Sonic isn’t just a blue blur—he’s a full-blown cultural juggernaut, racing from retro video game glory to blockbuster movies and beyond. Created in 1990 by Sega’s Sonic Team (led by Yuji Naka, Naoto Ohshima, and Hirokazu Yasuhara), Sonic burst onto the scene in 1991 with Sonic the Hedgehog, a high-speed platformer where the blue blur zooms through vibrant levels, collects rings, and thwarts the evil Dr. Robotnik. Sonic’s electrifying attitude and uniquely cool design quickly made him a global icon, spawning not only video games but also a string of animated series, the first of which, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, debuted in 1993.
