of the best-known video game characters, with his series having sold over 44 million copies.

Sonic is a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog with the ability to run at the speed of sound, a talent which forms a major part of the gameplay of the series. He is 15 years old, 100 centimeters (3 ft 3 in) tall, and weighs 35 kilograms (77 lb). His birthday is June 23rd.
