, more commonly known by his nickname , is a video game character in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series released by Sega. He is a significant main character after the title character Sonic, who is also his best friend. Tails also appears in his own spin-off series, in comic books, cartoons, as well as an OVA. The name "Miles Prower" is a pun on "miles per hour", a reference to the famed speed of Sonic the Hedgehog. He is an eight-year-old〔 fox with two tails,〔Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008). In-game description of the "Tails" trophy.〕 hence the nickname. He is known to be Sonic's sidekick and best friend,〔 as well as a mechanical genius.〔 He is able to use his two tails to propel himself into the air like a helicopter for a limited time.〔 He debuted on October 16, 1992 with the release of the 8-bit version of ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2''; the 16-bit version was released that November. When he was first introduced in ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'', Tails' fur was orange. The color was changed to yellow-orange for ''Sonic Adventure'', and later to light yellow for ''Sonic Heroes''. In 1993 and 1995, he starred in his own games: ''Tails and the Music Maker'' for the Pico; ''Tails Adventure'', and ''Tails' Skypatrol'' for the Game Gear. Tails is the third most popular character of the series, behind Sonic and Shadow, according to an official poll.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Sonic Channel )〕 ==Concept and creation== Yasushi Yamaguchi, originally the main artist and zone designer for Sega's Sonic Team, designed Tails for an internal competition for a sidekick to the speedy hedgehog. The character was meant to hold a "deep admiration for Sonic." His entry won, but Sonic Team decided to change his character's name from "Miles" to "Tails". Yamaguchi ended up with a compromise, using "Miles" in as the character's real first name; "Tails" would be his nickname, giving the character the full name of Miles "Tails" Prower. The name "Miles Prower" is a pun on the phrase "miles per hour". The character debuted as Sonic's tag-along partner in the franchise's second game, and has remained an important player since. However the character's uniqueness was not established until ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3'' when players were given the power to control his flying (Although the AI would make Tails fly when he would get off-screen)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Smash It Up! - Sonic Team )〕 Tails was redesigned (along with all of the other Sonic characters) by Yuji Uekawa for ''Sonic Adventure''. His fur changed color to a more yellow shade as opposed to the orange in his early appearances, and he gained blue irises. In the American ''Sonic'' comic book, along with the ''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'' and ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' cartoons, he was originally brown, but the comic artists and cartoon artists eventually decided to change this to match his in-game appearance. 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「Tails (character)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
