Sonic plush tails12/10/2023 The early development of Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble.ĭuring development of his debut title, Fang had what appeared to be a revolver or silver magnum as a weapon, but Sega eventually scrapped it for unknown reasons (likely due to the general stigma against realistic firearms in children's media franchises). This name was discarded, and instead the name "Nack" was retained for Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble in North America and Europe, since the Japanese pronunciation issues do not apply in English and his and Knuckles' names were distinct enough from each other. Overseas, the character was originally revealed to the public as "Jet". In the end, the name "Fang the Sniper" was decided upon. A contest to decide upon a name for Sonic's new rival ran in the gaming magazine, Shūkan Famicom Tsūshin. ("Knuckles" is pronounced " Na-ku-ru-zu", while "Nack" would be pronounced " Na-ku".) Therefore it was decided to change the name. However, the pronunciation of that name and Knuckles, who had recently been created for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, would be overly similar in Japanese. ĭuring development, the character was known as "Nack". His original four fingers, instead of the usual five for a Sonic character, are derived from the species he was based on. Since he likes to collect valuables, Fang was designed with attire evoking that of an explorer.

After Sega hired him, Touma worked in many departments, including at Sonic Team. According to an interview on, Touma became interested in Sonic after studying for designing in art school. Higashi himself worked for Sega between 1994-2002 and later became known as popular freelance figure artist in Japan. While he was designed by Shinichi Higashi with permission from Naoto Ohshima, Tadashi Ihoroi, who was responsible for the planning and setting for Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble, was the one who came up with Fang's personality. 3.1.2 Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Troubleįang was conceived as a Sega Game Gear-exclusive character.Although he tries to stay cool and in control, his plans tend to backfire on him due to his arrogance and bad luck, and he tends to flee from danger when things go wrong. Fang has been known by many different names over the years, likely due to his status as a wanted criminal. He sometimes wields a cork-firing popgun. His primary mode of transportation is his flying "aero bike", the Marvelous Queen, which he is constantly modifying and upgrading. Greedy and mischievous, Fang seeks to obtain valuables such as the Chaos Emeralds for monetary gain, which has often caused conflict between him and Sonic and his friends.
