List of characters in Pucca

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of characters who appear in the Pucca television series.

Contents

[edit] Main characters

[edit] Pucca

Age 11 as of Slam Bam Birthday Bash (according to Pucca's original web site - puccaclub.com - her age is 10). Born July 7th, Pucca is the series' titular character. She is hopelessly in love with Garu, and is constantly trying to kiss him. Rather than speaking, Pucca communicates with giggling, kissing, and growling sounds (it is mentioned by Ching, however, that she has a pretty singing voice, which you can hear in the episode titled Tokyo-A-Go-Gowhen she is singing karaoke in the restuarant). She has on occasion said 'hello' to Garu in private and has also said 'ta-da' after performing a feat of skill such as knitting a sweater or carving a fish statue out of a boulder. She has also been seen cheering"G-A-R-U" with Ching on one occasion.

Pucca lives with her guardians, the three Master Chefs at the Goh-Rong restaurant, where she works as a delivery girl, driving around town on her scooter. She has a pink cat named Yani who flirts with other cats such as Garu's cat, Mio but is not interested in any of them.

Although she isn't a ninja, she has demonstrated some unique abilities of her own that make up for what she lacks in training, such as immense speed and strength and a rock-hard head. Though she is typically sweet-natured, Pucca can be very aggressive and temperamental when she does not get her way and does not love someone else she don't love, only she loves Garu. Pucca has very long black hair, but usually wears it in an odango style. Pucca is also a talented musician, as evidenced in And the Band Played Rong, Sooga Size Me, and a few other episodes. Most likely out of a desire to protect him, Pucca often takes over where Garu (unwillingly) gives up. She loves noodles, her Guardians, flowers, pink, hearts, circus and Garu. She is also a legendary Fire "Love" Ninja.

[edit] Garu

Age 12 as of The Cursed Tie. Born December 2nd, Garu is a skilled and somewhat serious-natured ninja, and the object of Pucca's affections. To Pucca's frustration, however, he only rarely returns her affection and usually frantically tries to escape when Pucca attempts to kiss him.

Despite the fact that he usually desperately tries to avoid her advances, Garu's true feelings for Pucca are a mystery. In the original Flash cartoons, it was suggested that they were officially a couple, and on many occasions in the TV series it has been hinted that he truly does care about her (i.e. getting very defensive when someone insults her).

Like Pucca, Garu is capable of superhuman athletics and endurance (such as running around the entire world without tiring), yet she still manages to get the best of him somehow. Also like Pucca, he does not talk at all in the TV series, continuing to only use the sounds from the Flash cartoons. It's explained in the TV series that he's taken a vow of silence (in the episode Romancing the Clone however, the clone speaks throughout the episode, but only because the clone was a representation of what Garu would become if he stopped caring about his honor and training). However, in the episode Trail by Fury, the judge says "Sheesh, I thought he'd never shut up," after Garu takes the stand during the trial.

Garu will immediately accept a quest if told it will bring him "great honor". The reason for this, although not revealed in the TV series to date, most likely stems from one of Garu's ancestors bringing dishonor upon his family (as was revealed in the original Flash cartoons). Three female characters have been in love with him: Pucca, Ring Ring, and a Swiss girl named Heidi (but Heidi has only appeared once in the television series), so it is suggested that he is attractive. In addition to being a skilled fighter, Garu has also demonstrated the ability to play the erhu. He is also a legendary Fire Wasp Ninja.

[edit] Uncle Dumpling, Ho and Linguini

The chefs of the Goh-Rong Chinese restaurant, and Pucca's guardians. They are Uncle Dumpling (or Jang Toong), Ho (or Ho-Oh) and Linguini (or Woo-Wuh). They cook jajangmyeon noodles as a team, with Linguini twisting the noodles, Uncle Dumpling chopping up the vegetables, and Ho heating up the dishes with his bare hands. They hold their noodles in very high regard, and possess a culinary honor system.

In Chef Slump, it is revealed the chef brothers are actually quite adept in athletics and martial arts (but in a cooking matter). Uncle Dumpling, for example, can handle his knives like swords. The chefs cook the best noodles in Sooga Village and, possibly, the world. Their actual relationship to Pucca is unknown; they are either her uncles, or friends of her real parents. The guys make a unbelievable yakissoba.

[edit] Abyo

Abyo is very outgoing, competitive, stubborn, energetic, and excitable. He's Garu's best friend, and he's also good friends with Pucca and Ching. A practitioner of Kung-Fu, Abyo uses nunchucks as weapons. Abyo's signature move is a running gag in the series: he jumps up, yells "Hi-Ya!", and rips off his shirt at least once in every episode.

His physical appearance is an homage to martial arts icon Bruce Lee, but unlike the late martial artist, Abyo's personality is very headstrong and impulsive and it is with this kind of attitude that he is often left with the shorter end of the stick.

Abyo is the son of Bruce, the police chief of Sooga. He trains under Chang at the Turtle Training hall with Garu, Ching, and Ssoso. He's also a bit of a womanizer, yet usually ignores Ching's crush on him, much to her frustration; this slightly wears off when she proves to be one really good martial artist and saves Abyo's life, though. When Muji tried to lower Abyo into a tub of boiling acid, Ching cut off Muji's moustache, his only weakness and saved Abyo.

[edit] Ching

Pucca's kind-hearted best friend. Ching is a very sweet, happy girl who is generally well-liked for her sunny, upbeat attitude. She is the daughter of Chang, the owner of the Turtle Training Hall, and she trains under her father with Garu, Abyo, and Ssoso. Ching uses two swords in battle.

Ching is in love with Abyo, which he more-or-less reciprocates, although he's usually too obsessed with other girls and with martial arts to notice her, which causes poor Ching no end of frustration. Ching has a pet chicken named Won who sits on her head. The eggs that Won lays apparently have magical properties.

[edit] Santa Claus

First appeared in A Christmas Story, but later began to appear more frequently, demonstrating to the viewers what he does while he isn't busy with Christmas. This includes many jobs such as being a doctor, a taxi driver and a shopkeeper. He is mainly used for comic relief. He is usually an unwitting victim of Pucca when she is after Garu — for example, when he dressed up like Garu to get chocolates from Pucca, and was beaten with a tree afterwards. In one episode, Santa is shown signing up to become a ninja like Garu.

Santa is seen in all but a couple of episodes. It has been revealed that before he became Santa, he was known as a thief by the name of Red Lantern who used to work as a partner with a ninja known as "Black Powder".

[edit] Major villains

[edit] Tobe

13 years old, one of the main villains, Tobe is Garu's rival and strives to defeat Garu at all costs with his two swords. Tobe is rarely capable of defeating Garu, however, much less Pucca. In the television series, he often makes quotes that range from melodramatic to just plain ridiculous (i.e., "The fly is walking right into my weblike... mousetrap.").

Tobe has an X-shaped scar between his eyes and usually wears his ninja mask. However, Tobe has been seen without his mask a number of times before, in which he has a samurai ponytail. He is accompanied by his ninja minions who, more often than not, eliminate themselves by misinterpreting Tobe's commands or just acting utterly stupid, much to Tobe's annoyance.


Voiced by: Lee Tockar (English), Mugihito (Japanese)

[edit] The Vagabond Ninja Clan

A trio of gypsy crooks. They mostly perform petty crimes, and sometimes assist Tobe in trying to bring Garu down.

Chief (Jing-Jing) is the female boss of the Vagabond Ninja Clan, and she's is in love with Tobe. In Evil Love, she even succeeded in marrying Tobe while he was under the influence of Cupid's last arrow. Clown (Binngure) was kicked out of the circus for not being able to laugh (although in Misplaced Face he was seen laughing at Abyo and in Soap Opera he is seen laughing at Ring-Ring). He often has random twitches and muscle spasms and usually ends with an "eh" when he tries to laugh. Shaman (Jumong) is a fat, bungling magician whose spells almost never turn out correctly. But in Chicken Spots and Big Top Bang Bang, they worked.

[edit] Muji

Another one of Sooga's resident villains. He is obsessed with grooming his (apparently sentient) mustache, and loathes anyone who has a bigger mustache than he does. Muji has an army of (rather stupid) zombie minions. He also regularly attempts to lay claim to public property, such as a beach or maple syrup-producing woods. His catchphrase is "Not good for Muji" whenever something goes wrong.

[edit] Minor villains

[edit] Ring Ring

A vain, short-tempered and selfish rich girl who considers herself Pucca's rival. She is an opera singer who performs in traditional Chinese robes. When angered, she transforms into a siren-like persona: the arms of her robes become long propeller-like blades, and her blue hair is apparently prehensile, since she can make it grow, shrink, and move, or grab things at will. Her anger is usually triggered when Pucca is chosen over her.When she lefts the hair, she looks like Medusa (The Rescuers).

Ring Ring has a Shih-Tzu named Yuni. Ring Ring also has a crush on Garu, and delights in exploiting this fact to arouse Pucca's jealousy.

Voiced by: Tabitha St. Germain (English)

In Shrek the Third, the cry Snow White uses to summon woodland animals is the same cry Ring Ring uses whenever she transforms into her "siren" persona.

[edit] Cat Clan

A trio of cats. Their names are Brutus, Socrates, and Napoleon (their names are never mentioned in the show, however). They all have crushes on Yani, who isn't interested in any of them. They've never perpetrated any serious crimes, mostly minor thefts and vandalism.

[edit] Doga

Doga is a wizard like Jumon/Shaman, but far more capable in magic. She is typically a background character, but was featured most prominently in The Usual Ching, Pucca's Fishy Tale and Hex Door Nieghbor. She has black tear markings on her face that run from her eyes to her chin. She never speaks, except in those episodes where she is featured as the villain. Doga has a small, curved sword or knife strapped to her back that she never uses. But in a Pucca story, Doga used it to fight Abyo but she was no match for him. Doga can shoot magic lasers out of her eyes to grab, transform or zap people. Though she's usually a villain, Doga has done a couple of good things in the series (attending Garu's birthday and helping the chefs make a giant noodle). Doga is usually described as female when her gender is mentioned at all, but in Dream On, in Pucca's dream, she was wearing a tuxedo.

[edit] Allies

[edit] Dada

A luckless dishwasher and waiter at the Goh-Rong restaurant. He is nervous and highstrung, which frequently leads to accidents around the kitchen. Even though he is slow and klutzy, he does have some ninja skills as shown in Janitaurus. In Soap Opera, it is revealed that Dada is in love with Ring-Ring, but this idea has not been revisited in the show to date. There are also some very subtle hints that he might have a crush on Pucca, but the evidence for this claim is insubstantial. He is, however, one of the very few people who can intercept one of Pucca's kisses without recrimination from her. He is one of the few characters to use a fork, only to be laughed at as Sooga Village uses chop sticks. Dada is a ninja rival and friend to Abyo.

Voiced by: Lee Tockar (English)

[edit] Master Soo

Master Soo is an old deity who reigns over the village. He lives in an enormous palace in the clouds where he is pampered by beautiful handmaidens. He acts as a being of all knowledge, and often referees competitions, as shown in Ping Pong Pucca, Sooga Showdown, and Gold Medal Garu. When he does come down to earth, he rides on a small cloud, usually with some of his maidens in tow.

Master Soo has the ability to shoot bolts of lightning from both his hands and the magical staff he carries. His accent and use of Yiddish colloquialisms may be indicative of Master Soo being of the Jewish faith. In Woolen Warrior, Soo is revealed to be one of the few legendary Fire Wasp Ninjas.

Voiced by: Richard Newman (English), Masashi Ebara (Japanese)

[edit] Ssoso

A young Buddhist monk. He often speaks in proverbs and wise sayings, usually in a sluggish, monotonous "surfer dude"-type voice. He practiced martial arts many years in a Shaolin temple, but left to seek better martial art skills. Ssoso is almost always calm and collected (the only known exception being at the end of Peace Out), and though he is a skilled fighter, he is a bit of a pacifist.

Ssoso's official bio on the Jetix site says that he has very poor eyesight, as evidenced in Scenes From a Maul when Ssoso's rice bowl was stolen, yet he continued eating the table, not realizing that his food was gone. He trains at the Turtle Training hall with Garu, Abyo, and Ching.

[edit] Policeman Bruce

Abyo's father, Bruce, is the police chief of Sooga Village. He finishes his sentences with the word "over" as if speaking into a walkie-talkie. He takes the law very seriously, and sometimes his habits while on duty overlap into his everyday life. His best friend is Chang, Ching's father. Just as Abyo is an homage to Bruce Lee, Bruce's name could be referencing the Martial Arts master as well.

Voiced by: Lee Tockar (English)


[edit] Chang

Chang is Ching's father. He is the master of Turtle Training Hall, where he usually teaches Abyo, Ching, Garu and Ssoso martial arts. Chang loves to make fruit juices (that his pet turtle, named Turtle, often swims in) for Ching and friends. His best friend is Policeman Bruce.

[edit] Smiley People

Common civilians. They are paper-like humanoid creatures. Their genders are determined by their color — blue for males and pink for females. They are usually seen everywhere in Sooga Village, usually doing construction-related work. They also can be useful to help others. They have special abilities, such as control over fire or water; they can also combine to form one giant Smiley Person if their emotions run high enough.

[edit] Turtle

Chang's anthropomorphic pet turtle, not to be confused with the old man of the same name. He is is usually seen in the background. He wears a hat similar to Ho's. He was featured promentily in Jaunitaurus where he trained Dada in ninjistu.

[edit] Mio

Garu's beloved black cat. He is often seen with his master, usually on his head or helping in his training/meditation. He is in love with Yani and is a rival to the Cat Clan. He hates going to the vet because he is afraid of getting shots. In "Chef Slump", he and Ho can communicate.

[edit] Yani

Pucca's beloved pink cat. Yani is the most popular cat in Sooga village and often flirts with other cats like Mio. Mio, Garu's cat and The members of the Cat Clan are in love with her, but Yani has more of a love interest in Mio than the Cat Clan.

[edit] Minor characters

[edit] Ester Loo

Master Soo's younger brother. He received a prank birthday present from his brother in the episode The Choo-Choo Troubles, which was an urn full of toy snakes. He is a tattle-tale.


[edit] Master Hiel Kikyu

A master martial artist who Garu is the #1 fan of. He appears in Autograph This! and Invincible Vengance. Despite Hiel's supposed superhuman martial arts, he was constantly topped by Pucca. He is also a legendary Fire Wasp Ninja. His name is a pun on the phrase "he'll kick you". Kielyu is shown to have a love of money.

[edit] Turtle

An old man who resembles a turtle (even down to the green skin and shell). He makes fortunes for fortune cookies that always come true when read. He is also a legendary Fire Wasp Ninja. He is, according to Tobe, "just a turtle who write fortunes". He appears in "Unfortunate cookies" and "The Choo-Choo Troubles". He reappeared in "Trial by Fury".

[edit] Hai-Tais

Stone lions that stand on the sides of the Goh-Rong restaurant's steps. They have talked a few times in the show.

[edit] Gura

to Garu's red heart. Gura has not appeared or been mentioned in the television series to date.

[edit] John Pierre

A French dress designer. He runs a bridal shop. He appears in Scenes from a maul, Soap Opera and Noodle around the world.

[edit] Master Soo's Harem

Beautiful maidens that live with Master Soo. They love and are completely devoted to Master Soo. They usually don't speak like Pucca and Garu but in "Sooga Showdown", 2 of them speak. In "Knock it off!", they speak through out the episode and seem to be in love with Abyo.

[edit] Neutral characters

These are characters that appear only one time each in the series.

[edit] The Goddess of Baby Deliveries

A deity-esque being a la Master Soo, whom she has a love interest for. She is responsible for bringing Baby New Year each year to Sooga Village to replace Father Time. Master Soo gained a crush on her, calling her "hot stuff" when he greeted her. She speaks in a babytalk manner, using "W"s in place of "R"s. ("Some fool just gwabbed him!"). She has only appeared in No Year's Eve.

[edit] Kua

A young female daredevil whom Uncle Dumpling, Ho and Linguini all have a crush on. She takes them on dangerous dates until she finds her true love. Before coming to her conclusion, Master Soo appears and she falls in love with him, becoming one of his maidens. Her physical appearance and lust for adventure seems to be a reference to Lara Croft.


[edit] Baby New Year and Father Time

Two owl-like beings who are responsible for the progression of time. Each Baby New Year would replace Father Time on a treadmill that apparently progresses time and his first word would decide what animal year it would be in Sooga Village (in No Year's Eve, his first word was "Pucca", thus it became the Year of the Pucca). Baby New Year would then progress the year, eventually becoming the new Father Time to be replaced by a new Baby New Year the next year. Baby New Year apparently has some uncontrolled power to make people age (as he did to Muji when he was kidnapped, which in turn transformed Muji into a very old man).

[edit] Australian Man

A man from Australia that finds Garu and adopts him as his son. He then poisons Garu with various things (emus, a tree and an electric fence). He is oblivious to Garu's dislike for him and the danger he puts him in. He may be loosely based on Steve Irwin.

[edit] Heidi

A young Swiss girl in Swiss Kiss who falls in love with Garu so her father and brothers try to force him to marry her.


[edit] Lazlo Gozalotovish

A wealthy playboy in the episode Prince Not So Charming who falls in love with Pucca so Garu decides to help him win her. In the end, he still does not manage to steal Pucca's heart.

[edit] Pocket Change-Eating Sofa

A couch formerly owned by Soo who gives it to the Goh-Rong noodle restaurant. It is known to suck in pocket change and anything else nearby, most notably Garu and Abyo. It carries a treasure that Abyo is looking for. In the end, Pucca remodels it into a long, adjustable love seat.


[edit] Ghost Pucca

A ghastly clone of Pucca from an antique photograph that Pucca bought and gave to Garu. Garu was driven out of his house due to the Pucca's ghost trying to kiss him.


[edit] Mr. Dishy

A soap genie from a soap bottle who allies Dada to win Ring Ring's heart.


[edit] Cupid

Cupid makes an appearance in Evil Love. Pucca asks him to shoot Garu with an arrow, but Cupid doesn't have any. Then Pucca angrily shoots Cupid into the wall.


[edit] Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny makes an appearance in Evil Love with Santa and Cupid. He worries about his eggs falling and breaking and Cupid's bad elbow.


[edit] Destiny

A golden dragon who lives in a cave (which he refers to as the "Casa del Dragon") behind the waterfall in Sooga Lake. Destiny is a lounge singer and piano player. He first appeared in Unsinkable Pucca as the piano player on the SS Funny Love, however, he was most prominently featured in Dragon Player. He and Pucca attempted to plan a romantic date with her and Garu, and Destiny attacked Garu when the latter refused. In the end, Pucca helped him to score his "first gig in five hundred years." Like typical dragons, Destiny can fly (though he has no wings) and breathe fire, but in addition, he can make himself grow larger by roaring. He talks like Mushu from Mulan which both, are Chinese Dragons

[edit] Guest Enemies

[edit] Black Powder

A hooded fiend from Santa's past. Before he became the symbol of Christmas, Santa was an evil ninja known as the Red Lantern who worked alongside Black Powder, looting people's homes. Over time, however, the Red Lantern came to realize that stealing was wrong, and began leaving gifts for people instead of stealing from them. Black Powder was infuriated at this betrayal, and, years later, came to Sooga to seek his revenge.


[edit] Fire Goblins

When the Sooga Volunteer Fire Brigade (made up of Smiley People) was exposed to terribly spicy Goh-Rong noodles laced with "dragon peppers," they were engulfed in fire and went on a rampage burning the town. They merged into a giant Fire Smiley Person and Pucca had to drink an entire lake to try and douse it. When that didn't work, she grabbed the Goh-Rong noodle bowl off its roof and stomped the monster out under it, turning it back into normal Smiley People. The Smiley People then repair Sooga Village.


[edit] Tex Lugie and Sloppy Sue

A rich Texan couple. They begin buying everything in Sooga Village, eventually creating their own fast-food restaurant that runs the Goh-Rong restaurant out of business. They are defeated at the end of the episode. Tex and Sue own a mobile home, which can turn into a robot. They appear to be a parody of the Bush family.


[edit] The Sumo Wrestlers

Three sumo wrestlers that Garu and Abyo wrestle with. They are able to combine into one sumo wrestler (mega sumo size) and are able to change different sizes. They can also suck things up with their belly buttons. Pucca defeats the sumos by changing herself into a parody on Sailor Moon.


[edit] Slammin Ramen Swordman

Abyo's superhero imaginary friend that makes him the Shirtless Avenger. He makes Abyo arrest everyone in Sooga Village. He appears in The Shirtless Avenger. Plus, he might be seen in Tokyo A Go-Go when Pucca, Garu, Abyo and Ching arrived to Japan on a conveyor belt.

[edit] Doga's Sock

Doga's evil sock that got mixed up with Ching's laundry that makes her evil.


[edit] Venus Ninja Trap

A giant plant that will eat anyone and anything that does anything related to fighting. After Garu and Abyo destroyed Master Soo's garden while sparring, Master Soo planted the Venus Ninja Trap to keep them away. It swallows Abyo, Ching and Garu. Pucca fails to realize this at first and tries to use it as a present for Garu. When Garu tries to get rid of it, Pucca always returns it. Right after Garu was swallowed, Pucca realizes that she was giving Garu a monster! She then beats up the ninja trap, causing it to spit out her friends and vomit green slimy ooze. This plant is a reference/parody of Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors, only that it is completely mute. It is also a reference to piranha plants in the Mario series.
