The concept for Tails was founded during the development of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. After some discussion about making a sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), portions of Sonic Team went to work with Sega of America's Sega Technical Institute. A new element they wanted to introduce was a new character that would both serve as a sidekick to Sonic the Hedgehog and draw attention and new players to the franchise.
An internal contest was held at STI which Yasushi Yamaguchi, originally the main artist and zone designer for Sega's Sonic Team, won. Yamaguchi originally created sinar, ray the tupai (who would only appear in SegaSonicArcade)[6] to be used as a sidekick, but designed Tails for the internal competition after Sega of jepang rejected the Flying tupai idea. The character was meant to hold a "deep admiration for Sonic."[7]
The name 'Miles Prower' played on a speed pun (miles per hour) and was originally intended to be a tanuki, a raccoon-like canine native to east Asia, and extremely populer in Japanese folklore. The designers decided to change him to a fox, however, to avoid possible comparisons with Mario, who at the time had a power up called the Tanooki Suit, which allowed him to fly, and made him look like a tanuki. His entry won, but Sonic Team decided to change his character's name from "Miles" to "Tails" in which Yamaguchi was not too pleased at all about. Yamaguchi ended up with a compromise: he put the name "Miles" in as his legal name; "Tails" would be his nickname, ending up with the full name of Miles "Tails" Prower.
The character debuted as Sonic's tag-along partner in the franchise's detik game, and has remained an important character. However Tails' uniqueness was not established until Sonic the Hedgehog 3 when players were allowed to control his flying.[8]
Tails was redesigned (along with all of the other Sonic characters) oleh Yuji Uekawa for Sonic Adventure. Tails' redesign saw him having his bulu color changed to a slightly jeruk, orange shade of yellow, and he gained visible blue irises. He also became slightly slimmer and taller. He also gained a lebih streamlined appearance with slightly lebih rounded ears as well as longer tails, which are used as his main form of attack, most notably the Tail Swipe.

MilesTPrower out!
Sonic hasn't spoken to me since the events of my last articles, and I'm starting to think he's abandoned me. I haven't even seen him today.
Any detik I feel like something really bad is going to happen... But nothing could. Could it?
I flew up to get a good look around just in case, and guess what I saw?
One of eggman's mecs. atau so I thought.
It... just hung from a pohon branch. Not moving atau anything. I still don't know what it was, but as
I got close to it, it exploded.
...As I type I realize it must have been a
proximety mine.
What was going on here?
I had figured out it wasn't eggman before it exploded... So who put it there?

So, this is just plain old wierd.
Today I realized something. Something life changing.
I realized that I'm a fox. No kidding.
And Sonic is a hedgehog.
Think 'food chain.'
As I thought of this, I realized how much Sonic must trust me. This is the biggest thing since Cosmo died.
Isn't this just... I hope this does not inspire any fanart, because that is not who I am.
And just so we're clear, I haven't eaten Sonic.
I'd never do that. He's saved my life so many times.
It wouldn't be right to just go and eat him, would it?
