    • A series of "Sonic the Hedgehog" comics begins appearing in Shogaku Yonensei (fourth-grade student) magazine, a long-running children's publication from Shogakukan. The comic, written by Kenji Terada and illustrated by Sango Morimoto, centers around the young hedgehog boy Nikki, who is able to transform into the superhero Sonic the Hedgehog. With his buddy Tails, he fights against the evil ambitions of Dr. Eggman. Nikki's "real world" friends include his pal Little John, his girlfriend Amy (who inspired the videogame equivalent Amy Rose), a lizard bully named Anton Beruuka with his pet Mad, Charmy Bee (who inspired the Charmy that would later appear in Chaotix), and Nikki's family: Brenda (his mother), Paulie (his father), and Anita (his little sister).
