To prevent the game from becoming impossibly difficult or too boring to play, each of the ghosts were programmed to have their own distinct traits - the red ghost would directly chase Pac-Man, the pink and blue ghosts would position themselves in front of him, and the orange ghost would be random. Their simplistic design was also attributed to the limitations of the hardware at the time, only being able to display a certain amount of colors for a sprite.
Iwatani cited Casper the Friendly Ghost or Little Ghost Q-Taro as inspiration for the ghosts. In turn, he made the in-game characters cute and colorful, a trait borrowed from Iwatani's previous game Cutie Q (1979), which featured similar "kawaii" characters. The idea for the ghosts was made from Iwatani's desire to create a video game that could attract women and younger players, particularly couples, at a time where most video games were "war"-type games or Space Invaders clones. The ghosts were created by Toru Iwatani, who was the head designer for the original Pac-Man arcade game. The group has since gained a positive reception and is cited as one of the most recognizable video game villains of all time. Pac-Man, and Funky and Spunky in Pac-Mania however, these did not appear in later games.
Some entries in the series went on to add other ghosts to the group, such as Sue in Ms. The ghosts have appeared in every Pac-Man game since, sometimes becoming minor antagonists or allies to Pac-Man, such as in Pac-Man World and the Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures animated series.
Created by Toru Iwatani, they first appear in the 1980 arcade game Pac-Man as the main antagonists.
