Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokémon, with whom Ash shares his Japanese name, has stated that Ash represents the 'human aspect' of the series, and that Ash reflects what he himself was like as a kid. He is loosely based on Red, the player character from the Generation I games Pokémon Red, Green, Blue and Yellow as well as the Generation III games Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen versions.Īsh Ketchum was first mentioned in a video game at the dialogue of Pokémon Play It!, and his first appearance in a game was in Pokémon Puzzle League. Ash's dream is to become a Pokémon Master. His English name is derived from the Japanese name (as the letters 'ash' are included in 'Satoshi') and his English motto is derived from the Japanese motto (as the letters 'Gotta catch 'em all!' are included in 'Pokémon getto da ze!'). In the English dub, he was voiced by Veronica Taylor in the first eight seasons and has been voiced by Sarah Natochenny since season 9. Hana Takeda voices 6 year old Ash in episode 1 of Pokémon Journeys: The Series. In Japanese, the character is voiced by Rika Matsumoto. He is the protagonist of the Pokémon anime and certain manga series as well as on various merchandise related to the franchise. Ash Ketchum, known as Satoshi ( サトシ) in Japan, is a fictional character in the Pokémon franchise owned by Nintendo.
