The following is a list of characters from the DreamWorks animated film media franchise Kung Fu Panda, with their shorts and specials Secrets of the Furious Five, Kung Fu Panda Holiday, Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters, and Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll, as well as the video games and TV show Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness and Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny.

Protagonists

Master Po Ping

Po
Kung Fu Panda character
Voiced by	Jack Black (films, TV specials) Liam Knight (young) Mick Wingert (TV series, video games) Eric Loomis (Kung Fu Panda: Legendary Warriors)
In-universe information
Species	Giant panda
Combat Style	Improvised and Panda Kung Fu
Family	Li Shan (biological father) Mr. Ping (adoptive father)

Master Po Ping (Chinese for "Precious Peace"), born Lotus Shan, is the protagonist of the Kung Fu Panda franchise. He is a fast-talking giant panda who was improbably chosen as the Dragon Warrior, champion of the Valley of Peace. Although highly doubted as such, the giant panda proved himself worthy as a formidable warrior in unexpected ways. The adoptive son of Mr. Ping, a goose who owns a noodle restaurant, Po is one of Shifu's students, the prophesied Dragon Warrior, the Warrior of Black and White, and the True Master of Chi.

In the first film, Po is shown to be living with his adoptive father Mr. Ping and working at his noodle restaurant, dreaming of a life as a celebrated kung fu master. However, because of his excessive weight and work fueling a crippling self-loathing, he cannot achieve this dream. However, to his surprise, he is chosen to be the legendary Dragon Warrior seemingly by accident; therefore, Oogway's selection of him is doubted by all until Po defeats Tai Lung.

In the second film, Po is shown to have had a traumatic childhood, having been separated from his biological father, Li Shan, during a panda genocide committed by Lord Shen. This lord wanted to avert his prophecy about being stopped by a "warrior of black and white", and killed Po's mother while she was saving her son.

Po is often flustered and clumsy, but generally laid back and easy going. While he seems childish, overenthusiastic, and mildly dim-witted, he has a deep appreciation of the martial arts and can genuinely be a brave, intelligent panda. As a result, Po is a formidable warrior who is not only capable of teaching the discipline's philosophical and physical elements, but is also able to learn traditional techniques quickly with the right instruction while developing powerful innovations.

In Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Po is shown to be defending the Valley of Peace, with assistance from Shifu and the Furious Five. All the while, Po learns lessons and more about the history of Kung Fu, as well as meeting famous Kung Fu masters like him.

In the third film, Shifu leaves the role of teaching to Po, much to his shock. Po's first lesson ends up with the Furious Five getting injured. Afterwards, he goes to the Memorial Garden, where he finds out Shifu set him up to fail. Eventually, when he turns to Mr. Ping's restaurant, his biological father Li Shan appears and takes him to his secret panda village.

Master Shifu

Master Shifu
Kung Fu Panda character
First appearance	"Kung Fu Panda" (2008)
Voiced by	Dustin Hoffman (films, TV specials) Fred Tatasciore (video games, TV series)
In-universe information
Species	Red panda
Combat Style	Red Panda Kung Fu
Family	Shirong (father) Tai Lung (adoptive son) Tigress (adoptive daughter)

Master Shifu (Chinese for "Master") is a wise, leucistic red panda Kung Fu Master who resides in the Jade Palace as its headmaster, known to have trained Po and the Furious Five in Kung Fu, as well as Tai Lung.

Before the franchise, Shifu was used throughout his childhood as a shill by his father, Shirong, an incorrigible con artist and master thief who he accompanied to other villages to sell fake amulets. Eventually, Shirong left him at the Jade Palace, promising to return in five minutes, but never returned. Shirong did visit his son every ten years, but each visit always turned out to be a trick, and the deed he made emotionally scarred Shifu.

In the first film, Shifu is quite often shown to be angered, frustrated, despairing or worried, at first for an unknown reason. However, it is later revealed that Tai Lung is Shifu's adoptive son, whom he had trained, loved, and raised as if he were his own. This extends to Po who was dubbed the Dragon Warrior against all logic from Shifu's point of view. Shifu's initial hostility to the giant panda fades upon learning his considerable latent talent for the martial arts. During his fight against Tai Lung, Shifu was fighting himself as much as he was fighting Tai Lung, denying that he'd had any fault in Tai Lung's actions after he was refused the Dragon Scroll by Oogway. After enduring a brutal showdown against Tai Lung, Shifu finally acknowledges his own culpability. After Tai Lung's defeat, and having finally stopped lying to himself, Shifu gains inner peace, knowing that the valley is safe from Tai Lung's bitterness about being refused the Dragon Scroll.

In the second film, Shifu is now much more relaxed and is therefore a much better master to Po and The Five than he used to be. However, he loses inner peace after he sees that Po is seemingly killed by one of Lord Shen's cannons. He does not regain inner peace until after Shen is killed.

In the third film, Shifu retires from active teaching to focus on learning how to use chi, passing on the mantle of instructor to Po. When Po doubts his abilities, Shifu is the one to comfort him and give him advice, like Oogway did, and along with the Furious Five meets Po's father, Li Shan. When the kung fu masters have their chi taken and are turned into jade soldiers by the spirit warrior Kai, Shifu sends Crane and Mantis to investigate and find his hideout. When Kai attacks the Jade Palace, Shifu, Monkey, Viper, and Tigress try to fight, but are defeated, with Shifu watching in horror as Kai destroys the Jade Palace and Oogway's statue. Shifu is then turned into a jade soldier and utilized against the pandas when Kai attacks their village. He is returned to normal when Po destroys Kai in the Spirit Realm and celebrates with him and the other pandas afterwards.

In Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Shifu is the Master of the Jade Palace while training Po and the Furious Five. It is revealed in "The Maltese Mantis" that Shifu, like Po, has a childish side to his demeanor and keeps several action figures of his favorite Kung Fu masters, and also like Po, is not above playing with them.

Grand Master Oogway

Grand Master Oogway
Kung Fu Panda character
First appearance	Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Last appearance	Kung Fu Panda 3
Voiced by	Randall Duk Kim (film and TV series) Greg Baldwin (video game) Piotr Michael (Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny)
In-universe information
Species	Galápagos tortoise
Combat style	Shaolinquan and T'ai chi ch'uan
Age	Nearly 1,000 years old

Grand Master Oogway (Chinese for "Tortoise") was an elderly Galápagos tortoise known to have been the previous senior headmaster of the Jade Palace and the founder of Kung Fu itself.[1]

Not much is revealed about Grand Master Oogway past life, although in one of the Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness episodes it is revealed that the Jade Palace was built to honor him. However, it is implied that he was probably full of questions as a youth, which led to his departure from his home in the Galápagos Islands on a journey of discovery almost a thousand years ago, traveling all around the world and visiting every country until he arrived in the Valley of Peace.

In the first film, Oogway is shown to be highly venerated for his wisdom, knowledge and experience, and considered a sage. Unlike Shifu, who is cold, abrasive and extremely strict, Oogway is kind, affectionate, caring and accepting. It is also apparent that he seemed to be reckoned as a god in the art of Kung Fu, as he was greatly respected by Shifu, the Furious Five, Po, the entire Valley of Peace, and all of China. He is wise and possesses considerable physical skill. He is the only one that Tai Lung could not defeat, instantly paralyzing him. His selection of Po as the Dragon Warrior was strongly doubted by all, especially Po himself, but he stood by his decision, which proved to be the correct one. After convincing Shifu to train Po, Oogway ascended to the Spirit Realm in the midst of dozens of peach blossom petals floating away in the breeze. Among all the proverbs he recites, his most recurring is "There are no accidents."

In the second film, Oogway makes a cameo taking in place of the moon boy in the DreamWorks logo, and during a flashback wherein Po recounts all the major happenings of his life, including the day he was chosen as the Dragon Warrior. In the accompanying film Secrets of the Masters, it is revealed that Oogway was responsible for uniting the masters Thundering Rhino, Storming Ox, and Croc for the first time. After observing the trio as dishonorable streetfighters and learning of the return of the evil Wu Sisters, Oogway led them on a quest to defeat the villains, leading to the trio's reformation and their part in forming the Masters Council.

In the third film, it is revealed that 500 years ago, Oogway was once best friends and brothers-in-arms with a powerful general named Kai. When Oogway was badly wounded in an ambush, Kai carried him to a hidden Panda village where the pandas healed him through use of chi, later teaching him to use it as well. However, Kai wanted this power all to himself and tried to take the chi of the pandas, forcing Oogway to confront him. After a long and fierce battle, Oogway banished Kai to the Spirit Realm. Sometime after Oogway ascended there, Kai challenges him to a rematch, defeating him and using his chi to return to the mortal realm. The vengeful Kai then attempts to take the chi from everyone in China. After Kai is destroyed by Po in the Spirit Realm, Oogway reveals that he specifically chose Po as the Dragon Warrior due to his being a descendant of the pandas who helped him long ago in addition to being a worthy successor to carry on his legacy and alerted Li Shan (Po's biological father) that Po was alive. Oogway then tells Po that he is now a master of chi, giving him a jade staff he wielded previously, and tells him that if he wishes he can return to the mortal realm.

More of Grand Master Oogway's past was revealed in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. It was shown that Grand Master Oogway broke the Valley of Peace's citizens from Scorpion's hypnosis, fended off his treacherous student Fenghuang, saved the valley from evil demons and their leader Ke-Pa, chose Shifu to run the Jade Palace instead of Junjie, and imprisoned Master Ding in Mugu Mountain after separating him from his Spirit Orbs. In "Ghost of Oogway," Junjie assumed the form of Oogway to trick Po and the Furious Five into letting their guard down. Shifu later assumed the form of the ghost of Grand Master Oogway to fool Junjie, who had also studied under Oogway in his youth. Following Junjie's defeat, Shifu stated to Po that he knew Junjie was impersonating Grand Master Oogway because the real Grand Master Oogway never said "awesome." In the episode's final scene, it was shown that the real ghost of Grand Master Oogway was watching the battle from the peach tree and stated "awesome" before ascending back to the heavens. Oogway also battled alongside the previous incarnation of the Furious Five whose membership included Shifu and Fenghuang, an evil owl who betrayed the group and only fled because Oogway proved more than a match for her. Oogway and the five also battled such villains as Master Ding, a corrupt Kung Fu master with great mental powers. In the two part-episode "Enter the Dragon" it was revealed that Ookay once battled a horde of demons led by the evil Ke-Pa using the Hero's Chi, a power granted to only one Kung Fu Master per generation. Oogway managed to seal most of the demons away in a vault but was left powerless against Ke-Pa until his powers were restored by the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom. Trapping Ke-Pa in the form of an aged pig, Oogway built the Jade Palace atop the vault containing the other demons to prevent them from escaping in the future. After he passed on, the Hero's Chi passed to Po, who would later use it to battle the demons again and destroy Ke-Pa permanently.

Furious Five

The Furious Five are the supporting protagonists of the franchise; with the exception of Oogway, Shifu, Po, and Tai Lung, the Furious Five are deemed the most skilled warriors in China. The Five were all trained by Shifu, and are homages to the Five Animals Southern styles of Chinese martial arts (i.e. crane, viper, monkey, mantis, and tiger).[2][3][4] The Furious Five initially refused to believe that Po was the Dragon Warrior, but later grew to respect his courage and tenacity. When Tai Lung was defeated by Po in single combat, they were convinced enough to bow to the giant panda as a master.

Po has become fast friends with the Five and regularly fights alongside them and they have incorporated their group tactics with him to become an even more formidable fighting force. Discussing Po's new placement with the Furious Five in Kung Fu Panda 2, Jack Black has regarded Po as the "technical leader" of the quintet. However, because he is "still finding his way" through his insecurities and clumsiness, the group doesn't become the "Furious Six", but rather "The Furious Five and the Dragon Warrior" — with Master Tigress as the "real" leader according to Black.

In the Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness episode "Owl Be Back", it was revealed that there had been other incarnations of the Furious Five before Tigress, Monkey, Viper, Mantis, and Crane back when Master Oogway was still alive. The preceding line-up consisted of Master Shifu, Fenghuang, Master Rooster, Master Snow Leopard, and Master Elephant.[5]

Master Tigress

Master Tigress
Kung Fu Panda character
First appearance	Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Voiced by	Angelina Jolie (films, TV specials) Tara Strong (young) Tara Macri (teenager) Bobby Holliday (video games) Kari Wahlgren (TV series and Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll)
In-universe information
Species	South China tiger
Combat style	Black Tiger Kung Fu
Eye colour	Fiery orange
Gender	Female
Family	Shifu (adopted father)

Master Tigress is a tiger and also the founder of the Furious Five. Tigress bitterly resented Po when he was chosen to be the Dragon Warrior instead of her, and was the most vocal of the Five in her contempt for the panda even while her comrades grew to respect him. On his first night, she firmly told Po he didn't belong at the Jade Palace, sarcastically proclaiming that he was a disgrace to kung fu, and that he should leave. Though dejected, Po eventually chose to stay and they became best friends and the strongest 2 of the whole group.[6]

After the passing of Oogway and news that Tai Lung had escaped prison, Tigress overheard Po protesting to Shifu that he would never be able to defeat Tai Lung. Tigress took it upon herself to intercept the incoming villain, along with the rest of the Five. Tigress managed to counter Tai Lung and best him, matching his prowess, blow-for-blow. However, they were all defeated by Tai Lung's superior martial skill and nerve attack. At the order of Shifu, Tigress and the rest of the Five evacuated the Valley without question. When Po defeats Tai Lung, Tigress is the first to acknowledge him as a master of kung fu, giving him a smile and bowing to him in respect, with the rest of the Five following suit.

In Secrets of the Furious Five, Tigress was revealed to be an orphan living in the Bao Gu Orphanage where she was greatly feared by the other children and the matron due to her destructive temper and strength. Isolated in her room for the safety of the other children, she began to see herself as a monster, as everyone else did. Shifu, at the request of the orphanage, came to teach her to control herself by playing dominoes, which required discipline, grace, and precision. After months of training, Tigress learned to control both her anger and her movements. However, she was still feared by all potential parents who visited the orphanage, and Shifu soon took her in as a foster daughter. However, Shifu still carried the emotional scars of previous events, and was strict and distant in her upbringing.

In Secrets of the Scroll, It is further revealed that Shifu was very strict in her Kung Fu training, and did not approve of her natural aggression and immense strength emerging during practices. Shifu originally wanted her to become as much like him as possible; Tigress in turn aspired to have as much control and skill as he did, while at the same time believing she would never be like him, while Oogway agreed with her and believed that Tigress should be encouraged to grow into her own. When Shifu heard news of Boar, a dangerous warrior who had defeated several Kung Fu masters and was spreading terror through China, Tigress wanted to help, but he refused to let her. However, when Shifu fell ill due to a bad batch of food served by Po, Shifu sent Tigress to find four warriors to help fight Boar. However, when she dropped the scroll containing Shifu's message, she inadvertently mixed it up with a scroll Po had thrown away; one with a list of things he could aspire to be: a cleaner, comedian, dancer, and doctor. Tigress sought out the ones fitting this description, in this way meeting Crane, Monkey, Viper, and Mantis for the first time and learning from them how to be herself. However, when Shifu saw those she had brought, Shifu told her that she had failed, and ordered the Valley of Peace evacuated. Tigress however, stayed to fight, pretending to be Shifu, and after initially being defeated, found herself aided by Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey, who had stayed out of loyalty to their friend. Tigress realized during the fight through their actions and Boar's words that she was not Shifu and never would be, and unleashed her true power; together with her companions, Boar was defeated. Upon returning, Shifu admitted that he was proud of her, and despite saying her style of fighting was unfocused and undisciplined, agreed to help her and the others develop their skills, eventually leading to them becoming the Furious Five. Tigress' finding the other members of the future Furious Five was due in part to the actions of Po, and their defeat of Boar in turn inspired his love of Kung Fu and led to his eventual destiny as the Dragon Warrior.

In spite of her temperate, stoic, and sarcastic attitude, Tigress is probably the most loyal of the Five, extremely dedicated to the well-being of the Valley of Peace. As the leader of the group, Tigress holds an enormous sense of responsibility, and has no greater ambition than to protect the Valley and perfect her own skills.

However, through Po's single comment in Kung Fu Panda 2 that she is so hardcore that she "can't feel anything", Tigress begins to question how others perceive her. She has also become a close friend to Po, and better understands his foibles, fighting closely with the panda and using tandem combat techniques they have developed together, although she can still get easily embarrassed by him. While still direct and commanding, she is also protective of Po, as shown by her efforts to keep him from battling Shen after he freezes in front of the peacock. Additionally, she later pushes him out of the way when Shen fires his cannon at him a second time. Po reciprocates this closeness to her immediately after that sacrifice with him and all his comrades strewn half-conscious about in the bay; namely, he swims to her alone and holds her paw in deep concern for her well-being. After Po's single-handed defeat of the peacock, Tigress helps him out of the water before complimenting him for his astounding victory, which Po silently answers with a hug. Tigress also listened to Po about his 'daddy issues', as Viper put it, showing that she cares how he is feeling, although she was still sarcastic to him.

Tigress also displays a caring, rather maternal personality towards infants. At the end of the original film, when Tai Lung is defeated, she is seen holding a rabbit child and protecting it from the blast's shockwave by pulling it close to her chest. In Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special, she playfully feeds one of the village piglets during the festival. And finally, in Kung Fu Panda 3, she is seen having a tea party with Po's baby cousin Lei Lei just before Kai arrives at the Secret Panda Village.

In Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, it is revealed that Tigress was left at the Bao Gu Orphanage by her parents. It is also shown that she was, at one point, not good with children. Tigress appears to be more stern and irritable throughout the series, and gets agitated with Po more than any of the rest of the Five. Despite this, she is still a dedicated warrior and friend. Po has wanted to be friends with her since he was five, and often tries to encourage his friendship with her. While she is distant, and often violent towards others, she shows a genuine, deep caring for Po and Shifu, expressing joy and relief when they are revealed alive in different episodes, hugging Po and spinning Shifu around, (though she quickly recovers) to the intense embarrassment of others nearby.

She also shows signs of romantic feelings for the Midnight Stranger (actually Po, who was secretly defying the kung fu ban in place at the time), being sappy and girly, in defiance of her normal surly characteristics. When she discovers that Po is the Midnight Stranger, then she is disappointed and says she is 'going to go throw up', to the disappointment and possible offending of Po, who had been excited for her to discover his identity. She has shown deep caring for Shifu, who is her father figure. In 'Kung Fu Day Care', she takes care of and teaches kung fu to Zan, a young boy who is actually the Emperor's nephew, and she realises that Shifu, while being cold towards her, had actually taken some time to look after her and had played checkers with her.

Tigress often shows how much she was brought up to kung fu—which, to say the least, is abnormally. For instance, Po jokes that she has "protocol for a three foot tall rooster holding a battle axe and a banana."; she responds with, apparently, the respective protocol: "Approach from the battle axe side: banana's a decoy." She also doesn't understand the meaning of relaxation. Tigress actually left the Jade palace at one time, as Po's antics were annoying her. She also doesn't like festivals, and through her coldness, in Legends of Awesomeness she is often believed to be a man. Whenever Po hugs her, she freezes up and looks awkward, this feeling spreading throughout the group.

In Kung Fu Panda 3, Master Tigress evades being attacked by Kai in order to warn Po that Kai is coming for the Pandas. Using what she learned from Po and about who she is, Tigress along with Li, Mr. Ping and the pandas are able to use their chi to rescue Po in order for him to defeat Kai.

Master Viper

First appearance	Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Voiced by	Lucy Liu (films & TV series) Jessica DiCicco (young) Kath Soucie (video games)
In-universe information
Species	Green tree viper
Combat style	Viper Kung Fu

Master Viper is a viper with two small lotus flowers on top of her head. Although she has a serious birth defect for her species, being born with barely visible venomous fangs, she compensates with her strength, sinuous nature, beauty, and precision. In defiance of the villainous stereotype of snakes, Viper is the most charming, kind, compassionate and sweetest of the Five as demonstrated with her quickly developing empathy for Po as his indomitable tenacity became obvious and being the only one who didn't mock him in any way. She also acts as the "mother hen" of the group, trying to defuse arguments and conflicts between her friends and their differing personalities.

In Secrets of the Furious Five, Viper was revealed to be daughter of Great Master Viper, protector of the village where she lived who relied on his venomous fangs to fell his enemies, and his beautiful wife. The Great Master hoped she would carry on his legacy once she was born, but she was without fangs and never developed them as she grew up, much to the dismay of her father. To make her father feel better, Viper took up ribbon dancing at age six, blossoming into the best dancer in the village. During one Autumn Moon Festival, Viper was too timid to attend the festival and stayed home with her mother. But when her father fought against a gorilla bandit who attacked the village and used venom-proof armor to shatter the Great Master's poison fangs, Viper, seeing him in trouble, mustered the courage she needed to defeat the gorilla by confusing him with her dancing skills and tying him up with her ribbon. Thus her father's legacy was secure with his daughter becoming a mighty warrior on her own terms.

In Secrets of the Scroll, Viper was asked by Tigress to appear at the Jade Palace (where she thought she was to be asked to perform for Master Shifu and Oogway). However, Shifu, displeased with her not being a warrior, sent her and her companions, Crane, Monkey and Mantis away to safety when Boar threatened the Valley of Peace. However, when Tigress faced Boar, she and the others came to her aid, helping to defeat him. Shifu then offered to help them develop their skills into Kung Fu styles of their own, eventually creating the Furious Five.

In Kung Fu Panda Holiday, it is revealed that Viper has sisters whom she loved to cook with during the Winter Feast, but in Secrets of the Furious Five, she is shown as an only child. It may be possible that Viper is merely the firstborn in her family and her sisters could all be younger siblings, though this remains unconfirmed.[7]

In Kung Fu Panda 2, Viper is shown to be the most transparent in her feelings and the most openly compassionate. When the group, hidden inside a Chinese dragon costume, witness the wolves' brutal treatment of the peasants of Gongmen City, Viper's face is shown to be openly horrified. She is also shown to be able to pick locks with her tail and in "Ladies of the Shade," she can swallow things for a while.

In Kung Fu Panda 3, Viper is among the members of the Jade Palace who meet Po's father, Li Shan and fight the Jombies (jade statues possessing the chi of Kung Fu master past and present) controlled by Kai when he attacks them. Viper herself has her chi taken and is herself turned into a Jombie when Kai attacks and destroys the Jade Palace. She is returned to normal when Po destroys Kai and is later seen celebrating alongside him and the rest of the Furious Five.

In Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny, Coming Soon...

Master Monkey

Voiced by	Jackie Chan (films, Kung Fu Panda: Legendary Warriors) Jaycee Chan (young) James Sie (video games and TV series)
In-universe information
Species	Gee's golden langur
Combat style	Monkey Kung Fu

Master Monkey is monkey with a thick Chinese accent who is the friendliest and most approachable of the Five. Monkey was the first of the five to recognize Po's determination and was at first, the only member of the Furious Five who referred to Po by name. He also seems to harbor the strongest sense of humor within the Five as well, responding most strongly to Po's sense of comedy. Unlike the others, Master Monkey prefers to use a weapon in combat. He uses a staff, a traditional weapon used in Kung Fu and other martial arts and strongly associated with the legendary Monkey King Sun Wukong.

Before he became a kung fu warrior, it is known in the Secrets of the Furious Five that Monkey was the village trickster when he was a teenager, often making people slip on banana peels and/or pantsing them in revenge for an incident in his youth that resulted in him becoming a laughingstock. The townspeople sent many powerful warriors, including rhinoceros guards from Chorh-Gom Prison, to force him out of town dead or alive, but Monkey humiliated each and every one of them by swiping their belts off, resulting in their pants falling down. Monkey was finally subdued by Master Oogway, who, aside from wearing no pants, also used his shell to hide from Monkey's attacks. Oogway taught Monkey compassion by saving him from a falling beam, sensing the pain of what caused Monkey's actions. Instead of making him leave, Oogway convinced him to stay and use his skills for good, which led Monkey to develop into the warrior he is today.[8]

In Kung Fu Panda 2, Monkey continues to provide much of the humor. When they break into the prison to free Master Ox and Master Croc, he offers to stand watch and make crane noises if the guards come into view—insulting Crane, who asks indignantly when he's ever made such noises. Monkey is also the first to try to rally the Furious Five after Po seemingly dies and the group is in chains, heading for execution. He turns to Tigress in this time, and seems to look to her for reassurance.

In the Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness episode "Monkey in the Middle," it is revealed that Master Monkey has a criminal older brother named Wu Kong who is the self-proclaimed "King of Thieves." He also had a mother who died from shock and grief after seeing her two sons fight. Despite this tragedy, Monkey is shown to be a prankster who is often having fun and joking around with Po, whom he sees as a brother. In "Secret Admirer", Monkey told Po of his story in a flashback: when he was a very young monkey, he was trying to impress the girls, but they fancied Wu Kong. He saw the girls follow his brother around, but nobody had loved him until he fell in love with a female rabbit girl named Ya Ya, who had had blue eyes and pink robes. One night, he would have proposed to Ya Ya, but instead saw Wu Kong kiss Ya Ya in the front of him and was upset.

Master Mantis

In-universe information
Species	Chinese mantis
Combat style	Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu

Master Mantis is a mantis who is the smallest of the Five, but he is obviously the strongest proportional to his size, and can move at inhuman speeds. He is also a skilled acupuncturist, although his success does depend on the type of body he is working with. Pragmatic and open minded with a dry sense of humor, Mantis was the first of the five to develop acceptance and liking of Po as a person, alongside the factor of Po's girth, declaring size did little to define a warrior and could actually be used as an advantage no matter what style one practices.

When he was younger (in Secrets of the Furious Five), Mantis was extremely impatient, feeling that the world was too slow for him and he was too fast for the world. On a mission to retrieve wool coats back from the Wool Stealing Crocodile Bandits, he was captured due to his overconfidence and lack of listening skills when one of the sheep villagers tried to warn him of the bandits' traps. Mantis was locked in a cage for days and forced to sit and wait for something to happen, and he entered a trance that allowed him to survey the world moving faster than he did. This allowed him to develop the patience needed to devise a plan of escape, playing dead to trick the crocodiles into opening his cage and defeat them.[9]

In the sequel, Mantis' background is further revealed. When the group interrupts Po and Tigress in an effort to give "emotional support", Mantis says wistfully that he never got to know his father, because his mother ate his father's head. Later, when it seems as if they are about to die, Mantis sighs that he always expected to settle down with "a nice girl who would later eat my head."

In Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Mantis has had two relationships, with a caterpillar and a female mantis named Hao Ming, and is shown to be an emotional wreck when he is dumped. This ties in with his remarks in the second film about wanting to settle down.

Master Crane

Master Crane

First appearance	Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Voiced by	David Cross (films, young) Drew Massey (video games) Amir Talai (TV series)
In-universe information
Species	Black-necked crane
Combat style	Fujian White Crane Kung Fu

Master Crane is a crane who is the most patient of the Five and one of the most sarcastic. During combat situations, especially in dangerous locations where fatal falls are possible, Crane will fly around the combat zone, surveying the area as a scout for tactical advantage as well as catching any of his comrades if they do fall. If necessary, he is strong enough to carry all of the Five in the air, but this is very taxing for him. He was the first of the Five to hold a conversation with Po, albeit it being quite awkward. Nonetheless, touched by Po's dedication and admiration of the Five led Crane to have some respect for Po.

In Secrets of the Furious Five, Crane was the janitor at the Lee Da Kung Fu Academy, where everybody looked down upon him including the strict instructor of the academy due to his particularly skinny build. However, the top student Mei Ling saw the skills which Crane used to tidy up the place every night, and convinced Crane to try out for the school. Though his nerve faltered at first, Crane accidentally wandered into the obstacle course when ordered to clean it up for the next batch of students. Demanding eligibility from prospective students and the instructor, Crane quickly found the confidence to surpass it, and passed with flying colors.[10]

In Kung Fu Panda 2, Crane is shown to be the one responsible for carrying Po around. Unlike Tigress, Viper, Monkey, and Mantis, the panda is unable to fall from great heights and land safely on his feet, so Crane basically breaks his fall when needed. He is shown to be insulted when Po and Monkey insinuate that the noise "Caw-Caw, Kee-Kee," are Crane noises, asking when he's ever made any noises like that, proving he makes these noises when he performs 'Wings of Justice' during the attempt to blockade Shen's fleet.

Legends of Awesomeness depicts Crane as a somewhat awkward member of the Furious Five given to telling boring stories and prone to various illnesses and allergies. He is also revealed to have a mother who was initially terrified by the idea of him being involved in Kung Fu-he thus grew up practicing it without her knowledge.

Species	Javan rhinoceros

Master Rhino was shown to be the leader of the Masters' Council that protects the metropolis of Gongmen City. He was strong, fast, and said to have an "impenetrable horn defense." He wielded a battle sledgehammer called the Cloud Hammer and used it easily. His father was said to be the "Legendary Master Flying Rhino." In his early adventures, he became legendary in his own right by slaying the Ten Thousand Serpents in the Valley of Woe. When he was in Gongmen City, he trained a young Ox in the art of Kung Fu. He later had an encounter with Croc, and the two of them fought where Master Rhino spared Croc (who ended up giving up his criminal ways and sided with Master Rhino).

In Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters, Master Rhino was seen in a street fight in the city of Jinzhou. He, alongside Master Ox and Master Croc, were approached by Oogway who gave them the task of stopping the Wu Sisters at Hubei Volcano. During this time, Rhino had a deep-seated need to win his father's respect. Master Rhino, Master Ox, and Master Croc managed to defeat the Wu Sisters. In the present, it was shown that Master Rhino used to wield a staff, which is now on display in the Hall of Warriors.

In Kung Fu Panda 2, he was first seen training with Master Ox and Master Croc when Lord Shen arrives telling them to leave. Master Rhino objected to this and he alongside Master Storming Ox and Master Croc ended up fighting Lord Shen. When Master Ox and Master Croc were defeated, Lord Shen's weapons were broken by Master Rhino whom he called a show-off. When Rhino warned him he was no match for Kung Fu, Shen agreed with him before revealing his great cannon weapon as he quoted "But THIS IS!" The first cannonball from the cannon is what killed Master Rhino off-screen. Master Rhino's Cloud Hammer was left mounted in the palace's center square by Lord Shen as both a warning to anyone who opposes him and as a victory trophy.

In-universe information
Species	Ox

Master Storming Ox is one of the Masters of Gongmen City and a member of the Masters' Council. He is an expert strategist whose horns can penetrate anything. When he was young, he was trained in the art of Kung Fu by Master Thundering Rhino who found him having snuck into the Royal Palace. It was mentioned by Po that he once fought two hundred rat bandits in the rice fields of the Wing Cho province.

In Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters, Master Storming Ox (alongside Master Thundering Rhino and Master Croc) were seen in a street fight in the city of Jinzhou. They were approached by Grand Master Oogway who gave them the task of stopping the Wu Sisters at Hubei Volcano. Master Thundering Rhino, Master Storming Ox, and Master Croc managed to defeat the Wu Sisters. In the present, it was shown that Master Storming Ox used to wield a sword which is now on display in the Hall of Warriors.

In Kung Fu Panda 2, he was training with Master Thundering Rhino and Master Croc. Lord Shen arrived and told them to leave. The three objected to this and ended up attacking Lord Shen only for Storming Ox and Croc to be defeated. When the Furious Five and Po travel to Gongmen City, they find him and Master Croc still alive and imprisoned in the Gongmen City Jail. However, Master Storming Ox refuses to join them saying that if he does, Lord Shen will use the Weapon on the city and kill everyone and that Kung Fu is dead. He later changes his mind and joins them for the last battle saying that "their friend (Master Shifu) is very persuasive." After Lord Shen's death at the hands of Po, and with Master Thundering Rhino dead, Master Storming Ox became the new leader of the Masters' Council, and therefore the new king of Gongmen City.

Species	Saltwater crocodile

Master Croc is one of the Masters of Gongmen City and member of the Master's Council. He is a saltwater crocodile with a spiked metal ball on the tip of his tail and extreme fighting skills both in and out of water. He was once the head of the Wool Stealing Crocodile Bandits of Crocodile Island until he crossed paths with Master Thundering Rhino. After the fight and inspired by the master sparing him, he gave up on being a bandit and eventually came to sit at Thundering Rhino's side as a member of the Masters' Council.

In Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters, Master Croc (alongside Master Thundering Rhino and Master Storming Ox) were seen in a street fight in the city of Jinzhou. They were approached by Oogway who gave them the task of stopping the Wu Sisters at Hubei Volcano. Master Thundering Rhino, Master Storming Ox, and Master Croc managed to defeat the Wu Sisters. In the present, it was shown that Master Croc used to wear a cape which is now on display in the Hall of Warriors.

In Kung Fu Panda 2, he was training with Master Thundering Rhino and Master Storming Ox. Lord Shen arrived and told them to leave. The three objected to this and ended up attacking Lord Shen only for Storming Ox and Croc to be defeated. He too gives up after being defeated by the Weapon, but unlike Master Storming Ox, is obviously less aggressive than Master Storming Ox, and visibly winces when Tigress rebuffs every single one of Po's attempts to leave the jail when she tells him to stay behind.

It is also known that Croc eventually crossed paths with Master Thundering Rhino, whose kung fu was proven superior in their battle on the shores of the Wa Su Li River. Beaten, Croc prepared himself for death, but the fatal blow never came. Thundering Rhino instead asked Croc to use his kung fu skills for doing good. Croc was so moved by Master Rhino's compassion that he immediately quit his criminal ways. He then traveled across China, following Rhino's advice to use his kung fu for good by righting wrongs and protecting the weak.

Flying Rhino is a Kung Fu Master who is the father and trainer of Thundering Rhino. He once used an armor in a bloody fight against the warriors of the Guangdong Province. Although he triumphed in that battle, his armor still bears the battle scars caused by the butterfly knives used by the lizard assassins that managed to get close to him. There was also a reference that Flying Rhino has also trained Vachir and had recommended him to Oogway to be in charge of Tai Lung's incarceration at Chorh-Gom Prison as Flying Rhino stated that Vachir was brave enough, strong enough, and ruthless enough for the job.

His armor is on display at the Jade Palace as seen in Kung Fu Panda.

Species	Green tree viper
Combat style	Snake Kung Fu

Great Master Viper is a Kung Fu Master who is the father of Master Viper and the last known leader of the Viper Clan. Not much is known about Great Master Viper's past before the birth of his daughter Viper. What is known about him according to Po is that he was the greatest known leader and warrior of the Viper Clan, as well as the sole protector of Viper's home village, highly dependent on his "Poison Fang Technique," with which he used his venomous fangs to fell his enemies. Given that his venom was deadly enough to fell fifteen gorilla warriors and a mid-sized crocodile, he quickly built up his legacy and became greatly feared by his enemies.

As is shown in Secrets of the Furious Five, Great Master Viper was shocked when Viper was born without fangs, prompting him to not pay her much attention as she grew up since he thought there was no point teaching her kung fu if she couldn't use "Poison Fang". Consequently, Viper instead took up ribbon dancing to cheer her father up. She finally got her chance to prove herself when a ferocious gorilla bandit took the precaution of wearing armour and broke Great Master Viper's fangs, with Viper then tying the bandit up with her ribbon and saving her father's life.

He appeared in the episode "Sight for Sore Eyes" where he and Master Junjie visited Shifu at the Jade Palace to determine his qualifications as Master of the Jade Palace. He, Shifu, and Junjie ended up doing their usual sparring with Po secretly watching under Junjie's request where Junjie used a Golden Lotus Clap which Shifu and Chao turned away which resulted in Po being blinded. After it was revealed that Po had watched the play after he botched up a group technique, making Shifu undo the effects of the Golden Lotus Clap, Master Chao was displeased that Po disobeyed Shifu's orders and ended up replacing Shifu with Junjie. When Chao returned to check up on Junjie, he overheard Junjie's intentions in his talk with Po and caught Junjie in the act. Po and Chao were imprisoned in the same cell as Shifu by Junjie's Furious Five. After Po freed Shifu and Chao and defeated Junjie, Chao gave Shifu his job back and commended Po for doing the right thing despite the risk, while Junjie and his Furious Five are remanded to Chorh-Gom Prison.

After the panda got the shoes off and sliced them, the shoes multiplied and possessed everyone present. Po then uses the water to neutralize the shoe's effects.

Master Yao (Chinese for "Brilliant") is a blackbuck Kung Fu Master renowned for his outstanding intellect. Shifu idolizes him and commented that Yao is known for being "the greatest Kung Fu mind this world has ever known." He was credited as the first person to unlock the mystery of the Secret Scroll at the age of 5. At age 6, he invented pruning and was one of the few people who know how an abacus works. But with a great mind came a great sacrifice. Yao spent a lifetime meditating alone with no contact to the outside world and became the keeper of the secrets of Kung Fu. In his mind, Yao holds unimaginable knowledge and the power of the universe.

Sometime later, Yao comes out of hiding to visit the Valley of Peace. After years of being cooped in constant meditation and isolated from the rest of the world, Yao was cheerful and glad to experience life again. He gets overly excited at every little thing that surrounds him because of his long cut-off from the world. Po and Shifu had to protect him when Temutai and the Qidan Clan target Yao to learn the secrets of Kung Fu. Even though his physical strengths are weak, he is able to use Kung Fu with his mind. It was with this talent that he was able to free Po and Shifu and knock the entire Qidan Clan unconscious.

The inhabitants of Muchang are very protective of him when Po takes Constable Hu's offer to bring him in. When Po finds Shengqi and fights him, Po fights him and doesn't believe his side of the story. Po catches up to Shengqi on top of the mountain and fights him again. Po still doesn't believe him until he sees half of a necklace that was on the neck of a girl (who turned out to be Xiao Niao) that attended the festival.

Po takes Shengqi to the Valley of Peace to pose as a stranded ladder salesman where Constable Hu tries to capture Shengqi.

Master Mugan (Chinese for "Wood") is a goldfish Kung Fu Master who resides at the Garnet Palace as its headmaster. She is very strict and greatly dislikes Po as she believes that he is undisciplined and was chosen by a random quirk of fate. She also secretly views her students as little more than possessions for her to do with as she will, as she stated Tigress was never allowed to leave once she joined her, which was further evidenced by the fact that the previous warrior she had trained was forced to train until he was broken physically and spiritually by her. She came to the Jade Palace in "A Tigress Tale," where she wanted to seek a new Kung Fu master to join her at the Garnet Palace, following the failure of her previous warrior Wu Yong. Tigress went with Mugan and showed off her Kung Fu talents and Mugan stated that she was a powerful warrior.

When Tigress went to acknowledge the compliment, Mugan stated that it wasn't a compliment. She informed Tigress that her focus in Kung Fu was precision, and demonstrated so by jumping out of her fish tank and using the bowls around her Kung Fu dojo to jump and eventually cut Tigress with one of her razor-sharp fins. Tigress was impressed with Mugan's skills and began her training, but could not seem to impress Mugan, as Mugan was never satisfied with anyone. When Tigress tried to leave, Mugan refused to let her go and instead imprisoned her and decided to break her, as she had with her previous student. When Po went to the Garnet Palace to see Tigress, Mugan lied to Po that she did not want to see him. Eventually, Po broke into the Garnet Palace and freed Tigress, only for them to be stopped by Mugan. Then Tigress informed Mugan that there was more to life than Kung Fu. Outraged, Mugan attacked Po and Tigress, but was defeated when Po and Wu Yong knocked all the pillars holding her water over, trapping her in the central tank.

Species	Snow leopard
Combat style	Leopard Kung Fu
Age	40+

Tai Lung (Chinese for "Great Dragon") is the main antagonist of Kung Fu Panda. He is a muscular snow leopard with supernatural strength.

Before the franchise, Tai Lung was the adoptive son and first devoted pupil of Master Shifu, who found him abandoned on the doorstep of the Jade Palace training ground and taught him skills in Kung Fu that he never shared with any other of his students, even the Furious Five. In fact, Tai Lung was the only one to know the Nerve Attack, and believed that he was destined to become the Dragon Warrior, making it his aim in life. However, as Tai Lung's fighting skills developed, his pride and thirst for power grew overwhelming due to believing that he was to become the Dragon Warrior, thus alerting Grand Master Oogway of darkness in his heart and leading him to refuse Tai Lung the title. Shocked, Tai Lung looked to Shifu for support, but the latter was too reluctant to protest. Embittered and outraged by Shifu and Oogway's perceived betrayal, Tai Lung's pride turned into corruption as he rampaged throughout the valley, taking out his rage against the villagers. He then fought his way back to the Jade Palace, seeking to take the Dragon Scroll, the item that was said to grant the chosen Dragon Warrior limitless power, by force. Shifu could not bring himself to harm his adoptive son, whereas Tai Lung felt no such hesitation and smashed aside his mentor and father figure without mercy. However, the leopard was no match for Oogway, who hit him with a lighting fast series of nerve attacks, paralyzing and defeating him. Following his defeat, Tai Lung was sent to Chorh-Gom Prison for his crimes against the valley and kept restrained by a body-device shaped like a turtle shell. Despite Tai Lung's imprisonment, this left a hole in Shifu's soul due to the fact that the love he gave Tai Lung went to waste, and as a result, he started training the Furious Five with a more harsh and critical manner.

Two decades later, when Po is chosen as the Dragon Warrior, Tai Lung escapes and confronts all the guards before sending Zeng ahead with a message. Desperate for the Dragon Scroll, he returns to the Valley, defeating the Furious Five. By the time he reaches the temple, Shifu battles him while Po is supposedly evacuating with the rest of the villagers and the Furious Five. Tai Lung unleashes all his rage and hatred during the battle and gravely wounds Shifu, whom he blames for his incarceration and failure to become the Dragon Warrior, claiming that he only wanted to make Shifu proud of him and furiously demanding to know if Shifu was satisfied with turning him into the monster he had become. It is then Shifu tells Tai Lung that he was always proud of him, too proud in fact as Shifu's pride in him blinded the master to see what his adopted son was becoming, and apologizes. Although Tai Lung's demeanor softens for a moment and he shows some concern for him, he is still only interested in gaining the Dragon Scroll. When he finally sees that it is missing, he nearly destroys Shifu until Po comes in and stops him. After a protracted battle throughout the village, he finally manages to obtain the Dragon Scroll, but his impatience causes him to not understand its symbolism: the scroll is actually a blank reflective foil, meaning the power had always been buried deep within the person. Tai Lung is ultimately defeated when Po utilizes the Wuxi Finger Hold, vanquishing the snow leopard in a brilliant flash of light.[11]

In the video game Kung Fu Panda: Legendary Warriors, Tai Lung has survived his encounter with Po and plans his revenge on him by capturing the Furious Five. He is defeated once again.

Tai Lung additionally appears at the beginning of Kung Fu Panda Holiday as part of Mr. Ping's "Noodle Dream" where he fights Po. Po states he thought Tai Lung was dead, though this statement is cut short when Tai Lung attacks him. Po ultimately defeats him once again.

In Kung Fu Panda 2, Tai Lung is seen in Po's flashback during his demonstration of inner peace.

In Kung Fu Panda 3, Po mentions that the Wuxi Finger Hold sends the opponent to the Spirit Realm which indicates that Tai Lung was sent there when he was defeated. Strangely enough, he does not appear as a "Jombie" despite Kai saying that he stole the Chi of every master there. But in a few scenes, he can be seen as a jade amulet on Kai's belt.

At the end of the Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness episode "The Kung Fu Kid," the episode's twist ending reveals that Tai Lung is the uncle of Peng who is searching for him much to Po's shock and horror. In "Master and the Panda," Peng learns that Po was responsible for what happened to Tai Lung as Po tries to tell Peng that Tai Lung was evil. When Peng ended up corrupted by the Gung Lu Medallion and started attacking, Po used the Shift Stone to transform into Tai Lung in order to get Peng to remove the medallion. Upon seeing what following his uncle's path would turn him into, Peng then retired from Kung Fu, not wanting to end up like his uncle. However, in "Kung Fu Club," Peng would be revealed to have returned to the path of Kung Fu, this time seeking to train common people to defend themselves.

Tai Lung is shown to be an exceptionally deadly fighter, able to single-handedly defeat a thousand guards in Chorh-Gom Prison, as well as the Furious Five. He is also shown to be very resourceful, for example using a feather to escape his shackles he picked up with his tail and using spears launched at him from crossbows to allow him to escape as well as using them for leverage to achieve upward mobility. He also has a special nerve attack taught to him by Shifu which completely paralyzes the victim. However, Po, being too fat for the strikes to reach the correct points, is resistant to the technique, finding it very ticklish when it was used.

Species	Indian peafowl (Leucistic)

Age	37-45+[12]

Lord Shen (Chinese for "Divinity") is the main antagonist of Kung Fu Panda 2. He is a leucistic peacock desperate to regain happiness by conquering all of China. Shen is insatiable and can be compared to a hungry ghost; as the Soothsayer says: "the cup [Shen] choose(s) to fill has no bottom".

Before the franchise, Shen was a prince of Gongmen City who became interested in the power of gunpowder, wondering if it and the technology behind fireworks could be used for warfare. This obsession worried his loving parents, who asked the Soothsayer what his future held. In response, she foretold that if he ever continued to go too far down this path, he would be stopped by "a warrior of black-and-white". Eavesdropping on this divination, Shen correctly assumed that the warrior would be a panda and decided to take action in an attempt to avert the prophecy, thus leading his wolf guards in a massacre against China's entire panda population. Upon becoming satisfied that he achieved his objective, he returned to his family palace filled with pride, but was confronted by his parents, who were horrified by his atrocity and immediately exiled him as punishment. Feeling profoundly wronged for this treatment, the peacock angrily vowed he would return one day to conquer China. Unknown to him, the seeds of his destruction were laid as Po, the apparent sole survivor of his panda massacre, was transported in a crate of radishes to the Valley of Peace, and Shen's parents became so crippled by the pain of having to banish their son that they both died of broken hearts.

Two decades later, Shen and his minions have finished building a whole arsenal of firework-smoking cannons, raiding villages to supply the refined metal required. When satisfied that he is ready for war, he marches upon Gongmen City with his wolf and gorilla armies and challenges the Masters' Council to a duel. Swiftly defeating Storming Ox and Croc, and killing Thundering Rhino with a cannon shot, Shen imprisons the demoralized remaining masters and seizes control of the city, keeping only the Soothsayer in his court for her skills. Shortly afterward, Shen's wolf army capture Po and the Furious Five trying to break into the city to stop him. Even though Shen already learned that a fat panda survived his genocide, Po seems a simpleton whose stupidity he finds mildly amusing, and didn't know about his past. However, when he tried to kill the warriors with his cannon, they broke free as arranged and destroyed the cannon, mistakenly thinking it was the only one. Taking advantage of Po's sudden flashback upon seeing his red feather markings, Shen manages to escape to a foundry where he orders a team of cannoneers to bring down the palace to kill the warriors, before they escape and later try to destroy the cannon foundry to stop production. Unfortunately, Po unintentionally interferes with the attempt when he breaks in on his own to confront the peacock about his suspicions concerning his involvement with his parents. At that, Shen falsely claims Po's parents never loved him, abandoning him to save themselves. With Po distraught, Shen arms a large cannon and seemingly kills Po by blasting him into the river.

With that, Shen eventually captures the Furious Five and plans to kill them once his fleet reached open water as a demonstration of his power. However, Po returns to confront him again, having survived the blast and being nursed back to health by the Soothsayer, gaining his inner peace. Now even more formidable, the panda frees his comrades and were joined by their fellow masters, including Storming Ox, Ferocious Croc and Shifu in a furious melee to stop the fleet's departure. Shen's increasing rage drives him to fire on his own troops to kill the masters. Eventually, he still manages to blast his opposition with the head cannon and exit the harbor. As it looks like all is lost, Po, using a piece of wreckage as an island, catches the cannonballs fired at him and redirects them at the fleet. Frustrated, Shen orders that the barrage be maintained, only to find out that he enabled the Dragon Warrior to destroy his forces with his own fired ammunition. Finally, Po is able to destroy Shen's primary cannon, severely damaging his flagship in the process. He then boards Shen's damaged flagship and confronts the worn-out Shen, who is flabbergasted as to how Po could attain such a controlled peace despite his atrocities against him, which he expected would merit revenge. Po tells him that he rejects letting his past dominate his present and pleads with the peacock to let go of his past resentments, saying that the only thing that matters now is the path he chooses. Even though Shen agreed of choosing his own path, he refused to let go of his hatred. He angrily attacks Po until the melee topples the wreckage of the cannon, causing the heavy weapon to fall on and crush the ruthless peacock that made no effort to move out of the way, killing him.

During the Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness episode "Enter the Dragon," Shen is mentioned by a villager when the villagers tell about Po's accomplishments.

In Kung Fu Panda 3, Shen is briefly seen in a flashback when Li Shan tells how he lost Po and his mother.

Despite his reliance of cannons, Shen is also a deadly fighter with blades, several of which are of different sizes he hides in his feathers. He also wears steel gauntlets with sharpened talons over his real feet and claws which he uses as a weapon, to light fuses and as a source of traction. Shen's fighting style shares similar qualities with "Cai Li Fo", a Chinese martial art that uses a metal fan for defensive and distraction purposes. These qualities are represented in the movie by Shen's use of his tail feathers and his agile, circular movements.

Lord Shen's Wolf Army

This Wolf Army are the servants of Lord Shen. These wolves once served as the Royal Guards of Gongmen City. But the only member of Gongman City's royal family ever to befriend the wolves was Shen, the heir to Gongmen City's throne. Shen fed them, played with them, and treated them like family. The pack and their leader eventually swore their allegiance to Shen.

Some remnants of Lord Shen's Wolf Army were seen in the Kung Fu Panda 2 video game where it is being led by another wolf.

Wolf Boss

In-universe information
Species	Tibetan wolf
Combat style	Wields a war maul

Wolf Boss is the secondary antagonist of Kung Fu Panda 2. He is Shen's former second-in-command who leads a Wolf Army working for Shen and sees with only one eye. He first spots Po, as well as the one to inform Shen that he is still alive. Later, Po and Wolf Boss are in combat several times at Gongmen City can be interpreted as comic relief. Both Po and the Wolf Boss get hit by the wooden signs while moving forward. He is shown to be rather savage as he attempts to kill him, despite him being an innocent baby at the time.

The symbol of Shen on his sleeve, distracts Po during the fight and triggers both Po's memories of his past and his desire to find out who he is. However, they also allow Boss Wolf an advantage, and while Po is distracted he often runs away or knocks the panda down. Unlike Shen, Wolf Boss is never shown to be completely evil. Despite being a wolf, he seems to be almost puppy-like at times—talking too much, making Lord Shen angry with his comments and whimpering when his toe is stomped. Also, despite his enmity and conflicts with Po, Wolf Boss does acknowledge him to be a true kung fu warrior, stating to Shen that Po fought 'like a demon' during their battles in the Valley and Gongmen City. Also, Wolf Boss obviously cares for his pack a lot, sharing a code of honor towards them. During the final battle, Lord Shen orders Wolf Boss to fire the Weapon at Po, but he is hesitant as doing so would kill many of his own pack too. However, Shen doesn't care and still orders Wolf Boss to fire the cannon. Outraged at his master's callous disregard for his pack, Wolf Boss ultimately refuses. Shen responds by quickly throwing five daggers to kill Wolf Boss and fires the Weapon himself.

In the early stages of the first sequel, he was originally going to be a crow, but he was scrapped and changed into a wolf instead possibly because he looked too similar to Shen.

Lord Shen's Gorilla Army

This Gorilla Army are servants of Lord Shen and act as the brute strength of his army.

Kai

Kai
Kung Fu Panda 3 character
Voiced by	J. K. Simmons
In-universe information
Species	Chinese Black Pied cattle
Combat Style	Supernatural abilities

Kai (Chinese for "Victory" or "Open") is the main antagonist of Kung Fu Panda 3. He is the self-proclaimed supreme warlord of all China, with titles such as Jade Slayer, Master of Pain, Beast of Vengeance and Maker of Widows.

Before the franchise, Kai was a brother-in-arms to Grand Master Oogway, who he fought alongside as fellow general in a great army. One day, Oogway was badly wounded in an ambush made by the enemy army. Kai carried his friend for days looking for help until they reached the Secret Panda Village, where the pandas used their knowledge of chi to heal the injured master. As the pandas taught Oogway how to use chi, Kai got power-hungry and plotted to increase his powers with it. He used the pandas' teachings to develop the power to take chi from others rather than give it. This forced Oogway to banished him to the Spirit Realm for all eternity. But Oogway knew that Kai would one day return to the mortal world and seek to collect the chi from every kung fu mastery. To prevent this, Oogway foretold that only the Dragon Warrior would be sent on such path to become a true master of chi-giving, hoping that the warrior would put a stop to the chi-taking.

Five centuries later, Kai had finished collecting the chi of every Kung Fu master who ended up in the Spirit Realm, challenging each to a duel for them. When satisfied that he had enough to overpower his old friend, he challenged Oogway to a rematch and managed to add his chi to his collection. Before giving in to Kai, Oogway warned him that he had set Po on the path to defeat him. Using Oogway's chi, Kai returned to the Mortal World to hunt down Po and the Furious Five, sending several of his Jombies to find them. When their task was completed, he began hunting down and stealing the chi of every Kung Fu Master in China. This caused Master Shifu to send Crane and Mantis to investigate. With the aid of Masters Bear, Chicken and Croc, the chosen duo confronted Kai in a shipwreck and were defeated when he had their chi. Kai then attacked the Jade Palace for the rest of the Five's chi and destroyed it along with the Valley of Peace, but Tigress evaded getting her chi taken and escaped upon Shifu's orders to warn Po that Kai was coming for him. By the time he arrived at the Secret Panda Village, Kai unleashed his Jombies on the pandas while Po fought with him. Since the Wuxi Finger Hold didn't work on Spirit Warriors, Po had to use the move on himself ito get himself and Kai into the Spirit Realm, where the hateful yak was overloaded with chi, triggering a spiritual explosion and freeing the Kung Fu Masters whose chi he took.

Jombies

The Jombies are Kai's jade minions in Kung Fu Panda 3, created from the Chi of Masters Porcupine, Gorilla, Boar(s), Croc, Bear, Chicken, and later Shifu, as well as the Badger Twins and most of the Furious Five (except Tigress); it is also implied that Masters Oogway, Frog, Komodo Dragon, Goat, Crab, Rhino, Hippo, Elephant, Lizard, Ox, Eagle and even Tai Lung also met this fate.

Species	Snow leopard
Combat style	Leopard Kung-fu

A trio of villainous snow leopard sisters who work together to terrorize China, steal, and defeat their enemies. They consist of Su Wu, their leader, who has a gold right eye and left cyan eye (possibly blind); Wing Wu, and Wan Wu.

In Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters, the trio were at one point imprisoned but managed to escape and set out to unite the various crime families of China in order to conquer the country. This prompted Oogway to form an alliance with unlikely future Kung fu masters Thundering Rhino, Storming Ox, and Croc in order to defeat them.

They also appeared in two video games: in Kung Fu Panda: The Game as an enemy team and in Legendary Warriors as minions of Tai Lung. The trio also appear in the series from Titan Comics; in one story they infiltrate the Jade Palace but are defeated by Po and Tigress.

Combat Style	Unspecified

Boar was an enormous anthropomorphic wild boar that appeared in Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll and starred as its main antagonist.

Boar was a terrifying Kung Fu warrior that terrorized a vast swathe of China. He attacked many villages and defeated many powerful Kung Fu masters, to the point where he was deemed unstoppable and invincible. When word spread that he intended to defeat Shifu and attack the Valley of Peace, Shifu intended to stop him, but was thwarted from this due to accidentally being poisoned by the food Po had made for him. Tigress faced Boar in his place, masquerading as Shifu. Boar initially gained the upper hand in their fight, as her mimicry of Shifu's style was no match for Boar, but when Mantis, Crane, Viper and Monkey intervened and came to her aid, Tigress gave up Shifu's style of Kung Fu to use her own, and the five quickly gained the upper hand against Boar, swiftly defeating him and putting an end to his rampage. Boar was also the catalyst for the formation of the Furious Five, and their defeat of the villain in turn inspired Po's love of Kung Fu, leading to his eventual destiny as the Dragon Warrior.

Kuo

Kuo (Chinese for "Vast") is the main antagonist of the Kung Fu Panda comic "Art of Balance" by Ape Entertainment.

In the comic, Po first meets Kuo while heading for Mr. Ping's restaurant, where Kuo then claims to be a big fan of Mr. Ping as well as expressing interest in working in his restaurant. Po and Mr. Ping hire Kuo where he shows great skill with cooking knives. He then ask what the secret is to his recipes, only to be stone-walled by the goose chef. Kuo later on searches through Mr. Ping's recipes, but is then caught by Mr. Ping himself. Kuo then threatens him with his knives and holds him hostage. When Po returns later that night, he finds his father tied up on the front counter. Po asks Kuo what he's doing and why, the deranged antelope says that he once owned a restaurant himself but was driven out of business because customers always went to Mr. Ping's instead of his own; he then says that he has debts owed to criminals. He blames Mr. Ping for making him a failure, but Po tells him that he isn't a failure but instead lost his balance. Yet instead of regaining his balance, he let his imbalance control his life. Engraged, Kuo then throws numerous knives at Po, but the panda (remembering his lessons from Master Shifu) leaps on top of the knives and kicks Kuo in the chest. While Po checks on his father, Kuo tries to flee the scene only to be intercepted by Master Shifu and is knocked out. He is presumably sent to Chorh-Gom Prison afterwards.

Qinchu

Qinchu
Special Delivery character
In-universe information
Species	Tibetan sand fox
Combat style	Unspecified

Qinchu (Chinese for "Clear") is the main antagonist of the Kung Fu Panda comic "Special Delivery." Qinchu was presumably the self-elected official of Mount Penglai.

In the comic, he confronted Po after the panda stowed away in a mail cart carried by Qinchu's crow minions. Po found himself in a palace surrounded by similar carts full of undelivered mail, and upon discovering him, Qinchu told the panda he was trespassing. Though Po tried to explain his reasons for being there, the fox would hear none of it, declaring that he had worked hard to create order in the city by keeping outsiders out and residents in. With that, he ordered his crows to throw the panda out, and Po was tossed down Mount Penglai. When he awoke from the painful fall, Po met the former official and his son who had similarly been thrown down Mount Penglai. Po learned about Qinchu's takeover of the city as well as his goal to find the key to Mount Penglai, which was the reason for the hijacking of so many mail carts, as the key was always passed from one location to another so none could ever know its exact whereabouts. In his quest for a 'paradise' of order and organization, Qinchu aimed to use the key to lock the gates and isolate the city. After hearing this, Po took action and crashed through the roof of the palace. He faced Qinchu in a showy display, and the fox stood before him unimpressed. After some back-and-forth banter, the two engaged in combat. This resulted in Po kicking Qinchu and throwing him down, where he then trapped the fox in a roll of carpet. He then told Qinchu it was about time he meet his 'public', with the palace door opening to reveal many angry citizens of Mount Penglai including the former-official and his son. They took Qinchu and carried him away, resolving to have him thrown down the mountain.

The Five Elements Imposters

The Five Elements Imposters are the main antagonists of the Kung Fu Panda comic "It's Elemental." It was foretold that the Five Elements would one day take physical forms and become the ultimate protectors of the world. Five warriors masqueraded as the physical forms of Earth, Fire, Water, Metal, and Wood while using concealed weapons that corresponded with each element. When the charade was discovered by Po, the Furious Five joined Po in fighting these imposters until only Earth was left standing. With the imposters tied up, Po and the Furious Five uncovered how the group had made their "powers" using sesame oil and hidden containers.

Species	Mutated Fattail scorpion
Combat style	Unspecified

Scorpion is a villain in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness.

Long before the franchise, Scorpion was once the Valley of Peace's best healer, skilled with the expertise of using medical herbs and experimental flowers that grew in the Valley's rich soil as cures for various sicknesses, such as the use of sun orchards as the cure for river-fever. One day, she stumbled upon a hypnosis potion and injected herself with it, poisoning her body and mind. She had the villagers under her spell until it was broken by Grand Master Oogway. Scorpion was exiled from the Valley of Peace, but stole the last sun orchid, which can be used to cure river fever. Many years later, Scorpion discovers Po and Monkey in her lair looking for the sun orchid in order to cure Tigress' river fever. She manages to capture Monkey and sting him with her hypnosis potion and then sent him to destroy Po. Upon making it into Scorpion's lair, Po tries to get in as Scorpion ends up throwing Monkey a sword. Po soon discovers that Monkey is under Scorpion's control. When Monkey comes into Scorpion's lair with an apparently defeated Po, Scorpion discovers that Po faked his death and broke her control over Monkey. Scorpion ends up attacking them and tries to sting Monkey until Po grabs her tail. Po and Monkey managed to send Scorpion into the wall tail first, trap Scorpion with their trick sneezes, and claim the sun orchid.

In "Love Stings," Scorpion gets Mr. Ping to fall in love with her because it is revealed that she also can cook. However, this is only as part of her revenge on Po and the Valley of Peace. She was using Mr. Ping because he is the person who is responsible for the Moon cakes for the Moon Cake Festival where all the members of the Valley of Peace will eat Moon cakes. Therefore, Scorpion with the help of Mr. Ping who loves her bakes the Moon cakes but she adds poison into them that renders the whole population into a dizzy-like state. However Po is able to battle her and defeat her. After Mr. Ping finds out about the treachery, he says they should see other people.

In "The Most Dangerous Po," Scorpion is among the villains that were hunted by General Tsin and subjected to stiffening Zu Chao Powder. She is later rescued by Po, but escapes upon being repelled by Po.

Croc Bandits

The Croc Bandits are a group of crocodiles who are the recurring but rather ineffectual antagonists in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. Although their group was never referred to by an official name by its members, Po, Master Shifu, and the Furious Five often referred to them as Croc Bandits.

Fung

Species	Mugger crocodile
Combat style	Unspecified

Fung is the leader of an unnamed group of Crocodile Bandits as seen in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. Fung most often relies on weapons to fight his opponents, but has shown he knows some Kung Fu techniques, mostly in cases of defense. His family apparently makes terracotta warriors as it was once mentioned by Fung that he accidentally got a terracotta soldier glued onto his father's face with its removal leaving his father with a mustache on one side of his face.

In "Good Croc, Bad Croc," Fung saves Po from a pitfall and required a favor from Po later on. When it came to the favor, Po had to meet with Fung alone where Fung mentions that Jong Sung Jai Kai Chow had captured his brother. Po and Fung had to infiltrate Jong's castle with Po having to pull off a diversion. When Po runs into Fung, he states that he has his brother in a box as both of them flee. When Po returned to the Jade Palace, Master Shifu was waiting with two of Jong's guards. When Master Shifu hears from Po that he was only helping Fung rescue his brother from Jong, Master Shifu states that Fung doesn't have a brother and that the person he helped him abduct was Jong's son. Fung later meets up with the other bandits where he learns that Po had been apprehended by Jong's guards. Fung feels remorse for what had happened to Po and decides to return the box containing Jong's son. Upon Fung entering Jong's torture room disguised as a water buffalo guard, Fung freed Po and gave Jong his son back. Yet Po and Fung had to escape from Jong's palace when even Jong's son wants them severely dealt with.

In "Kung Fu Day Care," it was revealed that Fung had a younger cousin named Lidong who assisted him in the Croc Bandit's plot to capture Prince Zan and steal him back when Prince Zan ends up in the protective custody of Po and Tigress. In "The Most Dangerous Po," Fung is among the villains that were hunted by General Tsin and subjected to stiffening Zu Chao Powder. He is later rescued by Po, but escapes upon being repelled by Po. In "Enter the Dragon," he and his bandits were conscripted into serving the demon Ke-Pa, but not long after were captured by the Furious Five again upon his defeat at the hands of Po. "Terror Cotta" would see Fung temporarily give up being a bandit after yet another defeat at Po's hands and rejoin his father in the craft of making terra cotta warriors. Upon discovering his father's lost formula for bringing them to life, Fung returned to his bandit path briefly before being bullied by his father into creating an army so that they could conquer China. In the course of the ensuing battle with Po and Fung's old gang, who were serving as a backup Furious Five, it came out that Fung's father had lost the formula when he had spent years blaming it on an assistant who never really existed. After his father admitted that his own failures had led to his mistreatment of Fung, Fung realized that he had projected similar frustration on his gang members, who forgave and rejoined him-even though it meant going to prison.

In "Huge," Fung and his gang would return and seek to gain greater power through a magical growth potion, only to be halted by a jealous Lidong who was intent on retaining his size advantage over everyone. "The Break Up" saw Gahri temporarily resign from Fung's gang due to Fung's mistreatment of him, but Fung and Po teamed up to try to get Gahri back and Gahri later realized that he preferred being a bandit-though he wanted Fung to work on his temper. In "Croc You Like a Hurricane," Fung and his bandits had gained such a reputation for ineptitude that even the townspeople didn't take them seriously anymore. They were then approached by Shifu and trained in the art of Kung Fu, which they ended up using to help people out. As part of an effort to get the Furious Five and Po to take training more seriously, the Croc Bandits were revealed to have been trained as the heroes' replacements. Unfortunately, Fung and his cohorts turned to using their position for their own benefit, and became complacent about keeping up their training to stay in shape. They were thus defeated in a battle with the heroes, and Shifu then revealed the truth behind his ruse. In "Apocalypse Yao," Fung and Gahri were part of a group of villains who gathered to bid on Kung Fu secrets stolen from Master Yao by Taotie, but were defeated despite gaining two of the secrets for their own use.

Gahri is a member of the Crocodile Bandits from Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. Fung frequently calls him "Gary," which Gahri gently corrects. Gahri is shown to be clumsy, apologetic, and often says that he has to go to the bathroom. In combat, Gahri is shown to be skilled in wielding various weapons including an axe.

In "The Most Dangerous Po," Gahri is among the villains that were hunted by General Tsin and subjected to stiffening Zu Chao Powder. He is later rescued by Po, but escapes upon being repelled by Po. Most other episodes feature him in a rather minor role, often frustrating Fung with his good grammar and manners. In "The Break Up," the two get into a fight after Fung once again demonstrates his incompetence as a bandit leader and Gahri irritates Fung with his manners, intelligence, and interests unlikely for a bandit. This leads to Gahri leaving the Croc Bandits and working at Mr. Ping's Noodle Shop, where he proves such an asset that Mr. Ping wants to adopt him. Fung and Po then join forces to get him fired-Fung wanting Gahri back as his right-hand man and Po wanting the crocodile out of his life-but Gahri ends up leaving of his own accord after tricking Constable Hu into thinking that Po and Fung hadn't committed an actual crime.

Lidong is Fung's younger cousin. He helped his cousin Fung and his Croc Bandits to capture Prince Zan from Po and the Furious Five for a share they would get from the ransom. He is a giant crocodile and is skilled in Kung Fu where he used his strength in combat against Tigress. Lidong eventually betrayed Fung and his Croc Bandits because he viewed his cousin and his group as losers. He was defeated by Tigress at the end of the episode.

In "The Midnight Stranger," the pig criminals that manipulated Constable Hu into banning Kung Fu enlisted Lidong to fight the Midnight Stranger. When it was discovered that Po was masquerading as the Midnight Stranger, Lidong attacked Po. Lidong and the pig criminals were defeated by Po and Constable Hu.

The episode "Huge" revealed that Lidong was a runt of a crocodile in his youth and was thus teased and tormented by others until hitting his fairly impressive growth spurt. As such, he is immensely proud of his size, and the idea of anyone surpassing him in this area is enough to enrage him and turn him against the other Croc Bandits. He attacked Mantis after the latter used a magic potion to grow even larger than him, and refused to allow Fung and the other crocodiles to partake of the potion. He instead drank some himself, attacking the village and later battling Mantis after the master consumed even more potion to try and match Lidong in a battle of giants. However, Mantis recognized his folly and drank an antidote that restored him to normal size, and then went down Lidong's throat to attack him from the inside. He also dumped out the rest of the antidote inside Lidong's stomach, causing Lidong to shrink down to a fraction of his original size.

While Lidong is stated as a mugger crocodile, his long snout gives him a close resemblance to a gharial or a false gharial.

Qidan Clan

The Qidan Clan are a group of water buffalo warriors that have fought Po and the Furious Five on different occasions. They were also known to have fought against the Emperor's army in the past.

Temutai is the Warrior-King of the Qidan Clan. He has claimed to have beaten every Kung Fu Master in the land. Master Tigress mentioned that his Kung Fu was strong enough to rip his opponents in half without even touching them. He has a habit of yelling the last word in each of his sentences.

He first appeared in "The Princess and the Po" where Po, Master Tigress, and Master Mantis had to bring Princess Mei Li to him in order to achieve peace between the Qidan Clan and Princess Mei Li's kingdom. Once a princess is given to Temutai, she ends up becoming his servant. When Po didn't want Temutai to get Princess Mei Li, he offered to challenge him to a fight to determine the fate of Princess Mei Li. When none of Po's moves can faze Temutai, Po gets an idea from Princess Mei Li and uses the same moves that she used on him to take down Temutai. Temutai admitted defeat and ensured peace between Mei Li's people and the Qidan. As a last act, he had rice balls prepared for Po and the others when they left as per their request.

In "Owl Be Back," Po found Temutai and his warriors fighting the Furious Five in the Jade Palace. This time, Po was fast enough to evade Temutai's attacks. Po manages to use the Thundering Wind Hammer to send Temutai flying into the mountainside. Temutai shouted to Po to declare that fight a draw.

In "The Kung Fu Kid," Temutai and his Qidan Clan are invited to a Peace Jubilee. Temutai enters his nephew Jing Mei into the children Kung Fu competition where he fights a Kung Fu prodigy named Peng. Temutai was not pleased that his nephew was defeated by Peng. Temutai wants to have Peng to train with the Qidan Clan opposed to Po wanting Peng to train at the Jade Palace. Po's argument with Temutai ends up disrupting the Peace Jubilee causing Master Shifu to break it up. Temutai gets angered at the fact that Peng wants to train with Po. After Po tells Peng that he is no longer needed, Peng decides to prove himself by destroying Temutai. Peng ends up fighting Temutai until Po arrived where their fight ends up causing the crowd to get out of control. Po manages to break up the fight upon telling Peng the truth. Po then does the ceremonial Tai Chi with Peng and Temutai.

In "My Favorite Yao," Temutai and his Qidan troops set out to capture Master Yao to interrogate him for his secrets. The abduction proved easier than anticipated owing to Yao, being impulsively released from his box by Shifu, began to run amok through the village with childish delight at all the sensations he denied himself for 65 years. However, the goat refused to cooperate and found even death threats an entertaining novelty. Eventually, Shifu and Po managed to rescue him with his help of his magic to stun Temutai and his troops into stillness.

In the episode "In With the Old," Temutai and his Qidan troops took advantage of the Furious Five's absence for a training session to invade the Jade Palace and capture Shifu in an inescapable death trap in order to force him to surrender the Helmet of the Invincible Thunder Kick. Shifu refused and Temutai searched the Palace himself. Meanwhile, Po liberated the Palace with the help of Mr. Ping and the elderly but still formidable masters Mrs. Gow and Mr. Yeung. Eventually, Po found Temutai, but was unable to stop him from entering the storage room which had a wide variety of magic helmets. The warriors raced to search for the desired helmet, but Temutai was the one who eventually gained it. However, Po managed to defeat Temutai by tossing the Helmet of Your Own Worst Enemy on top of the Helmet of the Invincible Thunder Kick and Temutai was magically compelled to kick himself out of the Palace and out of the area in defeat.

In "The Most Dangerous Po," Temutai is pursued and chased by the minions of General Tsin. Temutai is then subjected to stiffening Zu Chao Powder. He is later rescued by Po, but escapes upon being repelled by Po.

In "Master and the Panda," Temutai and the Qidan Clan unearth the Gong Lu Medallion, which grants him more power as he plots to conquer China and the Moon. Temutai then attacks the Jade Palace and takes out Master Shifu and the Furious Five. Po even tries to fight Temutai only to be sent flying out of the Jade Palace. Po returns and fights Temutai in order to get the Gong Lu Medallion off him. Peng joins the fight and removes the Gong Lu Medallion from Temutai. Po and Peng then send Temutai flying out of the Jade Palace.

In "Invitation Only," Po fights Temutai and makes him get away upon hearing the gong for lunch. Temutai later plans to crash the banquet of Upper Head District Chief Superior Superintendent Chang. Temutai is told by his Qidan warriors that he wasn't invited to the banquet. Temutai learns that Po wasn't also invited and plans to crash the banquet. Temutai has his soldiers surround the building where the banquet is being held. Temutai then begins his attack on the banquet and immobilizes the Furious Five and Master Shifu with the bolos thrown by the Qidan warriors. When Po sneaks into the party, he runs into Temutai and attacks the Qidan warriors with Kung Fu, good manners, and etiquette. Po managed to defeat Temutai which impressed Superintendent Chang enough to invite Po to the banquet.

In "Mouth Off," Temutai comes to the Valley of Peace and demands that Po apologize to him, but Po is unable to do so on account of paralyzing his own vocal chords. When he finally regains the power of speech and apologies, Temutai is still furious, but is defeated by a new move Po has mastered through his experience with silence. He accepts Po's apologies and leaves.

He had a disagreement with Master Shifu and Grand Master Oogway about having machines surpass Kung Fu. Taotie left and vowed to get revenge on Master Shifu one day. Many years later in the episode "Sticky Situation," Po ended up seeking out Taotie to repair the training hall that he accidentally broke. Behind Po's back, Taotie reassembled the parts of the training hall into a machine that he uses in his revenge plot on Master Shifu. After the Furious Five were defeated, only Master Shifu was left and Po saved him by clogging the gears of Taotie's machine enough for it to break. Taotie managed to get away.

In "Fluttering Finger Mindslip," Taotie discovers that the Furious Five have lost their memory after being exposed to Po's move. While Po and Master Shifu are away, Taotie took the opportunity to use this to his advantage by having them attack Master Shifu and Po upon their return.

In "Big Bro Po," Taotie uses his new Iron Claws of Doom harness to attack Po and the Furious Five. Taotie's Iron Claws of Doom fails when Bian Zao fails to lubricate the claws. Taotie is defeated and is taken away to Chorh-Gom Prison leaving Bian Zao alone. Taotie is later visited by Po and Bian Zao who states that his father's plans take up most of the time together.

When Bian Zao is unable to make the visit to Chorh-Gom Prison, Po ends up making the deliveriy to Taotie's cell not knowing that the final component of the Iron Claws of Doom is in it. With the Iron Claws of Doom rebuilt and lubricated, Taotie escapes from Chorh-Gom Prison. Taotie ends up attacking the Jade Palace stating to Bian Zao that they will do a sporting activity afterwards. After firing the chains at the Furious Five and Master Shifu, Taotie ends up fighting Po.

In "The Most Dangerous Po," Taotie is among the villains that were hunted by General Tsin and subjected to stiffening Zu Chao Powder.

Bian Zao later turns to Po to get Taotie back to normal. Taotie ends up seeing the light and Po plans to make Taotie a good guy by having him make crime-fighting gadgets while having some special nunchucks made for Po. When the Furious Five arrive, Taotie ends up showing off the special nunchucks as Po states that Taotie has changed. Taotie commented that his old friend Goatie, his parents, and the Cart Wash Manager turned against him. When the Furious Five leave vowing to come after Taotie if he hasn't changed, Po states to Taotie that he can have Taotie make weapons for the Furious Five with Po secretly taking measurements of the Furious Five. Po comments that Taotie can make the best crime-fighting assistant to the Furious Five. After Po leaves upon handing him the measurements of the Furious Five for the weapons needed to fit the Furious Five's talents, Taotie ends up snapping out of his good side as the measurements to make a machine. The next day, Taotie attacks Po and the Furious Five with the Adapto-Bot, which can copy their abilities. Taotie's Adapto-Bot receives a magnifying glass from Po through Bian Zao and ends up using it to distract the Adapto-Bot while Po uses his nunchucks to throw the Adapto-Bot off balance and then destroys it. Po thanks Taotie for helping him out as he quotes "What are Friends For." Yet Taotie and Bian Zao end up returned to Chorh-Gom Prison as Taotie works on the designs of his next invention to use on Po.

In "The Maltese Mantis," Taotie and Bian Zao were attending the Festival of Figurines where they are unpacking the figurines of Taotie's inventions. Though Bian Zao was very doubtful that people would buy figurines of his father, Taotie was confident that he would make a fortune once the fans saw the power of his figurines Bian Zao eventually asked his father for some money so he could go and buy something that wasn't "lame." Bian Zao would eventually discover the paralyzed Mantis and became intrigued when he spotted the "figure's" eyes moving. Po and Master Shifu learned from Bian Zao about where they can find Taotie. Po and Master Shifu confronted Taotie who refused to give Mantis up...especially after Po unwisely revealed that Mantis would become permanently paralyzed in a matter of minutes. Taotie then attempts to make a break for it only for the skirmish between him, Po, and Master Shifu to make it onto the nearest stage. With help from the festival attendees, Po and Master Shifu cornered Taotie who ended up being beaten up by the attendees while Bian Zao gives Master Mantis back to Po and Master Shifu. While Master Shifu undoes the paralysis on Master Mantis, Bian Zao carried his beaten-up father away.

Taotie returned in "A Thousand and Twenty Questions," in which he approached Master Yao after failing to make his Sphere of Unerringly Accurate Acu-Pressure function properly. After doing so, he used the sphere to force Po, Shifu, and all the members of the Furious Five except Tigress act like puppets, but was defeated after Tigress approached Yao for a means of destroying the weapon. In "Apocalypse Yao," he created a machine capable of extracting information from the minds of others and turning it into cookies which, upon consumption, would grant that knowledge to the eater. He and Bian Zao used this to steal Master Yao's five greatest Kung Fu secrets, which they then endeavored to sell to the highest bidder. Taotie briefly employed one of the secrets himself, but later became repulsed with himself for employing Kung Fu when he had dedicated his life to proving the superiority of technology.

Before Tong Fo was incarcerated, he made a replica of the hammer and hid the real one in Camelback Mountain keeping its whereabouts a secret with the fake copy eventually finding its way at the Jade Palace. Po used the Shift Stone to assume the form of a goat criminal named Sheng in order to infiltrate Chorh-Gom Prison. Po got information from Tong Fo on where the real Sacred Hammer of Lei Lang was located. Tong Fo planned to break out of prison with the help of Fung and his Croc Bandits. Tong Fo learned that Sheng was actually Po in disguise and managed to trap Po in a cell and steal his Shift Stone which he used to disguise himself as a Chorh-Gom Guard and walk out of Chorh-Gom Prison. Arriving at Camelback Mountain, Tong Fo ran into Po as Master Tigress and Master Monkey arrived unaware that Sheng is actually Po in disguise. Tong Fo managed to obtain the Sacred Hammer of Lei Lang as the Croc Bandits arrived. In the ensuing conflict, the Sacred Hammer of Lei Lang was taken by a Croc Bandit that was actually Master Shifu in disguise. Tong Fo and the Croc Bandits were defeated.

In "Father Crime," Tong Fo enlisted Fung and his Croc Bandits in a plot to capture Master Shifu.

Fenghuang became the strongest member of the Furious Five through a lot of training and even invented the Thundering Wind Hammer. As a result of being the strongest, she became power-hungry and evil. One day, Fenghuang decided she deserved to rule the Jade Palace instead of Grand Master Oogway, believing herself to be more powerful than him. She challenged Oogway to a fight for the Palace; Oogway anticipated this and had an owl-shaped cage built for this occasion. After a long and fierce fight, Fenghuang knew that she could not defeat Oogway and fled before she could be captured, taking refuge in the Northern Mountains.

Many years later, in "Owl Be Back," Po ended up in the Northern Mountains and ended up caught by Fenghuang when he was falling. When Fenghuang learns that Grand Master Oogway is dead, she flies off to the Jade Palace. Master Shifu and the Furious Five face her, but she easily defeats them. When Po returns, she convinces him to turn evil and orders him to kill Shifu. Po uses a trick knife to fool Fenghuang into thinking that he had actually killed Master Shifu and then placed Fenghuang into the owl-shaped cage. As Fenghuang's cage is being towed away to Chorh-Gom Prison, she vows to escape and have her revenge on Po.

In "Crane on a Wire," Fenghuang crashes Po's Furious Five auction where she attacks Po and the Furious Five which resulted in Master Crane getting stuck in the wall. When Po discovered that Fenghuang's talons can't shred iron, Po and the other Furious Five were able to use the iron objects to break Fenghuang's talons. Fenghuang retreated with a broken wing. Upon news that Fenghuang is at the nearby mountains, Po and the Furious Five had to go confront her without Master Crane. Po and four of the Furious Five had a hard time fighting Fenghuang. After some encouragement from Zeng, Master Crane caught up with Po and helped to fight Fenghuang. Master Crane fought with Fenghuang in the sky over the village which ended with Master Crane and Po causing Fenghuang to crash to the ground in defeat.

In "A Stitch in Time," Fenghuang finds out about the Shuyong seeds that Po had found and steals some of them in order to learn some time-based moves. Upon managing to steal them and grow her own Shuyong seeds, Fenghuang started going back in time to prevent the birth of Master Shifu and the Furious Five. When she planned to go back in time to prevent Po's birth, Po grabbed onto Fenghuang with the resulting battle causing the Shuyong seeds to fall and send both of them back to the beginning of time where they find themselves before the Shuyong Tree. Upon the Shuyong Tree judging Po and Fenghuang even after they bested the Shuyong Tree's guardians, the Shuyong Tree deemed Po worthy of using its fruit and the Shuyong Tree used its powers to send Fenghuang into oblivion. Afterwards, Po restored time to the way it was and burned the Shuyong seeds except for one that he didn't notice.

Fenghuag later returned in "The First Five" when her former teammates came together for a reunion at Po's invitation. It is revealed that prior to her departure from the group they defeated the demon Xi'an, but Shifu dropped the demon's mighty sword into the volcano before they could claim it. When the sword reappears years later, Fenghuang is released from prison-though manacled-by her former teammates to help them recover it in exchange for her freedom. Fenghuang later destroys the sword, and is freed after Po convinces the former Five to honor their agreement.

Junjie plotted and succeeded into removing Master Shifu from his position by tricking Po into watching him and Shifu spar and use the Golden Lotus Clap, a move that renders the target blind. Junjie then fired the Furious Five and replaced them with a team of snow leopards. Because of this, the Furious Five turned their backs on Po. It was later revealed that Junjie had imprisoned Shifu and later did the same thing to Chao. While his Furious Five fought the actual Furious Five, Master Junjie fought against Master Po and was defeated.

It can also be implied that Junjie was also ousted from the Sacred Onyx Council for his actions.

In "Ghost of Oogway," Master Junjie posed as the ghost of Oogway in order to fool Master Po into letting his guard down by doing nothing in combat training and turn him and Shifu against each other. Once Po and Shifu were out of the palace, Junjie used his disguise to enter the Jade Palace and subdued the Furious Five. When Po returned, he found the Furious Five tied up as Junjie sheds his disguise. Junjie then unleashes his henchmen on Po. Things weren't looking good for the panda, but in the nick of time, Master Shifu arrived and fooled Junjie by assuming the form of Oogway. While the Furious Five fought Master Junjie's henchmen, Master Po managed to successfully use the Tae Bow Chow to knock out Master Junjie. Junjie later returned in "Bride of Po," kidnapping the brother of a young goat maiden to force her into a marriage with Po intended to bring an end to Po's status as the Dragon Warrior so that Junjie could take over the Jade Palace. This plan was thwarted, however, and Po saved both siblings from Junjie and defeated him.

In "Crazy Little Ling Called Love," it was revealed that Shifu's ex-girlfriend Mei Ling attempted to steal from Junjie but was captured, and Junjie threatened to kill her and Shifu unless she stole the Crown of Heaven for him. This was later discovered by Po, who convinced Mei Ling to go along with the plan. After Junjie and his forces were defeated, he and Mei Ling were both sent to prison, the latter to pay her debt to society so that she could eventually be reunited with Shifu.

Meng Tao is the diplomat of the Emperor of China. He accompanied the Emperor's grandson Lu Kang to the Kung Fu camp where Master Shifu and the Furious Five were counseling. Meng Tao left Lu Kang to Master Shifu and the Furious Five in order to learn Kung Fu. When Po, the Dragon Warrior and master in charge of Lu Kang's training, rashly makes a vow to fully train Lu Kang, Meng Tao informs him that breaking that vow would result in beheading for every master of the Jade Palace. Meng Tao then left the horrified masters to continue with training. Unknown to all, Meng Tao actually wanted Lu Kang to fail as failure would bring great disgrace to the Emperor forcing him to give Meng Tao the throne. When Meng Tao learned that Po had successfully trained Lu Kang, Meng Tao went to Chorh-Gom Prison and made a deal with Hundun where he offered Hundun his freedom in exchange for helping Lu Kang to fail. While Hundun incapacitated Po at the Pool of Sacred Tears, Meng Tao drew a pair of blades and attempted to murder Lu Kang squashing Lu Kang's bean pod in the process. At first, Lu Kang fell into despair. But when Po revealed that the bean pod he gave him was not magical and that Lu Kang had in fact done all his skills himself, Lu Kang regained the confidence to utilize the unorthodox techniques he had developed while training to ultimately defeat both Meng Tao and Hundun in combat. Meng Tao and Hundun were then remanded to Chorh-Gom Prison.

Species	Yak

General Tsin is a character that is exclusive to Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. Once a well-known war hero throughout all of China, Tsin was forced into retirement after eliminating all of the country's villainous threats and became one of the Jade Palace's benefactors. The transition of all the threats eventually took its toll on his mind throughout the years.

As a result, he began a new hobby of "hunting and collecting" villains around the Valley of Peace where he subjected his victims to stiffening Zu Chao Powder. Some of his targets include Scorpion, Temutai, Fung, Gahri, Jing Mei, Taotie, and Bao.

When Po is invited to General Tsin's palace, he ends up taking part in a villain-stopping expedition, with Po unaware of Tsin's motives. This involved Tsin hunting his latest target Hundun. Po fought with Hundun while trying to warn him only for Tsin to defeat Hundun and add him to his collection, in which Po believes this to be wrong. When Po started to question Tsin's motives and mentality, Tsin ended up hunting Po. Po managed to evade Tsin, but doubled back following a vision revolving around Hundun speaking to him. During the fight with Po in his collection room, Tsin trapped Po in the Zu Chao Powder chamber where it was discovered that Po had reversed the powder's effects freeing the villains who then vowed to have General Tsin pay for what he did to them and they begin attacking him. Tsin fought the villains and proves to be more of a match to them until they start to win and are then repelled by Po. Although Tsin is sent to Chorh-Gom Prison, Shifu wasn't pleased that one of the Jade Palace's benefactors ended up incarcerated because of his actions. Po then states that now they can go after the villains that escaped from Tsin's palace.

In "Qilin Time," Tsin was released from Chorh-Gom Prison to start a new life and recover from his insanity. Po and Mr. Ping encounter Tsin, who is hunting the Qilin. At the end of the episode, Po and Mr. Ping were able to convince him that there was no Qilin and he was still crazy.

In "See No Weevil," Tsin returns, insane to a greater extent, having apparently married a pair of slippers. Tsin attacks a rice farm because evil Alien Rice Weevils were using it to take over minds and conquer the Earth. The Furious Five defeated Tsin, and planned to use the Zu Chao Powder on him. Po freed him after he found out the Weevils were real, and infected the Five and Shifu. However, the entire town except Mr. Ping was infected, and Tsin quickly joined the ranks of the infected. Po defeated the weevils, and the experience restored Tsin's sanity who left for Korea.

In-universe information
Species	Taihu pig (mortal form) Chinese dragon demon (true form)

Ke-Pa is a dangerous dragon demon who first appeared in the Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness special "Enter the Dragon."

Ke-Pa was the ruler of all the demons from the Underworld. They ravaged all of China until Grand Master Oogway defeated the demons and sealed them away. Then Grand Master Oogway fought against Ke-Pa. When all hope seemed lost, the power of the Peach Tree ended up giving Grand Master Oogway the power to fend off Ke-Pa, known as "Hero's Chi".

In present day, Ke-Pa is in his mortal guise of an old pig retelling his tale to some crocodile and water buffalo criminals in a bar who ended up laughing at his tale. When some of the Peach Tree started to fall off, Ke-Pa began to regain his powers and beat up the criminals. Ke-Pa then headed to the Valley of Peace. Po pridefully tries to stop him, but Ke-Pa has proven himself more than a match for him. When the tree dies, Ke-Pa regains his full powers and because he learned that Po was the Dragon Warrior, Ke-Pa decides the most appropriate to take to defeat him would be an actual beast and assumes his true form of a huge, colorful Dragon. Ke-Pa tells Po and Shifu that if they don't surrender the Hero's Chi so he can release the demons, he will devour the villagers. Shifu tells him that he has the Hero's Chi and he harshly sends Po off for letting his selfishness get the best of him and forgetting to warn the villagers. However, Ke-Pa later finds out that Shifu is not the host of the Hero's Chi, but Po is. Ke-Pa crushes Po close to death, extracting the Hero's Chi and breaking the seal, thus releasing the demons. Po's Life Force and Chi are restored by the Peach Tree sapling that Shifu planted in the Kung Fu Panda first movie. Po managed to defeat the demons and reseal the remaining ones. Po then fights Ke-Pa and uses the Chi he has left to destroy the demon.

NOTE: Because dragons are considered beneficent deities in oriental culture, it is made clear that Ke-Pa was not a true dragon, but a maniacal demon that could change his shape to any creature, including a monster. Demons in their true form, as seen in this episode are black, amorphous spirit-devils.

Master Ding is a Kung Fu master who had committed some mental attacks on innocent victims with his Spirit Orbs. It took Oogway and the Furious Five members at the time to defeat Ding and imprisoned him for life in a prison castle on Mugu Mountain while the Spirit Orbs were confiscated.

Many years later, Po and Tigress accidentally released Ding's Spirit Orbs which then left to Master Ding's prison. Once Po and Tigress arrive, they ended up having to deal with Ding's ghost, who gives Po and Tigress a hard time. When Ding manages to possess Po in order to exit his prison, Tigress gained control of the Spirit Orbs as Ding can no longer control them since Po isn't good at focusing, which puts him at a disadvantage. Tigress uses the Spirit Orbs to enter Po's mind where she and Po fought against Ding. Po and Tigress were able to exorcise Ding's ghost from Po's body and return the Spirit Orbs to the Jade Palace.

Mr. Ping

Mr. Ping
Kung Fu Panda character
Voiced by	James Hong
In-universe information
Species	Chinese goose[13]

Mr. Ping is Po's adoptive father, who runs the most popular noodle shop in the Valley. He considers his work deeply fulfilling, and hopes that his son will continue to operate the shop, wishing to share with him the family's secret recipe to great noodles. When he believes his son is ready, he informs him that there is actually no secret ingredient, and that things are special if someone believes them to be. This piece of advice leads Po to understand the cryptic message of the Dragon Scroll, which makes him the Dragon Warrior and allows him to fulfill his destiny.

Po and his father share a deep mutual love and respect. This shows in how Po cannot bear to disappoint his father about his differing ambitions while Mr. Ping respects his son's decisions enough to neither protest nor interfere after the panda is dubbed the Dragon Warrior. At Po's triumph over Tai Lung, all of Mr. Ping's doubts of his son's destiny vanish as he proclaims his pride in Po to the world as they embrace.

Furthermore, the end credit graphics indicate that Po keeps closely in touch with his father such as continuing to work at the restaurant. In addition, Ping establishes a friendship with the panda's other father figure and master, Shifu. He is extremely skilled at Chinese chess as shown when he outwits Shifu in a match.

However, the Kung Fu Panda Holiday shows that Mr. Ping harbors a deep-seated anxiety of Po leaving him in his nightmares. In addition, Ping finds the conflict of his priorities with his son's responsibilities as the Dragon Warrior deeply upsetting, especially since Master Shifu is prone to imperiously draw Po away on these matters at will. This comes to a head when Po is tasked to host the Winter Festival banquet for the Masters, which takes place at the same night as their traditional dinner at the restaurant. Although Po offers to give his father the high honor of cooking for the formal banquet, Ping stubbornly insists that he cannot close the restaurant for that night and forsake the lonely (and profitable) clientele who have nowhere else to celebrate the holiday. As a result, both father and son struggle in their separate culinary tasks, until Po decides he should be with his father and leaves the banquet early. In turn, Mr. Ping, who was struggling with his own preparations at this time, confesses that he was unfair to Po and concedes his larger duties with his martial arts calling. Regardless, the reunited family creates a successful event at the restaurant that not only pleases their usual customers, but also the visiting kung fu masters, who decide to come themselves out of admiration of Po's loyalty and the relaxed atmosphere. As the second feature film indicates, he was then able to accept his son's subsequent departure to follow his calling with some peace, though like any parent, he still worries for his son's safety.

In Kung Fu Panda 2, it was revealed that one day, while gathering the new shipments of vegetables he ordered, Mr. Ping found a baby panda in one of the shipment's radish crates. Surprised, he looked around and waited for someone to come find the infant. When no one came, he decided to keep the child until someone came looking for him. Quickly finding out that the infant was too big and heavy to carry in, he led him inside with a trail of vegetables. He bathed him, fed him, and nurtured him until one day, he came to realize that no one was coming for the child. He then made two life-altering decisions: He would never use radishes for noodle soup, and he would keep the child as his own son. It is assumed that around this point, Mr. Ping named the baby panda Po.

Mr. Ping is also shown to be a shrewd, if a bit opportunistic, businessman, despite seeming silly other times. For instance, he has renamed his restaurant as "Mr. Ping's Dragon Warrior Noodles and Tofu". In the first film Mr. Ping mentioned he once dreamt of running away to make tofu, with Po's belongings put on display. When Po comes to visit, he cries, "In honor of my son, free tofu dessert for everybody," only to add "with purchases," which causes his customers to groan and when Po returns from Gongmen City, Mr. Ping also shows him the posters he made advertising "My Son Saved China-- You Too Can Save [Money]! Buy 1 Dumpling, Get 1 Free". In the Holiday special, he tells Po that he owes him 17 yuan for the bedroom door, which Po had charged through believing his father was in trouble and also appreciates hosting a feast for Winter Festival not only for giving comfort to the lonely, but also being able to charge a premium doing so ("And lonely people pay extra"). Furthermore, at the end, when the Furious Five visit, Mr. Ping mentions to Po that Mantis, despite his size, must pay full price for his soup.

In Kung Fu Panda 3, Po's biological father Li Shan appears after searching for his son, and for a time Ping is understandably suspicious of the stranger, as well as a little jealous. He even goes so far as to close his restaurant for once, and follow the two pandas to the secret village on the pretext of needing to make sure Po had enough food. However, after spending time among the pandas, Ping comes to the realization that Li Shan truly loves Po, and there is nothing to fear from him. He humbly admits he is in the wrong - "Having you in Po's life doesn't mean less for me. It means more for Po. He needs both his dads." After this, Ping and Li Shan become close friends, comforting Po together, and battling in a constructed two-man mechanized war suit when Kai sets his Jombies loose on the village. He and Li Shan are also the first in the Panda Village to learn how to give chi, and the first to welcome Po when he returns from his battle with Kai. At the end of the film, Ping is shown among the crowd of new Kung fu trainees at the Jade palace, serving refreshments but also taking part in the practice, hinting he may become a master himself one day.

From a behind-the-scenes featurette on the first Kung Fu Panda movie DVD, the filmmakers reveal that (when hearing about James Hong's father having a noodle shop) they brought this to his character Mr. Ping. James Hong is the only voice actor to reprise his role as Mr. Ping in the films, TV series, and video games.

The irony is that, while visiting the prison, one of Zeng's feathers falls near Tai Lung, who uses it to pick the lock on his restraints and escape, echoing one of Oogway's statements that "one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it". In the resulting carnage, Zeng is spared and forced to return to the valley and herald Tai Lung's escape. He is extremely nervous and pessimistic, but is nonetheless willing to fulfill the assignment given to him.

Wo Hop is a renowned chef who was among the first to audition for the honor to cook for the Kung Fu Masters Winter Festival banquet, which was hosted that year by Po. Unfortunately, Po was unfamiliar with the intricate customs of the selection process and inadvertently disgraced Hop while waving to Monkey. Although Po attempted to immediately undo the error, custom allowed for no flexibility on the matter and the disgrace stood.

Desperate to redeem himself with his death, Wo Hop later attempted to assault Po in the kitchen in hopes that the Dragon Warrior would kill him in self-defense. Not wanting to harm the rabbit, Po was able to easily confine him to a flour pot, but he later escaped and harassed the panda as part of the overwhelming complications for the banquet preparations. However, Wo Hop's casual observation about the limits of Kung Fu inspired Po to enlist the aid of the Furious Five while offering to kill the rabbit after he helped with the cooking. Wo Hop agreed, but Po still had to continually stop a number of his suicide attempts in the process. Regardless, the meal was successfully prepared with the rabbit's help.

After Po left to work with his father at the restaurant for their own Winter Festival occasion, Wo Hop made one last attempt to attack Po. However, Po then presented Wo Hop with the Golden Ladle, the intended honor for the official cook of the Master's formal feast, which restored his honor in his eyes. Furthermore, Po also included the rabbit in the one approved commemorative portrait with all his family and friends as an additional honor.

Soothsayer

Soothsayer
Kung Fu Panda 2 character
Voiced by	Michelle Yeoh
In-universe information
Species	Cashmere goat

The Soothsayer is an elderly goat who once was Shen's nanny who foretold Shen's doom. The Soothsayer has a strange relationship with the peacock.

She also knows what Lord Shen did to Po's village and helps him to stop fighting his memories and achieve inner peace. Her extraordinary gift of second sight gives her insight in the true nature of any and all that she encounters. She is also shown to be an extremely skilled healer. She openly antagonizes Shen and bites/eats his robes several times, but obviously cares for him. As Lord Shen gradually sinks into madness, she continuously tries to get him to change and reform, telling him that his parents loved him and that they died from grief when he left, while he declares that they wronged him and hated him.

The Soothsayer was present upon Lord Shen's return where he used his cannon to kill Master Thundering Rhino, had Master Storming Ox and Master Croc imprisoned, and even took the Soothsayer with him as his prisoner.

He seems to want her to admit that she was wrong, but does not harm her in any way. When he sets out to conquer China, he tells his guards to release her, not kill her.

The Soothsayer later saves Po's life with acupuncture when she finds him in the river. When he refuses to drink her herbal mixture, she presses his pressure points and forces him to open his mouth and swallow.

After Lord Shen and his armies are defeated, the Soothsayer is last seen enjoying the fireworks with the Gongmen City residents.

Peng

Peng
Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness character
Voiced by	Danny Cooksey
In-universe information
Species	Snow leopard
Combat style	Leopard Kung Fu

Peng is the nephew of Tai Lung, who left his life as an assistant potter and took to traveling as a self-taught prodigy in the martial arts.

He first appeared in "The Kung Fu Kid", where he visited the Valley of Peace during its Peace Jubilee and was forced into a confrontation with Temutai's nephew, Jing Mei. When the leopard quickly defeated the young water buffalo, the deeply impressed Po persuaded Master Shifu to consider taking him in as a student. Unfortunately, the combination of the cub's likably humble character and his considerable skill drew him so much favor with Jade Palace's residents that Po grew threatened and a little jealous, especially when the cub mused of becoming the Dragon Warrior himself. In response, Po falsely claimed to Peng that Shifu rejected him. Unfortunately, Peng in a rage decided to prove himself by killing Temutai and immediately attacked the water buffalo in his tent. Po, alarmed at his mistake and the cub's murderous overreaction, attempted to intervene, but the fight drifted into the festivities and provoked a riot. Eventually, Po is finally able to confess his deception and apologize to Peng, who immediately calmed down and similarly apologized for losing his temper, allowing the unwitting rivals to reconcile along with Temutai in the spirit of the occasion. After the Jubilee, Peng decides to leave to continue the quest for his family that he tells Po about....to find his uncle, whose name leaves the panda with a shock of terror.

In "Master and the Panda", Peng is first seen selling pottery in the markets of the Valley of Peace during the crafts fair. Two crocodile bandits harass and try to rob him, but Peng quickly defeats them, denying Po, Crane, and Monkey the opportunity. Po flees the scene during Peng's battle. Shortly after he tells Monkey and Crane of Peng's relation to Tai Lung and, despite Crane's insistence that he shouldn't judge him based on his uncle, is unwilling to risk being near Peng if he knows the truth. When Monkey and Crane brought Peng back to the Jade Palace, the other masters were overjoyed to see him. Po attempted to hide by disguising himself as Zeng via a shift-stone, and was revealed by Shifu. Po was forced to reveal that he had vanquished Tai Lung to Peng in private and also trying to show that Tai Lung is evil, and Peng attacked and defeated Po in a rage as an attempt to avenge his uncle, sending him fleeing. The incident frightened Po where he stayed up all night until Peng ambushed him, bringing with him Tai Lung's sword. Peng admitted that, after asking around, Po was right about Tai Lung and that vengeance was not the answer, but decided to quit kung fu, out of fear that he would become as evil as his uncle had. However, this changed when Po came after him, begging for his help in order to defeat Temutai, whom had empowered himself with the Gong Lu Medallion, an amulet that enhanced his strength and his darkest crazed emotions. Together Po and Peng defeated Temutai, but upon stealing away the medallion, Peng was ensnared by its evil, declaring that he was not afraid of power and should instead embrace it while still trying to avenge his uncle. Peng then fought Po in an eerily similar battle to the one he fought against Tai Lung. During the battle, the crazed Peng also blamed Po for corrupting Tai Lung and taking the title and power of the Dragon Warrior from him. Upon wishing that Tai Lung was there to watch him defeat Po, Peng was shocked to see Tai Lung himself appear, who explained that the medallion brought him back to life. Tai Lung then agreed to help him destroy Po and his nephew's enemies, but then horrified him with the idea of destroying everyone and finally learning of his evil. Peng then finally came to his senses, defeating Tai Lung and denouncing him as a villain and a disgrace, and refusing to kill him. Tai Lung then reveals himself to be Po, who used a shift-stone to trick Peng and bring him to his senses. Po explains and reassures that Peng and Tai Lung are nothing alike, as Peng has the heart and spirit of a true warrior. After safely disposing of the medallion, Peng is offered the chance to train at the Jade Palace and is offered his uncle's sword, but Peng turns down the offer, and smashes the sword, saying it can no longer hurt anyone and neither can he. Peng decides to stop trying to avenge his uncle and states that kung fu is over for him and leaves out of fear of the darkness inside him and his fear of not being able to control or defeat it, leaving Shifu, the Furious Five, and especially Po greatly saddened.[17]

In "Kung Fu Fight Club," Peng returns where he starts a Kung Fu Fight Club as a way for the defenseless to defend themselves. He even befriends Lian who helps him. Po ended up learning about this and had to keep this info private from Master Shifu. The antics of Peng's students ended up thwarting the robberies of criminals who were working for Tong Fo. Upon finding the location of the Kung Fu Fight Club, Tong Fo raided the place where his gorillas held Lian hostage so that Tong Fo can get Peng to do as he says. The next day, Po spars against Peng as Tong Fo's gang blended in with the crowd alongside a disguised Master Shifu. After figuring out that Tong Fo is secretly running the fights, Po helps Peng free Lian as the Kung Fu Fight Club members join in the fight against Tong Fo's gang with the help of Master Shifu. After Tong Fo and his gang are defeated, Master Shifu allows the Kung Fu Fight Club to remain.

Species	Indian elephant

Constable Hu is an Indian elephant who appears in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness.

He first appears in "Present Tense" where he offers up a bounty for the capture of Shengqi. Po takes up Constable Hu's offer. When Po learns the truth about Shengqi and brings him to the Valley of Peace to be reunited with his daughter Xiao Niao, Constable Hu tried to stop them and apprehend Shengqi only for Po to tell Constable Hu the truth about what happened the day when Shengqi was incarcerated at Chorh-Gom Prison. Constable Hu tells Po that he'll petition the Imperial Magistrate to have Shengqi's sentence overturned. During this episode, it was mentioned that Constable Hu had a daughter who ran off with a street magician and hasn't seen her in years.

In "Invitation Only," Constable Hu appears before the Furious Five and tells him that he is holding an invitation to Upper Head District Chief Superior Superintendent Chang. When Po arrives at Constable Hu's house to ask about why his invitation hasn't arrived yet. Constable Hu tells Po that he wasn't invited and admitted that Po doesn't have good table manners. When Po begs to Constable Hu to let him come, Constable Hu says "no." When it comes time for the banquet, Constable Hu is nervous at what Superintendent Chang will think of the banquet. When Superintendent Chang gets bored, Constable Hu has Master Shifu and the Furious Five perform something that Superintendent Chang hasn't seen until the banquet was crashed by Temutai. After Po defeated Temutai, Constable Hu told Po to skedaddle until Superintendent Chang invited Po to sit by him. Superintendent Chang tells Constable Hu that the banquet was boring until Po arrived. When Master Shifu hoped that Superintendent Chang would promote Constable Hu and reassign him, Superintendent Chang instead renews Constable Hu's position for another 10 years.

In "Shifu's Back", Po and the others are left waiting for a very long time when it is decided that they need a licence to use their kung fu. Constable Hu finally delivers it to the Jade Palace and, although he admits that criminals are running riot without the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five to stop them, he doesn't seem happy about giving them their licence.

In "The Midnight Stranger," Constable Hu outlaws Kung Fu due to the overdoing of Kung Fu and tells Po and the Furious Five if they do any Kung Fu, he will have them remanded to Chor-Gom Prison. When Po has been masquerading as the Midnight Stranger to defend the Valley of Peace, Constable Hu was surprised that he found some criminals in his cell after they were defeated by the Midnight Stranger. Constable Hu finds the Midnight Stranger saving a villager from a criminal causing Constable Hu to pursue him after stopping various criminals. Constable Hu later visits Po offering him the opportunity to do a little Kung Fu on the Midnight Stranger during the stakeout. When Mr. Ping masquerades as the Midnight Stranger and stops a robbery at an apple cart, Constable Hu mistakes him as the Midnight Stranger that he was stalking and arrests him. Po ends up becoming the Midnight Stranger and confesses that he was masquerading as him, admitting that he was doing what was right as Constable Hu arrests him. When the pig criminals arrive and admit they manipulated Constable Hu into outlawing Kung Fu, Constable Hu was surprised at this as the pig criminals bring Lidong to help them. Constable Hu helps Po fend off Lidong and the pig criminals. Constable Hu then lifts the ban on Kung Fu as he plans to have Lidong and the pig criminals remanded to Chor-Gom Prison.
