Since then, English language sources have listed his identity as Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik at least once, and has recognized both the first name Ivo and the last name Robotnik as recently as 2016 in the video games and 2015 in social media, with Sonic Frontiers establishing his acceptance of the name "Eggman" as a way to defy Sonic's mockery of him.

The English instruction manual for his debut game Sonic the Hedgehog described the character's full name as "Doctor Ivo Robotnik", while the Japanese version's instruction manual for the same game called him "Doctor Eggman".
I made it so that we understand the character's name is Robotnik, but his nickname is Eggman, and as far as everyone is concerned in the world now, we're just going to call him Eggman as his official name. This is something I actually did in the Sonic Adventure series. We wanted to unify that into one name moving forward. To us, he's Eggman, but in the rest of the world he's called Robotnik. we really didn't want to have anyone in the universe with two names.

Eggman has been well-received by critics and is one of the most popular and recognizable villains in gaming history. He made his live-action cinematic debut in the 2020 film adaptation, portrayed by Jim Carrey. Notably in early games, he has also served as a recurring boss, appearing in almost every level piloting one of his created vehicles.Įggman has appeared in almost every Sonic the Hedgehog video game since his first appearance in the 1991 title Sonic the Hedgehog and is also a prominent character in other media, including comics, novels, and cartoons. Eggman commonly creates machines and robots, including a wide variety of Badniks. While he has gone through several major and minor appearance changes throughout the series, his in-game designs retain several basic characteristics, such as his ovate body, red-black-yellow clothing, bald head, a onesie, pince-nez sunglasses, and large mustache. In the main line of video games, Eggman is a dastardly mad scientist who plans to conquer the world to build his own empire. After the creation of Sonic the Hedgehog, Ohshima chose to use his previous egg-shaped character to create the antagonist of the 1991 video game Sonic the Hedgehog, making him the arch-nemesis of the series' eponymous main character. Eggman was created and designed by Naoto Ohshima as part of many design choices for Sega's new mascot. Doctor Ivo " Eggman" Robotnik is the main antagonist of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
