Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja is an American animated television series, created and executive produced by Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas.[1] It is produced by Titmouse, Inc., and Boulder Media Limited. Many of the character designs were supplied by Jhonen Vasquez, creator of Invader Zim.[2] The series premiered on September 17, 2012 on Disney XD.[1][3][4]

Plot

A town called Norrisville has been protected by a ninja for 800 years, but what the citizens of Norrisville don't know is that a new ninja is selected every four years. Randy Cunningham, ninth grade teenager, is the next ninja. Now, Randy must protect Norrisville from the evil plans of the Sorcerer and Hannibal McFist.[1][3]

Characters

Main Characters

  • Randy Cunningham (voiced by Ben Schwartz[1][3]) - A 9th grade kid and the main protagonist of the series who is chosen to be the next ninja. He and his friend Howard love video games as seen in the series preview. Randy tries to find out new things about the ninja suit by reading a book that came with it called "The Ninja-Nomicon". Randy is also in a band with his best friend Howard Weinderman called "30 Seconds to Math" a parody of the band "30 seconds to Mars", in which he plays the keytar. Randy is possibly a good singer. Randy is the type of kid who's usually not very smart, and he tends to ignore the good advice of the Ninja-Nomicon. However, he's not bad with riddles, and there's a possibility that he is better in science than he thinks, he's just very lazy. Randy sometimes thinks of himself as a ladies' man. He frequently misuses his powers and weapons, such as using smoke bombs to pull practical jokes or using his ninja sword to settle a bet.
  • Howard Weinerman (voiced by Andrew Caldwell[1][3]) - Randy's best friend. 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.

Villains

  • The Sorcerer (voiced by Tim Curry[1][3]) - The primary antagonist of the series. The Sorcerer is the evil one that wants to destroy the ninja. This one-time master of the dark arts 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. He does this by turning the most vulnerable people in school into rampaging monsters. If he creates enough chaos, he could break free from his prison 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.
  • Hannibal McFist (voiced by John DiMaggio[1][3]) - The secondary antagonist of the series. Hannibal McFist is the owner and CEO of McFist Industries which makes or owns just about everything. 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 "The Bathroom Stall On the Left", it is shown McFist doesn't always have complete control over his mechanic arm.
  • Willem Viceroy III (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson[1][3]) - 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 - 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: which revealed that he opted to lock a stankified student 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. 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.

Other characters

  • Heidi Weinerman (voiced by Cassie Scerbo[1][3]) - Howard’s older sister, and the host of "Norrisville High's #1 Me-Cast: Heidi@School!" She’s tall, beautiful, popular and on the cutting edge of pretty much everything. In "30 Seconds to Math" she is shown to be a fairly talented singer. She often gets Randy's name wrong, constantly calling him every other name that rhymes with Randy except Randy itself.
  • Theresa Fowler (voiced by Sarah Hyland) - A Norrisville High student who has an interest in baton twirling. She has shown an indication that she might have a crush on Randy as seen in "Der Monster Klub".
  • Debby Kang (voiced by Piper Curda) - A Straight A student who has an obsession for Mexican death bears thinking them as "very cute" and can get over-excited when hearing about them. She can also speak fluent Spanish thanks to a CD.
  • Morgan (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) - The leader of "Dancing Fish", Morgan is a dancer with a sassy attitude and a smug voice.
  • Marci McFist (voiced by April Stewart) - The wife of Hannibal McFist and mother of Bashford Johnson. Though she is aware that her husband does supervillain-based activities, she is blissfully unaware that her son is the biggest bully in school even when she and Hannibal are often called in by Principal Slimovitz.
  • Bashford "Bash" Johnson (voiced by Dave Wittenberg[1][3]) - A school bully and McFist’s stepson, the Norrisville High Crushin’ Carp quarterback, and a Grade-A jerk who thinks he’s the king of the school. What Bash lacks in intelligence, he makes up for in fists.
  • Principal Slimovitz (voiced by Jim Rash[1][3]) - The principal of Norrisville High School. A recurring theme that happens in episodes that he appears in is that his car is always destroyed by Randy as "The Ninja" when he fights monsters at school. After school, he acts as a baby cowboy wearing nothing but a ten gallon hat, training pants, and a holster ("After school is ME TIME!").
  • Marilyn Driscoll (voiced by Megan Mullally[1][3]) - Randy and Howard's 9th grade science teacher who's smart, but out there and is often seen talking with her husband Jerry Driscoll's skeleton with bad ventriloquism. In "Dawn of the Driscoll", it's revealed her deceased husband Jerry was a mad scientist who tried to build a doomsday device which didn't go well.
  • Stevens - The trombone player in the school's marching band, he always wears sunglasses and hardly talks except when he plays the sour tone on his trombone which he has on him even when out of band uniform. In "The Tale of the Golden Doctor's Note", he always gets out of gym, because he has a doctor's note.
  • Julian (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) - A Gothic Student who is seen wearing a purple tophat, a purple suit and sports vampiric features such as teeth. He speaks sometimes in Old English or in third person, even monologues of gothic rituals. He seems to admire death and torture, even his hat, but when he was in danger, he revealed that he was lying. Like a stereotypical goth, he can be seen popping out in any site mostly in dark areas to spook the people. He also does a flamboyant creepy giggle at times when excited. Howard thinks of him as a freak. In "Der Monster Klub," it is revealed that Julian plays a dangerous game that purposely turns him and his fellow club members into monsters when humiliated which he gracefully enjoys their destruction very much, even so much as begging "the ninja" not to stop them by grabbing on to his legs two times.
  • Bucky Hensletter (voiced by Scott Menville[1][3]) - A student who always get bullied by Bash and plays the triangle. He is shown to be vulnerable enough to be turned into a monster by the Sorcerer constantly. He has a crush on Flute Girl and even wrote a song for her. Bucky is a sort of recurring character as he's always shown in nearly every episode. He seems to love his triangle so much that he breaks out into a one man band and does a "triangle solo".
  • Flute Girl (voiced by Grey DeLisle[1][3]) - Nerdy girl who plays the flute in the schools marching band. She is shown not to share the same feelings as Bucky does for her, though she does seem to be his friend.
