Guybrush Ulysses Threepwood is the main character of the ''Monkey Island'' series of computer adventure games by LucasArts. Guybrush is voiced by actor Dominic Armato in the third, fourth and fifth games, as well as the enhanced remakes of ''The Secret of Monkey Island'' and ''Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge''. Though a "mighty pirate" by his own account, it is a running joke throughout the games for characters to garble Guybrush Threepwood's unusual name, either deliberately or accidentally. The origin of the name "Guybrush" comes in part from Deluxe Paint, the tool used by the artists to create the character sprite. Since the character had no name at this point, the file was simply called 'Guy'. When the file was saved, Steve Purcell, the artist responsible for the sprite, added 'brush' to the filename, indicating that it was the Deluxe Paint "brush file" for the "Guy" sprite. The file name was then "guybrush.bbm", so the developers eventually just started referring to this unnamed 'Guy' as "Guybrush".〔(GameSpot, "Storytime with Ron Gilbert - PAX Australia 2013 Keynote" ), ''Ron Gilbert'', 7 July 2013, accessed 22 March 2015〕 Guybrush's surname "Threepwood" was decided upon in a company contest and is derived from P. G. Wodehouse's family of characters including Galahad Threepwood and Freddie Threepwood (with whom he shares similar characteristics). "Threepwood" is also rumoured to have been the name of Dave Grossman's RPG character.〔(GameSpot, "Storytime with Ron Gilbert - PAX Australia 2013 Keynote" ), ''Ron Gilbert'', 7 July 2013, accessed 22 March 2015〕 ==Incarnations== Guybrush's age is not defined in the game, though he may be seventeen years old in ''The Secret of Monkey Island''; in the second game, ''Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge'', while obtaining fake identification (a library card) in the Phatt City library, a slip of the tongue ("nine....errr, twenty one") suggests that he may be nineteen. He is twenty years old in ''The Curse of Monkey Island'' as he proves to ''Dinghy Dog'' when he tries to guess Guybrush's age and Guybrush proves it with his ''SCUMM'' Actors Guild Membership Card, although, in the most recent game, Elaine states it was three years between Monkey Island 2 and 3. (It should be noted that she was in a poxed rage during this statement, and that Stan mentioned it was three months) ''Escape from Monkey Island'' takes place three months after ''Curse'', following Guybrush and Elaine's honeymoon, while it is stated in-game that ''Tales of Monkey Island'' takes place roughly ten years since Guybrush became a pirate, making him 27–28 years old. However, Guybrush often lies about his age, for example telling the librarian that he was 21 in the aforementioned Phatt library in ''LeChuck's Revenge''. Guybrush grows a beard and moustache in the second game, but is shaven in the third and fourth games. Guybrush makes a reference that he lost his beard between the second and third game but cannot remember what happened to it. In the third game however, if one tries to use the shaving cream, Guybrush says that he shaved last week. In ''Escape from Monkey Island'' Guybrush's middle name is revealed to be Ulysses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guybrush Threepwood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
