Otacon

Solid Snake telling Otacon about Diddy Kong

“Look, just start fighting him, and I'm sure everything will make sense.”

– Otacon, speaking about Mr. Game & Watch, Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Otacon (real name: Dr. Hal Emmerich) is a recurring character from the Metal Gear series. He is voiced by Christopher Randolph in English and Hideyuki Tanaka in Japanese. He is an American weapons designer and computer hacker, as well as an ally of Solid Snake. Otacon usually provides support by giving Snake advice via codec. He is also an otaku, which is why his nickname is "Otacon," named after the "Otaku Convention."

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Otacon analyzes several fighters like Link and Samus in the game, giving tips to Snake so he can battle them more effectively. This occurs in the stage Shadow Moses Island from the original Metal Gear Solid game. Like in the Metal Gear franchise, the Codec frequency to talk with Otacon in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is 141.12.
