Blinky “Akabei” is the red ghost and the arch-enemy of Pac-Man.
“I’ve always liked my Pac-Man… EXTRA CRISPY!”
He chases Pac-Man constantly, and can be very dangerous. He is known to have a short temper, and is good friends with Inky, Pinky and Clyde. He first appeared with the other members of the Ghost Gang in the 1980-released arcade game. He was the first to come out of the chamber in the center of the mazes. Blinky’s original English descriptor, Urchin, is given due to his persistence, he is the only ghost in the arcade games that will always directly target Pac-Man when in chase mode. After Pac-Man eats a number of dots, Blinky will accelerate, this state is colloquially known as Cruise Elroy. The number of dots that must be eaten in order to become this persona gets lower as the game progresses. In certain later games, this state is triggered by how long the character remains on the maze rather than the remaining dots. When the ghosts are in scatter mode Blinky typically occupies the top right corner of the maze, unless his mannerisms are ignored due to Cruise Elroy state.
Blinky appears as the leader of the Ghost Gang. He is often depicted as the most intelligent and the most conceited of the quartet, especially so in Pac-Man World 2. Though Pac-Man under most circumstances is an enemy of all the ghosts, Blinky is his main nemesis among them. However, some games depict this as a form of friendly antagonism.
