Answer:
Dig Dug
"Dig Dug" was originally released in 1982 by the Japanese company Namco and released outside of Japan by Atari. In the original the character was called Dig Dug but later incarnations revealed his name to be Taizou Hori or Taizo Hori. It is written in Japanese as Hori Taizo, which is a pun on the phrase "Horitai zo" and means "I want to dig". Taizo Hori is the father of Susumu Hori, the main character in the "Mr. Driller" series. "Mr. Driller" started out as "Dig Dug 3" but then developed into its own series and has been released on PlayStation, Dreamcast, WonderSwan, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, DS, WiiWare, Xbox Live, Windows, and iOS. Pookas also appeared in other Namco games, including the "Pac-Man World" series.
