Miles Prower (マイルス・パウアー, Mairusu Pauā^?), more commonly known by his nickname Tails (テイルス, Teirusu^?), is a fictional character in Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a significant main character after the title character Sonic, who is also his best friend. Tails also appears in his own spin-off series in comic books, cartoons, as well as in an OVA.

The name "Miles Prower" is a pun on "miles per hour", a reference to the famed speed of Sonic the Hedgehog. He is an 8-year-oldfox with 2 tails, hence the nickname. He is known to be Sonic's sidekick and adopted younger brother as well as Sonic's best friend as well as a mechanical genius. He is able to use his two tails to propel himself into the air like a helicopter for a limited time. He debuted on October 16, 1992, with the release of the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2; the 16-bit version was released that November.
