pucca
A 11-year-old girl (12 as of Slam, Bam Birthday Bash) born on July 7, Pucca is the series' titular character of the series. She is hopelessly in love with Garu, and is constantly trying to kiss him. Rather than speaking, Pucca communicates with giggling, kissing, growling sounds, and occasional short words like "hello", "tada", and "yu huh!".
She has also been seen cheering "G-A-R-U" with Ching on one occasion in episode Tokyo-A-Go-Go when Garu was Sumo Wrestling and on another occasion "A-B-Y-O" when they both acted as cheerleaders in the episode Ninjitsu for Dummies. She and Garu also both sing in Hooray for Bollywood!(despite their voices are completely different than the occasional noises that they make).
Pucca lives with her guardians (her parents are never seen and she may've came to live with them temporarily), the three Master Chefs at the Goh-Rong restaurant, where she works as a delivery girl, driving around town on her red scooter. She has a pink cat named Yani, who flirts with other cats, but is only interested in Garu's black cat, Mio(similar to her flirting with Garu).
Although she is not a ninja, she has demonstrated some unique abilities of her own that make up for what she lacks in training, such as immense speed, strength, and a rock-hard head. She has also shown some more extreme abilities such as controlling the weather as shown in "He loves me not". Her superhuman abilities are not always necessary for her to save the day, however, as she's extremely present-minded and resourceful. Though she is typically sweet-natured, Pucca has a very bad temper, a reckless attitude, and when another girl is seen interested in Garu, Pucca angrily charges for the girl and (usually) tends to "beat her up". Pucca has very long black hair, but usually wears it in an odango style.
The only times her hair is out of her usual style is in episodes Ghost Of A Kiss (though it is her ancestor, whom looked exactly like Pucca), Ring Ring's Party Favors when she was blasted out of the Goh-rong when Ring Ring uses her opera voice, destroying most of it, and her hair ties snap off and He Loves Me Not where her hair was flowing from an unusual power. Pucca is also a talented musician, as evidenced in And the Band Played Rong, Sooga Size Me, and a few other episodes. Most likely out of a desire to protect him, Pucca often takes over where Garu (unwillingly) gives up.
Pucca also has an alter-ego named "Noodle Girl" that sometimes appears in the series. It is revealed in the episode Tomb It May Concern that Pucca is Uncle Dumpling's, Ho's and Linguini's niece (Though not which side of the family they come from), although this was the only time it was ever touched upon. though the back of some of the Pucca DVD cases also state that the chief's are Pucca's uncles. In "Funny Love Stories", she's still in love with Garu. But instead of the voul of silence, she talks! And so does Garu! Voiced

Garu
A 13-year-old ninja boy born on December 2, Garu is a skilled, shy, and somewhat serious-natured ninja, best friend to Abyo. To Pucca's frustration, however, he only rarely returns her affection and usually frantically tries to escape when Pucca attempts to kiss him. He is the only sane person that knows that he is not Pucca's boyfriend, while everybody seems to think that Garu returns the same feelings that Pucca has for him. Garu's feelings are still a mystery.
Anything about Garu's family is quite unknown except it reveals that in one of the episodes, Garu has a little brother named Gura. So far, he has only been seen once in an episode called Gura in Town. No real mentioning of his family was made either except for Tobe frequently mentioning his ancestors. One thing realed, Garu is trying to restore his family name.
Despite trying to avoid Pucca's advances toward him, Garu's feelings are truthful shown in a caring but not too affectionate towards her. Although at times he has let Pucca hold his hand. Interestingly enough, one can come to two separate conclusions about the truth of Garu's feelings depending on which series one chooses to follow. In the original Flash cartoons, it was suggested that Pucca and Garu were officially a couple, and he occasionally gave her boxes of chocolate and other gifts. In one episode, he melted down his beloved sword to make a little ring for her, and in another, he left a rose on her windowsill. The TV series, on the other hand, has hinted that he does care about her to some extent (i.e. getting very defensive when someone insults her like in the episode the Band Played Rong he got upset when Tobe Called Pucca Stupid), but it has never been implied that his feelings for her are more than platonic. In truth, however, it is said that Pucca and Garu are in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. It's just that Pucca is a bit too "friendly", unlike Garu, who doesn't want to show "unnecessary" affection. (He only fell in love with Pucca in the episode Full Moon Pucca because he was moonstruck). Some say he loves her, hes just to shy to show it.
Like Pucca, Garu is capable of superhuman athletics and endurance (such as running around the entire world without tiring), yet she still manages to get the best of him. Like Pucca, he does not talk at all in the TV series, continuing to only use the sounds from the Flash cartoons. It's explained in the TV series that he's taken a vow of silence. However, in the episode "Romancing the Clone", Garu's clone speaks throughout the entire episode in an obnoxious manner, but only because the clone was accidentally sprayed with a dishonor potion made by Jumong who let Tobe try to spray Garu with it. But, in the episode, Rootin Tootin Ninja's while accidentally rolling down the mountain with Abyo, (that Pucca had made earlier in the episode) it is heard that Garu actually mumbles "Get off me". This is the only time where Garu is heard saying a sentence. Also to note, in the episode Trial by Fury, The Judge (Master Soo) says "Sheesh, I thought the guy would never shut up," after Garu takes the stand during the trial, although this was done in a comedic and light-hearted fashion. In Secret Santa Garu at one point was about to read aloud to Tobe (disguised as Santa at the time) his list of things he wants for Christmas but Tobe cut him off as he triggered the trap he sent for Garu. In "Hooray for Bollywood", he and Pucca actually both sing. He also cries and screams in pain from breaking his leg in A Leg Up. In Tobe's nighttime troubles, though technically may not count as him talking, a cuckoo clock at one point opens to reveal a small wooden figure of him saying in his voice "Cuckoo" In Romancing the Clone, Garu has a skill called the "Garusion Illusion", allowing Garu to split into many clones and confuse his enemies.
Garu has been shown to immediately accept a quest if told it will bring him "great honor". The reason for this, although not revealed in the TV series to date, most likely stems from one of Garu's ancestors bringing dishonor upon his family (as was revealed in the original Flash cartoons). In addition to being a skilled fighter, Garu has also demonstrated the ability to play the erhu. Another example of Garu's talents, he has attained the status of 'Fire Wasp Ninja,' becoming a member of the legendary group by the same name.
As though to compliment Garu's talents as a ninja, several female characters have been in love with him: Pucca, Ring Ring (mostley just to make Pucca jealous), a Swiss girl named Heidi (although Heidi has only appeared once in the television series), The Queen of the Giant Termites (who appeared in the episode Chop Chewie) and a female rabbit who lived inside Santa's magic hat (who appeared in the episode Abra Ca Pucca), which would suggest that he is rather attractive, and said by the nick-name "Handsome". Also, the show's english theme song states he is "a pretty boy". But Pucca basically loves Garu more than anyone.
Unlike Pucca, Abyo, and Ching, Garu lives independently, living a small house just outside Sooga Village with his pet cat Mio. Garu's house as revealed to carry booby traps and other mechanical objects in House of Doom with the traps and object either triggered by Garu by activating certain switches or activated automatically when certain items in the house are removed or touched in any way.

Tobe
14 years old, and another ninja like Garu, Tobe is Garu's Arch-enemy and strives to defeat Garu at all costs with his two swords. Tobe is rarely capable of defeating Garu, however, much less Pucca. For some reason, Tobe is always trying to strike vengeance on Garu, though they never mention what Garu's ever done to him. The fact Tobe frequently mentions Garu's ancestors to Garu may be a clue to it. In the television series, he often makes quotes that range from overly melodramatic to just plain ridiculous (i.e., "The fly is walking right into my weblike... mousetrap."). It is shown that he and Garu might respect each other as friends after being stuck together, but Tobe quickly reverts back to evil. Tobe has an X-shaped scar between his eyes and usually wears his ninja mask. However, Tobe has been seen without his mask a number of times before, in which he has a samurai ponytail. He is accompanied by his ninja minions who, more often than not, eliminate themselves by misinterpreting Tobe's commands or just acting utterly stupid, much to Tobe's annoyance. They work cheap, as mentioned by Tobe when he and Garu are stuck together. Tobe's minions are almost never unmasked, even if they go to sleep. In "Ching it on" he is by first time a background character.

Uncle Dumpling, Ho and Linguini
The chefs of the Goh-Rong Chinese restaurant, and Pucca's guardians. They are Uncle Dumpling (or Jang Toong), Ho (or Ho-Oh) and Linguini (or Woo-Wuh). They cook jajangmyeon noodles as a team, with Linguini twisting the noodles, Uncle Dumpling chopping up the vegetables, and Ho heating up the dishes with his bare hands. They hold their noodles in very high regard, and possess a culinary honor system.
In Chef Slump, it is revealed the chef brothers are actually quite adept in athletics and martial arts (but in a cooking matter). The trio was able to hold their own against attacking ninjas in Chef-Napped Uncle Dumpling, for example, can handle his knives like swords. The chefs cook the best noodles in Sooga Village and, possibly, the world. It is revealed in Pucca episode Tomb It May Concern that Uncle Dumpling, Ho and Linguini are Pucca's uncles.
They often have the last word in episodes, and usually burst out laughing right after.

Abyo
Age: 12. Abyo is very outgoing, competitive, stubborn, energetic, and excitable. He's Garu's best friend and he's also good friends with Pucca and Ching. A practitioner of Kung-Fu, Abyo uses nunchucks as weapons. Abyo's signature move is a running gag in the series: he jumps up, yells "Hi-Ya!", and rips off his shirt at least once in every episode. If he can't rip his shirt off, he settles for whatever else he happens to be wearing, resulting in him severely embarrassing himself in public.
His physical appearance is an homage to martial arts icon Bruce Lee, but unlike the late martial artist, Abyo's personality is very headstrong and impulsive and it is with this kind of attitude that he is often left with the shorter end of the stick.
Abyo is the son of Bruce, the police chief of Sooga. He trains under Chang at the Turtle Training hall with Garu, Ching, and Ssoso. He's also a bit of a womanizer, yet usually ignores Ching's crush on him, much to her frustration; this slightly wears off when she proves to be one really good martial artist and saves Abyo's life, though. When Muji tried to lower Abyo into a tub of boiling acid, Ching cut off Muji's moustache, his only weakness and saved Abyo. He has also willingly kissed Ching in Misplaced Face, He also kissed Pucca in Abra Ca Pucca when he was put under a love spell by Pucca with Santa's wand when she wanted to spelled it on Garu. It is revealed in A Better Boyfriend that he is allergic to mustard which causes his head to grow big, red and swollen. Throughout the series, Abyo is shown to be a bit of a show-off.

Ching
Age 12. Pucca's kind-hearted best friend. Ching is a very sweet, happy ninja girl who is generally well-liked for her sunny, upbeat attitude. She is the daughter of Chang, the owner of the Turtle Training Hall, and she trains under her father with Garu, Abyo, and Ssoso. She uses two swords appearing similar to Jian in battle and is easily distracted.
She has a pet chicken named Won who sits on her head and she also has a heart-shaped mouth and also has 2 swirls on her cheeks. The eggs that Won lays apparently have magical properties which is said to be true in "The force of won". In "Hottest Fighter Abyo", Abyo saved Ching from a trio of villains. She was quickly entranced by his skill and he became her love interest.
Ching secretly wants to marry Abyo and became jealous of impostor (who is disgued like Ring-Ring) in the episode "Ching it on" when both fought for Abyo's affections,and, with help from Pucca Ching eventually won the battle.

Santa Claus
First appeared in A Christmas Story, but later began to appear more frequently, demonstrating to the viewers what he does while he isn't busy with Christmas. This includes many jobs such as being a doctor, a taxi driver and a shopkeeper. He is mainly used for comic relief. He is usually an unwitting victim of Pucca when she is after Garu — for example, when he dressed up like Garu to get chocolates from Pucca, and was beaten with a tree afterwards. In one episode, Santa is shown signing up to become a ninja like Garu. Also, he uses to sing the Christmas Song Jingle Bells (singing his laugh Ho ho ho instead of the song's lyrics).
Santa is seen in all but a couple of episodes. It has been revealed that before he became Santa, he was known as a thief by the name of Red Lantern who used to work as a partner with a ninja known as "Black Powder" in the episode "Tis the Season for Revenge". Also he seems to not have a beard like the usual stereotype of Santa Claus.
