Solid Snake is a fictional character and one of the main protagonists of Konami's Metal Gear series created by Hideo Kojima.
The Metal Gear Solid games has Japanese voice actor Akio Ĺtsuka providing the character's Japanese voice while actor and screenwriter David Hayter provides the character's English voice.
Solid Snake's character is a combination of a spy, mercenary and special operations agent. A member of FOXHOUND, he is often tasked with disarming and destroying various models of the bipedal nuclear weapon-armed mecha known as Metal Gear. Controlled by the player, he must act alone, supported via radio by commanding officers and specialists. While his first appearances in the original Metal Gear games were references to Hollywood films, the Metal Gear Solid series has given a consistent design by artist Yoji Shinkawa alongside an established personality.
