Sly Cooper is the title character of the Sly Cooper video game series, developed by Sucker Punch Productions for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita consoles. Sly is voiced by Kevin Miller in the video games and by Ian James Corlett in the upcoming film adaptation. Sly is a raccoon who is descended from a long line of master thieves and uses his skills, with the help of his long-time friends Bentley and Murray, to pull off heists.

Sly, voiced by Kevin Miller in the games and Ian James Corlett in the upcoming film, is a gentleman thief raccoon who is descended from a long line of master thieves who specialize in robbing from legit criminals as opposed to innocent bystanders, thus making them vigilantes. The Cooper clan has ancestry coming from medieval Europe, feudal Japan, and the American Western frontier, tracing all the way back to Ancient Egypt as well as pirates, making him of multi-racial descent. When Sly was eight years old, his father and mother were killed by a gang called the Fiendish Five. The gang stole the "Thievius Raccoonus", a book containing the Cooper family's thieving techniques and moves. Sly was sent to an orphanage in Olyres City, Florida. There he met Bentley, a highly intelligent turtle, and Murray, a comically self-confident and brawny hippopotamus.
