Viewtiful Joe (character)
is a title character and the protagonist of the ''Viewtiful Joe'' series. While normally a regular person named Joe, he obtains the ability to transform into Viewtiful Joe by entering a movie and gaining the ability from an older superhero named Captain Blue in order to save his girlfriend, Sylvia. He was created by the game's director, Hideki Kamiya, and illustrated by Kumiko Suekane. In the video games he is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, while he is voiced by Jason Palmer and Tomokazu Seki in the English and Japanese dubs of the anime series respectively.
Joe has appeared in several video games, both in his series and in spin-off material. He first appeared in ''Viewtiful Joe'', where he obtained his signature costume and abilities. This release was followed by two sequels titled ''Viewtiful Joe 2'' and ''Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble!''; in the first, Joe is teamed with Sylvia, who has become the superhero Sexy Sylvia. One more game was released in the series titled ''Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble'', a fighting spin-off game featuring Joe amongst other characters from the series. Joe has appeared in three other fighting games from Capcom: ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars'', ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds'', and ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3''. Joe has received generally positive reception.
==Concept and creation==
Joe's character design, created by Kumiko Suekane, was inspired specifically by 1960s and 1970s Japanese-costumed tokusatsu television shows such as ''Kamen Rider'' and ''Ultraman''. The design is most akin to the Tatsunoko Productions hero, Casshern. The protagonist of ''Viewtiful Joe'' was originally going to be a cute and innocent-looking character who had great physical prowess and super powers, but the developers found this boring and went with a cooler character. In its earliest stages of development, the character went under the working title "Red Hot Man", but the name was changed due to copyright conflicts with the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. When designing the star of the video game ''Bayonetta'', Kamiya described two of his characters, Joe and Dante from ''Devil May Cry'' as a mischievous kid and a tough guy respectively, and that he wanted to create a different character from these archetypes.〔()〕
