'''Fox McCloud''' is the hero and main character of the ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]'' series and the leader of a mercenary team known as [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]], whose main members are himself, [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]], [[Slippy Toad|Slippy]], and [[Peppy Hare|Peppy]]. Fox is an expert at using the [[Arwing]], a compact battle ship, and is also proficient as a sharp-shooter on land with his blaster. Fox and his team are often sent on a mission to save the [[Lylat System]], usually from [[Andross]].
==Concept and creation==
In 1992, Nintendo and [[Argonaut
One day, after visiting {{wp|Fushimi Inari-taisha}}, the head shrine of {{wp|Inari}}, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] decided to use a fox as the main character. Inari is portrayed with the ability to fly, and its shrines, particularly the one in Kyoto, are surrounded by red arches ({{wp|torii}}), giving Miyamoto the idea of a fox that could fly through arches.<ref name="amn"/> Fox's face was modeled after Inari's, and he usually wears a "red turtleneck" or "red scarf" around his neck, like the statue. Fox's personality is heavily based on Shigeru Miyamoto's own personality, with the surname 'McCloud' being suggested by Dylan Cuthbert, one of Argonaut's programmers.<ref name="ngm"/><ref name="amn"/>
