Snake to hypnosis to convince themselves Snake is Big Boss, and aiding Big Boss's and Snake's escape from a hospital in Cyprus. Ocelot acts as the Diamond Dogs' interrogator, but frequently clashes with Kazuhira Miller over matters involving Skull Face and White Mamba. Ultimately, Ocelot declares his support for Big Boss's plan to wage covert war, foreshadowing his involvement in later Metal Gear Solid games. Behind the scenes Introduced in Metal Gear Solid, Ocelot is normally clothed in a duster, spurs and gunbelts, the traditional garb of gunslingers in spaghetti westerns, as well as a black armband on his left arm, and wields the Colt Single Action Army revolver, which he refers to as "the greatest handgun ever made". Designing the character, Hideo Kojima wanted to add Western tones to a character resulting in Ocelot's appearance, which is based on that of veteran Western film actor Lee Van Cleef. For Metal Gear Solid 2, Yoji Shinkawa originally intended to give Ocelot a cybernetic arm in place of the one Gray Fox took from him, but this idea was not used as the staff intended to have Ocelot use the arm of Liquid Snake. While Kojima acknowledged fans finding ridiculous the idea of Liquid's arm possessing Ocelot's mind, Kojima promised to answer the reason behind it in Metal Gear Solid 4. In the original Metal Gear Solid, Revolver Ocelot was voiced by Kōji Totani in the Japanese version and Pat Zimmerman (credited as Patric Laine in the PlayStation release) in the English version. Both actors would reprise the role in Metal Gear Solid 2. The character's young version in Metal Gear Solid 3 was voiced by Takumi Yamazaki for the Japanese version and Josh Keaton in the English version. Due to Koji Totani's death in 2006, the character was voiced by Banjō Ginga in Metal Gear Solid 4 and Ikuya Sawaki in the Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel recreations while Pat Zimmerman continued the role in the English version. In Metal Gear Solid V, the character was voiced by Troy Baker in the English version while Satoshi Mikami dubbed the character's voice for the Japanese version. Over the years, the character's motion capture have been performed by Taro Kazanawa, Kenichi Yoshida, Bill Yokoyama, Troy Baker and Matthew Carlsen. Reception The character of Revolver Ocelot has received a positive response by video game publications based on his role as an antagonist.
