Main characters
Omi
An orphan trained as a monk in the art of Shaolin Kung Fu since birth. Omi is the Xiaolin Dragon of Water and as such possess the ability to manipulate water in all forms: liquid (water), solid (ice), or gaseous (vapor) for various effects. His element represents how he can be calm like a serene pond or raging like a disastrous tsunami. He takes his work very seriously and is the only one that wears his Xiaolin robe at almost all times. When it comes to martial arts, he is the most skilled Xiaolin monk of the group. Like Raimundo, he once joined the Heylin, much to the delight of Chase Young. He often mangles any attempt at slang, leading Raimundo to once say to Jack Spicer, "What Omi did to that sentence is what we're gonna do to you!" His signature Shen Gong Wu is the Orb of Tornami. His Wudai Weapon is the Shimo Staff. His elemental Shen Gong Wu is the Kaijin Charm. He is a vegetarian, although in episode "Time After Time (1)" he is seen eating pepperoni pizza. He is voiced by Tara Strong.
Kimiko Tohomiko
The daughter of a rich and influential Japanese businessman, Kimiko is the Xiaolin Dragon of Fire and has the power to create and control fire. She is well acquainted with modern technology and is a quick witted and skilled fighter. However, she can also be quite short-tempered, especially if insulted because she is a girl. Omi was first to discover this when he read "The Ancient Guide to Females." Despite her temper, while she is calm she shows deep care for all her teammates. Her signature Shen Gong Wu is the Star Hanabi, her Wudai weapon is the Arrow Sparrow and her elemental Wu is the Cat's Eye Draco. She is voiced by Grey DeLisle.
Raimundo Pedrosa
Raimundo is the Xiaolin Dragon of Wind from Rio de Janero, Brazil and can control the wind, like summoning gale force winds and enabling himself to fly. He is a sharp, circus-raised streetwise kid, the jester of the team. Although he is more self-centered than the rest, he can be quite loyal to his own friends. His signature Shen Gong Wu is the Sword of the Storm and his Wudai weapon is the Blade of the Nebula. His elemental Shen Gong Wu is the Crest of the Condor. In "Time After Time (2)" he is promoted to Shoku Warrior level, or team leader, granting him a new set of robes. Raimundo is voiced by Tom Kenny.
Clay Bailey
Clay is a Texas cowboy through and through and the Xiaolin Dragon of Earth, allowing him to cause earthquakes and fissures in the ground and also gives him enhanced strength. He is the most easy-going member of the group, and has an overriding Southern accent. He is always polite and occasionally dispenses down-home pearls of wisdom. His skill in Tai Chi and his element of Earth both emphasize his sense of balance in all things. His main Shen Gong Wu is the Fist of Tebigong, although he sometimes uses others, most notably the Third-Arm Sash and the Lasso Boa Boa. His Wudai weapon is the Big Bang Meteorang, and his Elemental Shen Gong Wu is the Longhorn Taurus. His father owns a ranch in Texas, and his sister Jessie is the leader of an all-girl motorcycle gang called The Black Vipers. He is voiced by Jeff Bennett.
Dojo Kanojo Cho
Dojo Kanojo Cho is Guardian of the Ancient Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu and the dragon that the Xiaolin Warriors ride on. He is a wisecracking dragon of the Chinese variety, though he lacks legs. Like traditional Chinese dragons, Dojo can change his size from roughly equal to that of a gecko to 40 times larger. His shapeshifting also extends to subway trains, boats, impersonating humans, or anything else he can think of. Dojo must be locked up for 24 hours once every 1,500 years, or he will grow another head, turn evil and become compelled to devour every Shen Gong Wu and anything and anyone else that is nearby; there will also be 962 years of darkness. The only recorded time this had happened had caused the disappearance of Atlantis. He is voiced by Wayne Knight.
Jack Spicer
Jack Spicer, voiced by Danny Cooksey, is an Evil Boy Genius and the primary antagonist of the show. He is a super-villain wannabe, who is quite weak and cowardly, though he often exhibits signs of genius with his robots and expertise in mechanics. He is able to create Artificial Intelligence and several effective weapons, and seems to be at his happiest tinkering with things in his Robotics lab (located in his parents' basement). Jack wants the Shen Gong Wu only for power and intends to use them to take over the world. As a reflection on his personality, his favorite (and, as of the end of Season 3, only) Shen Gong Wu is the Monkey Staff, which is one of the only two Shen Gong Wu the Xiaolin warriors do not have (the other being the Wings of Tinabi).
Wuya
An ancient Heylin witch voiced by Susan Silo, Wuya was trapped in a Chinese puzzle box by Grand Master Dashi. She was then released from her puzzle box prison by Jack Spicer, whom she needs to complete her work for her, though she thinks he is useless to her for messing up so many times. Wuya served as the main villainess of season 1. Wuya is able to be returned to her physical form by using a combination of the Serpent's Tail and Reversing Mirror, which has been used on her twice (once by Raimundo, and once by Chase Young). Her physical form is youthful, beautiful, powerful, and always barefoot. Her first revival allowed her to transform the world on a large scale without the use of any Shen Gong Wu, and made her largely invulnerable to their power, but her second revival, while still superhuman, was not nearly as strong. For the first season, except for the last episode, she is in her ghost form. Then after having her physical form destroyed by Raimundo, she is a ghost for the second season then is restored for the third season and remains tangible. During the series she worked with Jack, then Katnappe, then Jack again, until she paired with Mala Mala Jong, after that she paired with Raimundo, then Katnappe, then Jack again, then Rakshak, then Jack, then Chase Young, and with Hannibal Roy Bean to get rid of Chase Young, and with the villains in the final episode.
Chase Young
Chase Young, voiced by Jason Marsden, is the main villain of season 2, who once fought on the side of good but turned to the Heylin side after Hannibal Roy Bean convinced him to drink the Lao-Mang-Long soup that would make him not only immortal and very powerful but drained him of his soul. It had the side effect of turning him into a reptilian creature. Chase has an army of jungle cats that are the warriors he has defeated. Chase has little interest in Shen Gong Wu, only going for the ones he finds necessary to achieve his ends, such as the Ying Yo-Yo and the Eagle Scope. He prefers not to team up with other villains if he can help it. Chase spent most of season two trying to turn Omi to the dark side, which he eventually succeeds.
Hannibal Roy Bean
Hannibal Roy Bean, voiced by Tom Kenny, is a demonic bean with a Southern accent, but is also one of the most dangerous and evil forces in the universe. He served as the main antagonist of season 3. His messenger is the Ying-Ying Bird, mistakenly thought to be the Bird of Paradise by Jack Spicer. Hannibal is the one who turned Chase Young to the Heylin side by giving him the Lao-Mang-Long soup. His favorite Shen Gong Wu is the Moby Morpher, using it to grow larger or extra limbs. Without it he can be seen wearing a large evil looking suit of armor. He has also disguised himself as other characters. Hannibal hates Chase Young, on the grounds Chase locked him in the Ying-Yang World when his back was turned.
Supporting characters
Master Fung
Master Fung is a Xiaolin Master. He often makes the four Dragons do very difficult tasks encouraging teamwork, including forcing them to pull a huge rock-up a cliff. Omi looks up to him very much, and Master Fung always offers guidance with confusing phrases. He accepts the ways of things, and hardly ever battles unless absolutely necessary. Though when he does fight he is rarely matched by his opponents, even when incapacitated and in a wheelchair. Master Fung is very wise and knows things about the young monks they did not even discover about themselves. While he is very serious most of the time, he has been known to crack jokes. Rene Auberjonois voiced Master Fung in Season 1, then he was voiced by Maurice LaMarche in Season 2 and also Season 3.
Jermaine
Jermaine is streetwise, laid back, has excellent basketball skills, and helps Omi when he is separated from his friends. Jermaine then teams up with Omi in a Shen Yi Bu Dare against Jack Spicer and his transforming robot in a two-on-two game of basketball. Omi then offers him a place at the Xiaolin Temple, but Jermaine declines. He later does come to the temple, and he has become so proficient in martial arts that he is already at the third stage of Xiaolin training: Wudai Warrior. It is discovered that Jermaine became an apprentice of Chase Young. However, Jermaine was unaware that Chase was evil. Voiced by Lee Thompson Young.
Grand Master Dashi
Grand Master Dashi is the legendary Xiaolin Dragon who defeated Wuya and hid the Shen Gong Wu 1500 years ago. According to the ancient Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu, Dashi was the first and most powerful of all Xiaolin Dragons. His first appearance was when Omi traveled back in time 1500 years to obtain a second puzzle box to trap Wuya. Before he and Omi parted ways, Dashi surmised that Omi would someday rise to the level of Grand Master Xiaolin Dragon. When Omi travels back in time to stop Chase Young from turning to the dark side he aids Grand Master Dashi in defeating Wuya. He is voiced by Tom Kenny.
Master Monk Guan
Master Monk Guan is a legendary Tai Chi master who has traveled the world a dozen times, and has defeated numerous opponents using only his famous Spear of Guan. In a later episodes, the young monks are sent to him for combat training to fight against Hannibal Roy Bean. Guan is incredibly tough to them. In Time After Time (2) when Omi stopped Hannibal Bean from turning Chase Young to evil, Hannibal turned Guan evil instead, giving him a monster form.
Chameleon-Bot
The Chameleon-Bot is Jack Spicer's strongest robot and is able to take the forms of nearly anyone or anything else. It is able to extend its arms, grow a third arm, and spin its waist. Its default form is a gray robot with red and yellow accents. Its first appearance was in episode six, "Chameleon", when it was made by Jack and sent in Kimiko's place as an impostor. Later on in the episode Royal Rumble, it returns as version 2.0.
Cyclops
Cyclops is an enormous, fat, red, and dim-witted giant monster. He has no depth perception, and his only good points are his immense strength and dark power eye beams. He worked with Jack Spicer after Wuya abandoned him, then later sided with Chase Young, only to be shot out of a catapult. He later returned in Judging Omi fighting the monks and Jack's army of evil. He is voiced by Jeff Bennett. He makes a cameo in Time After Time (2) at the all-villains final showdown.
Jack-Bots
Standard model robots built by Jack Spicer. The basic models possess flight capability. The weapons include lasers and rotating blades. Jack creates customized versions for specific missions, such as bubble-bots, koi-bots and worm-bots. In "Time After Time (1)" jack upgrades these robots, making them indestructible. PandaBubba has financed certain upgrades.
Katnappe
Katnappe (aka Ashley) is a girl who met Jack Spicer at one of his parents' parties. After Jack failed in acquiring the Golden Tiger Claws, she joined him and Wuya on the Heylin side. She wears a form-fitting catsuit with heeled boots. She wears make-up to give herself whiskers. She has genetically altered super-kittens that she uses against the Xiaolin. She has also participated in the royal rumble, and later joined Jack's new army of evil, then sided with Chase Young, eventually being fired from a catapult. Her speech is peppered with meows and purrs. But unlike the other super villains, she does not have the desire to take over the world and only seems to be a villain for her own personal enjoyment. She puts a new meaning to the crimanely insane. She is voiced by Jennifer Hale.
Mala Mala Jong
An ancient evil demonic warrior made up of the Helmet of Jong, the Heart of Jong, the Two-Ton Tunic, Jetbootsu, Fist of Tebigong, Third-Arm Sash, Shroud of Shadows, Eye of Dashi (its main parts), and possibly any other Shen Gong Wu it can acquire. After Jack first assembled Mala Mala Jong, Wuya abandoned Jack for Mala Mala Jong and invaded the Xiaolin Temple with it. Jong was eventually defeated by Omi, who used the Serpent's Tail to get to the center of the Earth and retrieve the Golden Tiger Claws, with which he went inside and removed the Heart of Jong, destroying the evil threat. Jong later returned as part of an occurrence that happens every 1,000 years, when the planets line up, reuniting the Shen Gong Wu into Mala Mala Jong. Jong used the Ring of the Nine Dragons to split into the Fearsome Four, and went after the Emperor Scorpion. Each Jong of the Fearsome Four somehow got differences: One of them wears the Orb of Tornami around its neck; the other has the Eye of Dashi; the other has the Ruby of Ramses and the last one has the Star Hanabi; also, three of the Fearsome Four wears the Wushu Helmet, and the other wears the Helmet of Jong.
The Fearsome Four were commanded by Jack Spicer using the Emperor Scorpion for a time, but were defeated by the Xiaolin Dragons in a Xiaolin Showdown. Mala Mala Jong made a cameo in "Time after Time (2)"It/They are aligned with the Heylin.
PandaBubba
A ruthless Hong Kong kingpin, voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, PandaBubba entered the picture when Jack traded him the Shen Gong Wu to get a loan for robot parts, which he used to build his Yes-Bot. PandaBubba discovered how the Shen Gong Wu worked as well as how to perform a Xiaolin Showdown, or in his case, a Showdown Trio, from a cheat sheet Jack left in the left Jetbootsu. He had plans to take over Hong Kong, but was defeated by Raimundo and arrested by the police. He later returned, tricking Kimiko's father into making him a business partner. He attempted to take control of the video game company, but was beaten by Kimiko in a Xiaolin Showdown playing Goo Zombies 4. He has the vague appearance of a panda, with his strange hairstyle that resembles panda ears, the black rings around his eyes, his bulky appearance and his black and white business suit. PandaBubba and two of his henchmen makes a cameo in "Time After Time (2)".He is somewhat aligned with the Heylin.
Robo-Jack Spicer
Robo-Jack was first built by Jack Spicer some time between Wuya's defeat at the hands of the Xiaolin and the revealing of The Shard of Lightning. It is an exact robotic duplicate of Jack Spicer, right down to the evil laughter. However, Robo-Jack has greater strength, skill, and wisecracks, as well as a slight computer-like tone to his voice. Robo-Jack first defected from its creator at the Xiaolin Showdown over the Silver Manta Ray, and was destroyed by Omi at the end of the Showdown through his use of the Tongue of Saiping. Jack rebuilt Robo-Jack in The Apprentice, attempting to make Robo-Jack more loyal by installing an obedience-chip in his system, but that too failed when the Woozy Shooter was revealed, and he was destroyed again at the end of the episode (along with other more obedient clones). He was last time seen in "Wu got the power", only to get destroyed a third time (he was only a distraction so the real Jack could steal some Wu). He is aligned with the Heylin.
Sapphire Dragon
Technically a Shen Gong Wu, the Sapphire Dragon most definitely constitutes a villain. When it was accidentally activated by Kimiko, it began turning everyone in the Xiaolin Temple into sapphire statues, and controlling them, literally turning them into sapphire zombies. As each victim fell, it became stronger. Finally, only Dojo was left. However, Dojo discovered the secret to defeating the Sapphire Dragon: soot. The Sapphire Dragon was created for the purpose of an absolute last resort should the Heylin Forces ever gain too much of an upper hand. Bolstering his less than effective firepower with "Grandpappy's Texas Tin-Horn Sizzlin' Salsa Sauce", Dojo overcame the Sapphire Dragon and restored all of its victims to normal. Dojo also proposed being appointed a Dragon Warrior of fire, soot, or gas, but all the good elements were already taken. The Sapphire Dragon can be controlled by the Emperor Scorpion. Dojo can hurt the Sapphire Dragon by using his claws. Hannibal Roy Bean later used the Shadow of Fear in combination with the Moby Morpher to disguise the Sapphire Dragon as Raimundo's worst physical fear, which appeared every time Raimundo fell asleep. However, Raimundo overcame his fear just in time to save Omi from defeat in a Xiaolin Showdown with the Dragon. It is technically aligned with whoever possesses the Emperor Scorpion.
Tubbimura
Tubbimura is an extremely overweight, but surprisingly agile ninja that is promised by Wuya and Jack Spicer that if he retrieves a Shen Gong Wu called the Sword of the Storm then he will be able to join the Heylin. He defeats Raimundo and then brings the Sword of the Storm back to Jack and Wuya and joins the side of evil. Later Tubbimura is defeated by Raimundo in a Shen Yi Bu Dare and loses three Shen Gong Wu. Tubbimura participated in the Royal Rumble and defeated Clay in a Xiaolin Showdown for the Tongue of Saiping. Later he joined Jack when Jack was desperate for a partner, but they broke up because of tensions between them. After that, Tubbimura joins part of Jack's New Army of Evil and then goes to the side of Chase Young, only to be shot out of a catapult. His fighting style is a mix between sumo and ninjutsu. He also owns a Chihuahua named "Muffin Face" that he has Jack Spicer walk as a method of payment for his services in "Something Jermaine". Tubbimura makes a cameo in "Time After Time (2)". He is voiced by Maurice LaMarche. He is aligned with the Heylin.
Vlad
An overweight vendor from Russia (who has thick accent to match) who infiltrated the Xiaolin Temple. Vlad at first seemed to be a friend to the Xiaolin Warriors, but tricked Omi into believing he would become evil. However, Vlad blew it by revealing how he had used the Reversing Mirror while Omi wore the Crystal Glasses, thus showing the opposite of the real future. Omi then defeated Vlad, who returned and helped Jack obtain the Heylin Seed. He then showed up again as part of Jack's New Army of Evil, but went over to Chase Young, only to be shot out of a catapult. Vlad makes a cameo in "Time After Time (2)". He is voiced by Tom Kenny. He is aligned with the Heylin.
Ying-Ying Bird
The Ying-Ying Bird is Hannibal Roy Bean's means of transportation and his messenger. While the others call him The Ying-Ying Bird, Hannibal calls him Ying Ying and he seems to prefer that. It can transport itself to the Ying-Yang World, record what it sees, and play it back using its eyes as projectors. It also has the ability to leave the Ying-Yang World without leaving its good or bad chi behind, as one would have to do with either the Ying Yo-Yo or the Yang Yo-Yo. When it is disguised as an ordinary parrot, it is mistaken for the Bird of Paradise and is taken in by Jack Spicer who calls it "Little Jack." It later abandons him after Kimiko's showdown with Wuya for the Moby Morpher with a squawk of, "Fetch your own Wu, sissy boy!!". It is aligned with the Heylin.
Jessie Bailey
The younger sister of Clay Bailey, introduced in the episode "The Black Vipers." She was a leader of the Black Vipers all-girl biker gang. She originally turned evil because she was jealous of the attention Clay received from their parents, as well as the fact that Clay was allowed to go to "Monk School." She challenged Clay to a Xiaolin Showdown and won all the Dragons' Shen Gong Wu, but in the end she had a change of heart, forgiving Clay and returning all of the Shen Gong Wu (with the exception of the Wings of Tinabi, which she kept for herself). She was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. She originally appears to be aligned to herself only; but she still has loyalty to her brother and in extension the Xiaolin.
Le Mime
A French mime, whose first appearance was in the episode "Like a rock!" Le Mime possesses magical powers, ranging from an imaginary lasso, to an invisible box. He first demonstrated his powers to the monks when he trapped Omi, Kimiko and Raimundo within the invisible box, the only fault being you have to imagine a way to get out to get out. He later mirrored Clay's every move, until Clay punched himself in the face, knocking out the mime. Like a mime, he doesn't talk. He also makes a cameo in "Chucky Choo", "Time After Time (1)", "Time after time (2)". His blog page is also showed to Jack by Vlad in the episode "Demon Seed". He is aligned with the Heylin.
Gigi
Gigi is the evil French flower that blooms when the Heylin Seed is unleashed. This happens in the episode "Demon Seed" and "Time After Time 2". He was named by Jack Spicer when he and Vlad stole the seed from the Xiaolin and allowed it to activate. He is a self proclaimed "Very naughty plant, don't you know?" and a "Little slice of Heaven, no?" He is supposed to be more powerful than Shen Gong Wu and the only thing that can stop him is a Wu called the Moonstone Locust which releases a swarm of locusts that eat any plant matter. Gigi has the power to turn people and dragons into plants by spraying them with spray from his flowers. By the end of the episode "Demon Seed" everyone except Raimundo has been turned into their inner plant. Raimundo challenges Gigi to a Xiaolin Showdown over the Moonstone Locust and wins then destroys Gigi. The Heylin seed is stored in the Heylin Seed Vault underneath the temple so that no evil doer will ever find it. He is voiced by Jeff Bennett and is aligned with the Heylin.
