Walt Disney
Walt Disney's first Cartoons were called Laugh-O'Grahms, but the First Character made by Walt Disney's company was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Even though Disney's company created Oswald, Universal owned the copyrights and basically kicked Walt off the project he created because Walt wouldn't take a pay cut. That series of events led Walt himself to create a mouse cartoon based upon a pet he used to have while working in Kansas City. This mouse is who we now know as Mickey Mouse. The Walt Disney Company just bought back the rights of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit from NBC Universal in 2006, 77 years after it was taken from Walt.
