Stan is arguably the most "normal" of the kids, and is generally honest, very mature for his age, and well-meaning. He is slightly more assertive than his best friend Kyle. He is often distinctly unimpressed by adults or adult influences, and although not particularly troublesome, holds very little respect for them. Stan also has asthma, as shown in "Sexual Harassment Panda" when Cartman wants to take his inhaler, although this condition has not affected Stan since.

In the Japanese dub of the TV series, he is voiced by Hiro Yuki.

Character

Stan is modelled after his voice actor, co-creator Trey Parker, also sharing the same birthday as him. Stan was born on October 19 and is the oldest of the four main boys (Cartman was born July 1 or February 4, Kyle May 26, and Kenny on March 22).

Appearance

Stan wears a dark blue hat with a red trim on the bottom and a red poof-ball at the top. He wears a red-collared brown coat, blue jeans, and red mittens or gloves. He has a plain mop of thick, shaggy black hair, like his father. Stan also apparently has blue eyes, as noted by Kyle when Butters makes construction paper versions of the boys in "A Very Crappy Christmas". In "The List", he ranked third in the initial corrupt list of who was cutest. However, he was not mentioned among those who had to change places due to the corruption, so it is possible that he is the second cutest boy, behind Token. Stan is also left handed.

Personality

Stan is often considered the straight man of the four boys, normally the one having the most common sense. He is often skeptical of popular trends, such as in the episode "Cherokee Hair Tampons", when he challenged the character Miss Information and her shop of alternative medicine, in the episode "Super Best Friends", when he helped battle David Blaine's suicidal cult, and in episode "The Biggest Douche in the Universe" where he accuses psychic medium John Edward of being a fake. Stan is usually the one who is unaffected by the many scams, cults, and mass influences that South Park has been subjected to, and has a knack for seeing through falsely glorified practices and celebrities. He shares this trait with Eric Cartman, though Cartman usually exploits this for his own gain in some way, Stan tries to rectify it. Sometimes Kyle takes on this role, and it is Stan who is the gullible one, such as with the metrosexual trend in the episode "South Park is Gay!". Stan and Kyle's personalities tend to be similar, especially in the earlier seasons, but are not quite interchangeable, and they have developed more distinct and complex personalities during the show's run.
