[edit] Torpedo Girl
(魚雷ガール Gyorai Gāru) - Originally OVER, one of the Bo-BoBo team's enemies, she is the last remaining member of the legendary Joke Killers (伝説のボケ殺し, Idiot Killers in original version) thought to have died in a mime incident. As a Joke Killer, she attacks any form of "lame" joke and the one who performed it. Her catchphrase is, "And that's because....I'm a torpedo!" (なぜなら私は魚雷だから). Rather than a normal laugh, she repeats the word 'torpedo'. She fights using the "Fist of Horrible Bloody Murder" (dub: "Fist of Torpedo", separate from OVER's "Fist of the Ultimately Evil Sword", even though they are both "Fist of Horrible Bloody Murder" in the original series). It is said that she was Hatenko's ex-girlfriend, but is now married to Softon, due to the fact that she would let him on her unless he married her. Voiced by Linda Young.

- Torpedo Whirlwind - Simply jumps in the air and performs multiple spin kicks at high speed. Used against Bobobo/Don Patch/Jelly Jiggler. *note*: Torpedo Whirlwind move is based on Leaf Whirlwind (Leaf Hurricane in the dub) from another Shonen Jump series, Naruto.

[edit] Serviceman
(サービスマン) - A recurring character within the Bo-BoBo world whose entire body is covered by a giant sheet outside his arms, legs, and a thin strand of hair similar to the depiction of Chinese martial artists. He attacks by lifting the sheet, exposing parts of his body too controversial to publish or broadcast (that's considered flashing), or by slamming said parts into his enemies. Serviceman first appears working for Gunkan ("Captain Battleship"), but eventually assists Bo-BoBo with an attack here or there against most of the enemies he faces later on. Heppokomaru ("Gasser") in particular can't stand him and usually smashes him away when he uses his schtick on him. Because he appears too innocent-looking in the manga, the anime version of Serviceman has bushy eyebrows and a goatee to give him an older appearance. In the USA edition Serviceman's part is cut out almost entirely. His role for Battleship was minor and we don't see him again until he's perched atop the tank at Z-Block, and even then his scene has been rendered into an innocent still. He made another appearance hanging from the roof of Lord OVER's headquarters, in episode 33 where he is nearly decapitated by OVER, and then again during the fight with Torpedo Girl, where surprisingly his flash scene was kept in the dub. This is meant to be a parody on some form of fan service usually used in manga and anime. Attacks:
- Service: Serviceman's standard attack the involves him flashing censored body parts. Used against Gasser and Dengakuman's female friend (original versions only).
- Direct Service: Serviceman attempts to "Service" the enemy from the sky. Used against Halekulani (His scene was edited out in the dub)
Games only
- Sky Service: Serviceman jumps in the air while preforming "Service".
- Rolling Service: Servicman begins rolling while preforming "Service".
- Floral Service: Serviceman creates a tornado created by "Service".
- Univeresal Service: Serviceman's most powerful attack which involves him "Servicing" the universe (every living being on any world).
- Episode appearances: 18, 25-26, 30, 33, 35, 42, 50, 60-64, 75-76
- Manga appearances: 184-186.5, 211-214, 221, 228, Shinsetsu 8-9, 15
- Seiyuu: Shinichiro Ohta
[edit] King Nosehair
Another recurring character from Bo-BoBo's world. He had been dormant for five hundred years, but finally awoke within Bo-BoBo's nose. But after he arose, Bo-BoBo cut him off. After that, he decided to do one thing before he died: go cycling. After that incident, though, King Nosehair is constantly seen whenever Bo-BoBo summons the power of Bo-BoBo World, both assisting and bothering him and Don Patch with their wild activities. Although he appears much less often during the later part of the manga, he does surprising assist in the real world against both Jeda the Wind God and against Bibibi-bi Bi-bibi! (as he was possessing Bird of Paradise) (He is not to be confused with another "BaBaBa-Ba Ba-BaBa", who is one of Bo-BoBo's older brothers revealed in the "New Hair Kingdom" arc of the manga)
- Episode appearances: 4, 8, 20, 35, 63
- Manga appearances: 207-208, 228
- Seiyuu: Eiji Takemoto
[edit] Shinsetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Characters
After the end of the "first part", Bo-bobo returned with a new series complete with many returning to continue their fight against the Neo Maruhage Empire. However, several new characters have been introduced that have joined in the battle against the Hair Hunters and other assorted weirdoes! For further information, head here.
[edit] Other characters
- TUYOSHI - A recurring character who was only seen in a flashback during the first episode and again during the climax of the Hair Kingdom arc. He is the father of Bo-bobo, Bi-bibi, Ba-baba, Be-bebe, and Bu-bubu. He is just a head that bounces up and down whenever seen, Bo-bobo said he had a big heart but 20 years ago he gave his son to hair hunters and made it sound like they just took him without hesitating, but TUYOSHI waits for the return of his son and the end of the Crome Dome Empire.... for taking Bo-bobo.
In the first chapter of the manga, he and Bo-bobo had already launched the escape capsules of the other survivors of the Hair Kingdom during the invasion of the Crome Dome Empire. It was Bo-bobo's turn to escape, but TUYOSHI couldn't press the buttons. Only Bo-bobo could do it, but the needed someone in the escape pod, in which they put in a random Hair Hunter who got inside the building, and had to been forced to play the part of Bo-bobo, Bo-bobo as TUYOSHI, and TUYOSHI as the Hair Hunter. Bo-bobo called this his "miraculous escape".
Relatives:
- Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo: Son
- Wife (mentioned by Bo-bobo in episode 29)

- Bababa-ba Ba-baba: Son
- Bebebe-be Be-bebe: Son
- Bububu-bu Bu-bubu: Daughter
- Bi-bibi's Daugthers: Granddaugthers
- Game Boy Pig/Piggie(ゲームボーイブタ) - Another recurring character the manga consistently throws in, it's a small pig that's consistently playing Game Boy video games every time it shows up. The source of the joke comes from the first time Bo-BoBo tries a fusion maneuver during his first fight with Don Patch, where it ends up having him playing against the pig due to the fusion's result. Game Boy Pig shows up usually when we least expect it, either in a crowd or doing something connected with Bo-BoBo's antics.
- Pickles(つけもの Tsukemono) - A yellow dill pickle who idolizes Bo-bobo and like Beauty, wanted to join Bo-bobo but unlike Beauty, Pickles was not given that honor. The Narrator claims he was written off the show but Pickles makes short cameos through out the show. However, in the manga, he was supposedly eaten by a dog after the first chapter. During the climactic "Hair Kingdom" arc of the series, it turns out Pickles was left behind so he could spy on Bo-bobo's brother, Bibibi-bi Bi-bibi. But while everyone was happy for his return, Don Patch ends up killing him because he doesn't even know what Pickles is! (Note: Pickles is one of the few characters introduced before Don Patch and thus one of the few he never knew)
- Kappa - A kind kappa who saved Don Patch from.... living umbrellas in the Evil Blood Mansion saga and is seen with Don Patch throughout the rest of the saga. He made short appearance on a game sow during the Z-Block Base saga but was kicked off the game show for being too excited.
- N&N(s) - Recurring character who's name is a spoof off of the chocolate candy M&Ms. He appeared only in the Wiggin Block Base Saga to save Bo-bobo's gang from being kidnapped by....dolphin trainers. He claimed to be a space man but his ship was a bike with a platform with wheels attached to it. He wound up crashing into the Wiggin Block Base's main entrance gate. He appeared to save the gang again when they were attack by the hair hunters of Wiggin Block Base until an hair hunter with another ship came in and offered a ride for the gang while N&N tried to convince the gang not to....but the team ended up on the enemy's ride. N&N also becomes an assister for former enemies who come to his block, taking away Rice from Neo Hair-Hunt Land MAX after he falls to Lambada and even befriending Puckered Lips after Bo-bobo defeats him!
- Giga's Girls - Two blonde women who are always with Giga, they're basically there to back him up for extra support. Their names are unknown.
- Bububu-bu Bu-bubu - Bo-bobo's sister who bears great resemblance to Denbo and is the master of "Wakige Shinken" (Fist of Armpit Hair) who loves her brother Bo-bobo and helped him when he finally returns to the Hair Kingdom to take down their older brother: Bibibi-bi Bi-bibi yet dies before awesome power. (yet somehow revives after the defeat of Bi-bibi) She has a crush on Don Patch.

A master of "Enban Shinken" (Fist of the Disc), he originally trained Hydrate in "Ashi no Ura Shinken" (Fist of the Foot Sole) and, while dead before the start of the series, is instrumental to the final downfall of Bibibi-bi Bi-bibi!
Relatives:
- Torpedo Girl: Daughter
- Narrator - A character who, like almost everyone else, is crazy and sometimes talks during the show and mostly has the last line at the end of the episodes. In the recap episode, he shows the physical form of a man in a business suit with the head of a giant letter "N" with a thin strand of hair with a ribbon coming from it. (a hint to the other character his VA performs: Serviceman!)
[edit] Recurring Anti-Heroes
- Suzu - Although officially working under Captain Battleship, Suzu does assist Bo-bobo's team on occasion. First helping them escaping from OVER's castle after they defeat Torpedo Girl, she becomes their guide of Holy Guacamole Land during their battle with Halekulani but fell victim to his ability to turn the enemy into a penny by engulfing the victim in dollar bills but returned to her good old self after Halekulani's downfall. Later, she saves everyone from plummeting from the sky after their defeat of Hydrate leads to his flying fortress to disappear.
- OVER - Though Torpedo Girl is an official member of Bo-bobo's Group, it's rare when she turns into OVER, making him a recurring member. Reappearing as Bo-bobo and the others face Czar Baldy Bald the 3rd, he makes a truce to assist in stopping the former emperor...even if he still slices up Jelly Jiggler every other attack! Forced to rejoin with Bo-bobo again against Hydrate and the Reverse Chromedome Empire, he is pushed to the edge against the perverted female warrior LOVE...upon which Tennosuke unexpectidly pushes him over and turns him back to Torpedo Girl! OVER hasn't been seen since.

But he soon falls when forced up against "Fist of Polygon" master Lambada, one of the three strongest warriors from one-hundred years ago!
- Kancho-kun
- The Unknown Sad Sack
- Hanpen - The Hanpen headed former A-Block Base commander from The Third Era befriends Don Patch and helps the gang during the fight against the The Dark Emperor.

- Bebebe-be Be-bebe - A former member of the Reverse Chromedome Empire assists Bo-bobo and the other against his older brother: Bibibi-bi Bi-bibi but died during that tear jerking final mission of Bo-bobo's team before being revived with Bo-bobo's return and Bi-bibi's fall.
