Pocky is a rabbit, and one of Sonic's animal friends. He first appeared in the Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), the first game, as an animal imprisoned inside Badniks and Egg Capsules. In Western regions, Pocky was renamed Johnny Lightfoot. In certain drafts of the Sonic Bible, it is claimed that Johnny Lightfoot was the one who taught Sonic how to run fast.
In the British publication Sonic the Comic, the character Johnny Lightfoot is based on Pocky. Pocky is also the likely inspiration for Bunnie Rabbot from the Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series) and Archie Comics.
