It may be MIKEYMOUSE who was invented by Walt Disney..
That would be a plausable answer, if there wasn't a cartoon character BEFORE Mickey Mouse that was created by Walt Disney. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was the first Disney cartoon character. He was created under Universal Studios, who later took him away from Disney, which is when he invented Mickey Mouse.
But, the real answer, is Felix the Cat, whose first appearance was in 1919, a full 8 years away from Oswald.
While their names, assuming they had any to begin with, have been lost to history, the first cartoon i.e. animated characters belonged to Charles-Emile Reynauld in 1892 when he presented Pauvre Pierrot to the public.
The literal 'first' cartoon character ever made can't really be answered. It entirely depends on how you exactly want to define 'cartoon', after all, the oldest cave paintings that featuring human figures have been dated back to over 40 thousand years ago, so technically those could be considered 'cartoon characters'.
Depends on the criteria of the question... the first cartoon character ever drawn? first animated character? first on TV? first in motion pictures?
And from which country? America, England, China ...
Literally the first character has been lost to history but certainly one of the first American animated cartoon characters might be Koko the Clown, created using rotoscoping in 1919, but French artist Emile Cohl created Fantasmagorie in 1908.
But, one could argue the Chinese used "cartoon characters" in their Zoetrope devices created around 180 AD.
Like I said, it depends on how exactly you're defining Cartoon Characters.
