Cheese (チーズ Chīzu?) is a character that appears in the anime series Sonic X and its comic series published by Archie Comics. He is a Chao owned by Cream the Rabbit, hailing with her to Earth from an unnamed planet in a parallel dimension.[note 1]
Appearance
Cheese is a Chao of standard coloration: light blue with yellow hands and feet, pink wings, and large blue eyes. Like other normal Chao he also has a pointed yellow head with a yellow orb floating above it, but he is distinguished by his red bow tie.
History
Anime
At some point while living in Sonic's world, Cheese became Cream's closest friend and also befriended Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Amy Rose and Knuckles the Echidna.
Under unknown circumstances, Cheese and Cream were both kidnapped by Doctor Eggman and imprisoned them in his fortress until Sonic arrived to their rescue. After a fight ensued, Chaos Control was accidentally activated, sending Cheese and all of his friends to Earth.[4] In this new world, Cheese along with Cream were found by the government military and were both escorted to Area 99 to conduct research on them. Cheese and Cream both feared as they were being examined but was rescued by Sonic and Tails.[5]
After all of them joined, they help battle Doctor Eggman whenever he caused trouble and havoc to the world and live with Christopher Thorndyke and his family. At the end of Season 2, Cheese and Cream go home, and later help Sonic, Cosmo and the rest of the gang battle the Metarex in Season 3. After Cosmo sacrifices herself, they fail to see Chris go home and declare war on Eggman.
Archie Comics
Cheese in the Sonic X comics.
Cheese was first present with Cream cheering Sonic in his race against Sam Speed. The next morning, while having breakfast, he heard that Chris was able to take his friends including Cheese and arrived at the Twelfth National Bank of Station Square to wait in line. Suddenly, Dr. Eggman attacked the bank with his Ben-728 Packratbot, causing Cheese to hide behind a plant with Cream as they watched the robot causing further havoc until Sonic arrived to save the day.[6]
Personality
Cheese enjoys playing with Chao, feeling home when being around them and feels sad when not being around them. This is especially the case when Tikal offered Cheese the opportunity to live with her and the other Chao in order to stay with Cream.
Powers and abilities
Like other Chao, Cheese can use his wings for flight. Cheese is also very strong for a creature his size; for example, he can hold objects much larger than him, such as a baseball bat, or knock down a robot several times his size with a single punch to the face. Cream is also capable of performing the Spin Attack, and can perform a powerful combo attack with Cream which can overpower several Metarex foot soldiers at once.

Trivia
- In the Japanese version of "Defective Detectives", during the actual end credits (they play during the episode as well), Cheese replaces Amy in the The Shining Road ending. During the episode as the credits are shown while Team Chaotix were recapping Sonic X, the ending song begins then it skips to Cheese.
- In the Sonic X comic series published by Archie Comics, Cheese was referred to as a female in issue 5. During the remainder of the series though, Cheese's gender was re-justified to a male.
- In Sonic X, it is hinted that Cheese somehow knew Chaos, as he rejoices when seeing Chaos and protests when Chaos is called a monster. One possible explanation is that seeing as Chaos was once the 'protector' and leader of all Chao, and was a Chao himself, Cheese could sense his true nature. Cheese also got upset when the others referred to Perfect Chaos as a monster, and later joined the group of Chao that was surrounding Chaos after he calmed down.
- In the Latin Spanish dub of Sonic X, Cheese is named "Queso" (Spanish for "Cheese").
