===Main characters===
* '''Randy Cunningham''' (voiced by [[Ben Schwartz]]<ref name="randy"/><ref name="randy2"/>) - Randy is a ninth grader who was chosen to be a ninja.
* '''Randy Cunningham''' (voiced by [[Ben Schwartz]]<ref name="randy"/><ref name="randy2"/>) - Randy is a ninth grader who was chosen to be a ninja, due to having a "hero's heart," and being "brave beyond reason". Randy loves to play video games, and hang out with his best friend, Howard. They also share their own band, "30 Seconds to Math" (a parody of [[Thirty Seconds to Mars]]), in which Randy plays the [[keytar]]. New to being a ninja, Randy gets wisdom from the "The Ninja-[[Necronomicon|Nomicon]]," a book filled with 800 years of knowledge. Despite all this knowledge, Randy makes many mistakes, misinterpretations, or ignores the Nomicon's wisdom, causing him problems and sometimes danger to Norrisville. Randy might misuse his powers and weapons for the sake of having fun, however, he also has an ability to solve riddles, an affinity for science and a willingness to fix his mistakes.


* '''Howard Weinerman''' (voiced by [[Andrew Caldwell]]<ref name="randy"/><ref name="randy2"/>) - Randy's best friend.
* '''Howard Weinerman''' (voiced by [[Andrew Caldwell]]<ref name="randy"/><ref name="randy2"/>) - Randy's best friend, who always calls him by his last name. He is a big fan of the ninja in the first episode until he finds out that Randy is the ninja. Howard is secretly insecure about his "dainty" hands. Howard can be very selfish, but treasures his friendship with Randy. The Ninja-Nomicon has told Randy that friendship is a burden the ninja must not have, but Randy is determined to continue being both the ninja and Howard's best friend. Also in the episode "Stanks Like Teen Spirit", it is shown that Howard is extremely good at [[chess]] even beating a so-called "Unbeatable Robot" that was created by Willem Viceroy III.

* '''The [[Magician (fantasy)|Sorcerer]]''' (voiced by [[Tim Curry]]<small></small><ref name="randy"/><ref name="randy2"/> in Season One, [[Ben Cross]] in Season Two) - This one-time master of the dark arts is determined to destroy the ninja.
* '''The [[Magician (fantasy)|Sorcerer]]''' (voiced by [[Tim Curry]]<small></small><ref name="randy"/><ref name="randy2"/> in Season One, [[Ben Cross]] in Season Two) - This one-time master of the dark arts is determined to destroy the ninja. The Sorcerer was sealed beneath the Earth 800 years ago by the last survivor of Norisu Nine (a family of ninjas that fought the Sorcerer). But in the present-day, Norrisvile High School was built over his burial ground and he has reawakened. In order to escape, the Sorcerer needs to create chaos to build his power within the Chaos Pearls that he wears on him. He does this by creating and releasing a gas that can turn the most vulnerable people in school into rampaging monsters (referred to as "Stankifying"). The only way to reverse this transformation is by doing something massively distracting to the victim, such as destroying something the victim greatly cherishes or reuniting them with someone they love or care about. If he creates enough chaos, he will become powerful enough to break free from his prison, destroy the Ninja, and rip the world to shreds. Hannibal McFist has allied with the Sorcerer to cause chaos in exchange that the Sorcerer gives Hannibal McFist the ability of his choosing. During his time in his prison, the Sorcerer started socializing with a rat. In "Raiders of the Lost Nomicon," Randy finally meets the Sorcerer in McFist's tower. It is shown that he has limited influence in the outside world by using a kind of red stank to attack Randy. The influence appear to be limited to McFist's corporate office. In "Randy Cunningham and the Sorcerer's key", it is revealed that after the Sorcerer was imprisoned, a key that can unlock his prison was created. At the end of this episode, Randy found the key and sealed it away in the Nomicon. It was stated that the key is needed in the final battle. In "Randy Cunningham: 13th Century Ninja", Randy and Howard go back in time where Randy accidentally prevents the Sorcerer from being imprisoned, causing a time paradox that made the Sorcerer's dream of escaping finally come true. But when Randy, Howard, and the original Ninja rewrite history, the Sorcerer is once again imprisoned in his hole. Though one of the Sorcerer's Chaos Pearls is found by Catfish Booray. In "Julian's Birthday Surprise," the Nomicon has shown that the Sorcerer used to be a normal [[peddler]] until he found the Chaos Pearl. In "Balls Wells That Ends Well" Pt. 2, the Sorcerer's powers are drained by Evil Julian with the Chaos Pearls later being separated by Randy which enabled the Sorcerer to become good and fade away.


* '''Hannibal McFist''' (voiced by [[John DiMaggio]]<ref name="randy"/><ref name="randy2"/>) - Hannibal McFist is the owner and [[Chief executive officer|CEO]] of McFist Industries.
* '''Hannibal McFist''' (voiced by [[John DiMaggio]]<ref name="randy"/><ref name="randy2"/>) - Hannibal McFist is the owner and [[Chief executive officer|CEO]] of McFist Industries which [[Megacorporation|makes or owns just about everything]] like McFist Tunes, McFist Limousine, McFillings, McCedes, McShorties, McSterminator, McSquiddies, McTighties, McTops, McHoodles, McFistios, McKicks, McFizzles, and McSkinnies. But the world is not enough for McFist. The one thing he wants more than anything is a super power. So he made a deal: if McFist helps the Sorcerer break out of his hole of a prison, the Sorcerer will reward McFist with the super-human ability of his choosing. Hannibal McFist has a robotic right arm which has its own brain. In "Last Stall On the Left", it is shown McFist doesn't always have complete control over his mechanic arm. Before discovering his true nature, McFist was actually Randy's hero due to loving all the stuff his industries make. In "Fart-Topia," it is revealed that Hannibal has a hippie older brother named Terry, who is the true heir to McFist Industries, and Hannibal only runs business as Terry's [[wikt:Special:Search/proxy#Noun|proxy]]. When Stankified by the Sorcerer, he becomes a large blue crab-like monster with long hair and his brain becomes a sentient red claw.


* '''Willem Viceroy III''' (voiced by [[Kevin Michael Richardson]]<ref name="randy"/><ref name="randy2"/>) - Often just called Viceroy, he is a [[mad scientist]] but rather refined madman responsible for all of the bizarre robots attacking Randy. As McFist's chief scientist, Viceroy doesn't really care about money or power. He just wants everyone to appreciate his genius. In "Monster Dump," it is revealed that Viceroy now keeps a pet [[amoeba]] named Nicholas. He was also a classmate to Jerry Driscoll and ratted him out to the police about his device causing his arrest.

* '''Mac Antfee''' (voiced by [[David Koechner]]) - He was the ninja of the 1980s, but was "condemned for conduct unbecoming of a ninja" and stripped of the ninja suit.
* '''Jerry Driscoll''' (voiced by [[Andy Dick]]) - Mrs. Driscoll's deceased husband whose skeleton she carries around with her at all times. In "Dawn of Driscoll," Randy accidentally brought his skeleton back to life. It is revealed that he is a mad scientist and arguably the most dangerous villain in the show as he spent his time building doomsday devices that could destroy the world and the universe. He hates Viceroy who got him imprisoned and stole the spot of Valedictorian at Mad Scientist University. The only thing he loves more than destruction is his wife.

* '''Mac Antfee''' (voiced by [[David Koechner]]) - He was the ninja of the 1980s, but was "condemned for conduct unbecoming of a ninja" and stripped of the ninja suit. He first appeared in a flashback in the Nomicon in "Stank'd to the Future" which revealed that he opted to lock a stankified student named Dickie in the cafeteria freezer so he wouldn't miss a dance. Whether or not this was the act that got him stripped of his ninja mask was unknown. Since losing the suit, he opened up a ninja camp that teaches kids to win via cheating and dirty tricks. He also believes himself to be the one worthy of being the ninja and has dedicated his life to reclaiming the mask, stating that when he does, he will "kick every butt in Norrisvile". He is shown to have some fighting skills, though no where near the level of the ninja, and has trained numerous red suited students to serve as grunts, with one heavyset student also serving as his personal gong (much to the student's discomfort). After being defeated by Randy, he escaped on a speedboat with the student he uses as a gong, vowing revenge. Instead, Mac reevaluated his life and attempted to move on as a motivational life coach. But Randy's prodding reawakened his desire for the mask and made him realize Randy was the current ninja. The two had a showdown in the Ninja-Nomicon and Randy tricked Mac into getting his mind wiped. Without memories of the power he had as the ninja, Mac returned to being a really nice guy, to the bewilderment of his gong sidekick.
** '''Man-Gong''' - Mac Antfee's right-hand man.

* '''Catfish Booray''' (voiced by [[Jim Cummings]]) - A Cajun swamp man who lives in the swamp behind the school.

* '''The Sorceress''' (voiced by [[Jennifer Tilly]]) - The Sorcerer's girlfriend.
* '''Catfish Booray''' (voiced by [[Jim Cummings]]) - A Cajun swamp man who lives in the swamp behind the school. With knowledge of both science and sorcery upon gaining special powder from the "Spirit of the Swamp," he can control animals and turn himself into giant amalgamation of swamp animals called the Pythanthigator (a python/black panther/alligator hybrid). He views himself as the best [[Animal trapping|animal trapper]] of the swamp and believes anything in it is his property, including students who sneak in. Due to Randy trying to hide his identity when they first met, Booray knows him as "Ranginald Bagel." In "Bring Me the Head of Ranginald Bagel," Catfish Booray told Hannibal McFist and Willem Viceroy about the identity of the Ninja unaware that the real Ranginald Bagel exists. In the post-credits of "Randy Cunningham: 13th Century Ninja," Catfish Booray finds a Chaos Pearl that fell to the swamp 800 years ago. The pearl shoots green stank into Catfish's eyes and shows the Sorcerer laughing and Catfish laughs too. In "Welcome Back Catfish," Catfish Booray arrives at Norrisville High where he poses as a substitute teacher so that the Sorcerer can control him into breaking the seal. This plot was thwarted by Randy when he got Catfish away from the school.

* '''The Sorceress''' (voiced by [[Jennifer Tilly]]) - The Sorcerer's girlfriend. She's a being of similar powers and appearance where the monsters she created from anyone she Stankifies are much different from the Sorcerer's monsters. They met eight hundred years ago while each causing chaos and misery and it was love at first fight. Together they were nearly invincible, but the original ninja managed to use their own powers to banish her to the Land of Shadows before imprisoning the Sorcerer. Knowing she might eventually return, the ninja used the Eye of Eternity as the lock for his prison, believing her inability to see true beauty would make her unable to locate it. In Randy's time, she returned but had somehow lost the bulk of her power. Nevertheless, she disguised herself as a beautiful high school student named Amanda Levey, and put a love spell on all the boys in her class. Then she had them go hunt for the most beautiful thing in the school, which led to Randy showing her the eye's location. She then attempted to free the Sorcerer but was once again defeated by having her powers used against her. She escaped and vowed she would return once she regained her full power. Her primary stank colors are pink and light blue. Although she can take a form that humans find beautiful, her stank based powers cause her to be unable to hide her awful smell. She returned by luring all the students of Norrisville High into what was supposedly a club, until she revealed her self and made everyone she lured her prisoners. Howard led the prisoners to an escape route while Randy battled the Sorceress. She planned to send him to the Land of Shadows only for Randy to push her into the portal and send her back to the Land of Shadows.

Unfortunately for him, the ninja at the time was Mac Antfee who locked Dickie in the freezer instead of fighting and freeing him so that he wouldn't miss prom. Inadvertently released by Randy, Dickie was De-Stankified only to discover he had been frozen for over twenty five years. Believing he had lost his beloved "Tawny" forever, he became depressed and was quickly Re-Stankified by the Sorcerer. But Randy managed to reunite him with Miss Zingwald. This magically freed him from the stank and aged him to how old he should have been by that point, allowing him to live happily with his love.

* '''Terry McFist''' (voiced by [[Steve Zahn]]) - Hannibal McFist's [[hippie]] big brother and the true heir to McFist Industries. Because he doesn't feel like being a businessman and his father used to tell him he wasn't a businessman, Terry signed a document every year allowing Hannibal to run business on his behalf. In "Fart-Topia", Randy learned of this fact and (as the Ninja) convinced Terry to take over. Unfortunately, Terry's idea of wind power was using farts. When it turned out cows couldn't produce enough wind, Terry had his robots abduct people to use theirs. After being defeated by the ninja, Terry decided to, once again, allow Hannibal to run business as his proxy.

* '''First Ninja''' (voiced by [[Joel McHale]]) - The First Ninja was the last ninja from the Norisu Nine who became the first Norrisville Ninja and trapped the Sorcerer underground.
