''King of the Hill'' is an American animated sitcom created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=King of the Hill ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=King of the Hill )〕 The main characters are Hank Hill, Peggy Hill, Bobby Hill, Luanne Platter, Dale Gribble, Bill Dauterive, Boomhauer, Kahn Souphanousinphone, and Elroy "Lucky" Kleinschmidt. ==Main characters== * Hank Rutherford Hill (voiced by Mike Judge) — Hank is the main protagonist who proudly sells "propane and propane accessories" as the assistant manager at Strickland Propane, and throughout the entire series always makes a big deal about the job when everybody around Hank finds his occupation boring. He resembles—in both voice and appearance—the Tom Anderson character from ''Beavis and Butthead'', a character also voiced by Judge. Hank is generally a well-meaning father, but is often confused and anxious towards modern trends and the antics of his friends and family members. Hank suffers from a narrow urethra, which made Bobby's conception difficult. Hank is uncomfortable with public displays of intimacy with his wife and son. He has a very difficult time saying, "I love you" to any member of his family, as he thinks it is unmanly. Hank's trademark wail of distress in times of discomfort (sounding like "Bwaaaah!") and his phrase "I tell you what" ("what" in his dialect being pronounced ) are running gags on the series. Hank is a byproduct of a bygone era, nevertheless the qualities are principled; ever faithful, friendly, firm, reasonable, well-read and hard working. Much of the series revolves around Hank's desire to do the right thing compared to much of the rest of the people around him who would rather cheat, lie or exploit. Hank is a proud Texan, having grown up there. He was, however, born in a ladies room at Yankee Stadium, and spent the first 3 days of his life in New York City. * Margaret "Peggy" J. Platter Hill (voiced by Kathy Najimy) — Hank's wife, Peggy (''née'' Platter), was born in Montana and raised on her family's cattle ranch. Her strained relationship with her mother is a source of drama for her. Peggy is a substitute teacher in Arlen, Texas, specializing in teaching Spanish despite having a poor grasp of the language. Peggy is also a freelance newspaper columnist, notary public, an exemplary softball pitcher and a Boggle champion and has started a career in real estate. She has a habit of adding or changing ingredients to ordinary dishes then naming them after herself. "SpaPeggy & Meatballs" and "Apple Brown Peggy" are examples. Peggy is very self-conscious about her larger-than-normal feet (size 16 ½ on the left, 16 on the right). Despite boasting of her intelligence, she has been the victim of manipulation, such as being conned out of $2,500 for a phony degree, indoctrinated into a homogenous cult, and tricked into a pyramid scheme selling Herbalife inspired products. She has brown hair and wears an aquamarine sleeveless shirt and denim culottes, and she has glasses, but she sometimes wears many different outfits. Though she claims to be bilingual, her fluency in the Spanish language is somewhat questionable. * Robert Jeffrey "Bobby" Hill (voiced by Pamela Adlon) — Hank and Peggy's husky thirteen-year-old son and best friend to Joseph and Connie. Although friendly and generally well-liked, he isn't very bright and often prone to making bad decisions. He wants to be a famous prop comic and move to New York when he is older. Bobby displays little interest in gender roles and, although superb at golf and target shooting, dislikes team sports, often taking such classes as Home Economics and Peer Counseling, instead of more traditionally "masculine classes". Although many tend to typify him as "not right", he is remarkably successful with romancing girls, claiming Connie and several others as conquests. * Dale Alvin Gribble A.K.A."Rusty Shackleford" (voiced by Johnny Hardwick) — Dale is the Hills' chain-smoking neighbor who is also an insect exterminator among various self-appointed occupations. His physical appearance was modeled after Hunter S. Thompson. His greatest expertise lies in his knowledge of conspiracy theories and loopholes. Dale is paranoid about any government activity and frequently uses the alias of Rusty Shackleford to operate anonymously including having received unemployment payments from said alias. Dale is the president of the Arlen gun club and a licensed bounty hunter. He possesses a vast collection of guns from pistols to automatic weapons and is an ardent defender of Second Amendment rights. Despite being a firearms aficionado, his aim is relatively poor and despite being knowledgeable in military matters, he's physically the weakest of the main cast and is an abject physical coward. He is an avid UFOlogist. Dale remains oblivious to the fact that his wife, Nancy, has cheated on him with John Redcorn for fourteen years and his son Joseph is not actually his biological son. Everyone else knows but chooses not to tell him because of his total obliviousness, the loving, trusting relationship he has with Joseph and Nancy, and the fact that Dale is more of a father to Joseph than John Redcorn is, although it is implied in one of the last scenes of the final episode that Dale found out somehow and is rather unconcerned, leading to the possibility he either knew all along, Nancy told him, or he found out through other means. Hank considers Dale a close friend, but he often becomes very annoyed with his schemes and conspiracies. * Sgt. William "Bill" Fontaine Delatour Dauterive (voiced by Stephen Root) — Bill is the Hills' overweight, divorced, clinically depressed neighbor. He grew up in Louisiana with his cousin Gilbert and speaks French and English. He was formerly a rugged and attractive star lineman on Arlen High's football team, nicknamed the "Billdozer", and is now a sergeant barber in the United States Army. While his job mostly consists of shaving recruits, he is in fact an extremely talented barber able to replicate Hank's signature flattop when his barber he had known for 20 years went insane. Bill once had a bright future in the Army wanting to be a tanker, but ended up ruining his life after marrying the promiscuous Lenore. Bill is somewhat of a masochist and is often attracted to people who abuse him; after suffering under his father and Lenore, Bill has an almost complete lack of self-worth. He obsesses about his ex-wife, and his loneliness is a running gag on the series. He frequently tries to flirt with and woo Peggy. Despite coming across as a loser, however, Bill has enjoyed several romantic successes (or near-successes), including Kahn's and Luanne's mothers, former Texas governor Ann Richards, and the young widows of two of his dead cousins. He is named after executive producer and writer Jim Dauterive. * Jeffrey Dexter Boomhauer, III (voiced by Mike Judge) — Boomhauer is a slim womanizer whose mutterings are hard to understand to the audience but easily understood by his friends. A running joke is when his friends fail to understand him for some reason ''other'' than his incoherence. His speech is usually heavily littered with the phrases, "dang" and "dang ol'". Boomhauer can mumble his words, but he sings clearly and speaks other languages clearly (mainly French and Spanish). Boomhauer is a classic-car aficionado and owns a 1968 Dodge Coronet (in high school he owned a late 1960s Ford Mustang nicknamed "Ms. Sally"), and, despite his incoherent ramblings and womanizing, often displays himself to be more intelligent and philosophical than his three friends. Although hinted at previously, in episode 18 of season 13, his first name is finally revealed when a Canadian woman who lives next door to the family who trades houses with him for the summer calls him "Jeff". Throughout the series it is never known what he does for a living, although it was revealed in an early episode that he was an electrician who was on workers compensation, but at the end of the series finale, a badge seen in his open wallet reveals that he is a Texas Ranger. * Luanne Leanne Platter Kleinschmidt (voiced by Brittany Murphy) — Luanne (''née'' Platter) is the Hills' college-age niece, daughter of Peggy's scheming brother Hoyt and his alcoholic ex-wife Leanne. Luanne moves in with the Hills after her mother Leanne stabs Hoyt with a fork during a drunken fight which tips over their trailer. Hank initially makes frequent attempts to encourage Luanne to move out on her own, but later more-or-less accepts her as a member of the family. She was a student at the beauty academy and later at Arlen Community College. She was often portrayed as an airhead, but was shown to be an expert mechanic in the first two seasons and is good at logic puzzles. Luanne was promiscuous, but she settles down after being visited by the spirit of her first boyfriend, the slacker Buckley, whom she calls "Buckley's angel"; and then attending a church-sponsored "born-again virgin" program and starts a Bible study class. Luanne has success operating a "Manger Babies" puppet show for a Public-access television cable TV station. In the 10th season finale, Luanne revealed that she was pregnant with the child of Lucky, whom she married in the 11th season finale. In the 13th and final season, she has a baby girl named Gracie Margaret Kleinschmidt. She wears a green sleeveless shirt and red capris. 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「List of King of the Hill characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
