Kermit the Frog

From Disney's Hollywood Studios Wiki

Kermit the Frog, arguably Jim Henson's most famous Muppet creation, was the star and host of The Muppet Show, played a significant role on Sesame Street, and served as the logo of the Jim Henson Company. He continues to star in Muppet movies and make numerous TV appearances.

Kermit's most well-known catchphrase is "Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog here!" He typically introduced acts on The Muppet Show by waving his arms wildly and shouting "Yaaaay!" (a technique he learned from his old acting coach).

Kermit has been credited as the writer of three books: For Every Child, A Better World, One Frog Can Make a Difference, and Before You Leap.

Kermit the Frog is the main logo on just about anything doing with Muppet*Vision 3-D and is the host of the show, as well as being the host in Here Come the Muppets and Muppets on Location: Days of Swine and Roses.

Kermit's face is on most Muppet*Vision Merchandise, on the sign for the attraction, as well as the Hot Air Balloon above the attractions entrance.

Kermit was a live Meet and Greet character, and appeared in that form in the Disney's Stars and Motor Cars Parade.

A Kermit the Frog look a like made of spare parts can be seen in the queue for Star Tours.

The special The Muppets at Walt Disney World and the feature film Kermit's Swamp Years were both mostly shot at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and featured Kermit Very Much.

He has since hosted the Muppet Show, and appeared in many Movies.

During his Muppet Show days, he had a romantic relationship with fellow co-star Miss Piggy, but most of his recent interviews, he has said that they are now just business acquaintances, but she still texts messages him a lot.
