Pinky “Machibuse” is the sole female member of the Ghost Gang, sporting pink.
She first appears alongside Blinky, Inky and Clyde in the original arcade classic Pac-Man. She is the second ghost to leave the chamber in the middle of the maze. Her original English descriptor, Romp, refers to the way she positions herself around Pac-Man. By following his direction, approximately four spaces ahead of wherever Pac-Man is headed, rather than Pac-Man himself, Pinky usually ends up taking a roundabout path to him. Because of this, however, if he comes face to face with her at an intersection, she will, more often than not, turn away. During scatter mode Pinky occupies the top left corner of the maze. She has appeared as either an antagonist or ally throughout the franchise. In certain continuities, Pinky has been shown to have a one-sided crush on Pac-Man, which normally goes unreciprocated.
“Well, if I can’t have you, no one will!” Pinky says in Pac-Man World 2, then turns around in the same game and yells, “Hi Pac-Man, sweetie!”
Although she is female, she wasn’t depicted as any different from Blinky, Inky or Clyde until the Pac-Man World series which gave her eyelashes and lipstick. In fact, she was depicted as a male ghost in the Pac-Man animated series, having the deepest voice of the ghosts. This male version of Pinky also sported a cap. Most recently, Pinky has been altered to look as if she has shoulder-length hair and appears much younger.
