Kenneth "Kenny" McCormick〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Love South Park. – FAQ )〕 (sometimes spelled as McKormick) is a main character in the animated adult television series ''South Park''. Kenny is one of the main characters in the series, along with his friends Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, and Eric Cartman. His oft-muffled and indiscernible speech—the result of his parka hood covering his mouth—is provided by co-creator Matt Stone. He debuted on television when ''South Park'' first aired on August 13, 1997, after having first appeared in ''The Spirit of Christmas'' shorts created by Stone and long-time collaborator Trey Parker in 1992 (''Jesus vs. Frosty'') and 1995 (''Jesus vs. Santa''). Kenny is a third- then fourth-grade student who commonly has extraordinary experiences not typical of conventional small-town life in his hometown of South Park, Colorado, where he lives with his impoverished family. Kenny is animated by computer to look as he did in the show's original method of cutout animation. He also appears in the 1999 full-length feature film ''South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut'', in which his true appearance and voice was first revealed, and various ''South Park'' merchandise. In a running gag most prevalent during the first five seasons of the series, Kenny would suffer an excruciating death before returning alive and well in the next episode with little or no definitive explanation given. Stan would frequently use the catchphrase ''"Oh my God! They killed Kenny!"'' Followed by Kyle exclaiming ''"...You bastards!"''. Media commentators have published their interpretations of the many aspects of the running gag from philosophical and societal viewpoints. Since the show began its sixth season in 2002, the practice of killing Kenny has been seldom used by the show's creators. Various episodes have set up the gag, sometimes presenting a number of explanations for Kenny's unacknowledged reappearances. ==Role in ''South Park''== Kenny attends South Park Elementary as part of Mr. Garrison's fourth grade class. During the first 58 episodes, Kenny and the other main child characters were in the third grade. Kenny comes from a poor household, presided over by his violent, alcoholic and unemployed father, Stuart McCormick. His mother Carol McCormick has a job washing dishes at the Olive Garden.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kenny McCormick )〕 Kenny has an older brother named Kevin. He also has a younger sister, shown with his family in the season nine episode "Best Friends Forever", but does not make another appearance until the 15th season episode "The Poor Kid", in which her name is revealed to be Karen, whom he loves unconditionally. Kenny is friends with Stan and Kyle, and has indicated that he maintains a friendship with Eric Cartman solely out of pity. Kenny is regularly teased for living in poverty, particularly by Cartman. Kenny's superhero alter ego, Mysterion, first appeared in the Season 13 episode "The Coon", as a rival to Eric Cartman's eponymous superhero alter ego. He unmasks himself at the end of the episode, but his identity is left intentionally ambiguous. He is not revealed to be Kenny until the Season 14 episode "Mysterion Rises", the character's third appearance as part of a story arc. 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「Kenny McCormick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
