More recently Pac-Man appears as a full three-dimensional polygonal model. 1984's Pac-Land was the first game (of many) to use his arcade art in-game. In-game Pac-Man was represented as a two-dimensional sprite of a simple yellow circle with a mouth, which is his current design as of 2018. The North American Pac-Man artwork by Midway, went a different way and depicted him as a yellow circle with legs and large red eyes. The arcade art on the original Puck-Man designed by Namco Artist Tadashi Yamashita, portrayed him as a yellow circle with a large mouth as well as hands, feet, eyes and a long nose. The character's name was originally written in English as "Puck-Man", but when Namco localized the game for the United States they changed it to "Pac-Man", fearing that vandals would change the P in "Puck" to an F. The character's name comes from paku-paku ( パクパク), an onomatopoeic Japanese word for gobbling something up. However, he said in a 1986 interview that the design of the character also came from simplifying and rounding out the Japanese character for a mouth, kuchi (口). According to the character's creator Toru Iwatani, the inspiration was pizza without a slice, which gave him a vision of "an animated pizza, racing through a maze and eating things with its absent-slice mouth". He is credited as the first video game mascot character and the first to receive merchandise. Pac-Man has the highest-brand awareness of any video game character in North America, becoming an icon in video games and pop culture. In Japan, he was originally titled "Puckman" for his hockey puck-like shape, which was changed in international releases to prevent defacement of the arcade cabinets by changing the P into an F. The character was made to be cute and colorful to appeal to younger players, particularly women. The idea of Pac-Man was taken from both the image of a pizza with a slice removed and from rounding out the Japanese symbol "kuchi", meaning "mouth". He also appears as a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. Pac-Man also has a voracious appetite, being able to consume vast amounts of food in a short timespan, and can eat his enemies by consuming large "Power Pellets". Pac-Man's most common antagonists are the Ghost Gang - Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde that are determined to defeat him to accomplish their goals, which change throughout the series. He is the official mascot of Bandai Namco Entertainment.
