Junior Pac-Man “Junia Pakkuman” is the son of Pac-Man and Ms Pac-Man. He might be considered the tritagonist in the Pac-Man series.
-
His first appearance was in a cut scene in the Ms Pac-Man game. He is delivered to Pac-Man and Ms Pac-Man by the stork.

In the 2nd season of the 1980’s Pac-Man cartoon, a character known as PJ joins the cast. In one episode he states his full name as Pac Junior. But PJ is actually the nephew of the titular hero. Pac-Baby in the cartoon, however, is a closer analogue to Junior Pac-Man from the game.
-
While not explicitly stated, the character we know as Junior Pac-Man was likely the original Pac-Baby from the ill-fated pinball/video game hybrid of the same name. He likely became known as Junior Pac-Man when the female version was born, and the Pac-Baby name got handed down to her.

In different games, the appearance of Junior Pac-Man’s skateboard varies.
