Character Concept
Revolver Ocelot is normally clothed in a duster, spurs and gunbelts, the traditional garb of gunslingers in spaghetti westerns, as well as a black armband on his left arm, and wields the Colt Single Action Army revolver, which he refers to as "the greatest handgun ever made" and quoting to Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid "Six bullets, more than enough to kill anything that moves" represents Ocelot's clever remarks toward his marksmanship.
In the making of the character, Hideo Kojima wanted to add Western tones to a character resulting in Ocelot's appearance. His appearance is based on that of veteran Western film actor Lee Van Cleef. For Metal Gear Solid 2, Yoji Shinkawa originally intended to give Ocelot a cybernetic arm in place of the one Gray Fox took from him. However, this idea was not used as the staff intended to have Ocelot use the arm of Liquid Snake. While Kojima recalls fans finding ridiculous the idea of Liquid's arm possessing Ocelot's mind following Metal Gear Solid 2, he stated he would answer the reason behind it in Metal Gear Solid 4.
Revolver Ocelot was originally voiced by Kōji Totani in Japan and Patric Zimmerman in English. Young Ocelot was voiced by Takumi Yamazaki in Japan and Joshua Keaton in English. Liquid Ocelot is voiced by Banjō Ginga due to Kōji Totani's passing in 2006 while Patric Zimmerman remains in English.

In streaming windowpanes, the look of others through
Their own eyes.”
