Kickin it

Kickin' It each have distinct, comedic, and growth-oriented personalities that drive the show's martial arts and teen sitcom dynamics.

Located in a strip mall, the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy is known as the worst dojo in the underperforming nationwide Bobby Wasabi chain. To improve the dojo's image, a tight knit crew of underdogs enlists Jack to join and help teach them about life, karate, and friendship

Man characters: Jack Brewer: The confident and skilled leader of the Wasabi Warriors. He is athletic, loyal, and always ready to help his friends.

Sensei Rudy: The goofy, eccentric, and fiercely competitive dojo owner. He has a wacky sense of humor but deeply cares for his students.

Milton Krupnick: Highly intelligent and studious, but often lacks social skills. Karate helps him build the confidence to try anything

Jerry Martinez: Rebellious, eccentric, and a talented dancer. He frequently lands in detention but remains fiercely loyal to the group

Eddie: Sweet, nervous, and uncoordinated. He embarrasses easily but loves the sense of achievement karate gives him

Kim Crawford: Independent, talented, and tough. She holds her own as a top martial artist and stands up to any challenge.

Side characters: Falafel Phil: is the owner of the restaurant Falafel Phil's, which is later reinvented as Phil's Bowl and Burger. He came to America with his cousin Carl to open a restaurant, but had creative differences. He has a goat named Tootsie, whom he is extremely fond of. He sometimes competes against Rudy, though both seem to be friends as Rudy invites him on a motorcycle trip and helps babysit his goat when he is out of town. He has a niece named Mika who Jerry dates in the second season

Tootsie: Falafel Phil's pet goat who also acts as a chef in the restaurant.

Marge: is Seaford High's lunch lady, who also takes classes at the dojo.

Frank: is a student at Seaford High, who trains with the Black Dragons. He has a crush on Kim, though she does not like him. He is also angered by the fact that she left the dojo after she realized that Ty cheated. It is revealed that he is 19 years old, but still in seventh grade. As revealed by Ty, Frank was hit over the head with a bo staff, which explains his stupidity.

Sensei Ty: is the master of the Black Dragons and rival of the Wasabi Warriors, especially Rudy, whom he held a grudge against for 15 years. He and Rudy were studying martial arts with the Grand Master to determine who would get to be the Grand Master's apprentice; during that match, Ty heard a toot and dropped his guard, giving Rudy an opening and the chance to take the win. Ever since, Ty has hated Rudy and vowed to never rest until he got his revenge, even though it was the Grand Master who tooted.

Joan: is a security guard at the strip mall where the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy is located, who tends to tag along with the Wasabi Warriors. A recurring gag is that Joan rips off her uniform to reveal another outfit underneath that aligns with the episode's main theme.

Sidney: Spelled Sidney in some episodes, is first seen in "Swords and Magic", as an arch-enemy of Milton during their LARP practices. He is credited as Dark Knight King in that episode. In "Hit the Road Jack", he is wedgied by some unknown bully. He is seen again in "The Sub Sinker" and "School of Jack", as a friend of Milton

Bobby Wasabi: is an international movie star and the owner of the Bobby Wasabi chain. Jack's grandfather trained him for all of his movies and now he is overweight

Julie: is a student at Seaford High, who is Milton's former girlfriend and also Ty's niece. She seems to have taken their relationship seriously as she threatened Kim about kissing Milton

Funderburk: is a gym teacher in the second season, principal in the third season, and an agent in the fourth season. Like other faculty members, he dislikes Jerry due to all the trouble he causes.

Albert: is a nerd, who at first is friends with Milton and Sydney, but later ends up being jealous of Milton. He has a crush on Kim. He seems to be very annoying and tends to jump at the chance to mess with anybody, which usually backfires.

Sam: is introduced in "Dueling Dojos", where Rudy originally adopts him to look good in front of Grandmaster Po and tries to put Milton and Kim in charge of him. When Sam makes enemies out of all three of them, Rudy decides to give him back. After Sam reveals he has never had a family, Rudy decides to keep him

The New Student: You or a new character join the dojo as a black belt, shaking up the dynamic between Jack, Kim, Milton, Jerry, and Eddie.
