Kermit The Frog is puppeteer Jim Henson's most famous Muppet creation, first introduced in 1955. He is the main protagonist of many Muppet projects. Kermit was performed by Henson until his death in 1990. Since then Kermit has been performed by Steve Whitmire. He was voiced by Frank Welker in Muppet Babies and occasionally in animation. Kermit's iconic look and voice are recognizable worldwide, and In 2006, the character was credited as the author of Before You Leap: a frog's eye view of life's greatest lessons, which is an "autobiography" told from the perspective of the character himself, which was published by Wiley, John & Sons, Incorporated, in addition to appearing in various sketches in Sesame Street and various commercials and PSAs over the years. The character regards Fozzie Bear as his best friend—a fact reiterated by Kermit in Before You Leap—and the two were frequently seen together during sketches on The Muppet Show and other Muppet related media and merchandise. The character is known to sing, and also performed a hit single, "The Rainbow Connection" in the 1970s, which was used in the first feature-length Muppet movie, The Muppet Movie.
