Clouseau as 'The Inspector' is also the main character in a series of short animated cartoons as part of ‘The Pink Panther’. Clouseau is an inept and incompetent police detective in the ‘French Sûreté’ in other words, the ‘French Police Force’, whose investigations are marked by disorder. Nevertheless, Clouseau successfully solves his cases and finds the correct culprits, entirely by accident. He is promoted to Chief Inspector over the course of the series, and is regarded by background characters as France’s greatest detective, until they encounter him directly. His incompetence, combined with his luck and his periodically-correct interpretations of the situation, eventually transform his direct superior (former Chief Inspector Dreyfus) into a homicidal psychotic.

Clouseau's immense ego, eccentricity, exaggerated French accent, and prominent moustache were derived from 'Hercule Poirot', the fictional Belgian detective created by Agatha Christie. In his earliest appearances, Clouseau is slightly less inept and exaggerated; but in his first appearance he believes himself a skilled violinist, but plays out of tune, and often appears clumsy at his moments of highest dignity.

Jacques Clouseau makes his first appearance as the Inspector in the 1963 film The Pink Panther, which was released in the United States in March, 1964.
