==Conception and design== Introduced in ''Metal Gear Solid'', Ocelot is normally clothed in a duster, spurs, and gunbelts, the traditional garb of gunslingers in [[Spaghetti Western|spaghetti western]]s, 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". In designing the character, [[Hideo Kojima]] wanted to add [[Western (genre)|Western]] tones to a character resulting in Ocelot's appearance,<ref name="volone">{{cite video game|title=Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence|year=2006|developer=Kojima Productions|publisher=Konami|level=Metal Gear Saga Vol. 1}}</ref> which is based on that of veteran Western film actor [[Lee Van Cleef]].<ref>[http://www.gamerz-edge.com/ps2/previews/mgs3s.html ''Gamerz-Edge interview with Ryan Payton''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060509085341/http://www.gamerz-edge.com/ps2/previews/mgs3s.html |date=2006-05-09 }}</ref> For ''Metal Gear Solid 2'', [[Yoji Shinkawa]] originally intended to give Ocelot a cybernetic arm in place of the one [[Gray Fox (Metal Gear)|Gray Fox]] took from him, but this idea was not used as the staff intended to have Ocelot use the arm of Liquid Snake.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/mgs2/art/third.html|title=Yoji Shinkawa Interview: Segment 3|publisher=Konami|access-date=March 1, 2012|archive-date=October 19, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131019131636/http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/mgs2/art/third.html|url-status=live}}</ref> While Kojima acknowledged fans finding the idea of Liquid's arm possessing Ocelot's mind ridiculous, he promised to answer the reason behind it in ''Metal Gear Solid 4''.<ref name="volone"/>
