He is the straight man protagonist of many Muppet projects, most notably on ''Sesame Street'', and ''The Muppet Show'', as well as in movies, specials, and public service announcements throughout the years. Henson originally performed Kermit until his death on May 16, 1990; Steve Whitmire has performed Kermit since that time. He was voiced by Frank Welker in ''Muppet Babies'' and occasionally in other animation projects. Kermit performed the hit singles "Bein' Green" in 1970 and "The Rainbow Connection" in 1979 for ''The Muppet Movie'', the first feature-length film featuring Henson's Muppets. The latter song reached No. 25 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Kermit's iconic look and voice have been recognizable worldwide since, and in 2006, the character was credited as the author of ''Before You Leap: A Frog's Eye View of Life's Greatest Lessons'', which is an "autobiography" told from the perspective of the character himself. ==Development== The earliest trace of Kermit first appeared in 1955 on WRC-TV's ''Sam and Friends''. This prototype Kermit was created from a discarded spring coat belonging to Henson's mother and two ping pong ball halves for eyes. Initially, Kermit was a lizard-like creature. He subsequently made a number of television appearances before his status as a frog was established, which was shortly before ''Sesame Street'' began. His collar was added at the time to make him seem more froglike and to conceal the seam between his head and body. 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「Kermit the Frog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
