Pucca
Pucca is the series' titular character.She is an 10 year old. She is obsessed with Garu and hopelessly loves him, constantly trying to steal kisses from him. Pucca never speaks in the series, instead communicating with giggling,loving , and growling sounds (it is mentioned by Ching, however, that she has a pretty singing voice). Pucca lives with her guardians, the 3 Master Chefs at the Goh-Rong Restaurant, who are also her uncles. She also delivers noodles from the restaurant on her scooter. Although she is a ninja she has demonstrated some unique abilities of her own that make up for what she lacks in training. Some of these abilities are: a nearly indestructible head, the ability to run on water, the ability to 'transform' (demonstrating the ability to become a mermaid, and a take-off of a Sailor SenshiSailor Senshi
A appears as a type of heroine in the metaseries known as Sailor Moon. The name comes from sailor fuku, a type of school uniform, and senshi, which can mean "soldier" or "warrior".

Garu
Garu is the descendant of ancient and silent Ninja, and aims to restore his family to their rightful crown position. Like Pucca, he does not talk at all in the TV series, continuing to only use the sounds from the Flash cartoons. It is explained in the TV series that he's taken a vow of silence (in the episode "Romancing the Clone"; however, Garu's clone speak's throughout the episode). He will immediately accept a quest if told it will bring him "great honor". He runs away from Pucca in horror. Like Pucca, Garu is capable of superhuman athletics and endurance, such as running around the entire world without tiring, but not to the same degree. In addition to being a skilled fighter, Garu has also demonstrated the ability to play the erhuErhu
The erhu is a two-stringed bowed musical instrument, more specifically a spike fiddle, which may also be called a "southern fiddle", and sometimes known in the Western world as the "Chinese violin" or a "Chinese two-stringed fiddle". It is used as a solo instrument as well as in small ensembles...

Tobe
First appeared in Oasis. A main villain, Tobe is rarely capable of defeating Garu, however, much less Pucca. For some reason, Tobe is always trying to strike vengeance on Garu ("vengeance" is his catch-phrase), 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 Tobe has an x-shaped scar between his eyes and usually wears his ninja mask, showing only the above. 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.Voiced by: Lee Tockar

Destiny
Destiny is a golden dragon who lives in a cave (which he refers to as the "Casa del Dragon") behind the waterfall in Sooga Lake. Destiny is a lounge singer and piano player. He first appeared in Unsinkable Pucca as the piano player on the S.S. Funny Love, however, he was most prominently featured in Dragon Player. He and Pucca attempted to plan a romantic date with her and Garu. Garu proceeds to walk off, but when Destiny says because he left Pucca crying he has no honor (Garu will definitely perform a task if honor is mentioned, noted by the close up and the look in his eyes) he fights him. In the end, Pucca helped him to score his "first gig in five hundred years" performing at the Goh-Rong. He reappeared in "Chef Napped!", where he flew the gang to Las Vegas for the World of Noodles Convention, and helped to rescue the chefs when they were kidnapped. He also appeared in Enter the Dragon Girls as the Dragon Girls' (a parody of the Girl Scouts of Korea) troop leader. He showed also in "Full Moon Pucca", when Garu was lip-singing, Destiny was behind a fence, doing the real singing. And in "Garu Hood", he ate the last noodle bowl so Garu Hood (a la Robin Hood) had to get it back. Destiny ended up eating Garu, Abyo, and Dada until Pucca beat him. Like typical dragons, Destiny can fly (though he has no wings) and breathe fire, but in addition, he can make himself grow larger by roaring or singing.Master Soo
