Charles Entertainment "Chuck E." Cheese[1] is the anthropomorphic mouse mascot of the Chuck E. Cheese's chain of family entertainment centers.
Backstory
Chuck's official backstory is that he is an orphaned mouse who does not know his own birthday. To make up for never having a birthday party of his own, he hosts parties for kids. After winning a Pong tournament, Chuck moved to New York and started working as a singer at an Italian restaurant, where he also met and befriended a musically-inclined chef named Pasqually. Eventually, he moved to California and created his own restaurant franchise, with Pasqually becoming his star chef and later joining his band.[2]
Pizza Time Theater era
Chuck was originally found in Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre, a restaurant founded by Nolan Bushnell (founder of Atari) in 1977. An animatronic Chuck E. performed.
