Ash Ketchum

Ash Ketchum will battle Charles Darwin in an upcoming episode of Epic Rap Battles of History in Season 5. He will be portrayed by Brian Walters.

Information on the rapper
Ash Ketchum (Japanese: サトシ Satoshi) is the main character of the Pokémon anime series, as well as a number of manga and comics based on the anime. He is likely based on Red from the first generation of Pokémon games. His Japanese name is derived from the series' creator, Satoshi Tajiri. His English name is taken from this as well, while his surname is based on the franchise's original motto, "Gotta catch 'em all!"

Born in Pallet Town, Ash lived along with his mother until the age of 10, which was the age of becoming a Pokémon Trainer; however, because he woke up late, his rival, Gary Oak, was ahead of the progress as Ash was left with nothing but a Pikachu from Professor Oak. Though Ash and Pikachu began at a rough start, their relationship grew overtime, and they soon became best friends. With Pikachu forever at his side, Ash has traveled across many different regions, catching Pokémon and challenging gyms for gym badges in hopes of being a Pokémon Master. Along his journey, Ash has befriended and traveled with many people, including, but not limited to, Misty, Brock, Tracey, May, Max, Dawn, Iris, Cilan, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie.
