The most recognizable Disney character, being the de-facto mascot of the company, and leading the Mickey Mouse & Friends franchise.
He is an anthropomorphic mouse created by Walt Disney and Co. His character design consist of round black ears, white gloves red pants with two yellow buttons, and large yellow shoes.
His round head and ears have become a trademark symbol; done in a silhouette, and often hidden in pictures as a running gag. His dark persona version often produces a vicious, characteristic laughter (“ハハッ”).
Within the Japanese community, he is often depicted with censored identity as a spoof to the late 2000s court cases involving Disney Japan suing the fan artists for copyright infringement, which spawned a local meme involving applying the censor across his eye and calling him an "unrelated" character.
Mickey appears with other Disney characters in the video game series Kingdom Hearts.
