"Lyrics to Go" is a song by [[A Tribe Called Quest]] from their third album [[Midnight Marauders]]. The song uses electric guitars and heavy drums with a melody in the back. It samples "Just Enough Room for Storage" by James Brown, "Inside My Love" by Minnie Ripperton, and "Mixed Up Cup" by Clyde McPhatter. "Lyrics To Go" was supposed to be the group's fourth single but was not released. On the Hits, Rarities, and Remixes compilation, a remix was made by [[Ali Shaheed Muhammad]] and Tumblin' Dice. A remix was used to promote the game NBA 2K7.

'''''Robot Chicken''''' is an [[Emmy]] award-winning [[United States|American]] [[stop motion]] [[list of animated television series|animated comedy television series]] created by [[Seth Green]] and [[Matthew Senreich]], who are the [[executive producer]]s. They are also on the writing team, and have directed some episodes. Green provides many voices for the show.

The program is a [[sketch show]] that [[parody|parodies]] a number of [[Popular culture|pop culture]] conventions using [[stop motion]] animation of [[toy]]s, [[action figure]]s, [[doll]]s, and [[claymation]] (usually for special effects) and various other objects, such as tongue depressors and [[Game of Life]] pegs. The show's name was inspired by a dish on the menu at a [[West Hollywood]] [[American Chinese cuisine|Chinese]] [[restaurant]], Kung Pao Bistro, where Green and Senreich had dined, although the series originally was intended to be titled "''Junk in the Trunk''".<reF>http://www.g4tv.com/screensavers/episodes/3902/Robot_Chicken_Constantine_Dark_Tip.html</reF>

The show is produced by [[Stoopid Monkey]], [[ShadowMachine Films]], [[Williams Street]], and [[Sony Pictures Digital]], and currently airs in the US as a part of [[Cartoon Network]]'s [[Adult Swim]] block, in the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] as part of [[Bravo (channel)|Bravo]]'s [[Adult Swim#United Kingdom|Adult Swim]] block, in Canada on [[Teletoon (Canada)|Teletoon]]'s [[Teletoon (Canada)#The Detour on Teletoon and F-Night|Detour]] block, in [[Australia]] on [[Comedy Channel]]'s Adult Swim block and in [[Latin America]] on the [[Cartoon Network]]'s block Adult Swim. It premiered on Sunday, [[February 20]] [[2005]].

The series was renewed for a 20-episode third season, which started on [[August 12]], [[2007]]. The ''Robot Chicken'' Season Two DVD was released [[September 4]], [[2007]].

==Inspirations==
[[Image:Robotchicken.jpg|thumb|left|"[[Kindergarten Cop|It is not a tumor]], it's not a tumor at all."]]
The show was inspired by the comedy antics of ''[[Twisted Mego Theatre]]'' (now called ''[[Twisted ToyFare Theater]]''), which appears monthly in [[Gareb Shamus|Gareb Shamus's]] ''[[ToyFare]]'' magazine. Matthew Senreich worked in various capacities with [[Wizard Entertainment]] prior to working on the show. Many figures and sets are custom built, although commercially available toys such as G.I. Joe or Barbie and vehicles, such as the General Lee from the ''Dukes of Hazzard'', are sometimes used.

''Robot Chicken'' often uses extremely outrageous and twisted humor. One recurring segment is "Hilarious Bloopers", a parody of the [[Bob Saget]] era of ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]'' featuring the host constantly moving around in various exaggerated, spastic motions. Unlike that show, this skit ends with the host using various household methods of suicide. The show tends to avoid political issues, instead mocking pop culture, referencing toys, films, television, and popular fads. When political figures are depicted on the program, the focus of their appearance is usually only tangentially-related to recent news, a parody of their personal foibles, or their positions in world affairs (such as [[Fidel Castro]]'s ''[[Dance Dance Revolution|Dance Dance Counter-Revolucíon]]'' video game competition from Season Two and President [[George W. Bush]] fantasizing he is a [[Jedi]]). One particular motif often involves the idea of fantastical characters being placed in a more realistic world or situation (such as [[Stretch Armstrong]] requiring a corn syrup transplant, [[Optimus Prime]] performing a prostate cancer [[Public Service Announcement|PSA]], and [[Godzilla]] having problems in the bedroom). The program even had a 30 minute episode dedicated to ''[[Star Wars]]'' which premiered [[June 17]], [[2007]] in the US featuring the voices of Star Wars notables [[George Lucas]], [[Mark Hamill]] (from a [[Vegetable Funfest|previous episode]]) and [[Ahmed Best]].

The show's theme song was composed and performed by [[Les Claypool]] of [[Primus (band)|Primus]], and he sings the song's only lyrics, "It's alive!", in typical [[Frankenstein]] fashion. The ending theme of the show is a portion of the famous [[Muzak]] named "The Gonk" (famously used in George A. Romero's 1978 horror film ''[[Dawn of the Dead]]'') clucked by a chorus of chickens, which are actually the crew members.

''Robot Chicken'' is currently the highest rated original show in [[Adult Swim]] and the second highest in the network (right after ''[[Family Guy]]''.) <ref>[http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=20353 Toon Zone - Your Source for Toon News!]</ref>

==Opening sequence==
The opening sequence, which is the only part of the show that includes a [[robot]] [[chicken]] (with the exceptions of "[[The Black Cherry]]" and the [[Christmas Special (Robot Chicken episode)|Christmas Special]]), is as follows:

A [[mad scientist]] finds a [[roadkill|road-killed]] chicken and takes it back to his laboratory, where he transforms it into a cyborg. He then straps it into a chair, uses [[Speculum (medical)|specula]] to hold its eyes open , and forces it to watch a bank of television monitors (an allusion to ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]''); this scene [[segue]]s into the body of the show.

In the "[[Star Wars (Robot Chicken episode)|Star Wars Special]]", the opening is changed to mimic [[Anakin Skywalker]]'s transformation into [[Darth Vader]] as depicted in ''[[Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith]]'', with the mad scientist in the role of [[Darth Sidious]] and the chicken as Anakin/Vader.

Many of these are people that Seth Green has worked with in the past on other projects or that he knows personally.{{Fact|date=August 2007}} [[Williams Street]] executives [[Mike Lazzo]] and [[Keith Crofford]] have also lent their voices to the show on occasions revolving around season premiers.

==Awards==
The show won an Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation in 2006 and 2007 and was a nominee for the 2007 [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming less than One Hour)]] for the episode [[Lust for Puppets]].

This is referenced in the episode "[[Slaughterhouse on the Prairie]]", when Seth Green claims that the episode was a minute short and spun the "Wheel of Ideas" to determine the ending of the show. The wheel's choices were "farts", "retards", "balls", and "ironic satire with clever subtext", and although it landed on the latter, the last minute consisted of "farting retards getting kicked in the balls". After this sequence, an [[intertitle]] identified the show as "Emmy award winning", while admitting that "The Emmy wasn't for writing".<ref>http://tv.ign.com/articles/834/834424p1.html</ref>

One particular segment that featured the [[Teen Titans (TV series)|Teen Titans]] meeting [[Beavis and Butt-head]] was omitted from the DVD due to legal problems. The Voltron/"You Got Served" sketch shown on the DVD has a replacement song due to legal issues over having the song that was used on the TV. At a performance of ''Family Guy Live'' in Chicago, during the Q&A session that ends each performance, Seth Green was asked how they came up with the name ''Robot Chicken''. He explained that the title of each episode was a name Adult Swim rejected for the name of the show.

==References outside the show==
On an episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'' entitled "[[Blue Harvest (Family Guy)|Blue Harvest]]," at the end of the story [[Chris Griffin]] (not coincidentally voiced by ''Robot Chicken'' creator Seth Green) accused [[Peter Griffin|Peter]] (not coincidentally voiced by ''Family Guy'' creator Seth MacFarlane) of stealing the [[Star Wars]] special idea from the Robot Chicken Star Wars special. This sparks a discussion in which Peter himself denigrates and insults ''Robot Chicken'', and Chris calls him "a real jerk!" and runs out of the room quickly.

'''''Team Galaxy''''' is an animated series made by [[Marathon Production]]. It blends anime-inspired 2D animation with CG elements, and is set at "Galaxy High" (not to be confused with the school in the [[1980]]'s animated series of the same name), where a [[trio]] of young [[student]]s try to balance their regular teenage lives and their [[training]] to become Space Marshals. The concept and animation style is similar to that of both ''[[Totally Spies!]]'' and ''[[Martin Mystery (animated series)|Martin Mystery]]'', other series created by the same production company.

''Team Galaxy'' is co-produced by a number of international broadcasters, such as [[France 3]] which was the first to begin airing the full series from [[28 August]], [[2006]]. In the [[US]], [[Cartoon Network]] paid Marathon about $16-$17 Million for 52 episodes, for a premiere in Fall 2006. It also appears on Canada's [[YTV (TV channel)|YTV]] and on the weekend children's show Toonattik in the UK.

==Students==

===Yoko===
A 15-year- old karaoke-loving wannabe pop singer (who can't carry a tune) and sees Galaxy High as just a step on her way to stardom. Her main weapon is her sonic blaster. Yoko's terrible singing is a running gag in the show, and despite how bad it is, she wins many interstellar competitions with it (Aliens take her voice as music while Josh and Brett start crying in pain.) Often, Yoko is distracted on missions when a talent competition, or something that could boost her carrier pops up. Her desire for stardom and fame often lead to her capture or place the group in danger. She does have feelings for Josh.

===Brett===
A 10-year-old headstrong genius, who despite his brilliance feels restricted by his young age. He uses his own personal computer to control the hornet, to analyze DNA, and to use Gluefoam. In addition, he hates to be called a "kid". Brett takes missions more seriously then Yoko and Josh, and often scoffs when the two leave to shirk their mission. He is the most sensible of the group, but due to his young age, and fun loving partners, he is often ignored. He is often used by Josh to do homework for him or for selfish reasons.
The character's hairstyle is very similar to that of [[Son Goku]], protagonist of [[Dragon Ball]] and [[Dragonball Z]], except coloured blond, with the points tending to curve upwards rather than down [although not to such an extreme degree as Goku's '[[Super Saiyan]]' form]. Besides this, the sixe and placement of indivudual spikes is almost exactly the same.

===Josh===
A rebellious 16-year-old adrenaline-junkie, who prefers space training to classroom theory. He mostly fails his classes but succeeds on his missions. He is afraid of water after a childhood incident involving him losing his swimming trunks, but has since overcame it after facing it head on. He prides himself on being a professional slacker, and always seems to be in trouble with the principal – who also happens to be his father. But for all his wild stunts, Josh’s independent thinking is a perfect fit for the team. Although he repeatedly said he wants to be out of ''GH'', he has never really mean it! Josh is a wild, stunt junkie who often shirks missions and compensates with exciting stunts or games. He has feelings for Yoko, and often has to save her when she is in trouble, screaming, "I'm comin' Yo!" before he charges in after her.

===Bobby===
One of Josh's rivals from Galaxy High. He is by far the most competitive student and with his high grades and sharp skills (and big ego), he isn’t shy about telling everyone who’s the top gun on campus.

===Spavid===
The only survivor of his home planet, Merthoz. He was on the original alien craft that came to earth to warn them of the Dark Force which threatens their existence. His knowledge and experience are invaluable to the school.

===Orion and Andromeda===
Orion and Andromeda also known as the twin brother and sister Ryan and Andi. They are from outer space, but on Earth they are known as "global citizens".

===Toby===
Always out to prove that she is the toughest student on campus. She always has to be the center of attention – which annoys Yoko, but captivates Josh.

===Kimball===
Kimball is a princess. Her privileged upbringing has made her a bit unfriendly and she often looks down on the other students.

===Seth===
A talented musician and Yoko's love interest.

==Teachers==

====Principal Kirkpatrick====
A former Commander of a military academy who was brought in to be Principal at Galaxy High. His strict disciplinarian attitude is often met head on by his son Josh – who is determined to get on his last nerve. He also has a jolly personality amid his usual strict demeanor. He cares a lot about Josh's team and Josh, of course! He is also afraid of speaking to large crowds, but has since overcame his fears after reading Yoko's book, about overcoming stage fright. Captain Smith is also his long time buddy.

====Mrs. Schragger====
The school's astronomy teacher and her unusually acute sense of hearing and vision it makes cheating and chatting in her classroom utterly impossible.

====Mr. S (Spzoerscliipw’)====
The team's most favorite teacher, despite his unattractive physical appearance by human standards.

====Mr. Fitch====
A fast-talking space cowboy who is head of showing new equipment for Marshals. Infamous among the students for assigning huge amounts of homework.

====Ms. Roskoff====
An ex-Russian Cosmonaut who teaches Space Investigation Training. She is the school’s most athletic instructor.

==UltraPets==
On the first day of school at Galaxy High, each student is assigned a pet-robot that serves as an aide and companion to them. Although they’re cute, if provoked the Ultrapets can transform into a powerful fighting machine and, in the blink of an eye, can immobilize an alien foe upon its master’s orders.

===Fluffy===
Josh's ultrapet, a cute robotic dog which helps the students throughout their missions. He is capable of transforming into a bipedal attack mode.

===Spike===
Spike is Toby's ultrapet

==Plot==
"Team Galaxy" is about a group of friends who try to balance both their school work and their free time. The three protagonists: Josh, Yoko, and Brett are few among the students of a school called "Galaxy High"; a galactic justice empower authority, which defends the galaxy against criminality. In addition, the school teaches subjects suitable for these types of missions which their students endure through.

==Episodes==
{{main|List of Team Galaxy episodes}}

''Team Galaxy'' is currently in its second season. It has 52 episodes, with a third season said to be in production and in development.

==Technology==
===Galaxy High===

====Hornet====
:The standard issue mission ship for interplanetary travel. Loss of a Hornet means expulsion from Galaxy High unless it is recovered.

Elsewhere, Conan, Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi, and Dr. Agasa are going on a skiing trip, and take a bus to get there.

|JapaneseTitle = Hōtei no Taiketsu: Kisaki tai Kogorō (Zenpen)
|OriginalAirDate = [[2002-01-14]]
|ShortSummary = Ran and Conan attended a court session where Eri Kisaki won another case. Expecting to go for a celebratory dinner together, Ran was disappointed when Kisaki had to go and attend a pro bono case to defend a man accused on a murder charge. Three years before, the victim had killed the suspect's only son in a drunk driving, and had managed to get off lightly.

The suspect was unhelpful and insisted he could not remember what happened the evening of the crime when he encountered the victim by chance at a hotel.

Kisaki, with the help of Ran and Conan, tracked down the suspect's estranged wife to the eatery she was running. They were surprised to see Mori Kogoro turning up. Not only was the eatery one of Kogoro's watering hole, they learned that he was present there the night of the murder.

Upon questioning, it appears that Kogoro could provide alibi for the accused, who also turned up the same evening at the eatery. Kogoro's evidence was based on the time shown on his mobile, when he was woken up from his drunken nap by the proprietress to receive an incoming call.

Conan however, noticed that Kogoro's mobile was always kept in his coat which was always hung on a rack when he patronised the eatery. He also noticed that it was the proprietress who brought the ringing phone to him when he was in a drunken stupor.

Shortly, the prosecutor, Reiko Kujo, had a meeting with Kogoro in the eatery and Conan suspect Kujo must have perceived the same thing he did.

|ShortSummary = Kogoro's evidence for the suspect's alibi was put into doubt by Reiko Kujo during the court hearing, turning him unwittingly from the defendant's witness to the prosecutor's witness.

Anxious to make up to Kisaki, Kogoro conducted his own investigation, after obtaining the suspect's residential address from Takagi. Conan went along and came across a matchbox in the suspect's home, taken from the eatery.

Reviewing the case notes, Kogoro realised what actually happened, but it took Conan's help to establish a convincing case during the court hearing to reveal the truth.

Kisaki won the case and was proposing a dinner with Kogoro outside the courtroom, but the latter who just woke up from the effects of the tranquilizer dart, was distracted by a beautiful female passer-by.

The proprietor had been discovered dead by his son-in-law and the building superintendent, who witnessed from the eyehole of the inner office door the taking place. The superintendent went to call the police while the son-in-law knocked the door open.

According to the charges, the suspect forced the victim to open the safe, where a large sum of cash was discovered missing, and subsequently fled through the window. The suspect admitted the burglary attempt, hitting the victim, but denied stealing the money.

During the first hearing, Kisaki discovered the reason why the prosecution pressed for the murder charge - the victim had once cheated the daughter of the suspect.

Ran persuaded Kogoro to investigate to help Kisaki defend the suspect.

The star of the show revealed himself to be very disagreeable with the rest of the cast, one of whom, {{Nihongo|'''Ruri Amaki'''|雨城琉璃|Amaki Ruri}} turned out to be a fellow classmate of Kogoro when they were children.

Ruri revealed to Ran and Conan who were present that she, Kogoro, and Kisaki, were classmates since kindergarten. Ran and Conan learned that the brainy Kisaki and the underachiever Kogoro seemed inexplicably drawn to each other, to quarrel. As the other classmates suspected, time showed that the arguments were intended to disguise their mutual attraction.

The star challenged Kogoro to solve the mystery of the murder scene being filmed. To prevent Kogoro from embarassing himself, Conan used the tranquilizer dart on Kogoro and cracked the puzzle with the clues present.

During a break in the filming, the star was discovered with his throat slit, with Ruri over the body and her hands bloody.

"'''Return of the King'''" is the ninth episode of the [[Adult Swim]] [[animated television series]] ''[[The Boondocks (TV series)|The Boondocks]]''. It originally aired on on [[Martin Luther King, Jr.|Martin Luther King, Jr.'s]] birthday: [[January 15]], [[2006]]. The episode's name was taken from the ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' volume ''[[The Return of the King]]''. It won a [[Peabody Award]] in 2006.

==Plot==

The episode begins with two quotes, the first being:

{{cquote|I want young men and young women who are alive today to know and see that these new privileges and opportunities did not come without somebody suffering and sacrificing for them.}}
::-[[Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.]]

And the second:

{{cquote|Whatever, nigga.}}
::-[[Anonymous]]

[[Huey Freeman]] tells an alternative version of history regarding the "attempted" [[Martin Luther King, Jr.#Assassination|assassination]] of Martin Luther King. Instead of dying, he falls into a [[coma]] in which he remains for 32 years, waking up significantly aged in a hospital bed on [[October 27]], [[2000]]. He shows up to vote for the [[United States presidential election, 2000|2000 U.S. presidential election]], but is "turned away due to [[United States presidential election in Florida, 2000#Irregularities|voting irregularity]]". While walking along a city street which happened to bear his name, gunshots go off, causing the gathered crowd to flee. He thus learns that "streets named after him weren't the very safest."

King experiences a resurgence of popularity, obtaining a book deal and agreeing to a [[Biographical film|biopic]] of his life (starring [[Cuba Gooding, Jr.]] as King). The movie is directed by [[Oliver Stone]],"pissing off" [[Spike Lee]] (a reference to Lee's anger that [[Norman Jewison]] was initially supposed to direct ''[[Malcolm X (film)|Malcolm X]]'') Unfortunately, the movie is released the week of the [[9/11]] attacks, making it a flop. Soon after, King appears on ''[[Politically Incorrect]]'', stating that his [[Christianity|Christian]] faith teaches him to "[[turn the other cheek]]", even with respect to enemies such as [[Al-Qaeda]]. Even though McGregor would not admit it, this is seen as a direct stab to President Bush's choice of actions regarding "The War on Terrorism"(if America where truly a Christain Nation, it would follow the Christain decree of turning the othering cheek like Jesus did, instead of retaliating with brute force). His commentary receives severe scorn from the [[White House Press Secretary]], [[CNN]] and ''[[Time (magazine)|Time Magazine]]'', and causes his popularity to plummet.

At his vacant [[book signing]], King meets Huey and Robert Freeman, the latter of whom he is acquainted with from the [[African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955-1968)|Civil Rights era]] (it is later revealed in the episode that Robert Freeman participated in the [[Montgomery Bus Boycott]] with [[Rosa Parks]], but was completely ignored). Learning that he is staying in a [[Holiday Inn#Holiday Inn Express|Holiday Inn Express]] ("I feel smarter already"), the Freemans invite Dr. King to dinner and to sleep at their house. Later that night, Huey and King, while watching television, express their disgust with the state of black popular culture.

The next day, Huey persuades King to try to reach out to the public again. While eating at a McWuncler's, a parody of [[McDonald's]] (where King guiltily admits to having an affinity for the [[McRib]]), Huey convinces him that the two of them should start a [[political party]], although King is insistent that Huey should get [[Oprah Winfrey|Oprah]] to do so instead. King appears on a television show to explain the philosophy of his new party, but finds himself unable to expound due to frequent interruptions from the fast-talking, curt, right-wing host (voiced by [[Jim Meskimen]]). Right before a commercial break, Huey rushes the stage after throwing a chair at the host, beating him on camera. Afterwards, King and Huey settle on spreading their message the old-fashioned way: through flyers and door-to-door solicitation.

The goal of their party is further disrupted when King hires an "urban promotions firm" to advertise the party's planning meeting, which advertises it on an [[FM broadcasting|FM radio]] [[pop music]] station as a "party." As a result, dozens of young black people arrive at the [[church]] and begin behaving as though it were a club. A [[Bouncer (doorman)|bouncer]] (voiced by [[DJ Pooh]]) prevents Huey and King's entrance, insisting that they must bribe him, which they do. Upon entering, they are stunned by the unrestrained behavior of the reveling crowd and are shocked to find that the podium has been taken over by a series of [[Rapping|rappers]], [[Televangelism|televangelists]], and other superficial black pop culture icons. King, managing to get to the podium, tries to quiet the crowd by appealing to the audience's sense of brotherhood. He fails. Suddenly becoming fiercely impassioned, he proclaims, "WILL YOU IGNORANT [[Nigga|NIGGAS]] ''PLEASE'' SHUT THE HELL UP?!" The crowd is shocked.

King then goes on to ask: "Is this it? ''This'' is what I got all those ass-whoopings for?" He continues to refer to the audience repeatedly as "niggas" out of apparent frustration that the current generation of black people have willfully assumed the negative racial stereotypes associated with them. He goes on a tirade, attacking specific elements of black popular culture such as [[Black Entertainment Television]], [[Usher (entertainer)|Usher]], and ''[[Soul Plane]]''. King concludes his speech by saying, "I've seen what's around the corner, I've seen what's over the horizon, and I promise you, you niggas have nothing to celebrate! And no, I won't get there with you. I'm going to [[Canada]]".

King thanks Huey, advising him to "do what he can." Media exposure of his speech causes black citizens to become angry with their situation, creating an uprising similar to those of the [[1960s]]. The episode concludes with a mob of enraged, young black men and women screaming at the gates of the [[White House]], cursing an unnamed presidential administration. Several news channels report that all black members of the [[NBA]] are sitting the season out until "troops are withdrawn", that drop-out rates among African-American youths have suddenly plummeted, and that [[Robert L. Johnson]] issued a public apology for founding BET. Finally, the front page of a newspaper from [[2020]] is shown, revealing that King has died in [[Vancouver]] at 91 and, furthermore, that [[Oprah Winfrey|Oprah]] has been elected president.

Huey concludes the episode with these words: "It's fun to dream."

==Controversy==
"Return of the King" was the most controversial episode of ''[[The Boondocks (TV series)|The Boondocks]]'s'' first season. The episode received criticism from [[Al Sharpton]] for depicting Martin Luther King Jr. using the epithet "nigger". He demanded an apology from [[Aaron McGruder]] and [[Cartoon Network]], stating "Cartoon Network must apologize and also commit to pulling episodes that desecrate black historic figures. We are totally offended by the continuous use of the n-word in McGruder's show."

Cartoon Network replied by releasing a statement saying "We think Aaron McGruder came up with a thought-provoking way of not only showing Dr. King's bravery but also of reminding us of what he stood and fought for, and why even today, it is important for all of us to remember that and to continue to take action."<ref name=Cartoon_Network_response>[http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2006-01-25-sharpton-boondocks_x.htm?POE=LIFISVA USATODAY.com - Sharpton criticizes 'Boondocks' for showing King saying the n-word]</ref> McGruder himself responded to Sharpton's criticism in [[The Boondocks (comic strip)|The Boondocks comic strip]], by having the characters ridicule Sharpton's choice to attack a cartoon over other, possibly more relevant issues. The characters in the strip never specify the cartoon to which they're alluding.<ref name=Cartoon_1>http://picayune.uclick.com/comics/bo/2006/bo060206.gif</ref><ref name=Cartoon_2>http://picayune.uclick.com/comics/bo/2006/bo060207.gif</ref><ref name=Cartoon_3>http://picayune.uclick.com/comics/bo/2006/bo060208.gif</ref><ref name=Cartoon_4>http://picayune.uclick.com/comics/bo/2006/bo060209.gif</ref>
The incident was also referenced on the show, in the episode "[[The Block is Hot]]." While Huey listens to an internet radio station, the broadcaster mentions that Al Sharpton is in the media again, this time complaining about a "cartoon", again, not specifying the cartoon to which the broadcaster is referring. This was likely a last minute addition, as that episode first aired less than two months following the incident.

==Cultural references==
{{Refimprovesect|date=January 2008}}
* Dr. King's climactic speech at the end of the episode is from the lyrics of [[Unspoken Heard|Asheru]]'s song "Niggas<ref name=Asheru_niggas_lyrics>[http://www.sweetslyrics.com/537991.ASHERU%20-%20Niggas.html Asheru's Niggas Lyrics]</ref>".
* The Lyrics to Asheru's song "Niggas" hints at reference and ideas from the Last Poets song "Niggas are Scared of Revolution."
* A running gag from the Boondocks strip (in which Huey angrily attacks [[Usher (entertainer)|Usher]] and [[Justin Timberlake]] for copying [[Michael Jackson]] by screaming Michael Jackson is a musician, not a genre of music) is featured in this episode.
* After the host is done berating Dr. King during his interview, he tries to go to a commercial, saying, "We'll be back with more [[fair and balanced]] coverage..." He is then cut off, as Huey throws a folding chair at the host from off screen then attacks and pummels him in frustration. This is a reference to the [[FOX NEWS]] channel's slogan of "fair and balanced" coverage.
* King's argument about the war in [[War on terrorism|Afghanistan]] mirrors how he felt about [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]], and the media responses are the same.

{{nihongo|'''Shusuke Fuji'''|不二周助|Fuji Shūsuke}} is a fictional character in the [[anime]] and [[manga]] ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]''. His name is romanized as '''Syusuke Fuji''' in the Japanese anime, and ''Shusuke Fuji'' in the English manga and Anime.

== Background ==
Shusuke Fuji is a third year student at [[Seishun Gakuen|Seishun Academy]], and is approaching fifteen years of age at the beginning of the series. He is given the title 'tensai', or genius, due to his tactical skill on the tennis court. He is in the same class as [[Eiji Kikumaru]], and is Eiji's good friend. Fuji is a leap year baby (his birthday is on February 29), and thus he can only properly celebrate his birthday once every four years. Fuji is cheerful and easygoing, with a penchant for playfully teasing those around him.

He grew up in [[Chiba, Chiba|Chiba]], where he became friends with [[Saeki Kojirou|Kojirou Saeki]], the current vice-captain of the Rokkaku Chuu Tennis Club. Later on, he moved to [[Tokyo]] and entered Seigaku.

Fuji usually takes the position of S2 (Singles 2), although sometimes he is paired with [[Takashi Kawamura]] or [[Eiji Kikumaru]] in Doubles. He also temporarily takes the position of Singles 1 when [[Kunimitsu Tezuka]] is in rehabilitation.

==Personality==
Fuji is often seen with a calm and content expression on his face, with his eyes seemingly closed from lightly smiling. However, when he is excited or provoked, or when playing seriously, Fuji reveals his sharp eyes: they are blue in the anime and light brown in the manga.

Fuji differs from almost every other character in Prince of Tennis in that he seems very relaxed and in control when his opponent is pushing himself to the limit, giving many the impression that Fuji is either a genius who knows how to save his energy during plays, or that he doesn't really care about tennis itself. There are few people that can wake the sleeping all-star player in Fuji and force him to play seriously, and these few are either nationally-ranked or extremely talented tennis players. Seigaku captain [[Kunimitsu Tezuka]], Seigaku regular [[Ryoma Echizen]], and Shitenhouji captain [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] have been acknowledged by Fuji to be actual challenges.

Fuji has an older sister, Yumiko, and a younger brother, [[Yuuta Fuji]]. Fuji is particularly protective of Yuuta (probably to make up for former disagreements that almost brought them apart), as is displayed throughout the series, as he actively tries to "destroy" and punish those who have defeated his younger brother or have made him go through something dangerous (as proved by how differently he treats Jiroh Akutagawa from [[Hyotei Gakuen|Hyoutei]] and Hajime Mizuki from [[St. Rudolph Gakuen|Saint Rudolph]]; he holds no personal grudge towards Jiroh, who won fairly against Yuuta, but resents Mizuki for a long time after seeing how he treated his brother as someone expendable to ensure his team's victory), with the exception of the aforementioned Jiroh and Ryoma Echizen.

Yuuta isn't also the only person he's been protective of in this sense; in the anime, he is very upset when [[Kippei Tachibana]] is injured in his match against [[Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku]] regular [[Akaya Kirihara]] (In the manga, Ryoma is the one who is injured). He is also upset when Akaya Kirihara insults the two schools (Seigaku and [[Fudomine Middle School|Fudomine]]); Kirihara says that both teams have retired captains because they aren't practicing (this is due to Seigaku captain Kunimitsu Tezuka and Fudomine captain Tachibana both being injured). When Seigaku is down 1-2 in the Kanto finals against Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku, he engages in a serious match with Akaya Kirihara, who plays a fairly violent form of tennis. Kirihara injures Fuji's knee and knocks over an already injured Tachibana (who arrives to encourage Fuji); thanks to this and the fact that Tezuka is also absent due to injury, Fuji becomes serious and goes on to win the match. According to what Fuji's sister, Yumiko, tells Hajime Mizuki and Yuuta, Fuji never gets angry about what happens to him, but when his family or friends are in danger, he doesn't hold back and attacks with full seriousness.

Fuji is fairly popular amongst his peers. In one episode, he goes on a date with Kurumi, grade schooler who falls in love with him in first sight, thinking of him as a prince of sorts. Despite his penchant for jokes and pranks off-tennis, Fuji can be insightful and even sweet when his friends need it; during his date with little Kurumi, when she reveals that she has low self-esteem since she feels overshadowed by her beautiful older sister Narumi, Fuji helps her to sort their problems out, seeing his own situation with Yuuta reflected in the sisters' quarrels.

Along with Tezuka, Fuji is possibly the only person on the entire Seigaku team who is immune to [[Sadaharu Inui|Inui Sadaharu]]'s various concoctions. However, while Tezuka only appears unaffected and does not state what he thought of the concoctions, it has been a running gag in the story that Fuji actually "likes" those drinks and will recommend others to it too. While he may occasionally intentionally fault in practice in order to try the penal concoctions, he has also mentioned that he enjoys seeing others suffer from drinking the concoctions even more. He is, however, not immune to "Aozu", a horrific blue vinegar and cod liver oil concoction; this drink causes his only blackout, and since then Inui has believed that Fuji has a grudge against him. His odd tastes in food do not stop at Inui's gruesome health drinks, and he takes delight in wasabi rolls, honey-mustard and horseradishes.

At times, Fuji tends to act like Eiji Kikumaru--he wants to win and to be number one. In one episode, there is mixed club day at his school. On this day, the students are not allowed to play the sport that they are in. For example, the "Golden Pair", Eiji Kikumaru and [[Shuichiro Oishi]], plays volleyball. Fuji plays curling, which no one else plays. His words are, "No participants; the championship is mine."

Prior to the National Tournament, Fuji plays a practice match against [[Fudomine Middle School|Fudomine Chuu]]'s Tachibana, who breaks each of Fuji's Triple Counters (Only Higuma Otoshi was shown on-panel. Tachibana used a powerful smash to overwhelm Fuji's counter, where instead of the return landing on the baseline, the return landed in front of Tachibana. Fuji's gut on the racket was also ruined as a result of the smash). Realizing that his counters are not enough for a national-level tournament, Fuji then develops his 4th Counter, the "Kagerou Zutsumi" (Dragonfly Illusion). However, during Seigaku's Nationals semifinal match against Shitenhouji's [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]], Fuji suffers his first loss in an official match, when he makes a comeback from 0-5 thanks to his evolved Triple Counters only to lose 6-7 during tiebreak, when his final Hakuryuu lands out. This is the first time that any of his teammates have seen Fuji so disappointed in the outcome of the match.

== Special techniques ==
===Counters===
Sometimes called the "Three Counter Moves" (or more often called the Triple Counter), since the "Kagerou Zutsumi" (a counter announced by Fuji as the Fourth Counter) and the "Disappearing Serve" are sometimes not counted as one of them. Game sealing returns, the counters are techniques that could only be pulled off by a ''genius'' like Shusuke Fuji. Each counter has a very low chance of being returned.

Later on in the series, during the National Finals, Fuji develops upgrades for the Triple Counters.

====Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Return)====
（燕返し）

The first of Fuji's counters to be shown. Fuji utilizes his opponent's topspin by returning the ball with an extreme slice. The slice combines with the topspin and causes the ball to dip toward the ground and continue rolling across the court without a bounce. This counter is legendary in that once it is hit, the game is sealed. However, the Tsubame Gaeshi can be returned if it is hit before it touches the ground.

During his doubles match with Eiji Kikumaru against Rokkaku regulars, Kojiro Saeki and Marehiko Itsuki, Fuji's counters are sealed because Itsuki can hit "sinkers", which are balls without spin. Fuji attempts to create spin by rolling the ball against the face of the racket, but the Tsubame Gaeshi that results bounces and is fully returned. Fuji then utilizes the net and forces Itsuki to hit cord balls (balls that hit the net before going in), which forces the ball to spin; and with that on top of rolling the ball with his racket, he manages to pull off a perfect Tsubame Gaeshi.

He again resorts to forcing the opponent to hit cord balls when he faces Arnold Ignashov during the Goodwill Games.

This counter's name is based on the famous sword technique of [[Sasaki Kojiro]].

====Higuma Otoshi (Bear Drop)====
（羆落とし）[[Image:Clash 01.gif|right|thumbnail|260px|''The Higuma Otoshi'']]

By quickly rotating his body, Fuji uses centripetal force to absorb the force of any overhead smash; he then returns the ball with a lob that almost always lands on the opponent's [[baseline]]. This technique is also used by [[Hyotei Gakuen|Hyotei]]'s Yuushi Oshitari and Keigo Atobe (Excluding the fact that Kevin Smith, from the U.S Team in the Anime can also use it).

This counter is broken first by [[Ryoma Echizen]], who used the net to change the trajectory of his smash, therefore altering the position of Fuji's lob. Higuma Otoshi is broken a second time when the gut of Fuji's racket is broken by the "awakened" [[Akaya Kirihara]] using [[Genichirou Sanada]]'s "Ka" of the "Fuu Rin Ka Zan" in the manga, and then it is broken a third time by [[Kippei Tachibana]]'s Lion Smash. Both Kirihara and Tachibana's smashes overpower the centrifugal force used to nullify the force of a smash. In the first round of the National Tournament, the shukuchi technique of Higa Chuu renders the counter useless, as Higa players can move from the baseline to the net and vice versa in "one step". Most recently, in the semifinal match of the Nationals, Fuji's Higuma Otoshi is broken by [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]]'s powerful smash that knocked away his racket.

This is also referred to as the Brown Bear.

====Hakugei (White Whale)====
（白鯨）

Possibly the most impressive of Fuji's counters, the Hakugei is a super slice lob with such extreme backspin that as soon as it passes over the net on to the opposite court it curves upwards out of sight, than it falls straight down (usually on the baseline), and it flies back to Fuji's hand. Fuji used this technique in order to counter [[Hyotei Gakuen|Jiroh Akutagawa]]'s "Magic Volley". However, he needs wind to use the Hakugei.

Hakugei can be returned if the opponent is fast enough to hit the ball as it flies back to Fuji's hand, as shown by Akaya Kirihara and his one-footed split step. Fuji can also change the direction of the ball after it hits the opponents court either to go with the direction of the wind or to lessen the chance of a return. Fuji changes the direction in his match against Tezuka Kunimtsu, Tezuka waited at the net in front of the ball so to return it to Fuji's court but Fuji adapts and the ball instead flies into the net away from Tezuka.

====Kagerou Zutsumi (Dragonfly Illusion)====
（蜉蝣ずつみ）

Using both hands, Fuji brings his racket down in an overhead swing that both contains and nullifies all spin on the ball. The ball is then returned devoid of spin, and gives the other player the illusion that the ball is farther than it actually is.

This counter is first revealed in Seigaku's first doubles match with Kawamura against Higa Chuu in the National tournament. Higa regular Rin Hirakoba employs a technique called "Habu", which gives the ball such incredible spin that it cannot be returned by any normal means. Fuji's Kagerou Zutsumi seals Hirakoba's "Habu", and later on Fuji's partner [[Takashi Kawamura]] returns the Habu with his Hadokyuu.

====Houou Gaeshi (Phoenix Return)====
（鳳凰返し）

One of the 3 upgraded techniques of the triple counter in the match against [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] in the Nationals. Houou Gaeshi is the upgraded version of Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Return). Unlike Tsubame Gaeshi, Houou Gaeshi sank at a higher rate and closer to the net, thus making it much harder to return.

====Kirin Otoshi (Kirin/Qilin Drop)====
（キリン落とし）

One of the 3 upgrade techniques of the triple counter in the match against [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] in the Nationals. [[Qilin|Kirin]] Otoshi is the updated version of Higuma Otoshi (Bear Drop). Not much has been shown of this perfected technique, only that is was not able to be returned by Shiraishi. His arms moves more towards the front like a bat in reverse from swinging the racket behind him like the Higuma Otoshi. The only visible difference from this technique is that Fuji uses two hands to repel Shiraishi's smash rather than the one handed "Bear Drop". (In the anime it also reached the opponent's baseline much faster than Higuma Otoshi)

====Hakuryu (White Dragon)====
（白竜）

One of the 3 upgraded techniques of the triple counter in the match against [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] in the Nationals. Hakuryu is the updated version of Hakugei (White Whale). Unlike Hakugei, Hakuryu rose much higher into the sky. Instead of spinning backwards to Fuji, the ball will bounce towards the sides.

Interesting note:
When he first hits this shot, it bounces back not towards him, but sideways towards Ryoma. Ryoma, though not expecting it, catches the ball.

====Hecatoncheires no Monban (Gate Keeper of Hecatonchires)====
（へカトンケイルの門番）

The final counter, Gate Keeper of [[Hecatoncheires]], is actually translated to "The Hundred Armed Giant", but this is a title from Greek Mythology, and thus kept with the name "Gate keeper of Hecatoncheires". Using the reverse side of the racket, Fuji uses the slide of the oncoming ball over the gut and forcing a super spin to the ball. Then by instantaneously reversing his wrist and using the other side of the racket, he doubles the spin yet again. Under the super spin of this technique, [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] was sealed from returning the ball over the net, whether he used a lob, slice, or even top spin, the ball would just hit the net. However, he manages to overcome it and break this counter by creating a counter-spin on the ball just strong enough for the ball to go beyond the net.

Fuji later states that the "Gate Keeper of Hecatoncheires" is not his final counter.

===Serves===
====Disappearing Serve====
Otherwise known as a "cut-serve", but because Fuji spins the ball as he drops it, the ball disappears. While not as fast or powerful as most serves, many players are caught off guard by the way the ball abruptly "cuts" to the left (the returner's right) and in a sense "disappears". Fuji first used this move when facing Jirou Akutagawa from [[Hyotei Gakuen]].

====Knuckle Serve (anime only)====
This move is shown when Fuji is playing Akaya Kirihara from Rikkaidai. Due to the fact Fuji is angry, he uses the Knuckle Serve to take revenge.This serve is more like the twist serve, but before the user throws the ball in the air, the user squeezes the ball first. Its direction can only be seen by the one who served it.

== Notable matches ==
===Jirou Akutagawa===
Shusuke Fuji started the match by performing the ''Disappearing Serve''. [[Hyotei Gakuen#Jirou Akutagawa|Jirou Akutagawa]] becomes excited after witnessing the serve and decides to get serious. Fuji hits the serve for the rest of his service game, and Jirou fails to return the ball the entire time. During Jirou's service game, he serves the ball and suddenly approaches the net. Fuji aims for Jirou's foot, but Jirou was able to volley it. Though others believe it was just a lucky return, Jirou does it again when Fuji aims for Jirou's foot for the second time. The match continues and Jirou wins his service game. During Fuji's service game, he prevents Jirou from going to the net and manages to win the game. Fuji later manages to to win three straight points during Jirou's service game. Jirou tries to counter by approaching the net right after using a flat serve. When Fuji returns the ball, Jirou takes the chance to smash it, but Fuji uses his ''Higuma Otoshi'' to take the point. When Jirou approaches the net right at the beginning of the next game, Fuji uses his third counter, ''Hakugei''. From there, Fuji manages to dominate and win the match with a 6 to 1 score.

===Akaya Kirihara (anime version)===
Fuji starts off the match with his Disappearing Serve. [[Akaya Kirihara]] fails to return the Disappearing Serve three times in a row, however, on the fourth try, Kirihara was able to hit it, but the ball hits the net, so Fuji wins the game. During Kirihara's service game, he hits a ''Twist Serve'', but it was evaded by Fuji. After Kirihara fails to win a few points from Fuji, he activates his ''Devil Mode''. He then hits a drop shot, and Fuji returns it, but Kirihara smashes the ball and hits Fuji's knee, which he does twice, subsequently winning him the game. Kirihara then uses his Knuckle Serve, which hits Fuji's head. Due to the pain in his knee, Fuji loses three straight games.
Kirihara continues to use this strategy, until Tachibana comes to encourage Fuji. When Kirihara tries to hit Tachibana with a Knuckle Serve, Fuji gets angry. Fuji then uses the Knuckle Serve himself, which scares Kirihara since he believes that Fuji is aiming for him. Due to Kirihara's fear, Fuji manages to win that game. When Kirihara's fear grows, he steps back, which causes him to get hit on his knee. Believing that Fuji hit his knee on purpose, Kirihara is paralyzed by his fear, which results in Fuji winning the last few points with service aces.

===Akaya Kirihara (manga version)===
Fuji started off the game by going on the offence, which everyone was surprised at, considering that Fuji's real forte is in his counter techniques. After Fuji won the first point with a smash, Kirihara went into devil mode and started using Echizen Ryoma's split-step to force Fuji into the corner, which Fuji countered by using the Hakugei. Using the split-step, Kirihara was able to run up to the ball and smash the ball back, only for Fuji to return the ball with a Higuma Otoshi, winning the game 1-0 without reply. After a brief flashback of Fuji and Kunimitsu Tezuka having a conversation after Fuji's match against Ryoma, Fuji was shown to be leading 2-0. Another brief flashback of Tezuka's match against Atobe Keigo, which made Fuji decide to start playing seriously. Kirihara injures Fuji with a smash that knocked Fuji's racket off and Fuji was blinded by the injury subtained as a result of Kirihara hitting the ball to Fuji's head during the match. After that, Fuji continues playing while being still blinded and told coach Ryuzaki that he is not backing down. With the score 3-0 before that, Kirihara managed to win 4 straight games and mocked Fuji, saying that Fuji was playing fine even when he was blinded and said that it was pure luck that Fuji returned the ball. Fuji then returned the balls hit and everyone was shocked that Fuji can still play so well even when he was blinded. Fuji won the next 2 games before Kirihara unconsciously went into Muga no Kyouchi, giving Fuji a run for it and only managed to win the last point by using the side of his racket after Kirihara broke his racket with Sanada's Kaa technique. The match ended with Fuji winning 7 games to 5.

===Kunimitsu Tezuka (anime only)===
During Seishun Gakuen's inter-school match-ups, [[Kunimitsu Tezuka]] and Shusuke Fuji are pitted against each other. Fuji dominates at first and easily wins the first game, however, the next game is won by Tezuka in no time because Fuji had difficulty returning Tezuka's serves. Fuji tries to counter by using his [[Shusuke Fuji#Counters|Triple Counters]], but everyone is surprised when Tezuka seals Fuji's Triple Counters in one play. The match continues and Tezuka dominates at 4 games to 1. Fuji becomes serious and his shots begin to change as he displays improved Triple Counters. As Fuji begins to dominate the match, Tezuka responds by using smashes that hit the net, which seals Fuji's improved Higuma Otoshi. During the match point, Tezuka smashes, but Fuji had predicted his hit already and uses his Higuma Otoshi. When the ball passes Tezuka, Fuji believes that he has won, but Tezuka, while in mid-air, quickly switches his racket to his right hand, and uses the Tezuka Zone, which allows him to hit his Zero-Shiki Drop shot. Tezuka wins with a score of 7 games to 6.

===Kuranosuke Shiraishi===
During the National Semifinals, Fuji is pitted against [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] in Singles 3. It is the first time that Shiraishi's ''Perfect Tennis'' was shown.

In the first half of the match, Shiraishi was completely dominating because of his perfect playing style. Fuji's Disappearing Serve was the first technique to be sealed by Shiraishi's Perfect Tennis. Fuji`s infamous Triple Counters were also useless against Shiraishi`s tennis style, so he took the lead with 5 games to 0.

At the start of the second half, Fuji receives encouragement from [[Ryoma Echizen]]. With that, Fuji recovers and starts to play aggressively. After Fuji takes his first point, he displays his upgraded Triple Counters and even his Final Counter. With those, Fuji takes the lead with 6 games to 5. Before Fuji's [[Point (tennis)|match point]], Shiraishi nearly returns Fuji`s Final counter. The next time Fuji uses his Final Counter, Shiraishi was able to return the technique with a cord ball. Fuji continuously hits the Final Counter, but Shiraishi returns them all.

In the end, after Fuji's final Hakuryuu landed out, Shiraishi wins with 7 games to 6, being the first person to ever beat Fuji in an official singles match.

== Trivia ==
*Fuji is the middle child of the Fuji family. His unnamed father is a foreign-based employee, and is never seen in the series. His mother, 49-year-old Yoshiko, who also has perpetually-closed eyes, is seen in the manga as a kind and dedicated Japanese housewife. Fuji's elder sister, 24-year-old Yumiko, is considered very attractive and is popular among both Fuji and Yuuta's friends. She is seen several times in both the anime and the manga, first appearing when she offers to give Fuji a ride home.

*In the Japanese original, both Fuji and his sister Yumiko is voiced by [[Yuki Kaida]]

*In the Valentine Chocolate specials from the manga, Fuji has constantly been in the top three recipients of chocolate, with the exception of the years 2005 and 2006.

*Fuji's counters are based on animals: Tsubame Gaeshi: [[Swallow]], Higuma Otoshi: [[Brown Bear]], Hakugei: [[Whale]], Kagerou Zutsumi: [[Dragonfly]].

*When Fuji "evolves" his three Triple Counters, their new names are based on mythical creatures: Houou Gaeshi: [[Phoenix (mythology)|Phoenix]], Kirin Otoshi: a [[Qilin]] (which looks somewhat like a [[Chimera (mythology)|Chimera]]), Hakuryuu: [[Dragon]].

*The kanji for Fuji (不二) stands for 'not second', 'unparalleled', or 'peerless'. His name can also be seen as a bit of a pun when his hobbies and favorite foods are taken into account; [[Fujifilm]] is the world's largest photographic and imaging company, and one of Fuji's hobbies is [[photography]]. Fuji apples are a type of apple, and they are one of Fuji's favorite foods.

*Fuji's room has a built-in wall closet, a rocking chair with a tartan cushion, and a [[Gramophone record|gramophone]]-type audio device.

*In a scene of Prince of Tennis, Fuji can be seen watching [[Rocky]], the motion picture, which he borrowed from his brother, [[Yuuta Fuji|Yuuta]].

*Fuji carries a copy of Antoine Saint-Exupery's ''[[The Little Prince]]'' in his bag. The brand of his racket is also 'Prince'.

*In a chibi episode and in TeniPuri family, Fuji is portrayed as a woman, playing off on his somewhat feminine looks. In the TeniPuri family episodes, he is the sweet yet impulsive Grandmother of the family and is often paired up with Tezuka, who plays the Grandfather. In the other Tenipuri chibi episode, settled in the Far West, he plays a [[damsel in distress]]-type girl searching for a Lone Gunman who later turns out to be Tezuka.

*Fuji is one of the few male characters in the anime who is voiced by a female voice actor. Others being [[Ryoma Echizen]], [[Kintarou Tooyama]] of Shitenhouji, Taichi Dan of Yamabuki, Youhei and Kouhei Tanaka of [[Jyosei Shonan]], and Seiichi Yukimura of [[Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku]]. However, Ryoma, Kintarou and Taichi are first years (thus younger and more naturally voiced by a female seiyū) while Fuji and Yukimura are third years.

*Although Fuji has five counters, in the match against Shirashi, his set of counters is still called "Triple Counter".

*Fuji evolved all 3 of his original counters, and his Final Counter's name was derived from Greek Mythology.

*In the manga canon, Fuji's full potential is drawn out by Ryoma, when the younger boy steps into the court in the middle of the Fuji vs Shiraishi match and encourages Fuji to give the match everything he's got.

* Fuji seems to be one of few Seigaku Regulars (along with [[Shuichiro Oishi]] and [[Ryoma Echizen]]) who is genuinely close to [[Kunimitsu Tezuka]], the captain of the tennis club. As such, he and Tezuka are often seen together. In the anime, this is because when they were first years, they developed a mutual respect for each other. Eventually, Fuji challenged Tezuka to a match, but right before the match, Tezuka's arm was injured, and Tezuka lost the match. However, Fuji noticed Tezuka's injury, and they promised to play each other again once Tezuka's arm healed fully. This promise is eventually fulfilled when they play each other in the third round of intraschool ranking matches. However, in the manga, there has yet to be an official match between Fuji and Tezuka.

==Actors==

* In the Anime series, Fuji's [[seiyū]] (or [[voice actor]]) is [[Yuki Kaida]].

* For the live-action adaptation film of [[The Prince of Tennis (film)|The Prince of Tennis]], actor [[Hiroki Aiba]] portrays Fuji.

* In [[The Prince of Tennis Musicals]], Fuji is portrayed by actors [[Kimeru]] (2003-2004), [[Takashi Nagayama]] (2003) and [[Hiroki Aiba]] (2005-current).

* In the English Anime series, Fuji is voiced first by [[Adam Lawson]], and later (from episode 31 on) by [[Johnny Yong Bosch]].

{{nihongo|'''Eiji Kikumaru'''|菊丸英二|Kikumaru Eiji}} is a fictional character in the [[anime]] and [[manga]] ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]''.

==History==
Eiji Kikumaru is a third year student at [[Seishun Academy Middle School|Seishun Academy]] (Seigaku). He is in the same class as Shusuke Fuji and also happens to be one of his good friends.

He is part of [[Seishun Academy Middle School|Seigaku's]] "Golden Pair" along with [[Shuichiro Oishi]]. Using his acrobatic play he can return almost any ball, even those that seem out of human reach. Eiji is also known to have the sharpest vision on the team, with an exceptional talent for seeing moving objects. This proves to be both a strength and a weakness, especially when matched against St. Rudolph's team captain Akazawa. Other than his well known style of acrobatic play, he has his own signature smash move called " Kikumaru Beam;" which is essentially a very high behind-the-back smash that is launched either at the corner of the opponent's court, or directly at the opponent.

Though the Golden Pair seldom play without each other, Eiji has been paired with his friend [[Shusuke Fuji]], Seigaku's genius, to form the Dream Pair, as well as forming a makeshift pair with [[Takeshi Momoshiro]]. In the Nationals story arc of the manga, Eiji plays singles after Oishi gave his spot to [[Ryoma Echizen]]. He says that if Oishi will not be his partner, that he refuses to play doubles anymore. After his first match against [[Higa Middle School]], however, he proclaims that playing singles tennis is "too lonely," and the Golden Pair becomes a team again.

Eiji's main weakness is a lack of stamina, which he overcomes through hard work and training later on in the series. His main rival is [[Hyotei Gakuen]]'s Gakuto Mukahi, another acrobatic player who is extremely light and surpasses him in acrobatic play.

Although Oishi and Eiji get along very well and the two together form the famous "Golden Pair," they do have their disagreements. When Momoshiro was dropped from the Regulars and stopped attending practice, Eiji was making jokes that Oishi found insensitive. Eiji then made fun of the fact that Oishi's shirt was inside out causing the co-captain to snap and slap Eiji, pushing him across the courts. The Golden Pair stopped talking to each other until Momoshiro returned to team practices.

The Golden Pair met in their first year at Seigaku. In the manga, Eiji was a flashy singles player and found Oishi's play style boring. When he challenged Oishi to a match, he lost and couldn't figure it out. Retreating to the green bins at the park - a place the Golden Pair always go to when they need to think things over after losing a match - he saw Oishi practicing there. Eiji then told Oishi he would play doubles with him until he was able to defeat Oishi at tennis. In the anime, Eiji met Oishi by bumping into him in his first day of school after Shusuke told Eiji that Oishi was a nice person, then developed quickly a strong admiration towards him (he even defended Oishi when he found some teammates spreading ill rumors about him), and finally asked Oishi to be his partner.

During their match against Masaharu Niou and Hiroshi Yagyuu from Rikkaidai Fuzoku, Oishi (who at that time was injured) thinks Kikumaru has already surpassed him and doesn't need to play doubles with him anymore. After Oishi gives up his spot to Ryoma prior to the Nationals and temporarily retires, Eiji is left without a partner; he swears that he'll never play doubles again if not with Oishi, therefore he starts a very rigorous training to overcome his flaws as a player and prove to Oishi that he's not a burden. In Seigaku's first match against [[Higa Chuu]], he plays in the Singles 2 spot against Kai Yuuichirou, and eventually wins 7-6. During the match against Hyoutei, Eiji and Oishi are back as a doubles pair.

He is a friendly, sweet-tempered and outgoing character and the youngest of a large family. So unlike most of the characters, Eiji is usually referred to by his given name.

Eiji is also shown to be very playful, as proven when he helps Tomo-chan and Sakuno-chan cheer for Ryoma during his match against Reiji Shinjou using a special chant and in Episode 91, when he impresses the neighborhood kids with his acrobatic skills on Rakkaku's playground.

When playing games, most characters' concentration are broken up by attention and pressure. But Eiji loves the attention and actually focuses much more when he's being cheered on.

== Partnership ==
Although it looks as if Eiji is the one who controls the flow of the doubles matches the audience see when the "Golden Pair" play (due to his flashy style and the fact that Eiji is the one who gets the ball the most), people often mistake him as the game maker. However, Oishi is the one who is the game maker. In their game against Yamabuki, Eiji asks Oishi if they can start to attack their opponents. By doing so, it indicates that Oishi is the game maker in their combination as Eiji likes to play at the net while letting Oishi control the flow of the game. Later, Eiji matures as a doubles player during his Doubles 2 match with [[Takeshi Momoshiro|Momoshiro]] against Hyotei, when Eiji learns that being a game maker is more difficult than he realized and appreciates Oishi's role in their partnership. During the match against Hyotei Gakuen he then realizes as Momoshiro's senpai, he must learn to be the game maker and give up his usual net play, in order to defeat Hyotei and help Momoshiro control the flow of the game.

==Playing Style - Special Attributes==
One of the most vibrant and flashy characters in Prince of Tennis, Kikumaru is renowned for his acrobatic play and his upbeat personality. He is, by nature, a doubles tennis player, but he has shown that he is a more than capable singles player if needed.

=== Acrobatic Play ===
Not just for flash, Kikumaru's flexible body allows him to reach balls with a touch of flair that few can replicate. His graceful dives and flips astonish the spectators and often gets grudging praise from his opponents.
=== Motion Vision ===
Kikumaru's eyes are so sharp that he can even catch the minute movements of a ball in motion. This is first shown after Inui is off the regulars, and becomes the team's trainer. During the training session, Eiji's vision is commented on by his fellow teammates. Though this ability has been used against him (see the doubles match against Saint Rudolph's Yoshirou Akazawa and Ichirou Kaneda), it is definitely a plus as it allows Kikumaru to react faster and keep up his acrobatic play, and as an observer he can see the ball and mention details such as when Ryoma plays against Jyosei Shonan's Reiji Shinjou. (anime only) Also, it is shown when Ryoma plays against Fuji in a practice match.

=== Net Play ===
When Kikumaru's up at the net he usually controls the game. With Oishi at the baseline, this pair can make plays that earns them the title of the "Golden Pair".

=== Kikumaru Beam ===
The Kikumaru Beam is a sharp volley that is hit in the air by Kikumaru with his right hand on the backhand side of his body, pinpointing the ball to the place where the opponents are not standing.

=== Moon Volley ===
Though this is Oishi's move, Kikumaru uses this to both help Momoshiro and himself to both mature and gain the flow of the match during the game against Hyotei Gakuen Doubles 2.

=== Kikumaru Bazooka ===

Kikumaru spins high up in the air and fires off a powerful smash while also shouting out "Kikumaru Love"

=== Kikumaru's Seal Step ===

Kikumaru uses his natural flexibility and speed to move from one location to a new one the moment the opponents eyes leave his first location. This gives the opponent the impression that there are two of him for a doppelganger type effect. The anime exaggerates this more than the manga giving Kikumaru the ability to high five and hug his doppelganger making it slightly supernatural. Where as in the manga it is all about Kikumaru using his speed at the right moments for an illusion. Revealed during the match against [[Saeki Kojirou]] and Itsuki Marehiko of Rokkaku.

=== "Feigned Sleep" Attack ===

When playing against Kaneda and Akazawa, Eiji ran out of energy and stood still for 2 games, finally scoring a point against his opponents when they thought they had won. In the end, however, Seigaku lost the match because Eiji's 'battery ran out', making him so thoroughly exhausted that Oishi had to help him leave the court, as he could not walk on his own.

=== Synchronization ===

When playing in the nationals with Oishi as his doubles 1 partner, they become fully syncronized and moved as if they were one.

== Trivia==
{{trivia|date=May 2007}}
* Eiji is the youngest of five siblings. He has two older brothers and two older sisters. He also lives with his mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, and his sister's dog and his mom's parakeet, making a grand total of eleven members in the household. His name, however, means 'excellent second son'.

* Eiji acts like a cat, which shows in his acrobatics and how he likes to tack a "Nya" (the Japanese [[onomatopoeia]] for a [[Cat communication|cat's meow]]) at the end of his sentences. This is especially evident in the chibi episodes where in the TeniPuri Family stories he is the family's pet cat.

*Eiji calls Ryoma "Occhibi", "little guy" in the dub, while the others call him Echizen.

==Actors==
* In the Anime series, Eiji's [[seiyū]] (or [[voice actor]]) is [[Hiroki Takahashi]].
* For the live-action adaptation film of [[The Prince of Tennis (film)|The Prince of Tennis]], actor [[Osamu Adachi]] portrays Eiji.
* In [[The Prince of Tennis Musicals]], Eiji is portrayed by actors [[Yamazaki Ichitaro]] (2003), [[Takashi Nagayama]] (2003-2004), [[Osamu Adachi]] (2005-2006) and [[Koji Seto]] (2006-current).
* In the Philippine Dubbed version a college student dubbed his voice. His voice actor is Neil Bayawa.

{{nihongo|'''Takeshi Momoshiro'''|桃城武|Momoshiro Takeshi}} is a fictional character in the [[anime]] and [[manga]] for [[The Prince of Tennis]]. In the anime, Momoshiro is also known as Momo.
----

==History==

Momoshiro is known as Seigaku’s number one rascal. He really wants to be liked by everyone, which is evident by his preference to be called "Momo-chan," even by the freshmen. As a compromise, some of the freshman call him "Momo-chan-senpai" while the third years call him by "Momo."

At the beginning of the series, he played an unfinished match with [[Ryoma Echizen]] (He did this to see the twist serve), though Momoshiro was injured at the time. Later, they become best friends and even doubles partners for once. Momoshiro's signature move is the "dunk smash," a very powerful response to lobs as he leaps several feet into the air, which he likes to finish off saying, "Don," upon landing. He later develops the "Jack Knife," a strong backhand shot.

Momoshiro is an aggressive baseliner. For a short time, he is cut from the regulars, after losing to Inui and Tezuka during Seigaku's 2nd monthly ranking matches. He takes being cut pretty hard and doesn't show up to practices for three days, leading the first years to think that Momo has quit the club. Instead of going to practice, he spent his time playing street tennis; however, as he plays a match with [[Ann Tachibana]], a good friend of his, he realizes his flaws as a tennis player and that in order for him to become stronger, he needs to stop underestimating his opponents. It is during this time that Momoshiro's importance to Seigaku as a team is revealed.

As the player who is the most open and friendly with everyone, Momoshiro is connected to everyone on the team on some level. And as such, he's one of the few members on the team that everyone seems to care about, which is why his disappearance affects all the regulars in some way. Momo being cut from the team even leads to the temporary break up of the Golden Pair and even Eiji notes how practices are not the same without Momo around. Although Ryoma, in particular, seems unconcerned about Momo being cut from the team, in reality, he is worried about Momoshiro and goes looking for him during lunch period; a moment that reveals both how important Momo's friendship is to Ryoma and how important Momo is to Seigaku. Thus, when Momoshiro returns to practices, all seems right with the team again, although Tezuka punishes him for missing practice by making him run a record high of 100 laps. This is also when Momoshiro as a character is revealed in that Momo doesn't worry about taking himself too seriously and despite being cut from the team, he is determined to support and cheer his teammates on as they face Hyotei in the Regionals.

Yet, Momoshiro ends up having to play a serious part again, almost instantly, when Oishi gets injured and doesn't show up for the match against Hyotei. Momoshiro's character is further revealed as he shows courage by first attempting to relieve Oishi from the hospital as quickly as possible and then, by being the one to take Oishi's place as Eiji's partner. Up until this point, Momoshiro is still a novice at playing doubles. But in one of Momoshiro's finest moments, he not only helps Eiji win the match against Hyotei, but takes the opportunity to master doubles with Oishi's quickly-given advice. Momoshiro shows that he is not only one of the most adaptable people in Seigaku, but he's also a player and a friend who always gives 100% and comes through for his teammates. Even Inui has noted that Momoshiro's ability to overcome hurdles is amazing. He then is able to remain as Regular on the team when Tezuka has to leave the team to recuperate from his injury from his match with Hyotei's Atobe.

As Momoshiro is the closest to a true friend [[Ryoma Echizen]] can claim, the two spend much time together eating [[hamburger]]s or playing street tennis. Unlike Echizen, who is absolutely clueless as a doubles player, Momoshiro develops an affinity for playing doubles and even masters it, despite expressing a preference for singles. Momoshiro is good at "faking out" his opponents, and can be extremely sly and tricky on the courts. His ability to read the opponent's movements and to observe their viewpoints and expression allow Momoshiro to read his opponent's mind, thus he is able to guess where the ball will go and use shots that will confuse his opponents; however, it's an ability that Momoshiro, himself, hasn't noticed yet. [[Kunimitsu Tezuka]], arguably one of the best tennis players in the middle-school circuit, has commented that when Momoshiro realizes his true potential as a tennis player, he'll be an extremely formidable and troublesome opponent.

Momoshiro and [[Kaoru Kaidoh]] are eternal rivals, and constantly try to out-do each other. Surprisingly enough, this makes them efficient as a doubles pair, because the two rivals know each other so well.

Before the National tournament, Momoshiro trained in the mountains, and as a result of his training he improved upon his natural "insight". While similar to Atobe Keigo's ability to see the weakness or potential of another player, Momoshiro's time in the mountains caused his insight to be related with nature, ex: the position of the sun, the direction of the wind, stray stones to deflect serves, etc.

==Special Tennis Moves==

===Bullet Serve===
It's a fast and powerful serve Momoshiro likes to use.

===Dunk Smash===
Momoshiro's signature move to finish off lobs; however, Momoshiro's Dunk Smash is different than normal smashes in that he uses the momentum from running to hit the smash, through perfect timing, by jumping forward, instead of the usual jumping backwards to hit a smash; thus causing Momoshiro's Dunk Smash to be twice as powerful and more effective than a normal smash.

===Jack Knife===
The Jack Knife is a fast, sharp and powerful high-leveled backhand shot made by using the front foot to jump into the air with balance while utilizing the weight of the body to achieve maximum strength. When Momoshiro uses the Jack Knife, he keeps the ball at his racket until the last moment to make it a strong shot. He uses this move to win his match against Yamabuki's Sengoku. It is noted in the anime that the Jack Knife is a move no ordinary junior high student can do, only professionals are able to use the move successfully, which makes Momoshiro especially formidable as he can use it.

It is shown that he is starting to do this shot during a practice match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]]

===Super Great Momoshiro Special/Super Dunk===
Similar to the "Dunk Smash"; however, "Super Dunk" is unique in that Momoshiro uses his strength to delay the timing of the ball's bounce after it has hit the ground, thus making predicting when the ball will bounce off the ground difficult. Momoshiro developed this shot during a practice match with Gakuto Mukahi of [[Hyoutei Gakuen]]. The name was changed from Super Great Momoshiro Special to Super Dunk because many were unhappy about the former.

This shot exists only in the anime.

===Tornado Snake===
One of the signature shots of his rival, [[Kaoru Kaidoh]], Momoshiro uses this shot during his and Kaidoh's match against Hitouji and Konjiki of [[Shitenhouji]], in order to cause them to think he and Kaidoh have switched places(they were wearing masks at the time).

===Insight===
Prior to the Nationals tournament, Insight is a skill Momoshiro unearths during his training in the mountains. He is able to sense the subtle changes in the atmosphere around him and use it to his advantage.

===Prediction===
During his match with Kurobane Harukaze and Amane Hikaru of Rokkaku Chuu in Doubles 2, Momoshiro was able to predict his opponent's moves and where the ball was going to land. He was able to recognize the ball was going to be out when they were playing for match point thus ultimately winning the match for Seigaku. That was shown during his match against Oshitari Yuushi. While playing Oshitari, Momoshiro gives up his "Prediction" style of playing and returns to his previous tenacious play style by playing at 100% and re-integrating his "Jack Knife" shot.

==Trivia==
* Momoshiro lives with his parents and two much younger siblings who are in elementary school.

* In the TeniPuri Family chibi episodes, Momoshiro is the second child of the family and younger "sister" to Ryoma. His name is Momoko and she's a tomboyish and mischievous girl with braids and pink dresses.

*"Takeshi" is also the first name of the Prince of Tennis creator, Takeshi Konomi.

==Actors==

[[Image:KajiMasakiasMomo.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[[Masaki Kaji]] as Momo, in the ''Prince of Tennis Musical Side Yamabuki'']]

* In the Anime series, Momoshiro's [[seiyū]] (or [[voice actor]]) is [[Masaya Onosaka]].

* For the live-action adaptation film of [[The Prince of Tennis (film)|The Prince of Tennis]], actor [[Masaki Kaji]] portrays Momoshiro.

* In [[The Prince of Tennis Musicals]], Momoshiro is portrayed by actors [[Moriyama Eiji]] (2003-2004), [[Masaki Kaji]] (2005-2006) and [[Shinpei Takagi]] (2006-current).

{{nihongo|'''Shusuke Fuji'''|不二周助|Fuji Shūsuke}} is a fictional character in the [[anime]] and [[manga]] ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]''. His name is romanized as '''Fuji Syusuke''' in the Japanese anime, and ''Shusuke Fuji'' in the English manga and Anime.

== Background ==
Shusuke Fuji is a third year student at [[Seishun Gakuen|Seishun Academy]], and is approaching fifteen years of age at the beginning of the series. He is given the title 'tensai', or genius, due to his tactical skill on the tennis court. He is in the same class as [[Eiji Kikumaru]], and is Eiji's good friend. Fuji is a leap year baby (his birthday is on February 29), and thus he can only properly celebrate his birthday once every four years. Fuji is cheerful and easygoing, with a penchant for playfully teasing those around him.

He grew up in [[Chiba, Chiba|Chiba]], where he became friends with [[Saeki Kojirou|Kojirou Saeki]], the current vice-captain of the Rokkaku Chuu Tennis Club. Later on, he moved to [[Tokyo]] and entered Seigaku.

Fuji usually takes the position of S2 (Singles 2), although sometimes he is paired with [[Takashi Kawamura]] or [[Eiji Kikumaru]] in Doubles. He also temporarily takes the position of Singles 1 when [[Kunimitsu Tezuka]] is in rehabilitation.

==Personality==
Fuji is often seen with a calm and content expression on his face, with his eyes seemingly closed from lightly smiling. However, when he is excited or provoked, or when playing seriously, Fuji reveals his sharp eyes: they are blue in the anime and light brown in the manga.

Fuji differs from almost every other character in Prince of Tennis in that he seems very relaxed and in control when his opponent is pushing himself to the limit, giving many the impression that Fuji is either a genius who knows how to save his energy during plays, or that he doesn't really care about tennis itself. There are few people that can wake the sleeping all-star player in Fuji and force him to play seriously, and these few are either nationally-ranked or extremely talented tennis players. Seigaku captain Kunimitsu Tezuka, Seigaku regular [[Ryoma Echizen]], and Shitenhouji captain [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] have been acknowledged by Fuji to be actual challenges.

Fuji has an older sister, Yumiko, and a younger brother, [[Yuuta Fuji]]. Fuji is particularly protective of Yuuta (probably to make up for former disagreements that almost brought them apart), as is displayed throughout the series, as he actively tries to "destroy" and punish those who have defeated his younger brother or have made him go through something dangerous (as proved by how differently he treats Jiroh Akutagawa from [[Hyotei Gakuen|Hyoutei]] and Hajime Mizuki from [[St. Rudolph Gakuen|Saint Rudolph]]; he holds no personal grudge towards Jiroh, who won fairly against Yuuta, but resents Mizuki for a long time after seeing how he treated his brother as someone expendable to ensure his team's victory), with the exception of the aforementioned Jiroh and Ryoma Echizen.

Yuuta isn't also the only person he's been protective of in this sense; in the anime, he is very upset when [[Kippei Tachibana]] is injured in his match against [[Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku]] regular [[Akaya Kirihara]] (In the manga, Ryoma is the one who is injured). He is also upset when Akaya Kirihara insults the two schools (Seigaku and [[Fudomine Middle School|Fudomine]]); Kirihara says that both teams have retired captains because they aren't practicing (this is due to Seigaku captain Kunimitsu Tezuka and Fudomine captain Tachibana both being injured). When Seigaku is down 1-2 in the Kanto finals against Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku, he engages in a serious match with Akaya Kirihara, who plays a fairly violent form of tennis. Kirihara injures Fuji's knee and knocks over an already injured Tachibana (who arrives to encourage Fuji); thanks to this and the fact that Tezuka is also absent due to injury, Fuji becomes serious and goes on to win the match. According to what Fuji's sister, Yumiko, tells Hajime Mizuki and Yuuta, Fuji never gets angry about what happens to him, but when his family or friends are in danger, he doesn't hold back and attacks with full seriousness.

Fuji is fairly popular amongst his peers. In one episode, he goes on a date with Kurumi, grade schooler who falls in love with him in first sight, thinking of him as a prince of sorts. Despite his penchant for jokes and pranks off-tennis, Fuji can be insightful and even sweet when his friends need it; during his date with little Kurumi, when she reveals that she has low self-esteem since she feels overshadowed by her beautiful older sister Narumi, Fuji helps her to sort their problems out, seeing his own situation with Yuuta reflected in the sisters' quarrels.

Along with Tezuka, Fuji is possibly the only person on the entire Seigaku team who is immune to [[Sadaharu Inui|Inui Sadaharu]]'s various concoctions. However, while Tezuka only appears unaffected and does not state what he thought of the concoctions, it has been a running gag in the story that Fuji actually "likes" those drinks and will recommend others to it too. While he may occasionally intentionally fault in practice in order to try the penal concoctions, he has also mentioned that he enjoys seeing others suffer from drinking the concoctions even more. He is, however, not immune to "Aozu", a horrific blue vinegar and cod liver oil concoction; this drink causes his only blackout, and since then Inui has believed that Fuji has a grudge against him. His odd tastes in food do not stop at Inui's gruesome health drinks, and he takes delight in wasabi rolls, honey-mustard and horseradishes.

At times, Fuji tends to act like Eiji Kikumaru--he wants to win and to be number one. In one episode, there is mixed club day at his school. On this day, the students are not allowed to play the sport that they are in. For example, the "Golden Pair", Eiji Kikumaru and [[Shuichiro Oishi]], plays volleyball. Fuji plays curling, which no one else plays. His words are, "No participants; the championship is mine."

Prior to the National Tournament, Fuji plays a practice match against [[Fudomine Middle School|Fudomine Chuu]]'s Tachibana, who breaks each of Fuji's Triple Counters (Only Higuma Otoshi was shown on-panel. Tachibana used a powerful smash to overwhelm Fuji's counter, where instead of the return landing on the baseline, the return landed in front of Tachibana. Fuji's gut on the racket was also ruined as a result of the smash). Realizing that his counters are not enough for a national-level tournament, Fuji then develops his 4th Counter, the "Kagerou Zutsumi" (Dragonfly Illusion). However, during Seigaku's Nationals semifinal match against Shitenhouji's [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]], Fuji suffers his first loss in an official match, when he makes a comeback from 0-5 thanks to his evolved Triple Counters only to lose 6-7 during tiebreak, when his final Hakuryuu lands out. This is the first time that any of his teammates have seen Fuji so disappointed in the outcome of the match.

== Special techniques ==
===Counters===
Sometimes called the "Three Counter Moves" (or more often called the Triple Counter), since the "Kagerou Zutsumi" (a counter announced by Fuji as the Fourth Counter) and the "Disappearing Serve" are sometimes not counted as one of them. Game sealing returns, the counters are techniques that could only be pulled off by a ''genius'' like Shusuke Fuji. Each counter has a very low chance of being returned.

Later on in the series, during the National Finals, Fuji develops upgrades for the Triple Counters.

====Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Return)====
（燕返し）

The first of Fuji's counters to be shown. Fuji utilizes his opponent's topspin by returning the ball with an extreme slice. The slice combines with the topspin and causes the ball to dip toward the ground and continue rolling across the court without a bounce. This counter is legendary in that once it is hit, the game is sealed. However, the Tsubame Gaeshi can be returned if it is hit before it touches the ground.

During his doubles match with Eiji Kikumaru against Rokkaku regulars, Kojiro Saeki and Marehiko Itsuki, Fuji's counters are sealed because Itsuki can hit "sinkers", which are balls without spin. Fuji attempts to create spin by rolling the ball against the face of the racket, but the Tsubame Gaeshi that results bounces and is fully returned. Fuji then utilizes the net and forces Itsuki to hit cord balls (balls that hit the net before going in), which forces the ball to spin; and with that on top of rolling the ball with his racket, he manages to pull off a perfect Tsubame Gaeshi.

He again resorts to forcing the opponent to hit cord balls when he faces Arnold Ignashov during the Goodwill Games.

This counter's name is based on the famous sword technique of [[Sasaki Kojiro]].

====Higuma Otoshi (Bear Drop)====
（羆落とし）

By quickly rotating his body, Fuji uses centripetal force to absorb the force of any overhead smash; he then returns the ball with a lob that almost always lands on the opponent's [[baseline]]. This technique is also used by [[Hyotei Gakuen|Hyotei]]'s Yuushi Oshitari and Keigo Atobe (Excluding the fact that Kevin Smith, from the U.S Team in the Anime can also use it).

This counter is broken first by [[Ryoma Echizen]], who used the net to change the trajectory of his smash, therefore altering the position of Fuji's lob. Higuma Otoshi is broken a second time when the gut of Fuji's racket is broken by the "awakened" [[Akaya Kirihara]] using [[Genichirou Sanada]]'s "Ka" of the "Fuu Rin Ka Zan" in the manga, and then it is broken a third time by [[Kippei Tachibana]]'s Lion Smash. Both Kirihara and Tachibana's smashes overpower the centrifugal force used to nullify the force of a smash. In the first round of the National Tournament, the shukuchi technique of Higa Chuu renders the counter useless, as Higa players can move from the baseline to the net and vice versa in "one step". Most recently, in the semifinal match of the Nationals, Fuji's Higuma Otoshi is broken by [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]]'s powerful smash that knocked away his racket.

This is also referred to as the Brown Bear.

====Hakugei (White Whale)====
（白鯨）

Possibly the most impressive of Fuji's counters, the Hakugei is a super slice lob with such extreme backspin that as soon as it passes over the net on to the opposite court it curves upwards out of sight, than it falls straight down (usually on the baseline), and it flies back to Fuji's hand. Fuji used this technique in order to counter [[Hyotei Gakuen|Jiroh Akutagawa]]'s "Magic Volley". However, he needs wind to use the Hakugei.

Hakugei can be returned if the opponent is fast enough to hit the ball as it flies back to Fuji's hand, as shown by Akaya Kirihara and his one-footed split step. Fuji can also change the direction of the ball after it hits the opponents court either to go with the direction of the wind or to lessen the chance of a return. Fuji changes the direction in his match against Tezuka Kunimtsu, Tezuka waited at the net in front of the ball so to return it to Fuji's court but Fuji adapts and the ball instead flies into the net away from Tezuka.

====Kagerou Zutsumi (Dragonfly Illusion)====
（蜉蝣ずつみ）

Using both hands, Fuji brings his racket down in an overhead swing that both contains and nullifies all spin on the ball. The ball is then returned devoid of spin, and gives the other player the illusion that the ball is farther than it actually is.

This counter is first revealed in Seigaku's first doubles match with Kawamura against Higa Chuu in the National tournament. Higa regular Rin Hirakoba employs a technique called "Habu", which gives the ball such incredible spin that it cannot be returned by any normal means. Fuji's Kagerou Zutsumi seals Hirakoba's "Habu", and later on Fuji's partner [[Takashi Kawamura]] returns the Habu with his Hadokyuu.

====Houou Gaeshi (Phoenix Return)====
（鳳凰返し）

One of the 3 upgraded techniques of the triple counter in the match against [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] in the Nationals. Houou Gaeshi is the upgraded version of Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Return). Unlike Tsubame Gaeshi, Houou Gaeshi sank at a higher rate and closer to the net, thus making it much harder to return.

====Kirin Otoshi (Kirin/Qilin Drop)====
（キリン落とし）

One of the 3 upgrade techniques of the triple counter in the match against [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] in the Nationals. [[Qilin|Kirin]] Otoshi is the updated version of Higuma Otoshi (Bear Drop). Not much has been shown of this perfected technique, only that is was not able to be returned by Shiraishi. His arms moves more towards the front like a bat in reverse from swinging the racket behind him like the Higuma Otoshi. The only visible difference from this technique is that Fuji uses two hands to repel Shiraishi's smash rather than the one handed "Bear Drop". (In the anime it also reached the opponent's baseline much faster than Higuma Otoshi)

====Hakuryu (White Dragon)====
（白竜）

One of the 3 upgraded techniques of the triple counter in the match against [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] in the Nationals. Hakuryu is the updated version of Hakugei (White Whale). Unlike Hakugei, Hakuryu rose much higher into the sky. Instead of spinning backwards to Fuji, the ball will bounce towards the sides.

Interesting note:
When he first hits this shot, it bounces back not towards him, but sideways towards Ryoma. Ryoma, though not expecting it, catches the ball.

====Hecatoncheires no Monban (Gate Keeper of Hecatonchires)====
（へカトンケイルの門番）

The Final Counter, Gate Keeper of [[Hecatoncheires]], is actually translated to "The Hundred Armed Giant", but this is a title from Greek Mythology, and thus kept with the name "Gate keeper of Hecatoncheires". Using the reverse side of the racket, Fuji uses the slide of the oncoming ball over the gut and forcing a super spin to the ball. Then by instantaneously reversing his wrist and using the other side of the racket, he doubles the spin yet again. Under the super spin of this technique, [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] was sealed from returning the ball over the net, whether he used a lob, slice, or even top spin, the ball would just hit the net. However, he has managed to overcome it and break this counter, by creating a counter-spin on the ball just strong enough for the ball to go beyond the net.

===Serves===
====Disappearing Serve====
Otherwise known as a "cut-serve", but because Fuji spins the ball as he drops it, the ball disappears. While not as fast or powerful as most serves, many players are caught off guard by the way the ball abruptly "cuts" to the left (the returner's right) and in a sense "disappears". Fuji first used this move when facing Jirou Akutagawa from [[Hyotei Gakuen]].

====Knuckle Serve (anime only)====
This move is shown when Fuji is playing Akaya Kirihara from Rikkaidai. Due to the fact Fuji is angry, he uses the Knuckle Serve to take revenge.This serve is more like the twist serve, but before the user throws the ball in the air, the user squeezes the ball first. Its direction can only be seen by the one who served it.

== Notable matches ==
===Jirou Akutagawa===
Shusuke Fuji started the match by performing the ''Disappearing Serve''. [[Hyotei Gakuen#Jirou Akutagawa|Jirou Akutagawa]] becomes excited after witnessing the serve and decides to get serious. Fuji hits the serve for the rest of his service game, and Jirou fails to return the ball the entire time. During Jirou's service game, he serves the ball and suddenly approaches the net. Fuji aims for Jirou's foot, but Jirou was able to volley it. Though others believe it was just a lucky return, Jirou does it again when Fuji aims for Jirou's foot for the second time. The match continues and Jirou wins his service game. During Fuji's service game, he prevents Jirou from going to the net and manages to win the game. Fuji later manages to to win three straight points during Jirou's service game. Jirou tries to counter by approaching the net right after using a flat serve. When Fuji returns the ball, Jirou takes the chance to smash it, but Fuji uses his ''Higuma Otoshi'' to take the point. When Jirou approaches the net right at the beginning of the next game, Fuji uses his third counter, ''Hakugei''. From there, Fuji manages to dominate and win the match with a 6 to 1 score.

===Akaya Kirihara (anime version)===
Fuji starts off the match with his Disappearing Serve. [[Akaya Kirihara]] fails to return the Disappearing Serve three times in a row, however, on the fourth try, Kirihara was able to hit it, but the ball hits the net, so Fuji wins the game. During Kirihara's service game, he hits a ''Twist Serve'', but it was evaded by Fuji. After Kirihara fails to win a few points from Fuji, he activates his ''Devil Mode''. He then hits a drop shot, and Fuji returns it, but Kirihara smashes the ball and hits Fuji's knee, which he does twice, subsequently winning him the game. Kirihara then uses his Knuckle Serve, which hits Fuji's head. Due to the pain in his knee, Fuji loses three straight games.
Kirihara continues to use his dirty strategy, until Tachibana comes to encourage Fuji. When Kirihara tries to hit Tachibana with a Knuckle Serve, Fuji gets angry. Fuji then uses the Knuckle Serve himself, which scares Kirihara since he believes that Fuji is aiming for him. Due to Kirihara's fear, Fuji manages to win that game. When Kirihara's fear grows, he steps back, which causes him to get hit on his knee. Believing that Fuji hit his knee on purpose, Kirihara is paralyzed by his fear, which results in Fuji winning the last few points with service aces.

===Akaya Kirihara (manga version)===
Fuji started off the game by going on the offence, which everyone was surprised at, considering that Fuji's real forte is in his counter techniques. After Fuji won the first point with a smash, Kirihara went into devil mode and started using Echizen Ryoma's split-step to force Fuji into the corner, which Fuji countered by using the Hakugei. Using the split-step, Kirihara was able to run up to the ball and smash the ball back, only for Fuji to return the ball with a Higuma Otoshi, winning the game 1-0 without reply. After a brief flashback of Fuji and Kunimitsu Tezuka having a conversation after Fuji's match against Ryoma, Fuji was shown to be leading 2-0. Another brief flashback of Tezuka's match against Atobe Keigo, which made Fuji decide to start playing seriously. Kirihara injures Fuji with a smash that knocked Fuji's racket off and Fuji was blinded by the injury subtained as a result of Kirihara hitting the ball to Fuji's head during the match. After that, Fuji continues playing while being still blinded and told coach Ryuzaki that he is not backing down. With the score 3-0 before that, Kirihara managed to win 4 straight games and mocked Fuji, saying that Fuji was playing fine even when he was blinded and said that it was pure luck that Fuji returned the ball. Fuji then returned the balls hit and everyone was shocked that Fuji can still play so well even when he was blinded. Fuji won the next 2 games before Kirihara unconsciously went into Muga no Kyouchi, giving Fuji a run for it and only managed to win the last point by using the side of his racket after Kirihara broke his racket with Sanada's Kaa technique. The match ended with Fuji winning 7 games to 5.

===Kunimitsu Tezuka (anime only)===
During Seishun Gakuen's inter-school match-ups, [[Kunimitsu Tezuka]] and Shusuke Fuji are pitted against each other. Fuji dominates at first and easily wins the first game, however, the next game is won by Tezuka in no time because Fuji had difficulty returning Tezuka's serves. Fuji tries to counter by using his [[Shusuke Fuji#Counters|Triple Counters]], but everyone is surprised when Tezuka seals Fuji's Triple Counters in one play. The match continues and Tezuka dominates at 4 games to 1. Fuji becomes serious and his shots begin to change as he displays improved Triple Counters. As Fuji begins to dominate the match, Tezuka responds by using smashes that hit the net, which seals Fuji's improved Higuma Otoshi. During the match point, Tezuka smashes, but Fuji had predicted his hit already and uses his Higuma Otoshi. When the ball passes Tezuka, Fuji believes that he has won, but Tezuka, while in mid-air, quickly switches his racket to his right hand, and uses the Tezuka Zone, which allows him to hit his Zero-Shiki Drop shot. Tezuka wins with a score of 7 games to 6.

===Kuranosuke Shiraishi===
During the National Finals, Fuji is pitted against [[Kuranosuke Shiraishi]] in Singles 3. It is the first time that Shiraishi's ''Perfect Tennis'' was shown.

In the first half of the match, Shiraishi was completely dominating because of his perfect playing style. Fuji's Disappearing Serve was the first technique to be sealed by Shiraishi's Perfect Tennis. Fuji`s infamous Triple Counters were also useless against Shiraishi`s tennis style, so he took the lead with 5 games to 0.

At the start of the second half, Fuji receives encouragement from [[Ryoma Echizen]]. With that, Fuji recovers and starts to play aggressively. After Fuji takes his first point, he displays his upgraded Triple Counters and even his Final Counter. With those, Fuji takes the lead with 6 games to 5. Before Fuji's [[Point (tennis)|match point]], Shiraishi nearly returns Fuji`s Final counter. The next time Fuji uses his Final Counter, Shiraishi was able to return the technique with a cord ball. Fuji continuously hits the Final Counter, but Shiraishi returns them all.

In the end, after Fuji's final Hakuryuu landed out, Shiraishi wins with 7 games to 6, being the first person to ever beat Fuji in an official singles match.

== Trivia ==
*Fuji is the middle child of the Fuji family. His unnamed father is a foreign-based employee, and is never seen in the series. His mother, 49-year-old Yoshiko, who also has perpetually-closed eyes, is seen in the manga as a kind and dedicated Japanese housewife. Fuji's elder sister, 24-year-old Yumiko, is considered very attractive and is popular among both Fuji and Yuuta's friends. She is seen several times in both the anime and the manga, first appearing when she offers to give Fuji a ride home.

*In the Japanese original, both Fuji and his sister Yumiko is voiced by [[Yuki Kaida]]

*In the Valentine Chocolate specials from the manga, Fuji has constantly been in the top three recipients of chocolate, with the exception of the years 2005 and 2006.

*Fuji's counters are based on animals: Tsubame Gaeshi: [[Swallow]], Higuma Otoshi: [[Brown Bear]], Hakugei: [[Whale]], Kagerou Zutsumi: [[Dragonfly]].

*When Fuji "evolves" his three Triple Counters, their new names are based on mythical creatures: Houou Gaeshi: [[Phoenix (mythology)|Phoenix]], Kirin Otoshi: a [[Qilin]] (which looks somewhat like a [[Chimera (mythology)|Chimera]]), Hakuryuu: [[Dragon]].

*The kanji for Fuji (不二) stands for 'not second', 'unparalleled', or 'peerless'. His name can also be seen as a bit of a pun when his hobbies and favorite foods are taken into account; [[Fujifilm]] is the world's largest photographic and imaging company, and one of Fuji's hobbies is [[photography]]. Fuji apples are a type of apple, and they are one of Fuji's favorite foods.

*Fuji's room has a built-in wall closet, a rocking chair with a tartan cushion, and a [[Gramophone record|gramophone]]-type audio device.

*In a scene of Prince of Tennis, Fuji can be seen watching [[Rocky]], the motion picture, which he borrowed from his brother, [[Yuuta Fuji|Yuuta]].

*Fuji carries a copy of Antoine Saint-Exupery's ''[[The Little Prince]]'' in his bag. The brand of his racket is also 'Prince'.

*In a chibi episode and in TeniPuri family, Fuji is portrayed as a woman, playing off on his somewhat feminine looks. In the TeniPuri family episodes, he is the sweet yet impulsive Grandmother of the family and is often paired up with Tezuka, who plays the Grandfather. In the other Tenipuri chibi episode, settled in the Far West, he plays a [[damsel in distress]]-type girl searching for a Lone Gunman who later turns out to be Tezuka.

*Fuji is one of the few male characters in the anime who is voiced by a female voice actor. Others being [[Ryoma Echizen]], [[Kintarou Tooyama]] of Shitenhouji, Taichi Dan of Yamabuki, Youhei and Kouhei Tanaka of [[Jyosei Shonan]], and Seiichi Yukimura of [[Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku]]. However, Ryoma, Kintarou and Taichi are first years (thus younger and more naturally voiced by a female seiyū) while Fuji and Yukimura are third years.

*Although Fuji has five counters, in the match against Shirashi, his set of counters is still called "Triple Counter".

*Fuji evolved all 3 of his original counters, and his Final Counter's name was derived from Greek Mythology.

*In the manga canon, Fuji's full potential is drawn out by Ryoma, when the younger boy steps into the court in the middle of the Fuji vs Shiraishi match and encourages Fuji to give the match everything he's got.

* Fuji seems to be one of few Seigaku Regulars (along with [[Shuichiro Oishi]] and [[Ryoma Echizen]]) who is genuinely close to [[Kunimitsu Tezuka]], the captain of the tennis club. As such, he and Tezuka are often seen together. In the anime, this is because when they were first years, they developed a mutual respect for each other. Eventually, Fuji challenged Tezuka to a match, but right before the match, Tezuka's arm was injured, and Tezuka lost the match. However, Fuji noticed Tezuka's injury, and they promised to play each other again once Tezuka's arm healed fully. This promise is eventually fulfilled when they play each other in the third round of intraschool ranking matches. However, in the manga, there has yet to be an official match between Fuji and Tezuka.

==Actors==

* In the Anime series, Fuji's [[seiyū]] (or [[voice actor]]) is [[Yuki Kaida]].

* For the live-action adaptation film of [[The Prince of Tennis (film)|The Prince of Tennis]], actor [[Hiroki Aiba]] portrays Fuji.

* In [[The Prince of Tennis Musicals]], Fuji is portrayed by actors [[Kimeru]] (2003-2004), [[Takashi Nagayama]] (2003) and [[Hiroki Aiba]] (2005-current).

* In the English Anime series, Fuji is voiced first by [[Adam Lawson]], and later (from episode 31 on) by [[Johnny Yong Bosch]].

{{nihongo|'''''Ryoma Echizen'''''|越前リョーマ|Echizen Ryōma}} is a [[fictional character]] and the [[protagonist]] of the [[manga]] and [[anime]] series ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]''. Ryoma is the son of former professional tennis player [[Nanjiro Echizen]] (once known professionally as Samurai Nanjiro), and is later known as "Samurai Junior". His first appearance is in the first chapter and first episode of the manga and anime respectively, in which he criticizes a high school student about his tennis knowledge.

== History ==
Ryoma is a first year student at [[Seishun Academy Middle School|Seishun Academy]], where he begins attending immediately after his arrival in Japan after residing in the United States. Although only a first year in middle school, Ryoma had already earned notoriety through winning four consecutive titles in the American Junior Tennis tournaments – all in a little over a year. Due to his nearly invincible tennis play, Ryoma has earned the label 'prodigy' by the age of twelve. His looks and confidence make him highly popular with ladies, although he seems not to notice, having his focus exclusively on tennis.

He is an all-court tennis player with many special shots and abilities. One of Ryoma's greatest talents is his ability to learn new techniques after only seeing them performed a few times. He also has an amazing amount of stamina and doesn't sweat as much as the other players. Along with fellow Seigaku regular Eiji Kikumaru, Ryoma is known to have an exceptional talent for seeing moving objects. He doesn't go easy on himself and pushes himself more rather than letting himself rest.

His favorite subject is Science, though he is better at English because he was in America for three years (his classmates admire him for that). Ryoma also has an attitude of being really distrustful of other tennis players.

Although he is left-handed, his famous ''[[Twist serve|Twist Serve]]'' is only effective when delivered from the dominant hand of his opponents (i.e. he uses his right hand when serving against right handed players). He occasionally plays tennis with his right hand as either a handicap for weaker opponents or a way to test his opponent's abilities. When the need for returning at a difficult angle or distance arises, Ryoma also incorporates the use of "''nitoryū''" or [[ambidexterity]].

His catchphrase in the Japanese anime is "[[Ryoma Echizen#Mada mada dane|mada mada dane]]", literally meaning "no, not yet" or "not good enough". In Prince of Tennis's English dub, this is translated as "You still have a ways to go". Having been brought up in the United States, Ryoma is fluent in English, and in the [[manga]] and the match with Sanada in the anime, he says "You still have lots more to work on".

Ryoma can be quite cocky and arrogant at times, but is always able to back up his statements with his tennis skills. Often before a match, Ryoma will provoke his opponent. In the beginning of the series, Ryoma was not taken seriously by the other students at his school, especially at the Seigaku tennis club. It was only after he had beaten two of Seigaku's regulars (Kaoru Kaidoh and Sadaharu Inui) that he gained respect with fellow club members.

Ryoma is quiet by nature, but always stands up for himself and others, even if it involves confronting an upperclassman. He is unafraid almost to the point of recklessness, but rarely gets angry or out of control. Most of the time, he is serious, quiet, and untalkative.

[[Sakuno Ryuzaki]], Ryoma's friend and coach [[Sumire Ryuzaki]]'s granddaughter, has a crush on him, but because he is so aloof and she is so shy, he does not recognize her feelings for him and treats her much the same as he treats the other freshmen students. The manga hints that this may change, as Ryoma shows signs of jealousy after Sakuno befriends Shitenhouji's [[Kintarou Tooyama]]. A running-gag in the anime was Ryoma often commenting on her tennis form by telling Sakuno that her arms are too bent, her knees are to stretched and her hair is too long. (she later in the anime complains that the length of her hair shouldn't matter or have anything to do with her playing style.)

At the beginning of the series, all of Ryoma's tennis skills were a copy of his father's. With the help of his team captain, [[Kunimitsu Tezuka]], Ryoma realizes his need to develop his own style of tennis if he intends to reach his goal and defeat his father.

With each match, it becomes apparent that Ryoma not only brings his potential to the front, but that he is constantly reaching a new point in the state of ''self-actualization'' – especially so during crucial points in a match. Although he views each opponent as a stepping stone of advancement, Tezuka soon becomes the wall that Ryoma has set up for himself in order to achieve actual greatness.

Although Ryoma has a rather tunneled vision as to whom he considers a rival (Tezuka and his father), there are many that view the first year as just that. One of the more notable examples of this in the anime is Kevin Smith, the son of the tennis coach George Smith, who was defeated by [[Nanjiro Echizen]] in defense of George's pupil Rinko Takeuchi, who'd later become Ryoma's mother, fifteen years ago. Kevin appeared later in the series in the "friendly" match between the U.S. and Japan. Kevin became obsessed with wanting to play Ryoma because of their pasts, whereas in the beginning Ryoma regarded Kevin's threats with a rather unconcerned attitude until he saw him play against [[Yamabuki (Prince of Tennis)|Yamabuki]]'s Jin Akutsu in the streets. Tezuka was unimpressed with Ryoma's attitude toward the matches, and as a result, Ryoma was forced to earn his place as a reserve player.

== Techniques ==
===Twist Serve===
(ツイストサーブ)

A [[serve (tennis)|serve]] Ryoma typically performs with his right hand, though it needs to be hit with the opponent's dominant hand. The [[twist serve]] is Ryoma's most notable shot, and for the early part of the series it was his best shot, before he developed his skills more. It is meant to shoot towards the opponent's face, making it difficult to return. He can perform it with his left hand when he is facing left-handed opponents. He claims that he does this so he can hit the opponent in the face with the ball.

In the English dubbed version of Prince of Tennis, the twist serve is referred to as the kick serve.

===Twist Smash===

(ツイストスマッシュ)

The Twist Serve in the form of a [[smash (tennis)|smash]].The ball changes direction after it hits the ground . He uses this shot to win his game against Shinji Ibu from Fudomine Junior High.

===Twist Serve Tornado===
The Twist Serve curves to the face in an abnormal way. (Seen in the OVA.)

===Drive A===
(ドライブ A)

A drive (topspin) [[volley (tennis)|volley]] hit towards the face at point blank range. Ryoma first uses this shot during his match against [[Yamabuki (Prince of Tennis)|Yamabuki]]'s Jin Akutsu.

===Drive B===
(ドライブ B)

A drive volley with two consecutive bounce arcs, the shape of which form the eponymous 'B'. Ryoma usually slides up near the net and then jumps to perform the Drive B. However, during his match against Aoi Kentaro, Ryoma also uses a Drive B when he is still sliding on the ground. He then uses the force made by the ball to go even faster. Though it grants him more speed, this version lacks the regular Drive B height.

This is Ryoma's first original shot (as opposed to moves he copies from other players), and is first used in his match against [[Yuuta Fuji]]. In the English dub, it has been renamed Drive V.

===Drive C===
(ドライブ C)

A shot similar to the COOL drive with only half the spin, first used by Ryoma in the National OVA against Higa Chuu. Its similar to Fuji's Tsubame Gaeshi, but both the COOL Drive and Drive C use enormous topsin instead of underspin.

===Drive D===
(ドライブ D)

A drive that follows up a returned Drive B, it has half the spin of the Drive B, but the speed of the return is enough to get the ball past most players. (Seen in the manga and OVA only.)

===COOL Drive===
(COOL ドライブ)

A powerful smash with a huge spin that makes the ball roll instead of bouncing up. It can be used as a [[forehand]] or [[backhand]] shot. In the manga, Ryoma uses this shot for the first time to defeat [[Genichirou Sanada]]. In the anime, he does not use it until the OVA, where he uses it against Kei Tanishi; Ryoma smashes the ball into his opponent's raquet where the ball then spins towards Kei's face.

Ryoma appears to use this shot twice near the end of his match with Higaki in the [[The Prince of Tennis (film)|live action film]], although it is not referred to by name.

===Muga no Kyouchi (State of Self Actualization)===
(無我の境地)

A state in which the user naturally intakes all techniques he sees and can perfectly copy them. Ryoma enters this for the first time in an unofficial match against [[Akaya Kirihara]], and controls it for the first time in his match against [[Genichirou Sanada]] (Both occurrences take place in the manga).

;Samurai's Eye (侍の目)
The anime equivalent of Muga no Kyouchi, described as giving Ryoma a very dynamic play style because he is able to switch between many other player's techniques.

===One-footed Split Step===
(片足スプリットステッ.プ)

A split step using one foot. This difference allows Ryoma to increase his speed and cover the court more effectively.

===Nitōryū (Two Sword Style)===
{{nihongo||二刀流|Nitōryū}}

The name given to Ryoma's ambidexterity because he can play with either hand. It is a technique inherited from his father, [[Nanjiro Echizen]].

===Cyclone Smash (anime only)===
(サイクロンスマッシュ)

An extraordinarily powerful [[smash (tennis)|smash]] done by jumping high into the air and twisting then un-twisting the body back on to the ball. It is first shown while battling Oishi, before the Kantou finals. He later perfects the move while playing [[Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku|Rikkaidai]]'s Vice Captain [[Genichirou Sanada|Sanada]].

== Copied Techniques ==
*''The following techniques are used by Echizen, but are not his own'':

;Big Bang Serve
The powerful serve used by [[Higa Middle School|Higa Chuu]]'s Tanishi Kei. Ryoma copies this serve while in State of Self Actualization.

;Buggy Whip Shot （バギーウィップショット）
[[Kaoru Kaidoh|Kaidoh]]'s Snake is a variation of this move. Ryoma used this against Kaidoh during the first intra-school tournament, copying it after seeing Kaidoh execute it and having read a magazine article explaining the move.

;Deep Impulse
Used by Reiji Shinjou, Ryoma utilizes it against Sanada in the anime. The player launched the ball straight towards the opponent. It was copied with the State of Self Actualization.

;Dunk Smash （ダンクスマッシュ）
Originally used by Momoshiro, Ryoma copies this in the State of Self Actualization.

;Knuckle Serve （ナックルサープ）
Originally used by [[Akaya Kirihara]], Ryoma uses this serve to start his match against Sanada while in the State of Self Actualization. The Knuckle Serve is a more powerful and dangerous version of the Twist Serve.

;Rhythm
The fast movement used by Akira Kamio of [[Fudomine Middle School]], Ryoma copies this in the state of Self Actualization, and combines it with The Spot.

;Sliding
The innate natural movement used by [[Yamabuki (Prince of Tennis)|Yamabuki]]'s Jin Akutsu, Ryoma is capable of using this while in State of Self Actualization.

;Super Rising （スーパーライジング）
The signature shot of [[Yuuta Fuji]] of [[St. Rudolph Gakuen]]; the player hits the ball just as its bouncing. Ryoma masters this shot against Akutsu and personalizes it by changing the name from 'Rising' to 'Super Rising.'

;The Spot （スポット）
Fudomine's Shinji Ibu trademark technique, it utilizes topspin and slice shots alternately to put stress on the opponent's arm. Ryoma copies it while in the State of Self Actualization.

;Twist Spin Shot （ツイストスピンショット
Another shot copied from Yuuta, this shot is typically very dangerous on an undeveloped arm.

;Zero-Shiki Drop Shot （零式ドロップショット）
In the anime, during the tie game against [[Hyotei Gakuen]], Ryoma ends the first game with a deceiving [[drop shot]], which, contrary to everyone's expectations, proves abnormal by rolling toward the net instead of bouncing. While it is initially believed to be an exact copy of Tezuka's drop shot, [[Sadaharu Inui|Inui]] explains that the drop shot's flaw was that Ryoma has to drop his racket by 30 mm or so to pull it off, where as the captain only needs 3.2 mm. This means that Ryoma's drop shot is more easily detectable and less deceiving. 
*''The following copied techniques have been used in the anime OVA, where Seigaku plays at the Nationals'':
;Blurred Shot
Used by Yoshirou Akazawa of St. Rudolph, this shot causes the opponent to see several balls, making opponents with overly keen vision dizzy.

;Fuu (Wind)
The first technique of Sanada's "FuuRinKaZan", "Swift Like the Wind". It is an extremely fast shot that goes by the opponent.

;Hadokyuu （波動球）
The extremely powerful flat shot originally created by[[ Gin Ishida]] of Shitenhouji, Ryoma copies the two-handed version created by his teammate, [[Takashi Kawamura]].

;Ka (Fire)
The powerful drive/smash that is the 3rd shot of the "FuuRinKaZan", "Invade like the Fire" used by Sanada.

;Kamaitachi
The only special move that Renji Yanagi from [[Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku|Rikkaidai]] uses in the manga; it is a high speed slice with a very powerful cut.

;Rondo Towards Destruction （破滅のロンド）
A two-part smash created by [[Keigo Atobe]]. The first smash is aimed at the hand to cause the opponent to drop the racquet; then the ball bounces back, allowing a second smash to the now racquet-less opponent..

;Seal Step
Fellow Seigaku regular [[Eiji Kikumaru]]'s fast method of movement where he is seemingly in several places at once.

;Shukuchihou
A Martial Arts technique that Higa players use to reach the net in what seems like one step.

;Tannhauser Serve
A serve created by Atobe, the Tannhauser Serve is similar to [[Shusuke Fuji]]'s Tsubame Gaeshi in that once it hits the ground, it does not bounce back up; rather, it simply rolls down the court.

;Tezuka Zone （手塚ゾーン）
The method Tezuka uses of putting a specific spin on each ball that he hits, causing the ball to automatically return to him. Ryoma uses an incomplete version to break out of Atobe's World of Ice technique. However, it is stated in the manga that Ryoma learned this technique instinctively from playing against his father's completed version of the Samurai/Nanjirou Zone every day.

;Viking Horn
Powerful shot hit with a reverse grip on the racket by Higa's Kai Yuujirou.

;Wild Ball （あばれ球）
An upgraded and extremely dangerous Blur Shot used by [[Kippei Tachibana]] from [[Fudomine Middle School]].

;Kamikakushi （神隠し）
A very strong topspin shot that has extra vertical bounce, causing the ball to "disappear". Originally used by [[Senri Chitose]] of Shitenhouji.

==Notable matches==
Ryoma, as the protagonist, has had numerous matches in the story, more than any other character.

===Kaoru Kaidoh===
After joining Seigaku, Ryoma plays [[Kaoru Kaidoh]] in the Ranking matches. Initially, Kaidoh's Snake Shot gave him the upper hand. However, Ryoma holds his own, keeping the matches relatively even, until he uses Buggy Whip Shot, the technique Kaidoh's Snake Shot is derived from. Ryoma wins the match.

===Sadaharu Inui===
In his second major ranking match, Ryoma plays a third year, [[Sadaharu Inui]]. Inui's Data Tennis technique leaves Ryoma struggling through most of the match. He has difficulties with playing unpredictably, but eventually his One-Footed Split Step gives him the advantage, and he defeats Inui.

===Shinji Ibu===
In the District Regional finals, Ryoma faces Shinji of [[Fudomine Middle School]] in Singles 2. Ryoma surprises everyone with his Twist Serve, while Shinji demonstrates his own abilities with his Kick Serve. Ryoma seems to have control early, but Shinji uses his Spot technique of alternating Topspin and Slice shots, which causes temporary muscle paralysis in the opponent's arm. Ryoma attempts to counter this by pivoting with his foot, but he loses control of his racket, which hits a pole, breaks, and rebounds, injuring his eye.

Coach Ryuuzaki manages to stop the bleeding temporarily, but Tezuka tells Ryoma he must win in ten minutes or be forced to forfeit. Ryoma retakes the court and manages to seal off Shinji's Spot technique by hitting all low shots to his feet (which makes him unable to make a topspin) and Nitōryū. He manages to make it just in time, and wins the match for Seigaku.

===Kunimitsu Tezuka===
Following the District Regionals, Seigaku's Captain, [[Kunimitsu Tezuka]], asks Ryoma to play an unofficial match with him, which is done in secret from the rest of the team (aside from Vice-Captain [[Shuichiro Oishi]]). While only a small portion of the match is shown, Tezuka defeats Ryoma and asks him to become Seigaku's Pillar of Support. Tezuka does this because he feels that Ryoma is (at that time) merely a carbon copy of his father, and wishes for Ryoma to develop his own style of tennis.

A flashback to this match later on in the manga shows that Tezuka saw Ryoma's "Samurai Spirit" during this match.

===Akaya Kirihara (manga version)===
Ryoma and [[Akaya Kirihara]] of [[Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku]] meet prior to the Kantou Regional finals and decide to have a match. While Ryoma starts out well, Kirihara's Red Eyes form becomes too much for him. However, when losing 4-0, Ryoma unconsciously taps into the State of Self Actualization for the first time. He goes into a trance and wins six consecutive games, defeating Kirihara, but then falling unconscious. When he awakes, he is unaware of his victory.

===Genichirou Sanada (manga version)===
Ryoma starts out the match by going into the State of Self Actualization right away. He manages to win the first game by using a blitz of techniques, but loses control of the game when fatigue sets in. While Ryoma manages to keep steady and return Sanada's Fuu, [[Genichirou Sanada|Sanada]] merely responds by using Ka.
With all hope seeming lost, Ryoma manages to gain a burst of energy and begins fighting back. Sanada is undaunted, but Ryoma manages to catch up and take the lead. Sanada goes into the State of Self Actualization himself, determined to end the match, but Ryoma manages to win by debuting his COOL Drive.

===Kei Tanishi===
The two play in the Singles 3 match during Seigaku's match with [[Higa Middle School]] at the start of the Nationals. Tanishi's Big Bang Serve allows him to win all of his service games, while Ryoma manages to win all of his, forcing a tiebreak.

It is there that Ryoma manages to return the Big Bang Serve. Ryoma had not let on to the fact that the serve had been weakening in power as the games progressed; as such, Tanishi was unaware of his own weakness, allowing Ryoma to get a return ace.

===Keigo Atobe===
During the National quarterfinals, Ryoma and [[Keigo Atobe]] face off in Singles 1, with their respective teams tied at 2-2. Atobe uses his new Tanhausser Serve to gain the upper hand. Ryoma attempts to take the lead by using the State of Self Actualization, but Atobe is still able to keep up, and debuts his new ability, the World of Ice, which allows him to exploit all of Ryoma's blind spots and win four consecutive games. At this point, Ryoma manages to break out by copying the Tezuka Zone, allowing him to catch up and force a tiebreak game. With the score tied at 117 each, both players collapse. Atobe gets up first and manages to walk over to receive the serve, but Ryoma manages to muster the strength to do the Twist Serve. Atobe is unable to return it, for he has already lost consciousness, and Ryoma manages to win 119-117, putting Seigaku in the semifinals.

===Kintarou Toyama===
Although the match between Seigaku and Shitenhouji had concluded, Ryoma and Kintarou played a special one ball match. In spite of it only being for one point, they both went all out for over 40 minutes. In the end, the ball was split in half, causing it to end in a draw. It was hinted by Chitose, Fuji and Tezuka in the manga (Chapter 340) that Ryoma may have unlocked Teni Muhou No Kiwami (Pinnacle of Perfection), the third and final door of Muga no Kyouchi (State of Self-Actualization), in this match. However, Nanjiro, apparently listening to the match through the radio, comments that Ryoma had it wrong, and that he still has lots more to work on.

== Notable differences between the anime and manga ==
* While the anime places emphasis on his relationship with Tezuka as the captain, the manga shows a clearer bond between Ryoma and all of his co-regulars. One particular senpai he had little interaction with in the anime is [[Shusuke Fuji]]. In the manga, however, the two seem to have far more interactions than the anime bothered to show, suggesting a closer relationship like Ryoma has with Tezuka or Momoshiro.

* In the manga, [[Akaya Kirihara]] had a match with Ryoma before the [[Seishun Academy Middle School|Seigaku]]-[[Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku|Rikkai]] matches, in which Ryoma's knee was injured. During the Fuji-Kirihara match, Fuji aimed at Kirihara's knee; upon seeing his reaction, Fuji realized what had happened and told Kirihara he would destroy him. Fuji had never been that angry for anyone else's sake other than his brother, [[Yuuta Fuji]].

*In the manga, the gut of Tezuka's racquet snapped when he was practicing, when Ryoma was in a pinch during his match against Sanada.

*In the manga, Fuji's full potential was drawn out because of Ryoma, when the younger boy stepped into the court in the middle of the Fuji-[[Kuranosuke Shiraishi|Shiraishi]] match to cheer on his teammate.

==Mada mada dane==
Mada mada dane (未だ未だだね) is a phrase that has been popularized by Ryoma Echizen. The meaning literally means "No, not yet," but varies in similarity, with meanings that include "You still have a long ways to go," "Not good enough" or "Still no good," and "It's not over yet." In the English version of the manga, or as translated directly in a chapter of the Japanese manga, "You still have lots more to work on." He says this to annoy and also to taunt his rivals. While most often linked to Ryoma Echizen, it is actually a derogatory phrase that is heard quite often in anime. Differences in usage include:

Mada mada dana: used by the former Samurai Nanjirou in his glory days.

Mada mada daze: used by [[Ryoga Echizen]], Ryoma's stepbrother. He is only seen in the movie "Futari no Samurai".

Mada mada sune: used when addressing someone in higher respect.

Mada mada ssuyo: used in the anime, when Coach Ryuzaki asks Ryoma if he wants to continue during his match against Sanada in the Kantou Finals.

== Trivia ==
*The [[Japanese Tennis Association]] has adopted Ryoma Echizen as a formal image character of the organization.

*In the anime, he is the youngest person in the world to win in the [[U.S. Open (tennis)|U.S. Open]], beating [[Lleyton Hewitt]] in the final match. (This is stated at the end of episode 178.)

*Ryoma demonstrates prowess in other sports, such as [[bowling]], [[table tennis]], and [[billiards]]; his abilities in [[beach volleyball]], however, may be questioned. When the Seigaku students go to the beach during the anime series, Ryoma plays well when paired with Kaidoh. However, he plays quite poorly in the OVA when paired with Tezuka, so much as to be taunted by the other Seigaku students and [[Rokkaku Chuu]] students alike by having his "Mada mada dane" returned with "Omae danna!", which translates roughly into "You do!" In the same event in the manga, Echizen (paired with Rokkaku's Kentaro Aoi instead) plays decently only after activating Muga no Kyouchi.

*The kanji that make up Ryoma's family name, Echizen, mean "to surpass"(越) and "the above"(前).

*In the TeniPuri Family chibi episodes, Ryoma is the oldest child (boy) of the family and always gets into all sorts of mischief.

*All throughout the series, Ryoma calls Kikumaru Eiji "Kikumaru-senpai" while others prefer to use the said player's first name. That was changed as the episodes entered the OVA's and Ryoma called Kikumaru Eiji "Eiji-senpai"

==Actors==
* In the anime series, Ryoma's [[seiyū]] (or [[voice actor]]) is [[Junko Minagawa]] in the Japanese version; in the U.S. version, his actor is [[David Neil Black]].
* For the live-action adaptation film of [[The Prince of Tennis (film)|The Prince of Tennis]], actor [[Kanata Hongo]] portrays Ryoma.
* In [[The Prince of Tennis Musicals]], Ryoma is portrayed by actors [[Kotaro Yanagi]] (2003, 2005-2006), [[Kimeru]] (2003-2004), [[Yuya Endo]] (2004-2005) and [[Dori Sakurada]] (2006-current).

'''Martin Mystery''' ([[2003]]) is an [[animated]] [[television series]]. It is loosely based on the [[Italian comics|Italian comic]] ''[[Martin Mystère]]''.

The series reimagines the title character Martin Mystery and his step-sister (his father married her mom) Diana Lombard as 16-year-olds attending Torrington Academy, a high school in [[Sherbrooke, Quebec]]. They work for the covert organization "The Center", which secretly protects the people of Earth from extraterrestrial and supernatural threats. Not everyone who works for the organization is human. The short and green-skinned Billy is one of Martin's best friends. Java works as a janitor of Diana and Martin's school and is a caveman from 200,000 years ago. As far as "The Center" is concerned, Martin's vast knowledge of the supernatural and his remarkable intuition compensate for his poor personal hygiene and huge ego. Diana resents these qualities at times, as Martin does not seem to often understand the seriousness of his missions, but generally loves him like any real brother. In a small twist of irony, Diana and Martin are lovers in the original comics version, and not siblings.

Diana is prone to many of the missions' scarier moments and often becomes a victim that Martin has to rescue, much to her chagrin. Together they form an excellent mystery solving team at the same time full of horrors and dangers.

Martin Mystery had been aired in [[Canada]] on [[YTV (Canadian TV channel)|YTV]] and Kids[[Discovery Channel]] in [[English language|English]] and on [[VRAK.TV]] in [[French language|French]] since [[2004]]. In May [[2005]], [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] and [[NickToons Network]] began to air Martin Mystery as well, Nickelodeon removed Martin Mystery from their line up in August 2005. It is also seen on MBC 3 & ART Teenz channels nowadays but in Arabic (Starring "Mariam El Khesht" as "Diana Lombard" & "Mo'awad Ismail" as "Martin"). Martin Mystery began airing on Disney Channel on 2004 on its weekday afternoon line up. It was temporarily replaced by [[Sabrina, The Animated Series]] and was returned on the line up. Its airing schedule was changed from Monday to Friday to Thursday and Friday as [[Emperor's New School]] airs from Monday to Wednesday. This January, it was totally removed from the weekday line up. It currently airs on Disney Channel Asia every weekend mornings.

The show is produced by [[Marathon Production]] (a French television production company based in Paris), which also produces ''[[Totally Spies]]'' and ''[[Team Galaxy]]''. Like ''Totally Spies'', ''Martin Mystery'' takes on a style reminiscent of Japanese [[anime]], although it is produced in Europe. Boys ''resembling'' Martin and his rival, Marvin, and Diana have appeared as cameos in ''Totally Spies'' in its episode "Super Agent Much?" and many others.

==Characters==
{{main|List of characters in Martin Mystery}}

== Monsters ==
{{main|Monsters in Martin Mystery}}

== Martin's U-Watch ==
Martin Mystery, who is very much the leader of the trio, carries a high-tech device called the U-Watch. This is a piece of equipment that is an essential part on their missions, and is also the way they are usually paged to the Center. While the "U" has never been told as to what it stands for, it probably stands for Utility, since many of it's gadgets are utility items. Marvin also wears one. The primary functions are:
* '''Legendex:''' a database of every monster, curse, creature, and event worthy of note known to The Center
* '''Slime Scan:''' analyzes slime samples if it is of unknown origin. This is arguably the function most utilized by Martin
* '''Bio Scan:''' analyzes any biological residue and sends information on The Center's database. Billy's pod can also perform a bio scan (as seen in the episode "Curse of the Hole Creature")
* '''X-Rod:''' fires a net or a energyfield to capture a creature. It can also extend into a quarterstaff (like [[Sun Wukong]]'s staff) for melee combat
* '''I-Cutter:''' creates an energy blade that cuts through walls, locks, and doors; it has also been shown to shoot a concentrated "laser blasts" on an occasionally. Like the X-Rod, it is the only other weapon capable of actual melee or ranged fighting.
* '''Tracker:''' has a GPS system that can used to track down people or objects
* '''Turbo Bungee:''' a grappling hook that enables the wearer to escape from confined spaces
* '''Alpha Goggles:''' a pair of glasses with internal light beams mounted at the rims, perfect for viewing in enclosed or dark locations
* '''U-Shield:''' generates a force field that can cover the area of an entire room. It also acts as an air supply for limited durations underwater (but only for an amount of time)
* '''Phone-Number Search Mode:''' the U-Watch's [[A.I.]] responds with an address and name when the user states a phone-number

It should be noted that the 'unofficial' functions include an internal flashlight, communications device, and even a laser/blaster function which is really rarely used. On one occasion, it's shown that the U-Watch has a slot for what looks like [[memory cards]], and allows it to run additional programs from them (this is seen in the "Curse of the Necklace" episode before Martin heads into the portal for his mission. He gains the ability to detect "dead zones" and uses it shortly after). Interestingly enough, it has never been verified that the U-Watch actually tells the time.
== M.O.M.'s Ultra U-Watch ==
M.O.M. wears her own U-Watch, the 'Ultra U-Watch' which is also capable of opening portals. (Martin (possessed by an alien named Gastromo) was once seen using his normal U-Watch to open a portal to the center. Martin has never used this ability) There is also an upgraded version of the U-Watch: the 'X-Watch,' given to higher-ranking agents. It has additional functions such as 'Hologram', 'Ultra-Concentrated Sunbeam', and 'X-Goggles.' These features have been indicated in the episode "The Lost Tribe", and it is a device that Martin desires.
* '''Center Vehicle''': can make a center [[SUV]] appear for transportation
* '''X-Rod''': used for slicing through things and melee weapons
* '''X-Goggles''': a device used to see in the dark
* '''Portal ''': is capable of opening and closing portals
* '''Ultra legendex''':an encyclopedia of every monster or legend
* '''Hologram''':a device that projects images

== Interesting Facts ==
* The giant venus fly trap in Movie Monster Mayhem also has an appearance as Java's gift for Billy in They Came from Outer Space Part One and in MOM's office in Shriek from Beyond
* Diana's favorite comfort food is poached salmon.
* In Diana's nightmare, an evil alarm clock walks out of the mist although there was never an evil alarm clock in the part when she wakes up saying she had a dream about going to Australia.
* Martin is actually the senior advisor of the Psi Psi Psi sorority.
* Although Martin's outfits always include a red top with yellow flames, his favourite color is actually orange.
* In Martin's nightmare MOM fires him and her mouth turns parasitic
* Number of times Jenni expressed interest in Martin: 5
* MOM's office doubles as a nightclub, and she has been described as "a real party animal".
* A boy crushed by rubble in shriek from beyond looks an awful lot like Marvin
* In an episode where Martin and the group go investigate the paranormal in [[Oregon]], all the townsfolk are pictured as stereotypical southern hillbillies, despite being a northern state, and is one of the closer states to Canada. Some have interpreted this as the company's view on Americans in general.
* Before MOM worked for the Center she used to drive an ice cream truck.
* "Code 7-5-9-2" brings MOM's office into full lockdown.
* The Center SUVs that appear in the show resembles a 1998-2003 [[Dodge Durango]] and a 2003 [[Hummer H2]]
* The Episode "Haunting Of The Blackwater" makes several references to [[The Shining]]
* The Center once had Martin reanimate a tomb of dead mummies mentioned in the episode, "Return of the Beast."
* While Java is a caveman, he has adapted to a modern lifestyle, except for his unremitting fear of technology, and his unbearably smelly foot problem, which probably stems from his feet's lack of ventilation, as cavemen didn't wear shoes. In addition, he does not wear socks with his shoes. It is often noted that Diana is grossed out by the stench, and must wear a respirator to protect herself whenever Java takes off his shoes, because the smell is just too overwhelming. However, this odor may be caused from Java's lack of hygiene.
* In the first episode, It Came From the Bog, a subtle reference to the Metal Gear Solid series is made. As Martin, Java, and Diana leave M.O.M's room to go on the mission she states "Now I must save Agent Anaconda from the reptile dispatching cyborg", a reference to snake and one of the bosses.
* Martin, in most of the episodes during the first season, wore a black long-sleeve shirt under.
* Martin's Ungainly Mishaps Include:
:''1) Destroying M.O.M's [[manticore]] skeleton. 2) Blowing-up the center alien patrol team leader ship thinking it was a [[video game]].
:''3) Frying M.O.M by pressing a button on a [[brainwashing]] [[machine]]. 4) Making M.O.M's [[holographic]] [[chess]] set disappear by moving a game piece.''
:''5) Setting all the [[science]] [[disection]] [[frogs]] free. 6) Splashing M.O.M and M.O.M's clone with [[water]] from one of his [[visions]] of what happened to a train.''
:''7) Turning into a big baby by eating a candy. 8) Turned into a vampire trying to fight it. 9) Shrinking M.O.M. 10) Spilling [[cereal]] on Jenny.''

'''Martin Mystery''' ([[2003]]) is an [[animated]] [[television series]]. It is loosely based on the [[Italian comics|Italian comic]] ''[[Martin Mystère]]''.

The series reimagines the title character Martin Mystery and his step-sister (his father married her mom) Diana Lombard as 16-year-olds attending Torrington Academy, a high school in [[Sherbrooke, Quebec]]. They work for the covert organization "The Center", which secretly protects the people of Earth from extraterrestrial and supernatural threats. Not everyone who works for the organization is human. The short and green-skinned Billy is one of Martin's best friends. Java works as a janitor of Diana and Martin's school and is a caveman from 200,000 years ago. As far as "The Center" is concerned, Martin's vast knowledge of the supernatural and his remarkable intuition compensate for his poor personal hygiene and huge ego. Diana resents these qualities at times, as Martin does not seem to often understand the seriousness of his missions, but generally loves him like any real brother. In a small twist of irony, Diana and Martin are lovers in the original comics version, and not siblings.

Diana is prone to many of the missions' scarier moments and often becomes a victim that Martin has to rescue, much to her chagrin. Together they form an excellent mystery solving team at the same time full of horrors and dangers.

Martin Mystery had been aired in [[Canada]] on [[YTV (Canadian TV channel)|YTV]] and Kids[[Discovery Channel]] in [[English language|English]] and on [[VRAK.TV]] in [[French language|French]] since [[2004]]. In May [[2005]], [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] and [[NickToons Network]] began to air Martin Mystery as well, Nickelodeon removed Martin Mystery from their line up in August 2005. It is also seen on MBC 3 & ART Teenz channels nowadays but in Arabic (Starring "Mariam El Khesht" as "Diana Lombard" & "Mo'awad Ismail" as "Martin"). Martin Mystery began airing on Disney Channel on [[2004]] on its weekday afternoon line up. It was temporarily replaced by [[Sabrina, The Animated Series]] and was returned on the line up. Its airing schedule was changed from Monday to Friday to Thursday and Friday as [[Emperor's New School]] airs from Monday to Wednesday. This January, it was totally removed from the weekday line up. It currently airs on Disney Channel Asia every weekend mornings.

The show is produced by [[Marathon Production]] (a French television production company based in Paris), which also produces ''[[Totally Spies]]'' and ''[[Team Galaxy]]''. Like ''Totally Spies'', ''Martin Mystery'' takes on a style reminiscent of Japanese [[anime]], although it is produced in Europe. Boys ''resembling'' Martin and his rival, Marvin, and Diana have appeared as cameos in ''Totally Spies'' in its episode "Super Agent Much?" and many others.

==Characters==
{{main|List of characters in Martin Mystery}}

== Monsters ==
{{main|Monsters in Martin Mystery}}

== Martin's U-Watch ==

Martin Mystery, who is very much the leader of the trio, carries a high-tech device called the U-Watch. This is a piece of equipment that is an essential part on their missions, and is also the way they are usually paged to the Center. While the "U" has never been told as to what it stands for, it probably stands for Utility, since many of it's gadgets are utility items. Marvin also wears one. The primary functions are:

* '''Legendex:''' a database of every monster, curse, creature, and event worthy of note known to The Center

* '''Slime Scan:''' analyzes slime samples if it is of unknown origin. This is arguably the function most utilized by Martin

* '''Bio Scan:''' analyzes any biological residue and sends information on The Center's database. Billy's pod can also perform a bio scan (as seen in the episode "Curse of the Hole Creature")

* '''X-Rod:''' fires a net or a energyfield to capture a creature. It can also extend into a quarterstaff (like [[Sun Wukong]]'s staff) for melee combat

* '''I-Cutter:''' creates an energy blade that cuts through walls, locks, and doors; it has also been shown to shoot a concentrated "laser blasts" on an occasionally. Like the X-Rod, it is the only other weapon capable of actual melee or ranged fighting.

* '''Tracker:''' has a GPS system that can used to track down people or objects

* '''Turbo Bungee:''' a grappling hook that enables the wearer to escape from confined spaces

* '''Alpha Goggles:''' a pair of glasses with internal light beams mounted at the rims, perfect for viewing in enclosed or dark locations

* '''U-Shield:''' generates a force field that can cover the area of an entire room. It also acts as an air supply for limited durations underwater (but only for an amount of time)

* '''Phone-Number Search Mode:''' the U-Watch's [[A.I.]] responds with an address and name when the user states a phone-number

It should be noted that the 'unofficial' functions include an internal flashlight, communications device, and even a laser/blaster function which is really rarely used. On one occasion, it's shown that the U-Watch has a slot for what looks like [[memory cards]], and allows it to run additional programs from them (this is seen in the "Curse of the Necklace" episode before Martin heads into the portal for his mission. He gains the ability to detect "dead zones" and uses it shortly after). Interestingly enough, it has never been verified that the U-Watch actually tells the time.
== M.O.M.'s Ultra U-Watch ==
M.O.M. wears her own U-Watch, the 'Ultra U-Watch' which is also capable of opening portals. (Martin (possessed by an alien named Gastromo) was once seen using his normal U-Watch to open a portal to the center. Martin has never used this ability) There is also an upgraded version of the U-Watch: the 'X-Watch,' given to higher-ranking agents. It has additional functions such as 'Hologram', 'Ultra-Concentrated Sunbeam', and 'X-Goggles.' These features have been indicated in the episode "The Lost Tribe", and it is a device that Martin desires.

*'''Center Vehicle''': can make a center [[SUV]] appear for transportation

*'''X-Rod''': used for slicing through things and melee weapons

*'''X-Goggles''': a device used to see in the dark

== Episode Guide ==
{{main|List of Martin Mystery episodes}}

== Interesting Facts ==
* The giant venus fly trap in Movie Monster Mayhem also has an appearance as Java's gift for Billy in They Came from Outer Space Part One and in MOM's office in Shriek from Beyond

* Diana's favorite comfort food is poached salmon.
* In Diana's nightmare, an evil alarm clock walks out of the mist although there was never an evil alarm clock in the part when she wakes up saying she had a dream about going to Australia.
* Martin is actually the senior advisor of the Psi Psi Psi sorority.

* Although Martin's outfits always include a red top with yellow flames, his favourite color is actually orange.
* In Martin's nightmare MOM fires him and her mouth turns parasitic
* Number of times Jenni expressed interest in Martin: 5

* MOM's office doubles as a nightclub, and she has been described as "a real party animal".
* A boy crushed by rubble in shriek from beyond looks an awful lot like Marvin
* In an episode where Martin and the group go investigate the paranormal in [[Oregon]], all the townsfolk are pictured as stereotypical southern hillbillies, despite being a northern state, and is one of the closer states to Canada. Some have interpreted this as the company's view on Americans in general.
*Before MOM worked for the Center she used to drive an ice cream truck.
* "Code 7-5-9-2" brings MOM's office into full lockdown.

* The Center SUVs that appear in the show resembles a 1998-2003 [[Dodge Durango]] and a 2003 [[Hummer H2]]

* The Episode "Haunting Of The Blackwater" makes several references to [[The Shining]]
* The Center once had Martin reanimate a tomb of dead mummies mentioned in the episode, "Return of the Beast."
* While Java is a caveman, he has adapted to a modern lifestyle, except for his unremitting fear of technology, and his unbearably smelly foot problem, which probably stems from his feet's lack of ventilation, as cavemen didn't wear shoes. In addition, he does not wear socks with his shoes. It is often noted that Diana is grossed out by the stench, and must wear a respirator to protect herself whenever Java takes off his shoes, because the smell is just too overwhelming. However, this odor may be caused from Java's lack of hygiene.

*In the first episode, It Came From the Bog, a subtle reference to the Metal Gear Solid series is made. As Martin, Java, and Diana leave MOM's room to go on the mission she states "Now I must save Agent Anaconda from the reptile dispatching cyborg", a reference to snake and one of the bosses.

*Martin, in most of the episodes during the first season, wore a black long-sleeve shirt under the normal shirt (the one with the flames) he usually wears.

== Media Releases ==

A Martin Mystery DVD, with episodes from the 1st season, has recently been released in September 2006. Versions included are English and French DVDs.

{{nihongo|'''Tonagura!'''|となグラ！}} is the title of a fictional [[Japan]]ese comedy/romance story created by [[Hidetaka Kakei]] centering around four childhood friends and the romantic relationship between two of them.

Tonagura! originally began as a [[manga]] series and was released on December 7, 2004. The [[anime]] is based on this manga and was released July 8, 2006.

==Plot==
A childhood friend, Yuji, is coming home after a 10-year absence and Kazuki is eager to meet him again, hoping that he has become a handsome guy. In actuality, he’s become a very dirty [[pervert]]. In spite of her disappointment, he is making a move on her. Moreover, her older sister, Hatsune, tries to help their love along. Meanwhile, Yuji’s little sister, Marie, delights in shooting him with an air soft gun.

==Characters==
;{{Nihongo|Kazuki Arisaka|有坂香月 Arisaka Kazuki|)|([[Seiyū]] - [[Akemi Kanda]]}}: She is the heroine of the story. Basically, she had an unrequited love for Yuuji Kagura when they were young. She's always dreamed that Yuuji would one day grow up to be a handsome, suave young man. When she finally meets him again ten years later she is disappointed to find that's he has become a [[pervert]]. Kazuki is a skilled member of her school's swimming club. Her cooking skills leave much to be desired, however; although she can make her dishes look very good, she tends to add ingredients that end up turning innocuous food into culinary disasters capable of dropping the person eating it where they stand.

;{{Nihongo|Yuuji Kagura|神楽勇治 Kagura Yuuji|)|([[Seiyū]] - [[Hiroyuki Yoshino]]}}: The main [[protagonist]] of the story. Yuuji was once a sweet innocent little boy that Kazuki Arisaka was in love with. (The only thing is that he was somewhat perverted when he was little, but Kazuki doesn't remember that.) That is until he left for 10 years only to come back as a very big pervert. He is constantly finding himself in situations where Kazuki is half-dressed, constantly has perverted fantasies, and sometimes ends up touching girls where he shouldn't be touching them. Despite this, it seems that he does have a nice, non-perverted side (rarely seen) to him that actually values Kazuki's friendship.

;{{Nihongo|Niina Isokawa|磯川ニーナ Isokawa Niina|)|([[Seiyū]] - [[Ayumi Tsuji]]}}: Niina is a blond-haired girl who goes to the same class as Marie. She has an American mother, a Japanese father, and a great deal of energy. She's very [[busty]] for her age and is physically very active and extremely friendly, quickly attaching herself to Marie to the latter's initial displeasure.

;{{Nihongo|Marie Kagura|神楽まりえ Kagura Marie|)|([[Seiyū]] - [[Erino Hazuki]]}}: Yuuji's younger sister. Kazuki described her as being a crybaby when she was younger. Now that she has grown up she isn't quite the crybaby she used to be. Now she can be found pelting her older brother with [[paintball|paint balls]] with the gun found hidden in her teddy bear Seiyu and her other puppets when her brother is acting like a pervert. Marie is mortally afraid of cats and insects, although she will actively flee bugs yet is nearly paralyzed by the presence of cats.

;{{Nihongo|Kousuke Machida|町田洸介 Machida Kousuke|)|([[Seiyū]] - [[Shinji Kawada]]}}:

;{{Nihongo|Chihaya Suzuhara|鈴原ちはや Suzuhara Chihaya|)|([[Seiyū]] - [[Misaki Sekiyama]]}}: Kazuki's friend who apparently likes to spy on people. She apparently speaks with a [[Kansai dialect]] and is much more receptive to Yuuji's perverted nature than Kazuki, claiming 'all boys are like that'. She also doesn't object to being the object of his attention and even goes so far as to give minor displays.

;{{Nihongo|Miu Serizawa|芹沢美宇 Serizawa Miu|)|([[Seiyū]] - [[Shizuka Itou]]}}:

;{{Nihongo|Hatsune Arisaka|有坂初音 Arisaka Hatsune|)|([[Seiyū]] - [[Sayaka Ohara]]}}: Kazuki's older sister, who is constantly trying to get Kazuki and Yuuji together and inadvertently puts them both into embarrassing and perverted situations. There are some indications that she considers the mishaps (and the blowouts following them) funny. Hatsune is good at everything she does, from cooking to sports, and is extremely [[Breasts|well-endowed]]. Hatsune frequently engages in cosplay around the house and can, from time to time, be quite frightening to the people around her. Unlike her younger sister and Marie, Hatsune is perfectly unafraid of insects - or anything else. Although it's implied, Hatsune's true weakness is her sister's, Kazuki, health condition because she proved to be uncoordinated and unskillful in cooking when Kazuki feels ill.

;{{Nihongo|Kazuki's Mother|香月のお母さん Kazuki no okaasan|)|([[Seiyū]] - [[Eri Nakao]]}}: Kazuki's and Hatsune's mother.

;{{Nihongo|Arisaka-san|有坂さん Arisakasan|)|([[Seiyū]] - [[Kenta Miyake]]}}: Kazuki's and Hatsune's father, a professor of [[cultural anthropology]].

;{{Nihongo|Kagura-san|神楽さん Kagura san|)|([[Seiyū]] - [[Keiji Fujiwara]]}}: Marie's and Yuuji's father. Told Marie to shoot her brother with paint balls every time he does something perverted. Apparently he is a hunter, although this is questionable. It has been stated in the anime that he is a [[press photographer]] as his day job, with a side job as [[treasure hunter]]. Marie and Yuuji note his treasure hunting job always felt more like his main occupation, as it caused the family to relocate time and again, whenever Kagura-san got bored with one site and started looking for the next.

List of Ben 10 aliens

[[Image:Omnitrix image.jpg|right|thumb|The Omnitrix before attaching to Ben.]]
The '''Omnitrix''' is a fictional alien device in the [[United States|American]] [[animated television series]] ''[[Ben 10]]''. It allows the main character, [[Ben 10#Benjamin "Ben" Tennyson|Ben Tennyson]], to briefly transform into his choice of various alien forms.

== Description ==
The Omnitrix (a combination of the [[Latin]] words [[omni-]] and trix, literally meaning "all forms") is portrayed as a small alien device that attaches to the wrist of the user like a watch. When a button on the side is pressed, the face pops up and shows a silhouette of an alien. The face can then be twisted to select different aliens. By pushing the face back down, the Omnitrix binds the selected alien's DNA to the user's own, transforming them into the alien of their choice.<ref name="Ben10episode1">{{cite episode | title = And Then There Were 10 | episodelink = And Then There Were 10 | series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2005-12-27 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number = 1 | minutes = }}</ref> Because of the manner in which it operates, the Omnitrix becomes difficult to remove once attached. Large amounts of energy seem to work, though not consistently, and removing it through amputation also works.<ref name="Ben10episode17">{{cite episode | title = Gwen 10| episodelink = Gwen 10 | series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-01-06 | began = | ended = | season = 2 | number = 17 | minutes = }}</ref> The device is described as a prototype by the show's creators, who also hint that [[List of villains in Ben 10#Vilgax|Vilgax]] had something to do with its creation.<ref name="BandaiAlienPowers">{{cite web | title = Bandai interview: Alien Powers | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-26}}</ref>

When used normally, the Omnitrix only allows the wearer to occupy a specific form for a limited amount of time, usually around ten minutes. When the Omnitrix is about to deactivate, it beeps and flashes red.<ref name="Ben10episode1"/> When it finally deactivates, it remains red and is unusable until it recharges and turns green again.<ref name="Ben10episode2">{{cite episode | title = Washington B.C. | episodelink = Washington B.C.| series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-01-13 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number = 2 | minutes = }}</ref> The recharge time is never consistent, even within a single episode, ranging from a few minutes to almost a quarter of an hour. It may also implement a change other than the one Ben selected. It has even refused to activate on several occasions, actually resisting Ben's attempts to push the face down.<ref name="Ben10episode11">{{cite episode | title = A Small Problem | episodelink = A Small Problem (Ben 10 episode) | series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-03-11 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number = 11 | minutes = }}</ref> When damaged or under the influence of a [[virus]], it can malfunction, causing strange mutations in the various alien forms.<ref name="Ben10episode12">{{cite episode | title = Side Effects | episodelink = Side Effects (Ben 10 episode)| series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-03-18 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number = 12 | minutes = }}</ref>

Various methods exist to bypass its normal limits, most of which require some technical knowledge of the device. Four buttons on the face of the Omnitrix act as a combination lock for the Omnitrix's full potential. When a proper code (out of billions) is entered, the Omnitrix will receive some form of enhancement, such as unlocking a new alien form.<ref name="Ben10episode39">{{cite episode| title = The Visitor | episodelink = The Visitor (Ben 10 episode)| series = Ben 10| serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2007-04-21 | began = | ended = | season = 3 | number = 39 | minutes = }}</ref> Another code allows the user to remain in any form indefinitely and switch between different forms at will. Ben accidentally discovers this code, but is forced to clear it later. It is clear that he was able to reactivate it at some point within twenty years into a possible future. By pressing the symbol seen on Ben's alien forms, the user can either switch from any alien form to another or deactivate the Omnitrix, though only Vilgax and Ben's future self have shown the ability to do so,<ref name="Ben10episode27">{{cite episode| title = Ben 10,000 | episodelink = Ben 10,000 | series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-11-25 | began = | ended = | season = 3 | number = 27 | minutes = }}</ref> suggesting more to the feature than the simple touch. On one occasion, the Omnitrix was hit by a power surge in Vilgax's ship, forcing Ben to morph from alien to alien at random for a limited time.<ref name="Ben10episode13">{{cite episode| title = Secrets | episodelink = Secrets | series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = |airdate = 2006-03-25 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number 3 | minnutes = }}</ref>

== Design ==
The Omnitrix's original intention was to provide the various species of the universe a better understanding of each other, as told by Azmuth, its creator. Vilgax, however, only saw combat potential in such a device and sought to possess it. Azmuth, fearing for his own safety, sent the Omnitrix away to parts unknown; this would eventually lead it to Earth.

The Omnitrix is depicted as being more lifeform than machine, being able to grow as any lifeform would to fulfill its function. Every part of the Omnitrix contains alien DNA, as well as its own power source. This is noted in "Dr. Animo and the Mutant Ray", where the face of the Omnitrix, when separated from the device, mutates several creatures and generates a massive amount of power on its own. The Omnitrix also has its own defenses against enemies, though such defenses are mainly in defense of itself and not its host. Should anyone attempt to remove it by force, it will emit a large feedback pulse to repel the assailant. Conversely, those who know how to operate it can do so safely, regardless of whether or not the current user wants them to. It will protect its host on occasion and can recharge instantly if the user is in danger, as it did when Ghostfreak tried to possess Ben in "Ghostfreaked Out" or when Kevin tried to skewer Ben in "Grudge Match" as well as in "Last Laugh" when Ben was confronted with a major villain directly after a fight which ended with the watch timing out.

The DNA in the Omnitrix is collected from various aliens across the galaxy. The Omnitrix can also absorb and integrate alien DNA into itself, as shown in various episodes in the third season. In "Benwolf", the first instance, a gradual transformation takes place during the process, slowly transforming the user into that alien. The later episodes merely have the Omnitrix quickly adding the form to the total selection. A few of the originating species have been featured in various episodes, such as [[List of characters in Ben 10#Tetrax|Tetrax]] (a [[#Diamondhead|Petrosapien]]). Several versions stored in the Omnitrix have noted enhancements from the species they're based on, removing some of the more debilitating weaknesses of those species.

It's been shown that each alien tends to have its own personality, which somewhat intermingles with Ben whenever he becomes them. Ben first notes this in "And Then There Were 10", where he says that it felt like he was both himself and someone else while being Heatblast. Ghostfreak, whose personality was trapped in the Omnitrix, had a particularly strong influence on Ben while Ben was using the form, thus Ben was usually apprehensive about using it. Grey Matter, on the other hand, shows a lighter side of the personality mixing. While in that form, Ben will often make a complicated scientific analysis, then have no idea what he meant by it.

The aliens have also been shown to age as the user does. The thirty-year-old Ben in "Ben 10,000" had alien forms with obvious differences to those of present Ben; future Ben's Stinkfly had much more pronounced insect features and visible pupils, for example. In addition to the aliens changing, the Omnitrix itself had also become larger and changed shape, either by expanding itself or being artificially modified. Conversely, all of Ben's aliens become children when Ben is exposed to water from the [[Fountain of Youth]]. The aliens also adapt the user's clothing; all of Ben's aliens wear the same shirt. Future Ben's Diamondhead and Cannonbolt also have coloring schemes matching his inverted clothing compared to present Ben.

The Omnitrix possesses a self-destruct protocol, which was created in case it ever got into the wrong hands. However, its paranoid creator went somewhat overboard in designing it: not only does it destroy itself, but the resulting explosion will create an energy ripple that will disintegrate most of the universe along with it. Only the Omnitrix's creator, Azmuth, knows how to shut it off.

== Original alien forms ==
In the first season, only ten selectable aliens were on the Omnitrix. Other forms seem to be hidden, requiring specific circumstances to unlock them.

=== Diamondhead ===
[[Image:Diamondhead image.jpg|right|thumb|Diamondhead]]
'''Diamondhead''' is a Petrosapien ("[[Petro-]]" referring to rocks, "sapien" referring to an intelligent being; Petrosapien would mean "intelligent rock") from the planet Petropia (a combination of the Greek "Petro-" and "topos", forming a word similar to "rock place"). Petropia was a crystal-covered world, and its inhabitants are silicon-based lifeforms. The majority of its inhabitants lived in underground [[kingdom]]s.<ref name="BandaiDiamondhead">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Diamondhead profile | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref> However, the planet was destroyed by Vilgax with assistance from the Petrosapian Tetrax, who unknowingly helped him create the weapon that destroyed his home.

Made from an extremely durable crystal, Diamondhead is nearly invulnerable, and a massive amount of force is needed to cause him noticeable harm.<ref name="Ben10episode1"/> Additionally, his sharp crystal body discourages physical contact, as crystal spikes can be grown from any point of contact and retracted just as quickly.<ref name="Ben10episode1"/><ref name="BandaiDiamondhead"/> Diamondhead can also alter his own physiology, allowing him to regrow lost limbs if necessary.<ref name="Ben10episode13"/> Light-based weapons are also useless against Diamondhead, as Diamondhead can use his body as a prism, refracting light and beam-based weaponry and sending it back at its source.<ref name="Ben10episode1"/>

Offensively, Diamondhead can fashion crude weapons from his body, and can even fire crystal shards as projectiles.<ref name="Ben10episode1"/> He can grow crystal on other objects as well.<ref name="Ben10episode5">{{cite episode | title = Hunted | episodelink = Hunted (Ben 10 episode) | series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-01-28 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number = 5 | minutes = }}</ref> Diamondhead is also far stronger than a normal human, which when combined with his self-fashioned weapons allows him to slice through objects with ease.<ref name="Ben10episode1"/>

The one drawback to Diamondhead's crystal form is the crystal itself, which will shatter if exposed to sufficiently strong sonic vibrations or if smashed against a tough object. While Petrosapiens can regenerate limbs, there is a limit to how much damage they can recover from.<ref name="BandaiDiamondhead"/>

Ben first transforms into Diamondhead in "[[And Then There Were 10]]" when he needed to fight [[List of villains in Ben 10#Vilgax|Vilgax's]] giant robot.

=== Fourarms ===
[[Image:Fourarms image.jpg|right|thumb|Fourarms]]
Ben's preferred offensive form is '''Fourarms''', a Tetramand (''tetra'' meaning "four" in [[Greek language|Greek]], ''mand'' being "arms" in [[Latin]]) from the planet Khoros. Once a civilized world, dominated by a confederation of [[city state]]s, Khoros is now an undeveloped desert planet where [[survival of the fittest]] is the only law.<ref name="BandaiFourarms">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Fourarms profile | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref>

Tetramands are giants compared to most species, standing ten feet on average. The harsh wasteland of their home planet has turned the Tetramand race into masters of unarmed combat,<ref name="BandaiFourarms"/> a trait carried over to Fourarms. Possessing four arms, four eyes, armor-plated skin, and extremely dense musculature, few creatures can match a Tetramand like Fourarms in single combat.<ref name="BandaiFourarms"/> Fourarms' greatest asset is his immense physical strength, followed quickly by his heightened endurance and stamina.<ref name="Ben10episode2"/> His power is such that he can create shockwaves simply by smashing the ground<ref name="Ben10episode8">{{cite episode | title = The Alliance | episodelink = The Alliance (Ben 10 episode) | series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-02-18 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number = 8 | minutes = }}</ref> or clapping all four hands together.<ref name="Ben10episode32">{{cite episode | title = Game Over | episodelink = Game Over (Ben 10 episode) | series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2007-02-24 | began = | ended = | season = 3 | number = 32 | minutes = }}</ref> Fourarms' muscular legs also allow him to leap great distances.<ref name="Ben10episode7">{{cite episode | title = Kevin 11 | episodelink = Kevin 11| series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-02-11 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number = 7 | minutes = }}</ref>

In spite of his strengths, Fourarms' dense muscles are also his weakness. Built for power instead of speed, Fourarms is at a disadvantage against faster or smaller opponents. This also forces a dependence on his armored body, as he is incapable of dodging quickly.<ref name="BandaiFourarms"/> His size also makes it difficult for him to use things designed by smaller species. Buildings, especially, are a problem for Fourarms, since he usually cannot fit through doors or in rooms.<ref name="Ben10episode7"/> Controlling his own strength is also a problem, and much of the damage he causes is often unintentional.<ref name="Ben10episode12"/>

Fourarms is the most used alien in the series, since it is the form that most suits Ben's fighting style: blindly rushing at the enemy with little forethought. Ben first transformed into Fourarms in "[[Washington B.C.]]" when he needed to fight the giant mammoth that [[List of villains in Ben 10#Doctor Animo|Dr. Animo]] had reanimated.

=== Ghostfreak ===
[[Image:Ghostfreak image.jpg|left|thumb|Ghostfreak's sun-shielded form]]
[[Image:True ghostfreak.jpg|right|thumb|Ghostfreak's natural form]]
'''Ghostfreak''' is an Ectonurite (''ecto'' playing on [[ectoplasm]] and ''nurite'' possibly playing on [[nocturnal]]) from the planet Anur Phaetos (''anur'' may also play on nocturnal, and ''phaetos'' playing on phantom). Anur Phaetos is a mysterious world, if a world at all. None have seen it and lived to tell about the sight. Some urban legends claim it to be the source of galactic chaos, while others identify it as a dimensional realm instead of a planet. The only thing that can be said for certain is that it's dark, as befits its ghostly inhabitants. Ectonurites seem to be part of a [[hive mind]], which is as dark as the world they live on. As the species possesses a vast [[genetic memory]], this mind is embedded into every strand of DNA and can be used to replicate that mind in its entirety.<ref name="BandaiGhostfreak">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Ghostfreak profile | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref>

As an Ectonurite, Ghostfreak is one of the most terrifying species in the galaxy. He has an exposed and upside-down skull for a head, a single eye, dark blue-gray skin, exposed bones on certain parts of his body, and blue claws.

Like all Ectonurites, Ghostfreak is composed of a protoplasm which he can alter to enable him to phase through solid objects and become invisible, much like ghosts.<ref name="Ben10episode4"/> He can also make others intangible through physical contact.<ref name="Ben10episode38"/> Ghostfreak's ability to pass through solid objects also enables him to possess people for limited periods of time.<ref name="Ben10episode24">{{cite episode | title = Ghostfreaked Out | episodelink = Ghostfreaked Out| series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-07-25 | began = | ended = | season = 2 | number = 24 | minutes = }}</ref> Ectonurites also have powerful psychic abilities such as telepathy and telekinesis, but the extent of these abilities remains unclear.<ref name="BandaiGhostfreak"/>

Due to their perpetually nocturnal lifestyles, Ectonurites have developed into extremely photosensitive creatures.

Ben first transformed into Ghostfreak in "[[Permanent Retirement]]" when he wanted to get away from his [[List of secondary characters in Ben 10#Aunt Vera|Aunt Vera]]. Starting at some point beyond that, Ben has had nightmares involving Ghostfreak, making Ghostfreak one of the lesser-used forms. This version of Ghostfreak retained Ghostfreak's original personality in the strand of DNA taken as a sample. [[List of villains in Ben 10#Ghostfreak|Ghostfreak]] eventually forces his way free,<ref name="Ben10episode24"/> removing Ben's ability to use the form in the process. Ben regains the form in "[[Be Afraid of the Dark]]", but as a natural Ectonurite, not the sunlight-shielded version.<ref name="Ben10episode38"/> Whether this version retains the personality of its source is unclear.

=== Grey Matter ===
[[Image:Grey matter image.jpg|right|thumb|Grey Matter]]
'''Grey Matter''' (a play on actual [[grey matter]], as well as a play on [[Greys]], the stereotypical aliens) is a Galvan (a play on [[galvanization]]) from the planet Galvan Prime. Despite being tiny compared to other planets, Galvan Prime is one of the most scientifically advanced worlds in the galaxy and home to one of the most powerful empires in existence. The Galvans originally had no empire to speak of, instead being kept as pets by other races. They were then employed by other species as industrial technicians, spies, and saboteurs once their intelligence became known. The Galvans were smart enough to keep the best technology for themselves, eventually founding a powerful empire based on secrets they had hoarded.<ref name="BandaiGreyMatter">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Grey Matter profile | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref> It was a Galvan that created the Omnitrix.

Being from a tiny world, Grey Matter is equally tiny, being only around five inches tall. His body consists of soft and flexible bones, allowing him to squeeze into tight spaces or quickly escape from danger.<ref name="Ben10episode11"/> His teeth are sharp and his tongue is long and sticky.<ref name="Ben10episode11"/> With his slimy skin, Grey Matter can stick to almost any surface.<ref name="Ben10episode5"/> The slime also makes him equally difficult to grab.<ref name="Ben10episode11"/> Regardless, Grey Matter is easily stomped on because of his small size.<ref name="BandaiGreyMatter"/> Not built for combat, Grey Matter evades and outsmarts his enemies, rather than fighting them head on.<ref name="Ben10episode11"/>

Galvans are raised to be extremely intelligent, and bred to enter complex machines and operate them from the inside. This allows them to understand and operate virtually any machine, even if they've never seen it before.<ref name="Ben10episode5"/> These traits are inherent, as Ben benefits from the enhanced intelligence when using Grey Matter. Like any Galvan, Grey Matter can discern the purpose of most devices after a simple glance, and can operate any device he can get ahold of. Ben is often surprised by what he knows when using this form, and does not always fully comprehend it.<ref name="Ben10episode11"/>

Ben first transformed into Grey Matter in "[[Washington B.C.]]" when he saw that a gold Sumo Slammer card could be found in a box of cereal. [[Ben 10#Gwendolyn "Gwen" Tennyson|Gwen]] found him looking for the card in the cereal boxes at the supermarket. Since then, Grey Matter has been his form of choice when needing to be stealthy or intelligent, but has also been a popular target for accidental transformations.<ref name="Ben10episode11"/>

=== Heatblast ===
[[Image:Heatblast image.jpg|right|thumb|Heatblast]]
'''Heatblast''' is a Pyronite (''pyro'' meaning fire) from the star Pyros (also playing on the word "pyro"). Pyros is unique in the galaxy, being the only homeworld that doubles as a fully-functioning sun. The surface of Pyros is like any star, but also semi-solid in some places. Solar flares and magma flows are common, and its magma-based inhabitants are all composed of a flame-like energy. Pyronites even draw strength and nourishment from the heat of the star itself.<ref name="BandaiHeatblast">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Heatblast profile | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref>

Constantly bombarded by extreme heat, Pyronites have learned to control heat through willpower alone. As a Pyronite, Heatblast can produce heat from his body, creating flame. He can mold the flame into many forms, and even project it at his enemies.<ref name="Ben10episode1"/> Through flame manipulation, Heatblast can also create transportational vortexes<ref name="Ben10episode2"/> and achieve flight.<ref name="Ben10episode8"/> Pyronites can also absorb heat, so they can put out fires just as easily as starting them.<ref name="Ben10episode33">{{cite episode | title = Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures | episodelink = Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures | series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-03-03 | began = | ended = | season = 3 | number = 7 | minutes = }}</ref> When angry, Heatblast can emit intense heat in all directions. A Pyronite's unique physiology also causes strange reactions when dealing with terrestrial viruses. When affected by a common cold, Heatblast's normally heat-based physiology is reversed, causing him to emit freezing vapor rather than flames.<ref name="Ben10episode12"/>

A being made of living flame, Heatblast is highly resistant to injury, even when thrown through objects such as buildings or concrete.<ref name="Ben10episode13"/> On the other hand, Pyronites do not respond well to those things that extinguish fire. While small amounts of such materials simply evaporate, large amounts over an extended period can kill a Pyronite.<ref name="Ben10episode2"/> The amount necessary is considerable, though, as Heatblast's own internal heat is great enough that he can swim for short periods to no ill effect.<ref name="Ben10episode33"/> As another downside of being composed of flame, Heatblast cannot lower this body temperature, causing him to burn whatever he touches after a short period and even ignite nearby objects unintentionally.<ref name="Ben10episode1"/>

Heatblast is Ben's first transformation, which was activated in "[[And Then There Were 10]]" when Ben tried to take off the Omnitrix.

=== Ripjaws ===
[[Image:Ripjaw image.jpg|right|thumb|Ripjaws]]
The aquatic alien '''Ripjaws''' is a Pisccis Volann (possibly a play on "vorare", meaning "to prey upon") of the water planet Pisccis (a play on "Pisces", Latin for fish). Pisccis is one giant ocean, home to thousands of exotic species. Volanns are not the biggest fish in the Pisccian sea, but are definitely one of the most dangerous. Part [[alligator]], part [[eel]], part [[anglerfish]], and part [[leech]], few can match the Volanns underwater.<ref name="BandaiRipjaws">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Ripjaws profile | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref>

Ripjaws' most notable asset is his ability to breathe underwater.<ref name="Ben10episode3">{{cite episode | title = The Krakken | episodelink = The Krakken| series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-01-14 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number = 3 | minutes = }}</ref> As the sole form able to survive underwater for extended periods of time, Ripjaws is usually Ben's only way to deal with aquatic opponents. With his powerful tail and slimy scales, Ripjaws is capable of incredible speed and agility in the water.<ref name="Ben10episode3"/> Ripjaws can also withstand a remarkable amount of pressure,<ref name="Ben10episode23">{{cite episode | title = They Lurk Below | episodelink = They Lurk Below| series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-07-18 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number = 23 | minutes = }}</ref> and his luminescent dangler allows him to see in the darkest of depths (or otherwise dark areas),<ref name="Ben10episode14">{{cite episode | title = Truth | episodelink = Truth (Ben 10 episode)| series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-05-29 | began = | ended = | season = 2 | number = 14 | minutes = }}</ref> making him optimal for any sort of underwater mission. His huge mouth is filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth that can chomp through almost anything, and his lower jaw can unhinge to allow him to swallow objects in a single bite.<ref name="Ben10episode3"/> Alternatively, Ripjaws can use his claw-tipped fins to rip his enemies to shreds.<ref name="Ben10episode23"/>

Being creatures of the sea, Volanns must keep their gills wet or they will dehydrate rapidly, causing them to suffocate on dry land.<ref name="BandaiRipjaws"/> Ripjaws has a pair of legs hidden within his tail, allowing him to move on land, but is still subject to the necessity for water.<ref name="Ben10episode14"/>

Ben first transformed into Ripjaws in "[[The Krakken]]" in order to take the [[List of secondary characters in Ben 10#Krakken|Krakken's]] eggs back from [[List of villains in Ben 10#Jonah Melville|Jonah Melville]]. Due to the extremely specific conditions required to maintain Ripjaws, he has become more of an auxiliary alien. As such, he is one of the least-used forms on the Omnitrix (being absent for the entirety of the third season).

=== Stinkfly ===
[[Image:Stinkfly image.jpg|right|thumb|Stinkfly]]
Another of Ben's more commonly used forms, '''Stinkfly''' is a Lepidopterran from the planet Lepidopterra (a play on [[lepidoptera]], the scientific name for butterflies and moths). Lepidopterra is a swamp planet whose numerous species live among a wide variety of giant plants. Meant to be a combination of various Earth insects (dragonflies, crickets, and praying mantis' specifically),<ref name="BandaiWildStinky">{{cite web | title = Bandai interview: Wild & Stinky | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref> Lepidopterrans are an intelligent insectoid race that reside in a complex of giant hives, each ruled by its own queen.<ref name="BandaiStinkfly">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Stinkfly profile | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref>

Stinkfly's most valuable assets are his wings. These thin, rapidly flapping wings grant Stinkfly amazing speed and agility in the air.<ref name="Ben10episode2"/> They are strong enough to allow Stinkfly to fly while carrying people and objects heavier than himself;<ref name="Ben10episode13"/> unfortunately, Stinkfly's natural stench tends to nauseate his passengers.<ref name="Ben10episode2"/> Stinkfly's four eye stalks give him a wider range of vision from the sky.<ref name="Ben10episode2"/> In addition, Stinkfly can excrete a wide array of goos and gasses from the pollen ducts in his eye stalks and mouth, ranging from an immobilizing jelly to a highly combustible toxin.<ref name="Ben10episode2"/><ref name="Ben10episode16">{{cite episode | title = Grudge Match | episodelink = Grudge Match (Ben 10 episode)| series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-06-07 | began = | ended = | season = 2 | number = 16 | minutes = }}</ref> Ben's child Stinkfly (Stinkyfly) could also do the same through [[Flatulence|flatulation]], creating a potent [[herbicide]]. Stinkfly has a razor-sharp tail and four pincers for legs.<ref name="Ben10episode6">{{cite episode | title = Tourist Trap | episodelink = Tourist Trap (Ben 10 episode)| series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-02-04 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number = 6 | minutes = }}</ref> While designed mainly for grappling, the hard spikes on their forearms can also be used as weapons in battle.<ref name="BandaiStinkfly"/>

Like most insects, Lepidopterrans are extremely vulnerable to any kind of chemical poison or gas. Although their exoskeleton bodies are fairly strong, their wings are extremely fragile and easy to damage.<ref name="BandaiStinkfly"/> Water especially is a problem for Stinkfly; it can render him incapable of flying if too much gets on his wings.<ref name="Ben10episode2"/> Furthermore, he is unable to swim due to the small surface area of his limbs.<ref name="Ben10episode23"/> A more minor inconvenience is Stinkfly's intense body odor (hence the name).

Ben first transformed into Stinkfly in "[[Washington B.C.]]" when he had to save Gwen after she fell from the Washington Monument. Stinkfly is Ben's form of choice when it comes to stopping [[free fall]]s or for transporting people or objects.

=== Upgrade ===
[[Image:Upgrade img2.JPG|right|thumb|Upgrade]]
'''Upgrade''' is a Galvanic Mechomorph (''mecho-'' meaning machine and ''-morph'' meaning transform) of the planet Galvan B, a formerly uninhabited moon orbiting Galvan Prime. Though originally uninhabited, Galvan B was accidentally brought to life when [[#Grey Matter|Galvan]] scientists introduced self-replicating nanotechnology to the moon, which bonded with the moon's minerals and created sentient life. Galvanic Mechomorphs are built from the nanotechnology that covers their planet.<ref name="BandaiUpgrade">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Upgrade profile | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref>

Upgrade is a biomechanical being with liquid metallic skin and complex systems of self-forming organic circuits.<ref name="BandaiUpgrade"/> Made of liquid metal, Upgrade can reshape his body into various forms, though he never takes any non-humanoid form. It also allows him to stretch his body to an extent, allowing him to glide or float like a hang-glider or parachute or to mold his arms into physical weapons (for example, [[morning star (weapon)|morning star]]s).<ref name="Ben10episode13"/><ref name="Ben10episode32"/> His ability to reshape himself allows for Upgrade's primary ability: made of nanotechnology, Upgrade can merge with and upgrade any technology within reach by spreading over it like liquid, enhancing it far beyond its original design. The size of the device is inconsequential. While merged with a device, Upgrade possesses it, controlling it as he would his own body.<ref name="Ben10episode4"/> Through the same principle, Upgrade can also phase through metallic surfaces and travel through wires.<ref name="Ben10episode28"/> Upgrade cannot possess biological creatures, however,<ref name="BandaiUpgrade"/> and sentient robots are more difficult for him to control.<ref name="Ben10episode16"/> Even without a machine at hand, Upgrade can reconfigure his form around his eye in order to fire a plasma beam from it.<ref name="Ben10episode6"/> Upgrade is also capable of forming simple constructs from plasma, such as spikes.<ref name="Ben10episode12"/>

As Upgrade can "melt" to avoid harm, most standard projectile weapons are ineffective against him, and Upgrade will quickly regenerate from any damage taken.<ref name="Ben10episode28">{{cite episode| title = Midnight Madness | episodelink = Midnight Madness (Ben 10 episode) | series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-12-02 | began = | ended = | season = 3 | number = 28 | minutes = }}</ref> He can also liquify to slip his way out of from bindings.<ref name="Ben10episode34">{{cite episode | title = Under Wraps | episodelink = Under Wraps (Ben 10 episode)| series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2007-03-10 | began = | ended = | season = 3 | number = 34 | minutes = }}</ref> Entirely robotic, Upgrade can even survive in a vacuum.<ref name="Ben10episode38"/> Upgrade's liquid-metal composition can work against him, though; electrical attacks are far more effective and electromagnetic pulses can render him useless.<ref name="Ben10episode6"/> Furthermore, any sort of metal corrosive can upset Upgrade's delicate internal workings and wreak havoc on his systems.<ref name="BandaiUpgrade"/> Finally, Upgrade can be stretched beyond his natural limits, which causes pain, but the aforementioned melting ability allows him to slip free in most cases.

Ben first transformed into Upgrade in [[Permanent Retirement (Ben 10 episode)|"Permanent Retirement"]] to stop some criminals who were robbing an ATM.

=== Wildmutt ===
[[Image:Wildmutt image.jpg|right|thumb|Wildmutt]]
A less humanoid Omnitrix alien, '''Wildmutt''' is a Vulpimancer from the planet Vulpin (a play on [[vulpine]], which means fox). Vulpin is a pitch black planet at the edge of the galaxy, used as an intergalactic dumping ground. The ecosystem of the planet has been poisoned beyond compare because of this, and the few creatures that survive here do so under subzero temperatures. Vulpimancers are one of the few creatures to survive on Vulpin, and are no less mutated than the planet itself.<ref name="BandaiWildmutt">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Wildmutt profile | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref> Ranging from human size to several times that, Vulpimancers share few common characteristics. Their only common feature is the general shape of their bodies, being a cross between a lion and a gorilla.<ref name="BandaiWildStinky"/> [[List of characters in Ben 10#Benjamin "Ben" Tennyson|Ben 10,000's]] Wildmutt has much more pronounced feline traits, including stripes and a tail.<ref name="Ben10episode27">{{cite episode| title = Ben 10,000 | episodelink = Ben 10,000 | series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-11-25 | began = | ended = | season = 3 | number = 27 | minutes = }}</ref>

Wildmutt can move at high speeds in almost any terrain using his powerful, apelike arms. Wildmutt has incredible agility and athletic ability despite having no sense of sight. Despite his blindness, Wildmutt "sees" with his heightened senses of smell and hearing, which is depicted as functioning somewhat like a [[thermography|thermograph sensor]].<ref name="Ben10episode1"/> This is supplemented with the porcupine-like quills on his back, which serve both as weapons and finely tuned sense receptors that can sense things most other creatures cannot. From sound to heat, few things escape Wildmutt's radar-like sight. Though Wildmutt has not used this ability yet, Vulpimancers can fire the quills on their backs like projectiles. While rolling, Vulpimancers become spiked balls that nothing can touch.<ref name="BandaiWildmutt"/>

Because they have no eyes, Vulpimancers do have some trouble with finer movement, and a select few enemies have ways of getting close to them undetected.<ref name="BandaiWildmutt"/> Vulpimancers also lack complicated verbal communication, instead relying on snarls and growls, so they cannot talk down a powerful enemy.<ref name="Ben10episode4"/> Because he relies on his sense of smell and hearing to see, Wildmutt is almost incapacitated by loud noise<ref name="Ben10episode14"/> and is rendered useless if his nose or ears are clogged.<ref name="Ben10episode12"/>

Ben first transformed into Wildmutt in "[[And Then There Were 10]]" after his second experiment with the Omnitrix. This was Ben's first intentional transformation.

=== XLR8 ===
[[Image:Xlr8 image.jpg|right|thumb|XLR8]]
'''XLR8''' (read as "accelerate") is a Kineceleran (a [[portmanteau]] of the words 'kinetic' and 'accelerate') from the planet Kinet (the first part of [[kinetic]], which is movement energy). Kinet is an electrically charged world, where electrical storms rapidly orbit the sun and everything is accelerated. Like their homeworld, Kinecelerans are accelerated, and live their lives just as quickly as their planet changes.<ref name="BandaiXLR8">{{cite web | title = Bandai's XLR8 profile | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref>

XLR8 appears to be the alien that the Omnitrix had altered the most from his species; Kinecelerans are vaguely elfin in appearance, with long hair, blue skin, pointed ears, large tails, and oversized feet. Overall, they are meant to resemble [[velociraptor]]s.<ref name="BandaiBrainsMuscle">{{cite web | title = Bandai interview: Brains & Muscle | work = | url = http://www.bandai.com/ben10/ | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref> On the other hand, XLR8 has wheels for feet and wears a helmet with a windshield.<ref name="Ben10episode1"/> Ben 10,000's XLR8 also has a scanner built into the helmet, though whether or not Ben has a similar ability is unclear.<ref name="Ben10episode27"/>

Like all Kinecelerans, XLR8 is naturally suited to speed, being able to reach speeds of more than 500 miles per hour by Earth standards almost instantly. This extreme speed comes from manipulating friction, which allows a Kineceleran to run up walls,<ref name="Ben10episode34"/> create tornadoes through centrifugal force,<ref name="Ben10episode7"/> and create huge stores of static electricity to unleash upon unsuspecting opponents,<ref name="BandaiXLR8"/> though XLR8 has not performed the last of those three. With his enhanced speed, XLR8 can deliver multiple attacks in rapid succession<ref name="Ben10episode13"/> and can cut through objects with rapid jabs of his scissor-like claws.<ref name="Ben10episode20">{{cite episode | title = Camp Fear | episodelink = Camp Fear (Ben 10 episode)| series = Ben 10 | serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-06-21 | began = | ended = | season = 1 | number = 20 | minutes = }}</ref> Amazing reflexes accompany this speed, allowing XLR8 to quickly dodge incoming barrages of projectiles with relative ease.<ref name="Ben10episode8"/>

Despite their speed, Kinecelerans aren't warriors. They aren't built to fight, nor do they stop to think about their next move. A Kineceleran's natural speed is useless on non-solid ground like mud, ice, and especially water, which causes them to lose control of their momentum. Water is especially problematic, as it does not go well with the static electricity they build up from their constant movement.<ref name="BandaiXLR8"/> XLR8's wheeled feet seem to negate this; while using the form, Ben quickly adapts to any surface, including water.<ref name="Ben10episode3"/> The most adept Kinecelerans are able to enter the mythical "speed zone", an entirely different temporal dimension where the rest of the world stops and reality takes on different rules. The biggest threats to Kinecelerans are magnets and charged pulses, which causes them to lose their footing and spin out of control.<ref name="BandaiXLR8"/>

Ben first transformed into XLR8 in "[[And Then There Were 10]]" when he decided to play around a bit with his newfound power. He used the form to get revenge on some bullies that he fought with earlier in the episode. By the possible future seen in "[[Ben 10,000]]", XLR8 becomes Ben's most-used form; having unlocked the Omnitrix's master code, Ben reverts into XLR8 rather than his human form whenever he is not fighting.

== Additional alien forms ==
In the second season, Ben begins discovering new alien forms as a result of random transformations. Accessing these aliens seems to be more difficult than the first ten forms, but become simple to access after the first transformation. During the third season, Ben gains access to new alien forms from the Omnitrix's ability to absorb and integrate alien DNA upon contact.

=== Benmummy ===
[[Image:BenMummy.JPG|right|thumb|Benmummy]]
'''Benmummy''''s species and planet have not yet been made known. He is a [[mummy]]-like alien composed almost entirely of a bandage-like material, akin to the linen used on real mummies. Aliens of this species can stretch their bandages to great lengths and control them even when separated from its main body. This setup also allows them to reshape their bodies at will, splitting themselves apart to dodge attacks and reforming to counter-attack. However, the material that makes up a mummy's body is relatively weak, allowing it to be torn fairly easily by strong enough beings or other equivalent forces. To compensate for its relatively weak form, these aliens can recover from basically any injury, including being torn to shreds, almost instantly and with no visible repercussions.<ref name="Ben10episode34"/> When Ben first uses the form, he has trouble figuring out how to control it; Ben quickly discovers how to stretch his bandages, but has not displayed knowledge of the advanced reshaping techniques.<ref name = "Ben10episode37">{{cite episode| title = The Return| episodelink = The Return (Ben 10 episode)| series = Ben 10| serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2007-04-07 | began = | ended = | season = 3 | number = 37 | minutes = }}</ref>

Benmummy's bandages make him extremely light, allowing him to be thrown by beings with human strength<ref name="Ben10episode37"/> or blown away by strong enough winds.<ref name="Ben10episode38"/> Despite his build, however, Benmummy is incredibly strong, and can throw beings as heavy as Diamondhead with little effort.<ref name="Ben10episode34"/> His composition also allows him to survive in a vacuum.<ref name="Ben10episode38"/>

Benmummy differs slightly from the other [[List of villains in Ben 10#Mummy Alien|mummy alien]] seen. His eyes and the gaps between his bandages glow green instead of purple. Benmummy also has black bracers and greaves, as well as a smaller mask and the Omnitrix symbol on his left shoulder. Benmummy can speak, even though the original seems to be mute.<ref name="Ben10episode37"/>

Ben gains this form in "[[Under Wraps (Ben 10 episode)|Under Wraps]]" when another mummy alien inadvertently adds its DNA to the Omnitrix. Ben first uses the form in "[[The Return (Ben 10 episode)|The Return]]" to fight off the [[List of villains in Ben 10#Yenaldooshi|Yenaldooshi]]. The credits give the name "Benmummy," though Ben has not named it yet on-screen.<ref name="Ben10episode37"/>

=== Benvicktor ===
[[Image:Benvicktor.jpg‎|right|thumb|Benvicktor]]
'''Benvicktor''' is another alien whose planet and species information have not been divulged. This species of alien appears to be based on [[Frankenstein's monster]] from [[Mary Shelley]]'s ''[[Frankenstein]]''. Rather than sharing the same [[decomposition|gruesome composition]], though, Benvicktor's species appears to be robotic. This allows them to survive in vacuums<ref name="Ben10episode38"/> and enhance themselves with mechanical devices.<ref name="Ben10episode37"/> Like his species, Benvicktor has the ability to generate and project a lightning-like stream of energy, which is capable of travelling through a vacuum without a conductor. This also gives him the ability to magnetically charge his metal body in order to stand firmly on metal surfaces.<ref name="Ben10episode38"/> The metal body makes Benvicktor strong and durable.<ref name="Ben10episode37"/>

Benvicktor looks slightly different than [[List of villains in Ben 10#Doctor Vicktor|Doctor Vicktor]], the source alien. Benvicktor sports longer hair, a smaller left eye (Vicktor's appears to be mechanical), and generates green lightning rather than purple.<ref name="Ben10episode38"/>

Ben first gains this form while battling with Doctor Vicktor in "[[Be Afraid of the Dark]]", during which time Vicktor accidentally grabs the Omnitrix. Ben uses the form later in the same episode to fight Ghostfreak. The credits give the form's name as Benvicktor, even though Ben himself has yet to name it.<ref name="Ben10episode38"/>

=== Benwolf ===
[[Image:Benwolf2.jpg|right|thumb|Benwolf half-transformed]]
'''Benwolf''' is a Loboan (as in Lobo, spanish for wolf) from the planet Luna Lobo (literally translating from [[Spanish (language)|Spanish]] as "Wolf Moon," a reference to his being a werewolf of sorts). In keeping with his werewolf appearance, Benwolf has both enhanced strength, speed, and agility. He also has canine-like senses more acute than that of humans;<ref name="Ben10episode31">{{cite episode| title = Benwolf | episodelink = Benwolf (Ben 10 episode)| series = Ben 10| serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2007-02-17 | began = | ended = | season = 3 | number = 31 | minutes = }}</ref> like canines, however, Loboans are colorblind.<ref name="Ben10episode37"/> Benwolf's primary weapons are his claws and fangs. Like other Loboans, Benwolf has a quadri-hinged [[mandible]]d mouth akin to that of a [[Sangheili]]. By opening his mouth completely, Benwolf can emit a long-range, ultrasonic howl, which is capable of doing concussive damage.<ref name = "Ben10episode31"/> This howl is capable of shattering rocks<ref name="Ben10episode37"/> and can propel Benwolf through the air using recoil if need be.<ref name = "Ben10episode31"/>

Ben obtains this form in [[Benwolf (Ben 10 episode)|the episode of the same name]] after an alien of the same species scratched the Omnitrix, causing its DNA to be added into Ben's selection of aliens. Unlike his other transformations, Ben gradually transitions into Benwolf rather than changing instantaneously. During this transformation, Ben displays several animalistic tendencies, such as scratching with his leg. Whether this carries over to Benwolf is unclear due to his limited appearances.

=== Cannonbolt ===
[[Image:Cannonbolt.jpg|right|thumb|Cannonbolt]]
'''Cannonbolt''' is an Arburian Pelarota (based on ''pelota'', [[Spanish Language|Spanish]] for "ball" and ''rota'', a play on "rotation"). This species is now mostly (if not completely) extinct. [[List of villains in Ben 10#The Great One|The Great One]] destroyed their planet shortly before Ben discovers the form.<ref name="Ben10episode15">{{cite episode| title = The Big Tick | episodelink = The Big Tick (Ben 10 episode)| series = Ben 10| serieslink = Ben 10 | credits = | network = [[Cartoon Network]] | station = | city = | airdate = 2006-05-30 | began = | ended = | season = 2 | number = 15 | minutes = }}</ref>

Cannonbolt is a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in natural armor plating on the back, shoulders, and the backs of his arms. Cannonbolt can roll into a ball like an [[armadillo]] or [[pillbug]] to encase himself in this plating. There is enough space within the shell while rolled up to protect and transport people or objects.<ref name = "Ben10episode20"/> When in ball form, Cannonbolt can increase his rotational momentum and roll into enemies as an attack, as well as [[ricochet]] off surfaces.<ref name="Ben10episode15"/> However, he is subject to the [[physical law]]s of reflection and conservation of momentum, meaning that he has difficulty stopping or controlling his direction if he picks up speed.<ref name="Ben10episode32"/>

Cannonbolt's armored shell is extremely resistant. The plates are safe from corrosives and will reflect energy-based attacks.<ref name="Ben10episode15"/> The shell is durable enough to survive a free fall from the upper limits of the Earth's atmosphere, including the heat of [[atmospheric reentry]], and still leave Cannonbolt and anything inside its shell completely uninjured.<ref name="Ben10episode38"/>

When not using his abilities, Cannonbolt is extremely clumsy and slow. His bulk, high center of gravity, and stubby legs restrict his movement and make balancing difficult, frequently causing him to fall on his back or face.<ref name="Ben10episode15"/> However, recent episodes show Cannonbolt running, and even jumping, suggesting that Ben is now more adept at balancing as Cannonbolt.<ref name = "Ben10episode31"/>

The information from the Bandai Alien Collection toy for Cannonbolt is somewhat contradictory to that given in the show. The profile that comes with the toy refers to his species as a Vulpinic Tortugan (tortuga is Spanish for "turtle") from the planet Vulpin, which Wildmutt also originates from. The profile also suggests that Cannonbolt is capable of releasing a powerful chemical blast, though it does not explain where that chemical is released from.<ref name="BandaiCannonbolt">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Cannonbolt profile at Ben10Toys.net | work = | url = http://www.ben10toys.net/alienprofiles/omnitrix/cannonbolt.htm | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref>

Cannonbolt first appears in "The Big Tick" as an accidental transformation. Cannonbolt is the first new alien to appear on the Omnitrix. Despite Ben's initial dislike of the form, it has since become one of the most commonly used forms in the series and replaced Ghostfreak in the opening theme as Ghostfreak had escaped from the Omnitrix at the time.

=== Ditto ===
[[Image:Ditto.jpg|thumb|Ditto and his clone.]]
'''Ditto''' is a small, humanoid alien with the ability to clone himself without limit. Every clone operates independently, regardless of whether or not Ben wants them to, and each clone is indistinguishable from the others. Though the clones are autonomous, pain felt by one clone is transmitted to the rest, and the death of one will result in the death of the rest, as demonstrated by [[list of villains in Ben 10#Doctor Animo|Dr. Animo]]'s Ditto-enhanced Stinkfly mutants. The cloned Dittos can also merge back into an individual entity if they desire.

When the Omnitrix times out, the Ditto clones are forcibly recombined into one before the transformation reverts. If one or more clones are isolated from each other when the Omnitrix times out, however, the timer will reset and Ben won't revert back into human form until they are reunited. This only seems to apply when a clone is physically unable to reunite with the others; in open air, the clones will float to each other over great distances in order to facilitate the transformation. It is implied that the reset "glitch" forces the Omnitrix into a state where the next transformation is timed out much faster than usual, due to the strain of being active through multiple timeouts.

Though Ditto's cloning ability is limitless, each Ditto is no stronger or faster than their size suggests, necessitating distractions and trickery as opposed to outright fighting. Furthermore, the shared weakness of every single Ditto somewhat negates the usefulness of making large numbers of clones.

Ditto first appears in "Divided We Stand" as an accidental transformation.
{{-}}

=== Upchuck ===
[[Image:UpchuckAlien.jpg|right|thumb|Upchuck]]
'''Upchuck''' is a Gourmand (from the [[Gourmand|French word]] meaning glutton) from the planet Peptos XI (Peptos being the Greek word for 'cooked' or 'digested'[http://www.allwords.com/word-peptic.html]).<ref name="BandaiUpchuck">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Upchuck profile at Ben10Toys.net | work = | url = http://www.ben10toys.net/alienprofiles/omnitrix/upchuck.htm | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref> Upchuck has four strong, adhesive [[tongue]]s that can stretch to great lengths, allowing Upchuck to latch onto large objects and reel them in with relative ease. Upchuck's mouth and stomach also stretch, allowing him to swallow and digest objects larger than himself.<ref name="Ben10episode39"/>

As a Gourmand, Upchuck possesses several acid-filled stomachs that dissolve all forms of matter. The items ingested become one of a wide array of liquids and gases that can be expelled at will with great accuracy.<ref name="BandaiUpchuck"/> Some of these byproducts will even explode when spat.<ref name="Ben10episode39"/>

Upchuck first appears in the episode "[[The Visitor (Ben 10 episode)|The Visitor]]", when an alien named [[List of characters in Ben 10#Xylene|Xylene]] enters a code into the Omnitrix, activating the form.

=== Way Big ===
[[Image:Ben 10 Waybig.png|right|thumb|Way Big]]
'''Way Big''' is an enormous alien, the size of a small skyscraper. His species and home planet are unknown, but his appearance is somewhat reminiscent of [[tokusatsu]] super heroes, particularly those of the [[Ultra Series]]. He appears to be a combination of various aliens with Stinkfly's characteristic of having four eyes, Cannonbolt's eyes, Fourarms's strength, Ripjaws's gills, and Grey Matter's Head. Way Big's size grants him extraordinary strength and invulnerability to some attacks; however, in proportion to his size, Way Big does not seem to be any stronger or more durable than normal, as Vilgax is able to cause him pain by digging in with his sharp claws.

Way Big first appears in ''[[Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix]]'', when [[List of characters in Ben 10#Azmuth|Azmuth]] activates it on the Omnitrix so Ben can fight Vilgax and his forces.

=== Wildvine ===
[[Image:Plant alien image.jpg|right|thumb|Wildvine]]
'''Wildvine''' is a Florauna (a combination of [[flora]] and [[fauna]]) from the planet Flors Verdance (a combination of flora and ''verdens'', [[Latin]] for green). They are plant-based aliens with five vine-like legs, four-fingered claws, and venus flytrap-shaped flaps covering their heads. When exposed to cold, kept from sunlight, or deprived of a water source, however, they quickly wither up.<ref name="BandaiWildvine">{{cite web | title = Bandai's Wildvine profile at Ben10Toys.net | work = | url = http://www.ben10toys.net/alienprofiles/omnitrix/wildvine.htm | accessdate = 2007-04-18}}</ref> This does not seem to be a problem for Wildvine, likely due to the limited periods in which it is used.

As a Florauna, Wildvine can grow any part of his body at will, allowing him to stretch his limbs to great extent and even allowing him to grow thorns.<ref name="Ben10episode20"/> Being plant-based, Wildvine has the ability to merge with earth plants.<ref name="Ben10episode39"/> He can also dig with realitive ease and spread his tendrils underground to attack.<ref name="Ben10episode31"/> Wildvine also has regrowable seeds on his back which can be used as explosives,<ref name="Ben10episode20"/> knock-out grenades,<ref name="Ben10episode28"/> or smoke grenades.<ref name="Ben10episode33"/>

Wildvine first appears in the episode "[[Camp Fear (Ben 10 episode)|Camp Fear]]" as an accidental transformation.

== Future alien forms ==
Twenty years into a possible future, a thirty-year old version of Ben has access to 10,000 different aliens, of which he demonstrates three not yet accessible by the present Ben. The first is Spitter, a large, blowfish-like alien with the power to spit slime at high pressures. The second is a green [[List of villains in Ben 10#Megawhatts|Megawhatt]]. The last alien is a blue, lizard-like alien named Articguana that can breathe freezing vapor.<ref name="Ben10episode27"/>

'''''In the House''''' was a television [[sitcom]] that premiered [[April 10]], [[1995]] originally on [[NBC]] (seasons 1 and 2 aired on [[NBC]], and seasons 3, 4, and 5 aired on [[UPN]]). The series starred [[LL Cool J]] and [[Maia Campbell]]. The series ran for five seasons, and aired its last episode on [[August 11]], [[1999]].

==Synopsis==
Marion Hill ([[LL Cool J]]) is a former [[National Football League|professional football]] player with the [[Oakland Raiders|Los Angeles Raiders]]. Because of his financial predicament, Marion is forced to rent out most rooms in his house to single mother Jackie Warren ([[Debbie Allen]]) and her two children, Tiffany Warren ([[Maia Campbell]]) and Austin Warren ([[Jeffery Wood]]). In subsequent seasons, Debbie Allen and Jeffery Wood exited the show and the series was restructured with Marion becoming the legal guardian for Tiffany because Jackie and Austin moved east.

The show was noted for its unique take on the character of Marion Hill. LL Cool J stated in interviews that he was interested in making Marion a more well rounded character than is often depicted of male African Americans in television and cinema. To that end, Marion used various "alternative" means of healing from his sports injuries, such as [[meditation]], [[aromatherapy]], [[visualization]], etc. A running gag on the show during the first few seasons was the other characters' belittlement of Marion's non-mainstream spiritual and [[holistic]] healing interests.

Marion also owned a [[Los Angeles]] sports clinic. One of his coworkers was the flirtatious Tonia Harris ([[Kim Wayans]]), and two later additions to the show were Dr. Maxwell "Max" Stanton ([[Alfonso Ribeiro]]) and his fiancée, Mercedes Langford ([[Lark Voorhies]]).

The show is a rarity, because it was videotaped during its entire run, but processed to look like it was on film during its NBC run (as was ''[[The John Larroquette Show]]''.) Subsequent episodes on UPN were videotaped, but not processed, so the show has different "looks" in reruns, depending on which season the episode is from.

==Trivia==
* Likely based on the career and life of San Diego Chargers running back [[Marion Butts]].{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

* Marion was a [[Vegetarianism|vegetarian]].

* The show had a heavy ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|Fresh Prince]]'' influence on it, partially due to the shows having the same producers.
*During the second season, [[Alfonso Ribeiro]] reprised his ''Fresh Prince'' role of [[Carlton Banks]], and [[Tatyana Ali]] played his sister [[Ashley Banks]]. Alfonso would later return to the show as Maxwell "Max" Stanton.
*When Max and Mercedes got married, [[James L. Avery, Sr.|James Avery]] and [[Daphne Maxwell Reid]] played Max's parents. Avery and Reid were [[Philip Banks]] and [[Vivian Banks]] on ''The Fresh Prince'', respectively, and played the parents of Alfonso's character.
*In addition, [[Joseph Marcell]], who had played the wisecracking [[Geoffrey Butler]] on ''Fresh Prince'', was the officiating minister at the wedding. A memorable moment in the wedding episode occurs when, at the reception, Avery's character asks the minister to fill his drink, to which the minister answers: "I'm God's servant, not yours." It is at that moment that Avery tells Reid that the minister looks like someone they once knew (although Max's parents are neither from [[Los Angeles]] nor [[Philadelphia]], but rather from [[Boston]]).
* In one episode when Marion is sued by a police officer, [[James Avery]] played the judge during the mediation between the two. His ''Fresh Prince'' character was also a judge.
* [[Lark Voorhies]] plays Mercedes Langford who is Alfonso's character Max' girlfriend turned wife. In Fresh Prince, Voorhies plays Cindy, a character who is romantically involved with Alfonso's character Carlton.

*The series was cancelled in the Summer of [[1998 in television|1998]] by UPN and went into [[Television syndication|syndication]]. However, for a week in [[1999#August|August 1999]], NBC aired several unaired episodes which were taped a year earlier; including the series finale, at 1:35 a.m. Currently the show airs on the [[TV One (Radio One)|TV One]] cable network and [[Trouble (TV)]].

'''''In the House''''' was a television [[sitcom]] that premiered [[April 10]], [[1995]] originally on [[NBC]] (seasons 1 and 2 aired on [[NBC]], and seasons 3, 4, and 5 aired on [[UPN]]). The series starred [[LL Cool J]] and [[Maia Campbell]]. The series ran for five seasons, and aired its last episode on [[August 11]], [[1999]].

==Synopsis==
Marion Hill ([[LL Cool J]]) is a former [[National Football League|professional football]] player with the [[Oakland Raiders|Los Angeles Raiders]]. Because of his financial predicament, Marion is forced to rent out most rooms in his house to single mother Jackie Warren ([[Debbie Allen]]) and her two children, Tiffany Warren ([[Maia Campbell]]) and Austin Warren ([[Jeffery Wood]]). In subsequent seasons, Debbie Allen and Jeffery Wood exited the show and the series was restructured with Marion becoming the legal guardian for Tiffany because Jackie and Austin moved east.

The show was noted for its unique take on the character of Marion Hill. LL Cool J stated in interviews that he was interested in making Marion a more well rounded character than is often depicted of male African Americans in television and cinema. To that end, Marion used various "alternative" means of healing from his sports injuries, such as [[meditation]], [[aromatherapy]], [[visualization]], etc. A running gag on the show during the first few seasons was the other characters' belittlement of Marion's non-mainstream spiritual and [[holistic]] healing interests.

Marion also owned a [[Los Angeles]] sports clinic. One of his coworkers was the flirtatious Tonia Harris ([[Kim Wayans]]), and two later additions to the show were Dr. Maxwell "Max" Stanton ([[Alfonso Ribeiro]]) and his fiancée, Mercedes Langford ([[Lark Voorhies]]).

The show is a rarity, because it was videotaped during its entire run, but processed to look like it was on film during its NBC run (as was ''[[The John Larroquette Show]]''.) Subsequent episodes on UPN were videotaped, but not processed, so the show has different "looks" in reruns, depending on which season the episode is from.

==Trivia==
* Likely based on the career and life of San Diego Chargers running back [[Marion Butts]].{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

* Marion was a [[Vegetarianism|vegetarian]].

* The show had a heavy ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|Fresh Prince]]'' influence on it, partially due to the shows having the same producers.
**During the second season, [[Alfonso Ribeiro]] reprised his ''Fresh Prince'' role of [[Carlton Banks]], and [[Tatyana Ali]] played his sister [[Ashley Banks]]. Alfonso would later return to the show as Maxwell "Max" Stanton.
**When Max and Mercedes got married, [[James L. Avery, Sr.|James Avery]] and [[Daphne Maxwell Reid]] played Max's parents. Avery and Reid were [[Philip Banks]] and [[Vivian Banks]] on ''The Fresh Prince'', respectively, and played the parents of Alfonso's character.
**In addition, [[Joseph Marcell]], who had played the wisecracking [[Geoffrey Butler]] on ''Fresh Prince'', was the officiating minister at the wedding. A memorable moment in the wedding episode occurs when, at the reception, Avery's character asks the minister to fill his drink, to which the minister answers: "I'm God's servant, not yours." It is at that moment that Avery tells Reid that the minister looks like someone they once knew (although Max's parents are neither from [[Los Angeles]] nor [[Philadelphia]], but rather from [[Boston]]).
** In one episode when Marion is sued by a police officer, [[James Avery]] played the judge during the mediation between the two. His ''Fresh Prince'' character was also a judge.
** [[Lark Voorhies]] plays Mercedes Langford who is Alfonso's character Max' girlfriend turned wife. In Fresh Prince, Voorhies plays Cindy, a character who is romantically involved with Alfonso's character Carlton.

*The series was cancelled in the Summer of [[1998 in television|1998]] by UPN and went into [[Television syndication|syndication]]. However, for a week in [[1999#August|August 1999]], NBC aired several unaired episodes which were taped a year earlier; including the series finale, at 1:35 a.m. Currently the show airs on the [[TV One (Radio One)|TV One]] cable network and [[Trouble (TV)]].

'''''Room 401''''' is a [[television series]] on [[MTV]], executive produced by [[Ashton Kutcher]] and [[Jason Goldberg]]. It is named after the room [[Harry Houdini]] passed away in at Detroit's Grace Hospital in 1926.

Room 401 takes unaware [[victims]] into the center of mini horror movies that play out live. From the reanimation of the dead, to chain-saw mishaps, each episode contains four “scares” or pranks. The show is hosted by [[Jared Padalecki]] from the [[CW]]'s [[Supernatural]].

==Episode list==

'''First Episode'''

Getting Crabby- Two women witness a man pull his chest apart and crabs come out.

The Claw- A woman wants her friend to win her something from a claw machine, but the claw doesn't work, so a maintenance man (played by magician/actor [[Rob Zabrecky]]) sticks his hand through the glass and pulls out a rat.

He Sees Dead People- Two crime scene cleaners go to a crime scene and one of the men witness the dead man's spirit sit up from his body.

Lend A Hand- Two men go to work at a meat factory and one of the men witnesses his co-worker lose his hand in a fryer then it's right back on.

'''Second Episode'''

The Ice Man- An accident with a chainsaw operator (played by magician/actor [[Rob Zabrecky]]) leaves an ice sculptor alive, but in two pieces.

Jarhead- While cleaning a warehouse two guys find a mysterious head preserved in a jar that blinks and talks (played by magician/actor [[Rob Zabrecky]]).

He Gone- A taxi driver flies away after getting stopped by the cops.

Lose Your Head- A guy on the bus (played by Japanese street illusionist [[Cyril Takayama]]) is barely able to hold onto his head.

'''Third Episode'''

Beauty Is Only Skin Deep- A young woman is pushed underneath the waters of a hottub and emerges elderly.

Return To Sender- A man in a diaper comes out of a small, strange box on a worker's first night on the job.

Fasten Your Seatbelts- A man is pulled through an airplane [[turbine]] in front of a woman's eyes, and then comes up to her two minutes later, completly unharmed.

Scrubbing In- A man has poisonous fish and another goes through his stomach and pulls out the fish.

==The Story Flashing through Opening Credits==

'''First Set'''
As the aging illusionist took the stage for what would be his last performance, he knew he was too sick to go on

'''Second Set'''
The audience had no idea the man in front of them who had spent a lifetime faking his own death, was now actually in the throes of death...

'''Third Set'''
As the curtain fell on his final illusion, he was rushed to Detroit's Grace Hospital... it would be the first time in his career that he didn't return for an encore.

'''Fourth Set'''
Four days later, in room 401, he was pronounced dead.

'''Final set'''
And with his passing a lifetime's worth of illusions vanished, forever locked away in room 401.

===Notes===

Room 401 is very similar to the Sci Fi Channel television show, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scare_Tactics Scare Tactics.] They both incorporate the "supernatural" environment while scaring unsuspected individuals. The only difference is that in '''''Scare Tactics''''', the victim(s) is told that he/she is on a show on air, '''''Room 401''''' does not.

==Credits==

Executive Producers: Ashton Kutcher, Jason Goldberg, Karey Burke, Billy Rainey, Lois Curren

Supervising Producer: Mark Herwick

==Room 401 Puzzle==
There is a puzzle linked to Room 401. During parts of the show for one or two screens Ashton Kutcher appears on screen holding a sign, the sign is a clue for the puzzle. There are 4 clues per show. On the first episode you are givin a link to http://www.43475359616771.com/ where the puzzle begins.

'''Martin Mystery''' ([[2003]]) is an [[animated]] [[television series]]. It is loosely based on the [[Italian comics|Italian comic]] ''[[Martin Mystère]]''.

The series reimagines the title character Martin Mystery and his step-sister (his father married her mom) Diana Lombard as 16-year-olds attending Torrington Academy, a high school in [[Sherbrooke, Quebec]]. They work for the covert organization "The Center", which secretly protects the people of Earth from extraterrestrial and supernatural threats. Not everyone who works for the organization is human. The short and green-skinned Billy is one of Martin's best friends. Java works as a janitor of Diana and Martin's school and is a caveman from 200,000 years ago. As far as "The Center" is concerned, Martin's vast knowledge of the supernatural and his remarkable intuition compensate for his poor personal hygiene and huge ego. Diana resents these qualities at times, as Martin does not seem to often understand the seriousness of his missions, but generally loves him like any real brother. In a small twist of irony, Diana and Martin are lovers in the original comics version, and not siblings.

Diana is prone to many of the missions' scarier moments and often becomes a victim that Martin has to rescue, much to her chagrin. Together they form an excellent mystery solving team at the same time full of horrors and dangers.

Martin Mystery had been aired in [[Canada]] on [[YTV (Canadian TV channel)|YTV]] and Kids[[Discovery Channel]] in [[English language|English]] and on [[VRAK.TV]] in [[French language|French]] since [[2004]]. In May [[2005]], [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] and [[NickToons Network]] began to air Martin Mystery as well, Nickelodeon removed Martin Mystery from their line up in August 2005. It is also seen on MBC 3 & ART Teenz channels nowadays but in Arabic (Starring "Mariam El Khesht" as "Diana Lombard" & "Mo'awad Ismail" as "Martin"). Martin Mystery began airing on Disney Channel on [[2004]] on its weekday afternoon line up. It was temporarily replaced by [[Sabrina, The Animated Series]] and was returned on the line up. Its airing schedule was changed from Monday to Friday to Thursday and Friday as [[Emperor's New School]] airs from Monday to Wednesday. This January, it was totally removed from the weekday line up. It currently airs on Disney Channel Asia every weekend mornings.

The show is produced by [[Marathon Production]] (a French television production company based in Paris), which also produces ''[[Totally Spies]]'' and ''[[Team Galaxy]]''. Like ''Totally Spies'', ''Martin Mystery'' takes on a style reminiscent of Japanese [[anime]], although it is produced in Europe. Boys ''resembling'' Martin and his rival, Marvin, and Diana have appeared as cameos in ''Totally Spies'' in its episode "Super Agent Much?" and many others.

==Characters==
{{main|List of characters in Martin Mystery}}

== Monsters ==
{{main|Monsters in Martin Mystery}}

== Martin's U-Watch ==

Martin Mystery, who is very much the leader of the trio, carries a high-tech device called the U-Watch. This is a piece of equipment that is an essential part on their missions, and is also the way they are usually paged to the Center. While the "U" has never been told as to what it stands for, it probably stands for Utility, since many of it's gadgets are utility items. Marvin also wears one. The primary functions are:

* '''Legendex:''' a database of every monster, curse, creature, and event worthy of note known to The Center

* '''Slime Scan:''' analyzes slime samples if it is of unknown origin. This is arguably the function most utilized by Martin

* '''Bio Scan:''' analyzes any biological residue and sends information on The Center's database. Billy's pod can also perform a bio scan (as seen in the episode "Curse of the Hole Creature")

* '''X-Rod:''' fires a net or a energyfield to capture a creature. It can also extend into a quarterstaff (like [[Sun Wukong]]'s staff) for melee combat

* '''I-Cutter:''' creates an energy blade that cuts through walls, locks, and doors; it has also been shown to shoot a concentrated "laser blasts" on an occasionally. Like the X-Rod, it is the only other weapon capable of actual melee or ranged fighting.

* '''Tracker:''' has a GPS system that can used to track down people or objects

* '''Turbo Bungee:''' a grappling hook that enables the wearer to escape from confined spaces

* '''Alpha Goggles:''' a pair of glasses with internal light beams mounted at the rims, perfect for viewing in enclosed or dark locations

* '''U-Shield:''' generates a force field that can cover the area of an entire room. It also acts as an air supply for limited durations underwater (but only for an amount of time)

* '''Phone-Number Search Mode:''' the U-Watch's [[A.I.]] responds with an address and name when the user states a phone-number

It should be noted that the 'unofficial' functions include an internal flashlight, communications device, and even a laser/blaster function which is really rarely used. On one occasion, it's shown that the U-Watch has a slot for what looks like [[memory cards]], and allows it to run additional programs from them (this is seen in the "Curse of the Necklace" episode before Martin heads into the portal for his mission. He gains the ability to detect "dead zones" and uses it shortly after). Interestingly enough, it has never been verified that the U-Watch actually tells the time.
== M.O.M.'s Ultra U-Watch ==
M.O.M. wears her own U-Watch, the 'Ultra U-Watch' which is also capable of opening portals. (Martin (possessed by an alien named Gastromo) was once seen using his normal U-Watch to open a portal to the center. Martin has never used this ability) There is also an upgraded version of the U-Watch: the 'X-Watch,' given to higher-ranking agents. It has additional functions such as 'Hologram', 'Ultra-Concentrated Sunbeam', and 'X-Goggles.' These features have been indicated in the episode "The Lost Tribe", and it is a device that Martin desires.

*'''Center Vehicle''': can make a center [[SUV]] appear for transportation

*'''X-Rod''': used for slicing through things and melee weapons

*'''X-Goggles''': a device used to see in the dark

== Episode Guide ==
{{main|List of Martin Mystery episodes}}

== Interesting Facts ==
* The giant venus fly trap in Movie Monster Mayhem also has an appearance as Java's gift for Billy in They Came from Outer Space Part One and in MOM's office in Shriek from Beyond

* Diana's favorite comfort food is poached salmon.
* In Diana's nightmare, an evil alarm clock walks out of the mist although there was never an evil alarm clock in the part when she wakes up saying she had a dream about going to Australia.
* Martin is actually the senior advisor of the Psi Psi Psi sorority.

* Although Martin's outfits always include a red top with yellow flames, his favourite color is actually orange.

'''Martin Mystery''' ([[2003]]) is an [[animated]] [[television series]]. It is loosely based on the [[Italian comics|Italian comic]] ''[[Martin Mystère]]''.

The series reimagines the title character Martin Mystery and his step-sister (his father married her mom) Diana Lombard as 16-year-olds attending Torrington Academy, a high school in [[Sherbrooke, Quebec]]. They work for the covert organization "The Center", which secretly protects the people of Earth from extraterrestrial and supernatural threats. Not everyone who works for the organization is human. The short and green-skinned Billy is one of Martin's best friends. Java works as a janitor of Diana and Martin's school and is a caveman from 200,000 years ago. As far as "The Center" is concerned, Martin's vast knowledge of the supernatural and his remarkable intuition compensate for his poor personal hygiene and huge ego. Diana resents these qualities at times, as Martin does not seem to often understand the seriousness of his missions, but generally loves him like any real brother. In a small twist of irony, Diana and Martin are lovers in the original comics version, and not siblings.

Diana is prone to many of the missions' scarier moments and often becomes a victim that Martin has to rescue, much to her chagrin. Together they form an excellent mystery solving team at the same time full of horrors and dangers.

Martin Mystery had been aired in [[Canada]] on [[YTV (Canadian TV channel)|YTV]] and Kids[[Discovery Channel]] in [[English language|English]] and on [[VRAK.TV]] in [[French language|French]] since [[2004]]. In May [[2005]], [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] and [[NickToons Network]] began to air Martin Mystery as well, Nickelodeon removed Martin Mystery from their line up in August 2005. It is also seen on MBC 3 & ART Teenz channels nowadays but in Arabic (Starring "Mariam El Khesht" as "Diana Lombard" & "Mo'awad Ismail" as "Martin"). Martin Mystery began airing on Disney Channel on [[2004]] on its weekday afternoon line up. It was temporarily replaced by [[Sabrina, The Animated Series]] and was returned on the line up. Its airing schedule was changed from Monday to Friday to Thursday and Friday as [[Emperor's New School]] airs from Monday to Wednesday. This January, it was totally removed from the weekday line up. It currently airs on Disney Channel Asia every weekend mornings.

The show is produced by [[Marathon Production]] (a French television production company based in Paris), which also produces ''[[Totally Spies]]'' and ''[[Team Galaxy]]''. Like ''Totally Spies'', ''Martin Mystery'' takes on a style reminiscent of Japanese [[anime]], although it is produced in Europe. Boys ''resembling'' Martin and his rival, Marvin, and Diana have appeared as cameos in ''Totally Spies'' in its episode "Super Agent Much?" and many others.

==Characters==
{{main|List of characters in Martin Mystery}}

== Monsters ==
{{main|Monsters in Martin Mystery}}

== Martin's U-Watch ==

Martin Mystery, who is very much the leader of the trio, carries a high-tech device called the U-Watch. This is a piece of equipment that is an essential part on their missions, and is also the way they are usually paged to the Center. While the "U" has never been told as to what it stands for, it probably stands for Utility, since many of it's gadgets are utility items. Marvin also wears one. The primary functions are:

* '''Legendex:''' a database of every monster, curse, creature, and event worthy of note known to The Center

* '''Slime Scan:''' analyzes slime samples if it is of unknown origin. This is arguably the function most utilized by Martin

* '''Bio Scan:''' analyzes any biological residue and sends information on The Center's database. Billy's pod can also perform a bio scan (as seen in the episode "Curse of the Hole Creature")

* '''X-Rod:''' fires a net or a energyfield to capture a creature. It can also extend into a quarterstaff (like [[Sun Wukong]]'s staff) for melee combat

* '''I-Cutter:''' creates an energy blade that cuts through walls, locks, and doors; it has also been shown to shoot a concentrated "laser blasts" on an occasionally. Like the X-Rod, it is the only other weapon capable of actual melee or ranged fighting.

* '''Tracker:''' has a GPS system that can used to track down people or objects

* '''Turbo Bungee:''' a grappling hook that enables the wearer to escape from confined spaces

* '''Alpha Goggles:''' a pair of glasses with internal light beams mounted at the rims, perfect for viewing in enclosed or dark locations

* '''U-Shield:''' generates a force field that can cover the area of an entire room. It also acts as an air supply for limited durations underwater (but only for an amount of time)

* '''Phone-Number Search Mode:''' the U-Watch's [[A.I.]] responds with an address and name when the user states a phone-number

It should be noted that the 'unofficial' functions include an internal flashlight, communications device, and even a laser/blaster function which is really rarely used. On one occasion, it's shown that the U-Watch has a slot for what looks like [[memory cards]], and allows it to run additional programs from them (this is seen in the "Curse of the Necklace" episode before Martin heads into the portal for his mission. He gains the ability to detect "dead zones" and uses it shortly after). Interestingly enough, it has never been verified that the U-Watch actually tells the time.
== M.O.M.'s Ultra U-Watch ==
M.O.M. wears her own U-Watch, the 'Ultra U-Watch' which is also capable of opening portals. (Martin (possessed by an alien named Gastromo) was once seen using his normal U-Watch to open a portal to the center. Martin has never used this ability) There is also an upgraded version of the U-Watch: the 'X-Watch,' given to higher-ranking agents. It has additional functions such as 'Hologram', 'Ultra-Concentrated Sunbeam', and 'X-Goggles.' These features have been indicated in the episode "The Lost Tribe", and it is a device that Martin desires.

'''Center Vehicle''': can make a center [[SUV]] appear for transportation

'''X-Rod''': used for slicing through things and melee weapons

'''X-Goggles''': a device used to see in the dark

== Interesting Facts ==
* The giant venus fly trap in Movie Monster Mayhem also has an appearance as Java's gift for Billy in They Came from Outer Space Part One and in MOM's office in Shriek from Beyond

* In Diana's nightmare, an evil alarm clock walks out of the mist although there was never an evil alarm clock in the part when she wakes up saying she had a dream about going to Australia.
* Martin is actually the senior advisor of the Psi Psi Psi sorority.

* Although Martin's outfits always include a red top with yellow flames, his favourite color is actually orange.
* In Martin's nightmare MOM fires him and her mouth turns parasitic

On one occasion, it's shown that the U-Watch has a slot for what looks like [[memory cards]], and allows it to run additional programs from them (this is seen in the "Curse of the Necklace" episode before Martin heads into the portal for his mission. He gains the ability to detect "dead zones" and uses it shortly after). Interestingly enough, it has never been verified that the U-Watch actually tells the time.

M.O.M. wears her own U-Watch, the 'Ultra U-Watch' which is also capable of opening portals. (Martin (possessed by an alien named Gastromo) was once seen using his normal U-Watch to open a portal to the center. Martin has never used this ability) There is also an upgraded version of the U-Watch: the 'X-Watch,' given to higher-ranking agents. It has additional functions such as 'Hologram', 'Ultra-Concentrated Sunbeam', and 'X-Goggles.' These features have been indicated in the episode "The Lost Tribe", and it is a device that Martin desires.

In addition, he does not wear socks with his shoes. It is often noted that Diana is grossed out by the stench, and must wear a respirator to protect herself whenever Java takes off his shoes, because the smell is just too overwhelming. However, this odor may be caused from Java's lack of hygiene.

*In the first episode, It Came From the Bog, a subtle reference to the Metal Gear Solid series is made. As Martin, Java, and Diana leave MOM's room to go on the mission she states "Now I must save Agent Anaconda from the reptile dispatching cyborg", a reference to snake and one of the bosses.

*Martin, in most of the episodes during the first season, wore a black long-sleeve shirt under the normal shirt (the one with the flames) he usually wears.

'''Martin Mystery''' ([[2003]]) is an [[animated]] [[television series]]. It is loosely based on the [[Italian comics|Italian comic]] ''[[Martin Mystère]]''.

The series reimagines the title character Martin Mystery and his step-sister (his father married her mom) Diana Lombard as 16-year-olds attending Torrington Academy, a high school in [[Sherbrooke, Quebec]]. They work for the covert organization "The Center", which secretly protects the people of Earth from extraterrestrial and supernatural threats. Not everyone who works for the organization is human. The short and green-skinned Billy is one of Martin's best friends. Java works as a janitor of Diana and Martin's school and is a caveman from 200,000 years ago. As far as "The Center" is concerned, Martin's vast knowledge of the supernatural and his remarkable intuition compensate for his poor personal hygiene and huge ego. Diana resents these qualities at times, as Martin does not seem to often understand the seriousness of his missions, but generally loves him like any real brother. In a small twist of irony, Diana and Martin are lovers in the original comics version, and not siblings.

Diana is prone to many of the missions' scarier moments and often becomes a victim that Martin has to rescue, much to her chagrin. Together they form an excellent mystery solving team at the same time full of horrors and dangers.

Martin Mystery had been aired in [[Canada]] on [[YTV (Canadian TV channel)|YTV]] and Kids[[Discovery Channel]] in [[English language|English]] and on [[VRAK.TV]] in [[French language|French]] since [[2004]]. In May [[2005]], [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] and [[NickToons Network]] began to air Martin Mystery as well, Nickelodeon removed Martin Mystery from their line up in August 2005. It is also seen on MBC 3 & ART Teenz channels nowadays but in Arabic (Starring "Mariam El Khesht" as "Diana Lombard" & "Mo'awad Ismail" as "Martin"). Martin Mystery began airing on Disney Channel on [[2004]] on its weekday afternoon line up. It was temporarily replaced by [[Sabrina, The Animated Series]] and was returned on the line up. Its airing schedule was changed from Monday to Friday to Thursday and Friday as [[Emperor's New School]] airs from Monday to Wednesday. This January, it was totally removed from the weekday line up. It currently airs on Disney Channel Asia every weekend mornings.

The show is produced by [[Marathon Production]] (a French television production company based in Paris), which also produces ''[[Totally Spies]]'' and ''[[Team Galaxy]]''. Like ''Totally Spies'', ''Martin Mystery'' takes on a style reminiscent of Japanese [[anime]], although it is produced in Europe. Boys ''resembling'' Martin and his rival, Marvin, and Diana have appeared as cameos in ''Totally Spies'' in its episode "Super Agent Much?" and many others.

== Monsters ==
{{main|Monsters in Martin Mystery}}

== Martin's U-Watch ==

Martin Mystery, who is very much the leader of the trio, carries a high-tech device called the U-Watch. This is a piece of equipment that is an essential part on their missions, and is also the way they are usually paged to the Center. While the "U" has never been told as to what it stands for, it probably stands for Utility, since many of it's gadgets are utility items. Marvin also wears one. The primary functions are:

* '''Legendex:''' a database of every monster, curse, creature, and event worthy of note known to The Center

* '''Slime Scan:''' analyzes slime samples if it is of unknown origin. This is arguably the function most utilized by Martin

* '''Bio Scan:''' analyzes any biological residue and sends information on The Center's database. Billy's pod can also perform a bio scan (as seen in the episode "Curse of the Hole Creature")

* '''X-Rod:''' fires a net or a energyfield to capture a creature. It can also extend into a quarterstaff (like [[Sun Wukong]]'s staff) for melee combat

* '''I-Cutter:''' creates an energy blade that cuts through walls, locks, and doors; it has also been shown to shoot a concentrated "laser blasts" on an occasionally. Like the X-Rod, it is the only other weapon capable of actual melee or ranged fighting.

* '''Tracker:''' has a GPS system that can used to track down people or objects

* '''Turbo Bungee:''' a grappling hook that enables the wearer to escape from confined spaces

* '''Alpha Goggles:''' a pair of glasses with internal light beams mounted at the rims, perfect for viewing in enclosed or dark locations

* '''U-Shield:''' generates a force field that can cover the area of an entire room. It also acts as an air supply for limited durations underwater (but only for an amount of time)

* '''Phone-Number Search Mode:''' the U-Watch's [[A.I.]] responds with an address and name when the user states a phone-number

It should be noted that the 'unofficial' functions include an internal flashlight, communications device, and even a laser/blaster function which is really rarely used. On one occasion, it's shown that the U-Watch has a slot for what looks like [[memory cards]], and allows it to run additional programs from them (this is seen in the "Curse of the Necklace" episode before Martin heads into the portal for his mission.

'''Martin Mystery''' ([[2003]]) is an [[animated]] [[television series]]. It is loosely based on the [[Italian comics|Italian comic]] ''[[Martin Mystère]]''.

The series reimagines the title character Martin Mystery and his step-sister (his father married her mom) Diana Lombard as 16-year-olds attending Torrington Academy, a high school in [[Sherbrooke, Quebec]]. They work for the covert organization "The Center", which secretly protects the people of Earth from extraterrestrial and supernatural threats. Not everyone who works for the organization is human. The short and green-skinned Billy is one of Martin's best friends. Java works as a janitor of Diana and Martin's school and is a caveman from 200,000 years ago. As far as "The Center" is concerned, Martin's vast knowledge of the supernatural and his remarkable intuition compensate for his poor personal hygiene and huge ego. Diana resents these qualities at times, as Martin does not seem to often understand the seriousness of his missions, but generally loves him like any real brother. In a small twist of irony, Diana and Martin are lovers in the original comics version, and not siblings.

Diana is prone to many of the missions' scarier moments and often becomes a victim that Martin has to rescue, much to her chagrin. Together they form an excellent mystery solving team at the same time full of horrors and dangers.

Martin Mystery had been aired in [[Canada]] on [[YTV (Canadian TV channel)|YTV]] and Kids[[Discovery Channel]] in [[English language|English]] and on [[VRAK.TV]] in [[French language|French]] since [[2004]]. In May [[2005]], [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] and [[NickToons Network]] began to air Martin Mystery as well, Nickelodeon removed Martin Mystery from their line up in August 2005. It is also seen on MBC 3 & ART Teenz channels nowadays but in Arabic (Starring "Mariam El Khesht" as "Diana Lombard" & "Mo'awad Ismail" as "Martin"). Martin Mystery began airing on Disney Channel on [[2004]] on its weekday afternoon line up. It was temporarily replaced by [[Sabrina, The Animated Series]] and was returned on the line up. Its airing schedule was changed from Monday to Friday to Thursday and Friday as [[Emperor's New School]] airs from Monday to Wednesday. This January, it was totally removed from the weekday line up. It currently airs on Disney Channel Asia every weekend mornings.

The show is produced by [[Marathon Production]] (a French television production company based in Paris), which also produces ''[[Totally Spies]]'' and ''[[Team Galaxy]]''. Like ''Totally Spies'', ''Martin Mystery'' takes on a style reminiscent of Japanese [[anime]], although it is produced in Europe. Boys ''resembling'' Martin and his rival, Marvin, and Diana have appeared as cameos in ''Totally Spies'' in its episode "Super Agent Much?" and many others.

== Martin's U-Watch ==

Martin Mystery, who is very much the leader of the trio, carries a high-tech device called the U-Watch. This is a piece of equipment that is an essential part on their missions, and is also the way they are usually paged to the Center. While the "U" has never been told as to what it stands for, it probably stands for Utility, since many of it's gadgets are utility items. Marvin also wears one. The primary functions are:

* '''Legendex:''' a database of every monster, curse, creature, and event worthy of note known to The Center

* '''Slime Scan:''' analyzes slime samples if it is of unknown origin. This is arguably the function most utilized by Martin

* '''Bio Scan:''' analyzes any biological residue and sends information on The Center's database. Billy's pod can also perform a bio scan (as seen in the episode "Curse of the Hole Creature")

* '''X-Rod:''' fires a net to capture a creature. It can also extend into a quarterstaff (like [[Sun Wukong]]'s staff) for melee combat

* '''I-Cutter:''' creates an energy blade that cuts through walls, locks, and doors; it has also been shown to shoot a concentrated "laser blast" on an occasion. Like the X-Rod, it is the only other weapon capable of actual fighting.

* '''Tracker:''' has a GPS system that can used to track down people or objects

* '''Turbo Bungee:''' a grappling hook that enables the wearer to escape from confined spaces

* '''Alpha Goggles:''' a pair of glasses with internal light beams mounted at the rims, perfect for viewing in enclosed or dark locations

* '''U-Shield:''' generates a force field that can cover the area of an entire room. It also acts as an air supply for limited durations underwater (but only for an amount of time)

* '''Phone-Number Search Mode:''' the U-Watch's [[A.I.]] responds with an address and name when the user states a phone-number

It should be noted that the 'unofficial' functions include an internal flashlight, communications device, and even a laser/blaster function which is rarely used. On one occasion, it's shown that the U-Watch has a slot for what looks like [[memory cards]], and allows it to run additional programs from them (this is seen in the "Curse of the Necklace" episode before Martin heads into the portal for his mission. He gains the ability to detect "dead zones" and uses it shortly after). Interestingly enough, it has never been verified that the U-Watch actually tells the time.

M.O.M. wears her own U-Watch, the 'Ultra U-Watch' which is also capable of opening portals. (Martin (possessed by an alien named Gastromo) was once seen using his normal U-Watch to open a portal to the centre. Martin has never used this ability) There is also an upgraded version of the U-Watch: the 'X-Watch,' given to higher-ranking agents. It has additional functions such as 'Hologram', 'Ultra-Concentrated Sunbeam', and 'X-Goggles.' These features have been indicated in the episode "The Lost Tribe", and it is a device that Martin desires.

== Episode Guide ==
{{main|List of Martin Mystery episodes}}

== Interesting Facts ==

* Diana's favorite comfort food is poached salmon.

* Martin is actually the senior advisor of the Psi Psi Psi sorority.

* Although Martin's outfits always include a red top with yellow flames, his favourite color is actually orange.

* Number of times Jenni expressed interest in Martin: 5

* MOM's office doubles as a nightclub, and she has been described as "a real party animal".

* In an episode where Martin and the group go investigate the paranormal in [[Oregon]], all the townsfolk are pictured as stereotypical southern hillbillies, despite being a northern state, and is one of the closer states to Canada. Some have interpreted this as the company's view on Americans in general.

* "Code 7-5-9-2" brings MOM's office into full lockdown.

* The Center SUVs that appear in the show resembles a 1998-2003 [[Dodge Durango]] and a 2003 [[Hummer H2]]

* The Episode "Haunting Of The Blackwater" makes several references to [[The Shining]]

* While Java is a caveman, he has adapted to a modern lifestyle, except for his unremitting fear of technology, and his unbearably smelly foot problem, which probably stems from his feet's lack of ventilation, as cavemen didn't wear shoes. In addition, he does not wear socks with his shoes. It is often noted that Diana is grossed out by the stench, and must wear a respirator to protect herself whenever Java takes off his shoes, because the smell is just too overwhelming. However, this odor may be caused from Java's lack of hygiene.

*In the first episode, It Came From the Bog, a subtle reference to the Metal Gear Solid series is made. As Martin, Java, and Diana leave MOM's room to go on the mission she states "Now I must save Agent Anaconda from the reptile dispatching cyborg", a reference to snake and one of the bosses.

*Martin, in most of the episodes during the first season, wore a black long-sleeve shirt under the normal shirt (the one with the flames) he usually wears.

== Media Releases ==

A Martin Mystery DVD, with episodes from the 1st season, has recently been released in September 2006. Versions included are English and French DVDs.

List of Lupin III television specials

2007-07-23T21:02:08Z

Kid1412:

This is a '''list of television specials''' of the [[Japan]]ese [[media franchise]] '''''[[Lupin III]]''''' based on the ''Lupin III'' manga written by [[Monkey Punch]] begining in 1967.<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1632|title=Lupin III (manga)|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|accessdate=2007-06-29}}</ref> In a tradition that began in 1989 with the television special ''[[Bye Bye Liberty Crisis]]'',<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2090|title=Lupin III: Bye Bye Liberty Crisis (special)|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|accessdate=2007-07-02}}</ref> every summer since then featured a new 90 minute Lupin III television special that would air on [[Nippon Television|NTV]] at 9:03<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6837|title=Lupin III: Seven Days Rhapsody (special)|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|accessdate=2007-07-02}}</ref> on Friday evening, usually in the last week of July or the first week of August (''[[Bye-Bye Liberty Crisis]]'' and ''[[Seven Days Rhapsody]]'' diverted from that trend, however).

Each television special features its own plot (see specific pages for details), but the general theme centers on the adventures of [[Arsène Lupin III]], the grandson of [[Arsène Lupin]], the [[gentleman thief]] of [[Maurice Leblanc]]'s series of novels. He is joined by [[Daisuke Jigen]], crack-shot and Lupin's closest ally; [[Fujiko Mine]], the ''[[femme fatale]]'' and Lupin's love interest who works against Lupin more often than with him; and [[Goemon Ishikawa XIII]], a master swordsman and the descendant of [[Ishikawa Goemon]], the legendary Japanese bandit. Lupin is often chased by Inspector [[Koichi Zenigata]], the rather cynical detective who has made it his life mission to catch Lupin.

[[FUNimation]] Entertainment purchased the [[United States|American]] [[DVD]] distribution rights to television specials five through 12 back in 2002 in a package that also included the two theatrical films [[Farewell to Nostradamus]] and [[Dead or Alive (Lupin the 3rd)|Dead or Alive]]. Several of the television specials were re-titled for their American DVD release.<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2002-02-27/lupin-iii-movies-licensed-retitled|title=Lupin III Movies Licensed, Retitled|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|accessdate=2007-07-02}}</ref> All of the licensed movies and television specials have now been released on DVD.

'''''Beats, Rhymes and Life''''' is the fourth album of [[hip hop music|hip hop]] group [[A Tribe Called Quest]]. Released in 1996, it followed three years after the highly regarded and successful ''[[Midnight Marauders]]''. Unfortunately for the group, the critical response for this album was not as positive, with many seeing the album as bland and lacking in the energy that characterized previous releases from the trio. The album was also the first to feature production work from [[The Ummah]], which was composed of [[Q-Tip (rapper)|Q-Tip]], [[Ali Shaheed Muhammad]] and [[Jay Dee]]. One topic on this album was the Death Row vs. Bad Boy rivalry. This album also features [[Consequence (rapper)|Consequence]] frequently on the album, which made many fans think he was a new member.

It was nominated for a [[Grammy Award for Best Rap Album]] in 1997 and contains a song, "[[1nce Again]]", which was also nominated for a [[Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group]] in 1997.<ref>http://www.buy.com/prod/Beats_Rhymes_Life/q/loc/109/60022036.html</ref> It was certified platinum by [[RIAA]] on [[October 27]], [[1998]].<ref>http://www.riaa.com/gp/database/default.asp</ref> Even though it received negative reviews, ten years later it is considered a classic among tribe fans.

==Trivia==
As mentioned earlier in the page about the east coast and west coast rivalry being discussed in the album, In the song "Keep It Moving", Q-Tip responds the diss comments made about him from '''Westside Connection''''s song "Cross Em Out And Put A K", by saying that comments made about the West from some time before the album were not inteded to diss the west coast and that people should not misinterpret his lyrics.
[[Q-Tip (rapper)|Q-Tip]]'s first verse:

''"''Somethin for your earhole, so you can clean them shits out
It seems that some don't understand what I'm talkin about
How you get West coast nigga, from West coast hater?
I could never dis a whole coast, my time is too greater(true)
Yeah, we from the East, the land of originators
You also from the West, the land of innovators
The only difference of the two is the style of the rap
Plus the musical track, this beef shit is so wack
Let me let y'all brothas know I ain't no West coast disser
Another thing I'm not is a damn ass kisser
So listen to my words as I set things straight
I ain't got no beef, so don't come in my face"''''

'''Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure''' is the first made-for-TV movie of ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]''. It premiered on [[March 30]], [[2007]] at 7:00pm, and repeated at 8:45. It aired in the UK on [[February 14]], [[2007]] at 9:00 am and repeated at 5:00pm.

== Plot/Synopsis ==
{{Cleanup-section|June 2007}}
Endsville, two weeks in the future. The shadowy all powerful "Lord of Horror", possessor of Horror's Hand, sends robot replicas of Billy and Mandy (called Billybot and Mandroid) to the present. They are to stop the two from obtaining the Hand.

Future Irwin and Billy watch. Billy was going to go to the present himself but had been too distracted by the opening credits. His back up plan, another time machine, is in reality, a drawing of policemen fighting a dinosaur.

In the present, the Grim Reaper travels next door to take the soul of General Skarr, who now has a huge gaping hole in his stomach. Skarr doesn't wish to go and he manages to escape in his vehicle, which has many weapons (this may be a parody of Spyhunter). These weapons delay a pursuing Grim (and present-day Billy and Mandy, who had decided to ride along).

Skarr finally escapes by transforming his vehicle into sub form. He sees another button and presses it, curious. A laser blasts out, straight through the hole in his stomach. Skarr realizes what had happened.

Back at Billy's house, the Underworld Police take Grim away for the crime of abusing his powers. The courtroom is in a more hellish-locale. The jury is split up in pairs and each pair sits atop a giant pillar. The jury includes Dracula, Frankenstein’s Bride, Wolf man, Fred Fredburger, a Pale Ghoulish Juror, a mud ghoul, Darth Vader, The Invisible Man, and two unknown citizens. To everybody’s surprise, Boogeyman is the prosecutor and is suing Grim for abusing his powers. Boogey mentions the following people stole Grim's scythe:

1) Jack O' Lantern

2) Billy

3) Mandy

4) Irwin

5) Billy's Dad

6) Billy's Mom

7) Billy's cousin (Not Junior)

8) Milkshakes

9) Principal Goodvibes

10) The Secret Snake Club

11) Dracula

12) General Skarr

13) Mrs. Claus

14) The Army

15) Scout Troup 701

16) The Sleestax

17) The President

18) The mailman

19) The Dingle Schmidt Sisters

20) The Boogey Man (himself)

21) A llama

22) A turkey salad sandwich (hold the mayo!)

In the end, Grim is found guilty and the Boogeyman agrees to take him and the kids to exile while Numbah 3 from the [[Kids Next Door]] temporarily becomes the new Reaper, on a six week trial.

Boogey’s ship makes it way to the Lava Sea where Boogey plans to feed the children to Lava Sharks. Boogey reveals his plot to steal Horror’s Hand the most powerful object in existence which makes Grim's scythe look like a worthless stick and if you go too near it you will be confronted by your worst fears but if you conquer your fear you can get it. The hand is capable of transforming its holder into the scariest and most powerful being in existence. Boogeyman sends Billy first to walk the plank. Billy reveals that he’s not scared as long as the sharks don’t eat them and starts a song called 'Scary-O.' Along with the song, Mandy and the rest of the captives make a run for it. Billy sings the song about how he’s not scared of earthquakes if the earth doesn’t shake and at the end of the song, he briefly sings about how he’s hungry. Irwin, Mandy, and Grim make a run on the getaway boat, the "deathboat" (obvious reference to a lifeboat). Billy comes along and Mandy asks what he was doing, Billy responds saying that every animated movie needs a song. Mandy sees Boogey dancing and says, "Now that’s scary." Boogeyman is first to go through the gate to Horror’s Hand and claims that Billy and Mandy must go through the Cyclops to go through the gate. The group decides to stop Boogey and claim Horror’s Hand. Mandy wants to rule the world with the hand, Billy wants to buy food, Irwin wants to marry Mandy with the hand, and Grim could reclaim his role as Grim Reaper and get his scythe back. Grim then plans to use is powers to transform the boat, only to remember he lost it. The group meets a little Cyclops with no eye who calls his friend, a giant orange Cyclops to "test" the children. This test is however revealed to be tasting the children by the Cyclops which they "pass", ending up cooking in a giant soup. Mandy, in an attempt to escape, claims that Billy urinated in the soup (which he in fact did) so the Cyclops takes them out to check. Mandy uses the opportunity, jumps out and steals the bigger Cyclops’ eye. There is a fight and the eye ends up in Billy’s stomach. It turns out that the eye is used also for Boogeyman to see the group. Boogeyman turns his head into disgust as he looks where the eye goes. Creeper offers to build robot replicas of the children and shows Boogeyman the blueprints. Suddenly, Mandroid and Billybot from the future appear and offer to help Boogeyman destroy Mandy and Billy. The group run away from the Cyclops Cove and discover a giant cake as they run near the getaway ship. Mandy is suspicious but a crazy Irwin and Billy stuff the cake into Mandy and Grim’s mouths. Suddenly, the rest of the group fall into a sleep and Mandy soon follows into the trance. Inside the cake, Mandroid comes out of the cake’s hatch and reveals that she plans on taking the brains of the group. The group is having a hive mind dream when Boogeyman comes in and kidnaps Mandy. Meanwhile, Mandy was on the ship's pole tied up while put under the Boogeyman's spell making her sleep until her spirit is broken. The Boogeyman laughs as a mad Irwin storms in and beats up all the pirates. Grim tells Billy that love makes people do stupid things. Billy reveals that he loves everything and Grim says that, that explains a whole lot. Irwin kisses Mandy awake to Grim’s and Billy’s utter disgust. Mandy is grossed out and vomits twice. Mandroid comes in and threatens with a laser gun. Mandy is disgusted by how unrealistic Mandroid is and causes Mandroid to malfunction. Mandy takes the laser gun and shoots a stalactite down stopping the pirates from attacking and the group makes a run for it on the deathboat and goes in the lead to Horror’s Hand’s Temple. Boogeyman sends the Kracken to go after the four.

The group climbs up the long stairs of the temple. About halfway up, Billy claims he can see his Grandmother's house from this vantage point. The others do not believe him and move on. Billy waves to his grandmother down below and follows.

Horror is a living statue. He had removed his left hand and placed all his fears inside. It did not exactly work, as he developed new fears. Horror spends his time with online gaming and learning to play the guitar with his teeth.

Boogeyman's forces appear and Billy is soon eaten by the Kracken. Boogey decides to hold a river race called the Cannibal Run. The winner will have to fight Horror for the right to the hand. Grim's very small boat seems unwinnable next to Boogey's legged ship. The two sides prepare. Billy hasn't resurfaced yet and Mandy thinks he might actually be dead this time. Billy appears, having made friends with the Kracken.

The race starts. Throughout it, the team become puppets, destroys a sea witch with laser guns, glue their boat back together with snot after its cut to pieces, and even get attacked by Japanese movie monsters (Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Anguirus, Rodan, Gigan and Gamera). After all that, Team Grim wins and easily defeats Horror with Mandy tearing off Billy's nose and throwing it at his head. The group tries to face their worst fears, as Billy faces a clown spider mailman (or is it a clown mail spider), Irwin faces stand up comedy jokes to bears, and Mandy faces an older version of herself who has lost her toughness , overweight, and married to Irwin. But Grim is the only one who conquers them as he lives his nightmare every day: living with Billy and Mandy. After Grim picks up the hand, Boogeyman steals the hand - but is defeated by his worst fear: discovering that he’s not scary and getting laughed by everybody. Grim later reveals that he turned the Hand off and Boogeyman now is living his life in his fears. The police come in and Judge Roy Spleen tries to banish Grim, but Mandy threatens the Judge so he decides to give Grim his job back and fire Numbuh 3 (although he remarks that Nunbah 3 was a great reaper in her own way). Numbah 3 vows to get revenge on Grim if it’s the last thing she does. When Fred Fredburger says that "If I hadn't tried to eat all of the nachos, I never would have known I could", the team learns a valuable lesson: that they got what they wanted without having the Hand. Grim saved the world even without the scythe, Mandy got her own way once again, Irwin finally got to kiss his true love, and Billy is getting a new bike for Christmas. To everybody’s surprise, future Billy teleports into the temple and reveals that in the future Mandy stole the hand and become Lord Horror the supreme master of existence, just as Mandy gets hypnotized by it and seeing future Billy, nude, makes her trance go away. Mandy merely shrugs and hands the hand back to Grim. Grim is forced to put the Hand somewhere. Grim decides to put the Hand in his trunk. The group returns home with future-Billy saying his farewells. Billy asks what he’s going to have for lunch next Tuesday and future Billy says, “I could tell you but then I would have to kill you." Mandy orders Grim to make dinner. Meanwhile, Billybot and now more realistic Mandroid order their own servant, Creeper to serve his drinks.

After the end credits, future Billy returns to his time to see that nothing has changed. He gets grabbed by robots, and sees that Fred Fredburger stole the hand and became Lord Horror. Fred says that his worst nightmare was running out of nachos. He then spells nachos N-A-C-H-O-Z, says his trademark "Yes!", and the movie ends.

==Cultural references==
* The dark future seen in the opener is similar to the "Machine future" depicted in the [[Terminator series]]. The shot of a robot foot crushing a human skull is a parody of the opening shot of ''[[Terminator 2: Judgement Day]]''. When Billy materialises from the future at the end, the sphere he emerges from is similar to that seen at the beginning of the ''Terminator'' movies. When the original Billy asks, "Why are you naked eh? Is it because clothes can't time travel because nothing inorganic can come through the time stream?" is the rationale given by [[Kyle Reese]] in the first ''[[The Terminator|Terminator]]'' film.
* When Skarr is visited by [[Grim]], he points to the hole in his stomach and says "It's just a flesh wound." This is a reference to the [[Black Knight]] from [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]. He also mentions how he cannot watch [[Shark Week]] while his TV is broken.
* The chase sequence when Skarr is driving away, is a parody of [[Spy Hunter]], especially with the oil, smoke screen, and turning into a submarine.
*During car chase scene,you can very briefly see Black Maw truck from episode"Fear and Loathing in Endsville" , a poster of "Lies lies lies" song from episode "Dad Day Afternoon" with the singer's name is Stank and a paper write "Pleaze cancel Billy & Mandy" in a electric pole.
* Horror's Hand, the object this movie revolves around, is likely inspired by the Marvel Comics [[Infinity Gauntlet]] or [[Hellboy|Hellboy's]] Right Hand of Doom (disregarding the artifact is a left hand) or the [[Reality Gauntlet]] from [[Danny Phantom]].
* Towards the end of the movie when Boogey walks off the cliff which he fell off of the first time, he does a yell similar to the [[Disney]] character [[Goofy]]'s famous Goof Yell "Yaaaah-Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hooey".
* During the scene where Mandy is into a series of nightmares, she also dreams she is on a black closed place, like in the beginning of every normal episode.
* Features Billy's spirited rendition of his song "Scary-O" (Sergeant Pooper's Lonely Farts Club Sandwich, a reference to [[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]) because "all animated movies have singing".
* At one point during "Scary-O", Billy is dressed up like [[David Bowie|Aladdin Sane]], similar to his Marilyn Manson costume in the episode [[Battle of the Bands]]. The two costumes are very similar, but in Battle of the Bands, the top half of his head is painted blue. in the movie, he has a red and blue lightning bolt over his eye.
* Grim and Mandy's exchange: "He will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine!" - "I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit," are both lines from ''[[Star Wars: A New Hope|Star Wars]]'' (though they aren't said in the same context).
* The Mandroid's line, "You will be assimilated," parodies the slogan of the [[Borg]] from ''[[Star Trek]]'.
* At one point Harold says, ''Utinni, Yub Yub!'' which mean 'run' in two [[Star Wars]] languages ([[Jawa]]ese and [[Ewok]]ese.)
* The Cannibal Run is drawn from a race from a movie of [[The Cannonball Run|a similar title]]. The Cannibal Run also draws much inspiration from [[Jason and the Argonauts]] and [[The Odyssey]]. The most obvious of these references are Horror, who greatly resembles the titan [[Talos]], and the Crushing Cliffs at the end of the race course.
* The Japanese movie monsters [[Godzilla]], [[King Ghidorah]], [[Anguirus]], [[Rodan]], [[Gigan]] and [[Gamera]] (in that order) all make brief appearances in this movie on an underworld roller coaster ride called [[Monsterland and Monster Island|Monster Island]], a location also from the Godzilla movies.
* The commercials used to mention the upcoming US TV premiere of the movie are parodies of the notorious [[HeadOn]] commercial, which showed a repetitive message looping over and over again, and in later versions, had people appear as the commercial froze and describe how much they dislike the commercial, but love the product. Dracula appears in a similar fashion.
* [[Earth, Wind and Fire]]'s song (feat. [[The Emotions]]) [[Boogie Wonderland]] is featured in the main commercial "trailer" for the US premiere and is used during the ending credits of the movie.
* This film features heavy references to [[Codename: Kids Next Door]], due to the working relationship between [[Tom Warburton]] and [[Maxwell Atoms]].
*Numbah 3 of the [[Kids Next Door]], another animated show on Cartoon Network, appears several times in the movie as Grim's replacement, and Grim references the KND when asking who would replace him, inspiring his superiors to hire Numbah 3. This acts as a prelude to the soon-to-be-released KND and Billy and Mandy crossover "''The Grim Adventures of the Kids Next Door''"
* When Boogey goes into the pipe while he kidnaps Mandy in the quartet's dream, he makes a sound like the pipes from the [[Mario series]]. In fact, this noise is taken from the Mario Cartoons.
* Ro-Man from the movie [[Robot Monster]] can be seen in the jury during Grim's trial.
* Creeper sounds similar to [[Murdoc Niccals]] of the [[Gorillaz]], a popular [[Virtual Band]].
* A monster resembling [[Cousin Itt]] from [[The Addams Family]] wears a top hat and plays guitar similar to [[Slash (musician)|Slash]] during the song "Scary-O". He also has a guitar similar to the one [[Eddie Van Halen]] uses.
* During the court scene, in the jury one can see [[Darth Vader]] and [[The Invisible Man]].
* The movie makes several references to ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]''. During Cannibal Run, Grim & co. row their boat with zombie-like detached limbs, similar to the opening of ''[[Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest|Dead Man's Chest]]'' in which Captain Jack rows his coffin with someone's else's detached leg. Also, the Kraken that eats Billy is similar to the Kraken that eats Jack Sparrow in ''Dead Man's Chest''.
* Boogey says if the Creeper keeps annoying him, employee of the month will go to Fred Fredburger. After he says this, we get a quick glance at Fred Fredburger drinking [[rocket]] fuel through his nose and singing his version of "Frère Jacques."
* During the epilogue, when it shows the shot of Creeper and his time-traveling pants, the cavepeople around him appear to be distorted versions of [[Fred Flintstone]], [[Barney Rubble]], and [[Wilma Flintstone]] of the classic cartoon [[The Flintstones]] (Fred also appeared in an earlier episode of the show).
* In Scary-o, the drummer heavily resembles Animal from The Muppet Show.
* Skarr pulls out a sign that says "Eep" before being zapped by Billybot and Mandroid. This is a reference to Wile E. Coyote from Looney Toons.
* Right after Skarr escapes Grim, he yells "We've got a runner!" quoted from the film [[Logan's Run (1976 film)]] depicting Logan running from his death.
*Billybot and Mandroid are physically similar to [[R2-D2]] & [[C-3PO]] because of Mandroid's color and Billybot's chestplate.
*In the scene where Billy, Grim, and Mandy chase [[General Skarr]], in the background there is a picture of Major Dr. Ghastly from Maxwell Atoms' other show ''[[Evil Con Carne]]''.
*In Mandy's first dream after Boogey sends her into "endless nightmare," she opens a door into a desert dimension which is a reference to "Saturn" from the film [[Beetlejuice]], a realm where ghosts end up if they leave their houses. There are even sandworms in the background.
*On his blog, [[Maxwell Atoms]] noted this is their "[[Wrath of Khan]] movie" because they share the premise of a one episode character becoming the main villain for a full movie.
*During the scene near the end when Boogey gets run over by the train, you can very briefly see that Hector Con Carne is sitting in the conductor's position, hanging his head out the window.
*In the dream scene Mandy says that she dreams about [[The Pit and the Pendulum]] by [[Edgar Allan Poe]], often.
*Billybot speaks in a similar manner as [[HK-47]], in that he says his form of speech [(Statement (most common), Exclamation, Query etc.)] before saying it.
*When Billybot's head explodes from drinking root beer, he makes a sound that sounds like R2-D2.
*The joke Irwin tells to the bears (So a bear and a Rabbit they're pooping in the woods...) is a reference to [[Eddie Murphy]]'s [[Eddie Murphy Delirious|Delirious]]
*The Sunken City of The Witch Queen is probably a spoof of Istar, the Kingpriests Sunken City in the [[Dragon Lance]] series of novels.
*When Billybot shouts "Assimilate! Assimilate!", this is a reference to the Daleks from the show [[Doctor Who]] who shout "Exterminate! Exterminate!".
*When Grim, Billy, Mandy, and Irwin huddle, Irwin says, "Don't worry, I have a Troll Warlock." This references the game World of Warcraft.
*The invisible duck from [[Duck! / Aren't You Chupacabra To See Me?|Duck!]] makes a cameo in this movie in the scene where Boogey shows up what we will do with Horror`s Hand (the moment where he unleashes many monsters).
*In the ending credits, on Hoss Degaldo's wall you can see Concept Art 4 in the game and Death tarot card show on Maxwell Atoms's blog page.

== Goofs ==
* At the beginning when Grim comes to reap Skarr you see through the hole in his chest, but you should actually see the robe he is wearing. However, it is possible that he was wearing the robe when the laser that created the hole first shot through him.
*During the car chase, you can see that the gas pump doesn't hook to anything but in the end it hooks to the firework store and Hot Fudge truck.
* In the episode, [[Bully Boogie]], Boogey was sent to the Pit of Terror, but Mandy asks, "Didn't we banish you to the Nightmare Realm?". This is also referenced in the video game as Boogey's criminal record of being banished there for impersonating a TV (another Bully Boogie reference).
* The DVD subtitles say that [[General Skarr]] said [[damn]].
* When Boogey's ship flies up to the summit of The Isle of Peril, nothing is on the bottom. But during the Cannibal Run, a sea monster is revealed to be fused with the ship.
* When Boogey opens the back window asking if the gang could fly near the falls, the window is a full door, but as he tells Creeper to activate the rockets, the window has two little doors.
* As the gang gets over the falls using Grim's cloak and gaining the lead, in the next scene the snot covering the ship disappears.
* When Billybot eats the cannon, he seems to have put it in a storage portal of some sort. But when he drinks root beer in two scenes, he seems to have a normal robot mouth.
*When Irwin goes to the ships deck to save Mandy, the cannons are lined diagonally. But when Boogey loads the cannons, they're all straight in a line.
* When Billybot says "I like pie!" in the movie, the DVD subtitles say that he said "I am high!". When Billy says "freak out gland!" in "Scary-o" the DVD subtitles say that he said "freak out band!" and when Billybot says "I am dreaming that I am a pygmy marmoset!" the DVD subtitles say that he said "caky marmoset!"
*Horror`s Hand has 5 fingers like us but all the characters have only 4 fingers.
*In the Cannibal Run map, you can see that the Skull Rock has been cut from film and a brand of river lead to Camden, New Jersey.
*In the end, 15 Underworld Cops come out of the vortex, but when they disappear there's only 13 of them.
*When Boogey takes the picture with Grim, his eyes are open but in the picture, his eyes are closed.
*When Billybot first says "Query:why are we hunting Billy and Mandy?", the subtitles read Larry why are we hunting Billy and Mandy>
*Before Billy sees his grandma on the steps to Horror, in one scene, the group can be seen walking over an outline of stairs, not stairs themselves. Also, it should have been boards, not stairs.

== Songs ==
* Land of the Dead: by [[Voltaire (musician)|Voltaire]]
* Scary-O: performed by Billy and the Pirates, written by [[Maxwell Atoms]] and [[Gregory Hinde]]
* [[Boogie Wonderland]]: by [[Earth, Wind and Fire]]

'''''{{Nihongo|Inukami!|いぬかみっ!|}}''''' is a [[Culture of Japan|Japanese]] [[light novel]] series by [[Mamizu Arisawa]] originally serialized in [[Dengeki hp]] about the dog goddess Yōko and her master Keita Kawahira and their fighting against various troublesome spirits. It has been adapted into a manga by artist [[Mari Matsuzawa]] and into an anime by [[Seven Arcs]]. Several more inukamis besides Yōko also play an important role in various episodes, most notably the inukamis of Kaoru Kawahira.

In the anime, Yōko is voiced by the popular voice actress [[Yui Horie]], who also sings the opening theme song.

==Name==
The word "''inukami''" (いぬかみ) appears to be a corruption of the word "''[[inugami]]''" (いぬがみ), a type of Japanese spirit that literally means "dog god". The only difference between the two words is the lack of a ''[[dakuten]]'' in "inukami". It is unknown if this is to differentiate the show's ''inukami'' from typicial ''inugami'', to allow for a pun (''inukami'' can also mean "dog hair" with different [[kanji]]), or for other reasons. A possible reason is that traditional inugami are considered dangerous spirits, more likely to cause harm than help, and are sometimes used to invoke deadly curses.

==Characters==
;{{nihongo|Yōko|ようこ}} {{anime voices|Yui Horie}}
:Yōko is the female lead of the show. She has two main abilities. The first is ''jaen'' (likely 蛇炎, meaning "serpent blaze"), where she shoots a coiling strand of fire out of her fingertips. There is also ''dai-jaen'' (likely 大蛇炎, "mega serpent blaze"), which is just a larger, more powerful variation. The second ability is ''shukichi'', an ability which allows her to teleport objects. Strangely enough, although she is generally fearless in the face of evil spirits, she is terrified of normal dogs. Later on in the series, it is revealed that Yōko is not an Inukami at all, but rather a [[kitsune]] (which would explain her fear of dogs; foxes and dogs are natural enemies) and the daughter of the legendary ''Dai Yōko''. During an escape from Hake she met the child Keita, who was with her for three days and shared his chocolate cake with her, which became one of her favorite things. Due to this incident, she wanted to become Keita's Inukami to make a contract with him.

;{{nihongo|Keita Kawahira|川平啓太}} {{anime voices|Jun Fukuyama}}
:Keita is the male lead of the show. He was considered a failure by his family due to his attitude towards their ancient duty to vanquish evil, treating it like a parttime job, and his initial inability to find an Inukami to bond with. Even though Yōko becomes his ''inukami'' and is fully interested in him, he has a bad habit of flirting with other girls; it is later revealed that Keita is mortified by the thought that, if he should develop a relationship with Yōko, he might become the father of a litter of puppies, rather than of a human baby. He is frequently punished for his transgressions by Yōko, to whom he had to promise that he would be loyal to her, that he would be hers and that he would be her toy, to do with whatever she wanted, before she would contract with him. He wears a dog's collar as a symbol of this pact - an item he originally intended as his 'vow gift' to Yōko. Yōko has frequently landed him in jail by teleporting him into a public place without his clothes, causing him to be mistaken for a streaker and arrested for indecent exposure. Due to this, he has been named Ra-ou (Naked King) by the city's perverts (male and female alike). When he is
naked his groin is replaced by a child's drawing of an elephant.

:Keita possesses considerable athletic skills, can make frog-shaped talismans up to around the size of his fist from rubber which he can use to make ranged attacks and is a practitioner of [[xingyiquan]]. However, a shinigami named 'Sea of Violence' commented his martial arts skill lack style. Despite his many flaws, Keita has considerable redeeming qualities; he is determined, usually fearless and loyal to his friends and to people under his protection.

:Keita's grandmother is the head of the Kawahira family. She has contracted a male Inukami named Hake.

;Shirou Karina
:Karina is a police official who frequently calls on Keita and Yōko for help with cases that have a spirit, monster or magical event at its core. He has stated that he is collecting the "devil's toys" created by an ancient wizard named Sekidōsai. He has more than once gotten Keita off the hook when the latter is once again arrested for indecent exposure after angering Yōko. Karina wields an enchanted weapon he calls ''Angel Blade'' in combat. One of its signature attacks is the ''Holy Crush''. It is later revealed that Sekidōsai is his ancestor; the two men look very much alike, except for their different hair colours. Their characters are very different as well; whereas Karina is a morally upstanding person, Sekidōsai is a pervert. However, it is later hinted at that, subconsciously, Karina may be a pervert, although definitely not to the same extent as his ancestor. He is frequently shown in a variety of fetishes, some granted by misinterpreted wishes and others the products of his subconscious desires.

;Tomekichi
:Tomekichi is 'the traveling cat', a two-tailed [[nekomata]] (a feline spirit-being capable of walking upright and speech, said to grow to about the size of a dog) who is traveling around to search for missing statues. The kindly feline is doing so in honor of a priest who once took care of it, even though the priest is now presumably deceased. Even though his main duty is to search for missing statues, he is also seen taking various jobs, such as being a referee for a medium's tournament. Tomekichi apparently holds considerable esteem among his own people; on one occasion, he lead several other felines in the performing of a barrier spell-chant, which was cast in his name.

;Hake
:Hake is the Inukami of the head of the family who gives out most of the missions for the other members of the Kawahira family. He made a contract with the head of the family when she was near Keita's age on a Non-contract day (coincidently her birthday fifty years before the start of the series), which he claims was because he was bored with his eternal, uneventful life. The contract item he was given are the decorative beads he wears.

;Kaoru Kawahira
:Kaoru is Keita's cousin. Contrary to Keita, Kaoru has a pack of 10 Inukami and he is generally well-thought of, being more restrained and respectable of demeanor, although he is no less kind at heart. All Kaoru's inukami care deeply for him and he seems to return the sentiment, although his connection with Nadeshiko is strongest of all and is probably romantic in nature. Like Keita, Kaoru is quite athletic and a powerful magic-user; his signature move is to command the wind to deliver destructive blasts with the medium of an orchestra conductor's baton. It is later revealed that Kaoru is under a curse that planted him in a fake body, one that is close to dying. He shared this secret only with Nadeshiko, whom he revealed that he loved. He was raised by an evil magician that feeds off of despair, and therefore had everything taken from him by said magician. He later sacrifices himself to save Nadeshiko, and it is then that he confesses his love.

;Kaoru's pack:
Kaoru Kawahira has a pack of ten Inukami, to wit:
;{{nihongo|Nadeshiko|なでしこ}} {{anime voices|Kaori Nazuka}}
:Nadeshiko is an Inukami from the same area as Yōko, who has contracted with Keita's cousin, Kaoru. In sharp contrast to all other Inukami on the show, she initially appears to be pacifistic and to regret the vanquishing of spirits and monsters. Her attitude and unwillingness to join in fights lead to her being temporarily expelled by her pack. Hake sends Nadeshiko to work with Keita as an example to Yōko, who has commented that Nadeshiko is the only one of Kaoru's pack of Inukami with any merit, but resents having her near her contractor, especially since Keita is clearly attracted to Nadeshiko. When the pack challenges Yōko so Nadeshiko might stay with Keita for good, they lose spectacularly and Nadeshiko ends up saving them, showing she has considerable courage and regaining the pack's appreciation by placing herself between Yōko and the pack alpha, Sendan. She constantly wears maid attire, and it is worth noting that Nadeshiko sees Keita's positive qualities from the start and may once have considered contracting with him. She and Kaoru seem to share a special bond that causes some jealousy from her pack-mates at times. Nadeshiko's senses are apparently keener than those of the other Inukami and Yōko has said that Nadeshiko has an ability the rest of her pack lacks.
:It is later revealed that Nadeshiko is a brutally powerful warrior if roused, the master of a power she calls 'the Hammer of Destruction', which smashes everything in its path. At the beginning of the series, Nadeshiko had 'given up her power to Heaven', due to an incident when she had lost herself in the frenzy of battle and nearly destroyed a human village. For a time, she refused to fight anyone or take a master - until she met Kaoru. Only when Kaoru is killed by Sekidousai does Nadeshiko reclaim the Hammer, which is apparently powerful enough to impress even Yōko.

;{{nihongo|Tomohane|ともはね}} {{anime voices|Shizuka Hasegawa}}
:Tomohane is the youngest of the pack of Inukami that has contracted with Kaoru. She has the special ability to track the path of otherworldly entities and apparently has some skill with chemistry. As the youngest and weakest member of her pack, Tomohane fears that she will hold her allies back and so she tries very hard to keep up with the rest of the Inukami. After an adventure involving Keita and a minor spirit-creature - a mujina - which she later adopted as a pet and named Maron, Tomohane was the second of Kaoru's Inukami to recognize Keita's good side.

;{{nihongo|Sendan|せんだん}} {{anime voices|Yuki Matsuoka}}
:Sendan is the leader of Kaoru's pack of Inukami. She seems strict and demanding, but appears so because she seems to have the wellbeing of her contractor and master at heart at all times. Only perfect service is good enough for 'Kaoru-sama'. Sendan is the younger sister of Hake, the male Inukami that serves the head of the Kawahira family. Like her older brother, she always carries around a fan.

[[Image:Mendoi Inukami - 07 E42E5D14 082.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Igusa.]]
;{{nihongo|Igusa|いぐさ}} {{anime voices|Yoko Honda}}
:Igusa is another member of the pack that serves Kaoru. She has green hair, which she wears in two braids and she wears spectacles. Igusa secretly writes shōnen manga under the pseudonym 'Ruriko Saffron' and is extremely shy, causing her to be nervous when around Keita when he's in a perverted mood or when she perceives him to be thus. Despite her fear of perversion in men, she appears to be a closet fan of [[shōnen-ai]] situations herself - a fact she apparently hides from her fellow pack members.

[[Image:Inukami-03042_0001.jpg |150px|thumb|left|Tayune.]]
;{{nihongo|Tayune|たゆね}}
:Tayyune is the sporty-looking, short-haired member of the pack that serves Kaoru. Tayyune is a physical person, quick to beat Keita when she feels he is being perverted towards her, quite loud and prideful. Oddly, she is apparently also deathly afraid of ghost stories and scary things. In combat, she sometimes wields a short staff as a blunt weapon. She is often teased by her fellow Inukami for being scared, and for supposedly getting all "Lovey-dovey" when Keita is mentioned. Tayyune is brutally powerful in combat, possibly second only to Nadeshiko when the latter is fully empowered among Kaoru's inukami.

;Gokyouya
:A grey-haired Inukami who near-constantly wears a white lab coat and may be the oldest of Kaoru's Inukami. Gokyouya is studying seriously to become a doctor at some point and is close friends with two other of Kaoru's Inukami, Furano and Tensou. Before she became Kaoru's inukami, she was linked by contract to Keita's father, Souta; she still has warm feelings for him, which she has in part transferred to Keita, although she does not appear to have any romantic affections towards him. Gokyouya may be the oldest of Kaoru's inukami, as she displays greater maturity than many of her pack members.

;Imari and Sayoka
:Twin sister Inukami, both contracted to Karou. They wear identical dresses, blue with white in the front. Their hair is a light purple tied into one ponytail, Imari's on the right of her head, Sayoka's on the left, held by a giant bead. The twins are usually in perfect agreement, the only time they are seen fighting each other is when they are gunning for the number 1 rank in Kaoru's pack, or when under the influence of a love philter. They are almost never seen apart and finish each others sentences often. The hobby of the twins is growing weird vegetables and plants and testing out their effects, mainly on Keita. In combat, they typically team up on enemies, attacking from opposing sides and sometimes taking items from their target as they strike. Although they are accepted members of Kaoru's pack, their pack-mates consider the twins sly and somewhat unscrupulous and untrustworthy. During the conflict over ranking within the pack, none of the other inukami involved wanted to accept any position beneath the twins, since they feared they would be forced to do all the twins' chores or suffer other troublesome situations.

;Furano
:An Inukami in Kaoru's pack who wears miko attire and has short yellow hair. She has a limited ability to predict the future, though this seems to be a random chance. Furano is one of the least bashful and shy of the inukami in service to Kaoru, as she showed willingness to strip for Keita so that she could obtain the Number One ranking in Kaoru's household. She responded positively to Karina having his hand on her breast and is also of age, as she confirmed when she said that she could "Perform a little extra fan service" since she was "An 18+ character". She is closest to Gokyouya and Tensou among her fellow inukami.

;Tensou
:An Inukami in Kaoru's pack. She wears overalls and has long brown hair that falls down to cover her eyes. Tensou rarely talks, instead opting to draw on her sketch pad a picture of what the person just described. The drawings are done fast and with much detail and accuracy. When Tensou does speak, it is in a low, quiet voice, normally only supplementing what others say. She is perhaps the most reclusive of the Inukami, but is close friends with Gokyouya and Furano.

;Citizens of the darkness
:A group whose name was conceived by Kawarazaki. Basically, it consists of every person who is 'outside society' in some manner, usually because of some sexual or personal habit which is generally considered undesirable. They consist of such people as peeping toms, otaku, flashers and lingerie thieves. They consider Keita to be one of them, to his immense chagrin. Despite their personal quirks, the citizens of the darkness come to the aid of the 'citizens of the light' (just about anyone who isn't one of them) several times against Sekidousai and Jasei. As Kawarazaki has said, without the world of light, there can be no world of darkness.

;Kawarazaki
:Kawarazaki is Keita's senior at school and a dedicated otaku. He pursues Yōko as he wants to use her as a model for a fanzine character, but unfortunately makes the mistake of complimenting her tail for its plumpness and comparing it to a raccoon's. Apparently, Inukami admire ''thin'' tails. He is a cosplay maniac, who enjoys seeing both men and women of any age dressed in "[[Moe (slang)|moe]]" female clothing. Kawarazaki is the first to name and organize the citizens of the darkness in the battle against Sekidōsai. He is a rabid Otaku and as such he sometimes comes off as a pervert or psycho, (such as when he chases Tomohane around the entire city to use her as a model), but his intentions are always good, earning him respect from Keita and Yōko.

;Boss
:A large, muscular man who terms himself a "lingerie artist," but is simply called an underwear thief by most other people. He is quite knowledgeable on various brands and manufacturers of underwear and has received special training so he can remain unobserved while he goes about his 'life's path'. The Boss has on several occasions annoyed Kaoru's inukami by (attempting to) steal their lingerie, but he has also been instrumental in the battle to destroy the robot Xanthippe. Whenever he is seen, the Boss wears trousers, boots ... and lingerie; generally a pair of panties on his head and a bra on his chest. He apparently forms a team with the Peeping Doctor and the Chief Clerk.

;Peeping doctor
:A man dressed in a top hat and dinner suit, who apparently has developed his skills at hiding into the ability to become invisible. While most of the time he uses this power for peeping on women, Kaoru's inukami among them, he also uses it to help Keita during battles against Sekidousai. He has considerable skill in the art of invisibility, as he can sneak past most of Kaoru's inukami, and was able to get close enough to Sekidousai to steal his book, dodge his attacks and escape. The Peeping Doctor claims that he never returns to any place where he has been spotted and affects gentlemanly airs despite his unpleasant hobby. He apparently forms a team with Boss and the Chief Clerk.

;Chief Clerk
:The third member of the team further consisting of the Boss and the Peeping Doctor, the Chief Clerk is a man who usually wears a three-piece suit and much resembles a bespectacled salaryman. The main physical difference between him and any other salaryman is that he constantly goes about tied up in bondage ropes. Another glaring difference is that most salarymen do not, generally speaking, go about begging to be punished; the Chief Clerk is a fervent masochist who constantly begs people to scold and/or punish him and managed to anger Yōko greatly by asking her to break him to her will. In combat, the Chief Clerk's masochistic tendencies sometimes come in use, as even Jasei's skeletal troops seemed to be taken aback by his aggressive solicitation of punishment.

;'''Main antagonists:'''
;Boryoku no Umi (Sea of Violence)
:Boryoku no Umi is a [[Shinigami]], a member of a race of powerful 'death gods/spirits' which, in the inukami setting, behave in a manner often hinting of insanity. A shinigami can do just about anything and will do anything - on a twisted whim. They delight in sowing death and destruction, with Boryoku no Umi being no exception. Boryoku no Umi first appears as the nemesis of the Shindou family, whose last member's guardian contracts Keita and Yōko to protect her. During his battle with Keita, he reveals that he has often granted the wishes of humans for the same price; by contract, he is allowed to murder the family members as they reach adulthood, one by one, until the whole family is dead. In the case of the Shindou family, Boryoku no Umi delighted in fighting any protectors they contracted with their own favored style of combat - and winning, killing all those who would not surrender. In addition to wearing a black shinigami robe, which deflects most ranged attacks, Boryoku no Umi is skilled in a vast array of martial arts and possesses powers of evil magic. Some of his favorite tricks are to awaken a person's deepest fears to paralyze them, or to evoke madness and terror by uttering a deafening shriek. In the end, it turns out a shinigami is not a match for an angered kitsune, however.

;Dai Yōko
:Dai Yōko is, in the words of inukami Hake, ''"A great monster that manipulates the dark side, petrifies his opponents, specializes in fire based spells"'' - namely the ''Jaen'' and ''Dai Jaen'' techniques also used by Yōko, only much more powerful - ''"shakes the universe with a single leap and can do anything with his breath. He is strong and arrogant. When he feels irritated, he will destroy a whole mountain."'' Dai Yōko is an elder kitsune who was sealed under a large stone by the founding patriarch of the Kawahira family and is also the father of Yōko, who he usually addresses as 'my dear daughter' or 'Kawaii (cute) Yōko'. While all the things Hake said about him are true and do not even mention his ability to turn back time within a certain area, Dai Yōko is also a doting father. He is apparently incapable of being angry with his daughter, although she twice aided in sealing him to prevent him from doing damage. A bit of an embarrassing parent, Dai Yōko revealed he has been keeping a picture diary of every moment in his daughter's life, no matter how private. While he is initially dead-set against his daughter being together with Keita, he comes to change his mind, mainly because he is tricked into believing their relationship had already caused Yōko to become pregnant. In past times, Dai Yōko apparently defeated the evil wizard Sekidousai in single combat. The reason he came up against the Kawahira family is that he wanted to conquer their mountain ... so his daughter would have a place to nap.

;{{nihongo|Sekidōsai|赤道際}}
:Sekidousai is a wizard of terrible power, who has managed to live well over 400 years. Of late, he has been forced to go into hiding inside a painting he made when he lost his powers, but he has already made plans to revive himself. Sekidousai is the ancestor of Shirou Karina, who bears a striking resemblance to him. The main external difference is that Sekidousai has a different hairstyle and white-blond hair. The characters of the two men are diametrically opposed; where Karina is a defender of justice and an agent of the law, Sekidousai's main desire is to create a world without restrictions, where all can live according to their very darkest desires. In addition, Sekidousai is a voluntary exhibitionist ...
:During his long life, Sekidousai created several powerful items.
:1) The book which caused the rising of the 'demon' in the first episode of ''Inukami'', which can apparently also reflect attacks made against its bearer.
:2) The mechanical rooster ''[[Socrates]]'', which can change the clothing of people within a certain range to match the strongest desires of a person in its vicinity.
:3) A robot oddly named ''[[Xanthippe]]'', whose main weapon is a drill, set in its groin.
:4) The ''Daisakkai'', which appears to be a kind of magical computer that initially serves to govern the world inside Sekidousai's painting refuge. Later, it manages Sekidousai's stolen energies. Daisakkai's ultimate purpose is to use the energies it receives to grant any single wish.

;Jasei
:Jasei is a wizard who claims to have 'mastered the art of magic'. His human body was destroyed during a magical experiment, but he lives on in a state reminiscent of [[lich]]dom, with a large gem in what would have been his abdomen apparently sustaining his existence on Earth. Jasei powers his unnatural existence by feeding on despair. He is powerful and cunning, willing to concoct schemes which may take years to come to fruition, in order to reap the greatest possible amount of despair for his personal enjoyment. One example of this was his raising and tutoring Kaoru Kawahira to be a good and kind person, after having placed the boy's soul in a counterfeit body, all with the eventual goal of revealing the depth of his own evil, sadism and treachery so Kaoru's heart and spirit would be broken. Jasei is apparently an even more powerful wizard than Sekidousai, as he proved capable of hoodwinking the latter without his even noticing.

'''''{{Nihongo|Inukami!|いぬかみっ!|}}''''' is a [[Culture of Japan|Japanese]] [[light novel]] series by [[Mamizu Arisawa]] originally serialized in [[Dengeki hp]] about the dog goddess Yōko and her master Keita Kawahira and their fighting against various troublesome spirits. It has been adapted into a manga by artist [[Mari Matsuzawa]] and into an anime by [[Seven Arcs]]. Several more inukamis besides Yōko also play an important role in various episodes, most notably the inukamis of Kaoru Kawahira.

In the anime, Yōko is voiced by the popular voice actress [[Yui Horie]], who also sings the opening theme song.

==Name==
The word "''inukami''" (いぬかみ) appears to be a corruption of the word "''[[inugami]]''" (いぬがみ), a type of Japanese spirit that literally means "dog god". The only difference between the two words is the lack of a ''[[dakuten]]'' in "inukami". It is unknown if this is to differentiate the show's ''inukami'' from typicial ''inugami'', to allow for a pun (''inukami'' can also mean "dog hair" with different [[kanji]]), or for other reasons. A possible reason is that traditional inugami are considered dangerous spirits, more likely to cause harm than help, and are sometimes used to invoke deadly curses.

==Characters==
;{{nihongo|Yōko|ようこ}} {{anime voices|Yui Horie}}
:Yōko is the female lead of the show. She has two main abilities. The first is ''jaen'' (likely 蛇炎, meaning "serpent blaze"), where she shoots a coiling strand of fire out of her fingertips. There is also ''dai-jaen'' (likely 大蛇炎, "mega serpent blaze"), which is just a larger, more powerful variation. The second ability is ''shukichi'', an ability which allows her to teleport objects. Strangely enough, although she is generally fearless in the face of evil spirits, she is terrified of normal dogs. Later on in the series, it is revealed that Yōko is not an Inukami at all, but rather a [[kitsune]] (which would explain her fear of dogs; foxes and dogs are natural enemies) and the daughter of the legendary ''Dai Yōko''. During an escape from Hake she met the child Keita, who was with her for three days and shared his chocolate cake with her, which became one of her favorite things. Due to this incident, she wanted to become Keita's Inukami to make a contract with him.

;{{nihongo|Keita Kawahira|川平啓太}} {{anime voices|Jun Fukuyama}}
:Keita is the male lead of the show. He was considered a failure by his family due to his attitude towards their ancient duty to vanquish evil, treating it like a parttime job, and his initial inability to find an Inukami to bond with. Even though Yōko becomes his ''inukami'' and is fully interested in him, he has a bad habit of flirting with other girls; it is later revealed that Keita is mortified by the thought that, if he should develop a relationship with Yōko, he might become the father of a litter of puppies, rather than of a human baby. He is frequently punished for his transgressions by Yōko, to whom he had to promise that he would be loyal to her, that he would be hers and that he would be her toy, to do with whatever she wanted, before she would contract with him. He wears a dog's collar as a symbol of this pact - an item he originally intended as his 'vow gift' to Yōko. Yōko has frequently landed him in jail by teleporting him into a public place without his clothes, causing him to be mistaken for a streaker and arrested for indecent exposure. Due to this, he has been named Ra-ou (Naked King) by the city's perverts (male and female alike). When he is
naked his groin is replaced by a child's drawing of an elephant.

:Keita possesses considerable athletic skills, can make frog-shaped talismans up to around the size of his fist from rubber which he can use to make ranged attacks and is a practitioner of [[xingyiquan]]. However, a shinigami named 'Sea of Violence' commented his martial arts skill lack style. Despite his many flaws, Keita has considerable redeeming qualities; he is determined, usually fearless and loyal to his friends and to people under his protection.

:Keita's grandmother is the head of the Kawahira family. She has contracted a male Inukami named Hake.

;Shirou Karina
:Karina is a police official who frequently calls on Keita and Yōko for help with cases that have a spirit, monster or magical event at its core. He has stated that he is collecting the "devil's toys" created by an ancient wizard named Sekidōsai. He has more than once gotten Keita off the hook when the latter is once again arrested for indecent exposure after angering Yōko. Karina wields an enchanted weapon he calls ''Angel Blade'' in combat. One of its signature attacks is the ''Holy Crush''. It is later revealed that Sekidōsai is his ancestor; the two men look very much alike, except for their different hair colours. Their characters are very different as well; whereas Karina is a morally upstanding person, Sekidōsai is a pervert. However, it is later hinted at that, subconsciously, Karina may be a pervert, although definitely not to the same extent as his ancestor. He is frequently shown in a variety of fetishes, some granted by misinterpreted wishes and others the products of his subconscious desires.

;Tomekichi
:Tomekichi is 'the traveling cat', a two-tailed [[nekomata]] (a feline spirit-being capable of walking upright and speech, said to grow to about the size of a dog) who is traveling around to search for missing statues. The kindly feline is doing so in honor of a priest who once took care of it, even though the priest is now presumably deceased. Even though his main duty is to search for missing statues, he is also seen taking various jobs, such as being a referee for a medium's tournament. Tomekichi apparently holds considerable esteem among his own people; on one occasion, he lead several other felines in the performing of a barrier spell-chant, which was cast in his name.

;Hake
:Hake is the Inukami of the head of the family who gives out most of the missions for the other members of the Kawahira family. He made a contract with the head of the family when she was near Keita's age on a Non-contract day (coincidently her birthday fifty years before the start of the series), which he claims was because he was bored with his eternal, uneventful life. The contract item he was given are the decorative beads he wears.

;Kaoru Kawahira
:Kaoru is Keita's cousin. Contrary to Keita, Kaoru has a pack of 10 Inukami and he is generally well-thought of, being more restrained and respectable of demeanor, although he is no less kind at heart. All Kaoru's inukami care deeply for him and he seems to return the sentiment, although his connection with Nadeshiko is strongest of all and is probably romantic in nature. Like Keita, Kaoru is quite athletic and a powerful magic-user; his signature move is to command the wind to deliver destructive blasts with the medium of an orchestra conductor's baton. It is later revealed that Kaoru is under a curse that planted him in a fake body, one that is close to dying. He shared this secret only with Nadeshiko, whom he revealed that he loved. He was raised by an evil magician that feeds off of despair, and therefore had everything taken from him by said magician. He later sacrifices himself to save Nadeshiko, and it is then that he confesses his love.

;Kaoru's pack:
Kaoru Kawahira has a pack of ten Inukami, to wit:
;{{nihongo|Nadeshiko|なでしこ}} {{anime voices|Kaori Nazuka}}
:Nadeshiko is an Inukami from the same area as Yōko, who has contracted with Keita's cousin, Kaoru. In sharp contrast to all other Inukami on the show, she initially appears to be pacifistic and to regret the vanquishing of spirits and monsters. Her attitude and unwillingness to join in fights lead to her being temporarily expelled by her pack. Hake sends Nadeshiko to work with Keita as an example to Yōko, who has commented that Nadeshiko is the only one of Kaoru's pack of Inukami with any merit, but resents having her near her contractor, especially since Keita is clearly attracted to Nadeshiko. When the pack challenges Yōko so Nadeshiko might stay with Keita for good, they lose spectacularly and Nadeshiko ends up saving them, showing she has considerable courage and regaining the pack's appreciation by placing herself between Yōko and the pack alpha, Sendan. She constantly wears maid attire, and it is worth noting that Nadeshiko sees Keita's positive qualities from the start and may once have considered contracting with him. She and Kaoru seem to share a special bond that causes some jealousy from her pack-mates at times. Nadeshiko's senses are apparently keener than those of the other Inukami and Yōko has said that Nadeshiko has an ability the rest of her pack lacks.
:It is later revealed that Nadeshiko is a brutally powerful warrior if roused, the master of a power she calls 'the Hammer of Destruction', which smashes everything in its path. At the beginning of the series, Nadeshiko had 'given up her power to Heaven', due to an incident when she had lost herself in the frenzy of battle and nearly destroyed a human village. For a time, she refused to fight anyone or take a master - until she met Kaoru. Only when Kaoru is killed by Sekidousai does Nadeshiko reclaim the Hammer, which is apparently powerful enough to impress even Yōko.

;{{nihongo|Tomohane|ともはね}} {{anime voices|Shizuka Hasegawa}}
:Tomohane is the youngest of the pack of Inukami that has contracted with Kaoru. She has the special ability to track the path of otherworldly entities and apparently has some skill with chemistry. As the youngest and weakest member of her pack, Tomohane fears that she will hold her allies back and so she tries very hard to keep up with the rest of the Inukami. After an adventure involving Keita and a minor spirit-creature - a mujina - which she later adopted as a pet and named Maron, Tomohane was the second of Kaoru's Inukami to recognize Keita's good side.

;{{nihongo|Sendan|せんだん}} {{anime voices|Yuki Matsuoka}}
:Sendan is the leader of Kaoru's pack of Inukami. She seems strict and demanding, but appears so because she seems to have the wellbeing of her contractor and master at heart at all times. Only perfect service is good enough for 'Kaoru-sama'. Sendan is the younger sister of Hake, the male Inukami that serves the head of the Kawahira family. Like her older brother, she always carries around a fan.

[[Image:Mendoi Inukami - 07 E42E5D14 082.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Igusa.]]
;{{nihongo|Igusa|いぐさ}} {{anime voices|Yoko Honda}}
:Igusa is another member of the pack that serves Kaoru. She has green hair, which she wears in two braids and she wears spectacles. Igusa secretly writes shōnen manga under the pseudonym 'Ruriko Saffron' and is extremely shy, causing her to be nervous when around Keita when he's in a perverted mood or when she perceives him to be thus. Despite her fear of perversion in men, she appears to be a closet fan of [[shōnen-ai]] situations herself - a fact she apparently hides from her fellow pack members.

[[Image:Inukami-03042_0001.jpg |150px|thumb|left|Tayune.]]
;{{nihongo|Tayune|たゆね}}
:Tayyune is the sporty-looking, short-haired member of the pack that serves Kaoru. Tayyune is a physical person, quick to beat Keita when she feels he is being perverted towards her, quite loud and prideful. Oddly, she is apparently also deathly afraid of ghost stories and scary things. In combat, she sometimes wields a short staff as a blunt weapon. She is often teased by her fellow Inukami for being scared, and for supposedly getting all "Lovey-dovey" when Keita is mentioned. Tayyune is brutally powerful in combat, possibly second only to Nadeshiko when the latter is fully empowered among Kaoru's inukami.

;Gokyouya
:A grey-haired Inukami who near-constantly wears a white lab coat and may be the oldest of Kaoru's Inukami. Gokyouya is studying seriously to become a doctor at some point and is close friends with two other of Kaoru's Inukami, Furano and Tensou. Before she became Kaoru's inukami, she was linked by contract to Keita's father, Souta; she still has warm feelings for him, which she has in part transferred to Keita, although she does not appear to have any romantic affections towards him. Gokyouya may be the oldest of Kaoru's inukami, as she displays greater maturity than many of her pack members.

;Imari and Sayoka
:Twin sister Inukami, both contracted to Karou. They wear identical dresses, blue with white in the front. Their hair is a light purple tied into one ponytail, Imari's on the right of her head, Sayoka's on the left, held by a giant bead. The twins are usually in perfect agreement, the only time they are seen fighting each other is when they are gunning for the number 1 rank in Kaoru's pack, or when under the influence of a love philter. They are almost never seen apart and finish each others sentences often. The hobby of the twins is growing weird vegetables and plants and testing out their effects, mainly on Keita. In combat, they typically team up on enemies, attacking from opposing sides and sometimes taking items from their target as they strike. Although they are accepted members of Kaoru's pack, their pack-mates consider the twins sly and somewhat unscrupulous and untrustworthy. During the conflict over ranking within the pack, none of the other inukami involved wanted to accept any position beneath the twins, since they feared they would be forced to do all the twins' chores or suffer other troublesome situations.

;Furano
:An Inukami in Kaoru's pack who wears miko attire and has short yellow hair. She has a limited ability to predict the future, though this seems to be a random chance. Furano is one of the least bashful and shy of the inukami in service to Kaoru, as she showed willingness to strip for Keita so that she could obtain the Number One ranking in Kaoru's household. She responded positively to Karina having his hand on her breast and is also of age, as she confirmed when she said that she could "Perform a little extra fan service" since she was "An 18+ character". She is closest to Gokyouya and Tensou among her fellow inukami.

;Tensou
:An Inukami in Kaoru's pack. She wears overalls and has long brown hair that falls down to cover her eyes. Tensou rarely talks, instead opting to draw on her sketch pad a picture of what the person just described. The drawings are done fast and with much detail and accuracy. When Tensou does speak, it is in a low, quiet voice, normally only supplementing what others say. She is perhaps the most reclusive of the Inukami, but is close friends with Gokyouya and Furano.

;Citizens of the darkness
:A group whose name was conceived by Kawarazaki. Basically, it consists of every person who is 'outside society' in some manner, usually because of some sexual or personal habit which is generally considered undesirable. They consist of such people as peeping toms, otaku, flashers and lingerie thieves. They consider Keita to be one of them, to his immense chagrin. Despite their personal quirks, the citizens of the darkness come to the aid of the 'citizens of the light' (just about anyone who isn't one of them) several times against Sekidousai and Jasei. As Kawarazaki has said, without the world of light, there can be no world of darkness.

;Kawarazaki
:Kawarazaki is Keita's senior at school and a dedicated otaku. He pursues Yōko as he wants to use her as a model for a fanzine character, but unfortunately makes the mistake of complimenting her tail for its plumpness and comparing it to a raccoon's. Apparently, Inukami admire ''thin'' tails. He is a cosplay maniac, who enjoys seeing both men and women of any age dressed in "[[Moe (slang)|moe]]" female clothing. Kawarazaki is the first to name and organize the citizens of the darkness in the battle against Sekidōsai. He is a rabid Otaku and as such he sometimes comes off as a pervert or psycho, (such as when he chases Tomohane around the entire city to use her as a model), but his intentions are always good, earning him respect from Keita and Yōko.

;Boss
:A large, muscular man who terms himself a "lingerie artist," but is simply called an underwear thief by most other people. He is quite knowledgeable on various brands and manufacturers of underwear and has received special training so he can remain unobserved while he goes about his 'life's path'. The Boss has on several occasions annoyed Kaoru's inukami by (attempting to) steal their lingerie, but he has also been instrumental in the battle to destroy the robot Xanthippe. Whenever he is seen, the Boss wears trousers, boots ... and lingerie; generally a pair of panties on his head and a bra on his chest. He apparently forms a team with the Peeping Doctor and the Chief Clerk.

;Peeping doctor
:A man dressed in a top hat and dinner suit, who apparently has developed his skills at hiding into the ability to become invisible. While most of the time he uses this power for peeping on women, Kaoru's inukami among them, he also uses it to help Keita during battles against Sekidousai. He has considerable skill in the art of invisibility, as he can sneak past most of Kaoru's inukami, and was able to get close enough to Sekidousai to steal his book, dodge his attacks and escape. The Peeping Doctor claims that he never returns to any place where he has been spotted and affects gentlemanly airs despite his unpleasant hobby. He apparently forms a team with Boss and the Chief Clerk.

;Chief Clerk
:The third member of the team further consisting of the Boss and the Peeping Doctor, the Chief Clerk is a man who usually wears a three-piece suit and much resembles a bespectacled salaryman. The main physical difference between him and any other salaryman is that he constantly goes about tied up in bondage ropes. Another glaring difference is that most salarymen do not, generally speaking, go about begging to be punished; the Chief Clerk is a fervent masochist who constantly begs people to scold and/or punish him and managed to anger Yōko greatly by asking her to break him to her will. In combat, the Chief Clerk's masochistic tendencies sometimes come in use, as even Jasei's skeletal troops seemed to be taken aback by his aggressive solicitation of punishment.

;'''Main antagonists:'''
;Boryoku no Umi (Sea of Violence)
:Boryoku no Umi is a [[Shinigami]], a member of a race of powerful 'death gods/spirits' which, in the inukami setting, behave in a manner often hinting of insanity. A shinigami can do just about anything and will do anything - on a twisted whim. They delight in sowing death and destruction, with Boryoku no Umi being no exception. Boryoku no Umi first appears as the nemesis of the Shindou family, whose last member's guardian contracts Keita and Yōko to protect her. During his battle with Keita, he reveals that he has often granted the wishes of humans for the same price; by contract, he is allowed to murder the family members as they reach adulthood, one by one, until the whole family is dead. In the case of the Shindou family, Boryoku no Umi delighted in fighting any protectors they contracted with their own favored style of combat - and winning, killing all those who would not surrender. In addition to wearing a black shinigami robe, which deflects most ranged attacks, Boryoku no Umi is skilled in a vast array of martial arts and possesses powers of evil magic. Some of his favorite tricks are to awaken a person's deepest fears to paralyze them, or to evoke madness and terror by uttering a deafening shriek. In the end, it turns out a shinigami is not a match for an angered kitsune, however.

;Dai Yōko
:Dai Yōko is, in the words of inukami Hake, ''"A great monster that manipulates the dark side, petrifies his opponents, specializes in fire based spells"'' - namely the ''Jaen'' and ''Dai Jaen'' techniques also used by Yōko, only much more powerful - ''"shakes the universe with a single leap and can do anything with his breath. He is strong and arrogant. When he feels irritated, he will destroy a whole mountain."'' Dai Yōko is an elder kitsune who was sealed under a large stone by the founding patriarch of the Kawahira family and is also the father of Yōko, who he usually addresses as 'my dear daughter' or 'Kawaii (cute) Yōko'. While all the things Hake said about him are true and do not even mention his ability to turn back time within a certain area, Dai Yōko is also a doting father. He is apparently incapable of being angry with his daughter, although she twice aided in sealing him to prevent him from doing damage. A bit of an embarrassing parent, Dai Yōko revealed he has been keeping a picture diary of every moment in his daughter's life, no matter how private. While he is initially dead-set against his daughter being together with Keita, he comes to change his mind, mainly because he is tricked into believing their relationship had already caused Yōko to become pregnant. In past times, Dai Yōko apparently defeated the evil wizard Sekidousai in single combat. The reason he came up against the Kawahira family is that he wanted to conquer their mountain ... so his daughter would have a place to nap.

;{{nihongo|Sekidōsai|赤道際}}
:Sekidousai is a wizard of terrible power, who has managed to live well over 400 years. Of late, he has been forced to go into hiding inside a painting he made when he lost his powers, but he has already made plans to revive himself. Sekidousai is the ancestor of Shirou Karina, who bears a striking resemblance to him. The main external difference is that Sekidousai has a different hairstyle and white-blond hair. The characters of the two men are diametrically opposed; where Karina is a defender of justice and an agent of the law, Sekidousai's main desire is to create a world without restrictions, where all can live according to their very darkest desires. In addition, Sekidousai is a voluntary exhibitionist ...
:During his long life, Sekidousai created several powerful items.
:1) The book which caused the rising of the 'demon' in the first episode of ''Inukami'', which can apparently also reflect attacks made against its bearer.
:2) The mechanical rooster ''[[Socrates]]'', which can change the clothing of people within a certain range to match the strongest desires of a person in its vicinity.
:3) A robot oddly named ''[[Xanthippe]]'', whose main weapon is a drill, set in its groin.
:4) The ''Daisakkai'', which appears to be a kind of magical computer that initially serves to govern the world inside Sekidousai's painting refuge. Later, it manages Sekidousai's stolen energies. Daisakkai's ultimate purpose is to use the energies it receives to grant any single wish.

;Jasei
:Jasei is a wizard who claims to have 'mastered the art of magic'. His human body was destroyed during a magical experiment, but he lives on in a state reminiscent of [[lich]]dom, with a large gem in what would have been his abdomen apparently sustaining his existence on Earth. Jasei powers his unnatural existence by feeding on despair. He is powerful and cunning, willing to concoct schemes which may take years to come to fruition, in order to reap the greatest possible amount of despair for his personal enjoyment. One example of this was his raising and tutoring Kaoru Kawahira to be a good and kind person, after having placed the boy's soul in a counterfeit body, all with the eventual goal of revealing the depth of his own evil, sadism and treachery so Kaoru's heart and spirit would be broken. Jasei is apparently an even more powerful wizard than Sekidousai, as he proved capable of hoodwinking the latter without his even noticing.

'''''{{Nihongo|Inukami!|いぬかみっ!|}}''''' is a [[Culture of Japan|Japanese]] [[light novel]] series by [[Mamizu Arisawa]] originally serialized in [[Dengeki hp]] about the dog goddess Yōko and her master Keita Kawahira and their fighting against various troublesome spirits. It has been adapted into a manga by artist [[Mari Matsuzawa]] and into an anime by [[Seven Arcs]]. Several more inukamis besides Yōko also play an important role in various episodes, most notably the inukamis of Kaoru Kawahira.

In the anime, Yōko is voiced by the popular voice actress [[Yui Horie]], who also sings the opening theme song.

==Name==
The word "''inukami''" (いぬかみ) appears to be a corruption of the word "''[[inugami]]''" (いぬがみ), a type of Japanese spirit that literally means "dog god". The only difference between the two words is the lack of a ''[[dakuten]]'' in "inukami". It is unknown if this is to differentiate the show's ''inukami'' from typicial ''inugami'', to allow for a pun (''inukami'' can also mean "dog hair" with different [[kanji]]), or for other reasons. A possible reason is that traditional inugami are considered dangerous spirits, more likely to cause harm than help, and are sometimes used to invoke deadly curses.

==Characters==
;{{nihongo|Yōko|ようこ}} {{anime voices|Yui Horie}}
:Yōko is the female lead of the show. She has two main abilities. The first is ''jaen'' (likely 蛇炎, meaning "serpent blaze"), where she shoots a coiling strand of fire out of her fingertips. There is also ''dai-jaen'' (likely 大蛇炎, "mega serpent blaze"), which is just a larger, more powerful variation. The second ability is ''shukichi'', an ability which allows her to teleport objects. Strangely enough, although she is generally fearless in the face of evil spirits, she is terrified of normal dogs. Later on in the series, it is revealed that Yōko is not an Inukami at all, but rather a [[kitsune]] (which would explain her fear of dogs; foxes and dogs are natural enemies) and the daughter of the legendary ''Dai Yōko''. During an escape from Hake she met the child Keita, who was with her for three days and shared his chocolate cake with her, which became one of her favorite things. Due to this incident, she wanted to become Keita's Inukami to make a contract with him.

;{{nihongo|Keita Kawahira|川平啓太}} {{anime voices|Jun Fukuyama}}
:Keita is the male lead of the show. He was considered a failure by his family due to his attitude towards their ancient duty to vanquish evil, treating it like a parttime job, and his initial inability to find an Inukami to bond with. Even though Yōko becomes his ''inukami'' and is fully interested in him, he has a bad habit of flirting with other girls; it is later revealed that Keita is mortified by the thought that, if he should develop a relationship with Yōko, he might become the father of a litter of puppies, rather than of a human baby. He is frequently punished for his transgressions by Yōko, to whom he had to promise that he would be loyal to her, that he would be hers and that he would be her toy, to do with whatever she wanted, before she would contract with him. He wears a dog's collar as a symbol of this pact - an item he originally intended as his 'vow gift' to Yōko. Yōko has frequently landed him in jail by teleporting him into a public place without his clothes, causing him to be mistaken for a streaker and arrested for indecent exposure. Due to this, he has been named Ra-ou (Naked King) by the city's perverts (male and female alike). When he is
naked his groin is replaced by a child's drawing of an elephant.

:Keita possesses considerable athletic skills, can make frog-shaped talismans up to around the size of his fist from rubber which he can use to make ranged attacks and is a practitioner of [[xingyiquan]]. However, a shinigami named 'Sea of Violence' commented his martial arts skill lack style. Despite his many flaws, Keita has considerable redeeming qualities; he is determined, usually fearless and loyal to his friends and to people under his protection.

:Keita's grandmother is the head of the Kawahira family. She has contracted a male Inukami named Hake.

;Shirou Karina
:Karina is a police official who frequently calls on Keita and Yōko for help with cases that have a spirit, monster or magical event at its core. He has stated that he is collecting the "devil's toys" created by an ancient wizard named Sekidōsai. He has more than once gotten Keita off the hook when the latter is once again arrested for indecent exposure after angering Yōko. Karina wields an enchanted weapon he calls ''Angel Blade'' in combat. One of its signature attacks is the ''Holy Crush''. It is later revealed that Sekidōsai is his ancestor; the two men look very much alike, except for their different hair colours. Their characters are very different as well; whereas Karina is a morally upstanding person, Sekidōsai is a pervert. However, it is later hinted at that, subconsciously, Karina may be a pervert, although definitely not to the same extent as his ancestor. He is frequently shown in a variety of fetishes, some granted by misinterpreted wishes and others the products of his subconscious desires.

;Tomekichi
:Tomekichi is 'the traveling cat', a two-tailed [[nekomata]] (a feline spirit-being capable of walking upright and speech, said to grow to about the size of a dog) who is traveling around to search for missing statues. The kindly feline is doing so in honor of a priest who once took care of it, even though the priest is now presumably deceased. Even though his main duty is to search for missing statues, he is also seen taking various jobs, such as being a referee for a medium's tournament. Tomekichi apparently holds considerable esteem among his own people; on one occasion, he lead several other felines in the performing of a barrier spell-chant, which was cast in his name.

;Hake
:Hake is the Inukami of the head of the family who gives out most of the missions for the other members of the Kawahira family. He made a contract with the head of the family when she was near Keita's age on a Non-contract day (coincidently her birthday fifty years before the start of the series), which he claims was because he was bored with his eternal, uneventful life. The contract item he was given are the decorative beads he wears.

;Kaoru Kawahira
:Kaoru is Keita's cousin. Contrary to Keita, Kaoru has a pack of 10 Inukami and he is generally well-thought of, being more restrained and respectable of demeanor, although he is no less kind at heart. All Kaoru's inukami care deeply for him and he seems to return the sentiment, although his connection with Nadeshiko is strongest of all and is probably romantic in nature. Like Keita, Kaoru is quite athletic and a powerful magic-user; his signature move is to command the wind to deliver destructive blasts with the medium of an orchestra conductor's baton. It is later revealed that Kaoru is under a curse that planted him in a fake body, one that is close to dying. He shared this secret only with Nadeshiko, whom he revealed that he loved. He was raised by an evil magician that feeds off of despair, and therefore had everything taken from him by said magician. He later sacrifices himself to save Nadeshiko, and it is then that he confesses his love.

;Kaoru's pack:
Kaoru Kawahira has a pack of ten Inukami, to wit:
;{{nihongo|Nadeshiko|なでしこ}} {{anime voices|Kaori Nazuka}}
:Nadeshiko is an Inukami from the same area as Yōko, who has contracted with Keita's cousin, Kaoru. In sharp contrast to all other Inukami on the show, she initially appears to be pacifistic and to regret the vanquishing of spirits and monsters. Her attitude and unwillingness to join in fights lead to her being temporarily expelled by her pack. Hake sends Nadeshiko to work with Keita as an example to Yōko, who has commented that Nadeshiko is the only one of Kaoru's pack of Inukami with any merit, but resents having her near her contractor, especially since Keita is clearly attracted to Nadeshiko. When the pack challenges Yōko so Nadeshiko might stay with Keita for good, they lose spectacularly and Nadeshiko ends up saving them, showing she has considerable courage and regaining the pack's appreciation by placing herself between Yōko and the pack alpha, Sendan. She constantly wears maid attire, and it is worth noting that Nadeshiko sees Keita's positive qualities from the start and may once have considered contracting with him. She and Kaoru seem to share a special bond that causes some jealousy from her pack-mates at times. Nadeshiko's senses are apparently keener than those of the other Inukami and Yōko has said that Nadeshiko has an ability the rest of her pack lacks.
:It is later revealed that Nadeshiko is a brutally powerful warrior if roused, the master of a power she calls 'the Hammer of Destruction', which smashes everything in its path. At the beginning of the series, Nadeshiko had 'given up her power to Heaven', due to an incident when she had lost herself in the frenzy of battle and nearly destroyed a human village. For a time, she refused to fight anyone or take a master - until she met Kaoru. Only when Kaoru is killed by Sekidousai does Nadeshiko reclaim the Hammer, which is apparently powerful enough to impress even Yōko.

;{{nihongo|Tomohane|ともはね}} {{anime voices|Shizuka Hasegawa}}
:Tomohane is the youngest of the pack of Inukami that has contracted with Kaoru. She has the special ability to track the path of otherworldly entities and apparently has some skill with chemistry. As the youngest and weakest member of her pack, Tomohane fears that she will hold her allies back and so she tries very hard to keep up with the rest of the Inukami. After an adventure involving Keita and a minor spirit-creature - a mujina - which she later adopted as a pet and named Maron, Tomohane was the second of Kaoru's Inukami to recognize Keita's good side.

;{{nihongo|Sendan|せんだん}} {{anime voices|Yuki Matsuoka}}
:Sendan is the leader of Kaoru's pack of Inukami. She seems strict and demanding, but appears so because she seems to have the wellbeing of her contractor and master at heart at all times. Only perfect service is good enough for 'Kaoru-sama'. Sendan is the younger sister of Hake, the male Inukami that serves the head of the Kawahira family. Like her older brother, she always carries around a fan.

[[Image:Mendoi Inukami - 07 E42E5D14 082.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Igusa.]]
;{{nihongo|Igusa|いぐさ}} {{anime voices|Yoko Honda}}
:Igusa is another member of the pack that serves Kaoru. She has green hair, which she wears in two braids and she wears spectacles. Igusa secretly writes shōnen manga under the pseudonym 'Ruriko Saffron' and is extremely shy, causing her to be nervous when around Keita when he's in a perverted mood or when she perceives him to be thus. Despite her fear of perversion in men, she appears to be a closet fan of [[shōnen-ai]] situations herself - a fact she apparently hides from her fellow pack members.

[[Image:Inukami-03042_0001.jpg |150px|thumb|left|Tayune.]]
;{{nihongo|Tayune|たゆね}}
:Tayyune is the sporty-looking, short-haired member of the pack that serves Kaoru. Tayyune is a physical person, quick to beat Keita when she feels he is being perverted towards her, quite loud and prideful. Oddly, she is apparently also deathly afraid of ghost stories and scary things. In combat, she sometimes wields a short staff as a blunt weapon. She is often teased by her fellow Inukami for being scared, and for supposedly getting all "Lovey-dovey" when Keita is mentioned. Tayyune is brutally powerful in combat, possibly second only to Nadeshiko when the latter is fully empowered among Kaoru's inukami.

;Gokyouya
:A grey-haired Inukami who near-constantly wears a white lab coat and may be the oldest of Kaoru's Inukami. Gokyouya is studying seriously to become a doctor at some point and is close friends with two other of Kaoru's Inukami, Furano and Tensou. Before she became Kaoru's inukami, she was linked by contract to Keita's father, Souta; she still has warm feelings for him, which she has in part transferred to Keita, although she does not appear to have any romantic affections towards him. Gokyouya may be the oldest of Kaoru's inukami, as she displays greater maturity than many of her pack members.

;Imari and Sayoka
:Twin sister Inukami, both contracted to Karou. They wear identical dresses, blue with white in the front. Their hair is a light purple tied into one ponytail, Imari's on the right of her head, Sayoka's on the left, held by a giant bead. The twins are usually in perfect agreement, the only time they are seen fighting each other is when they are gunning for the number 1 rank in Kaoru's pack, or when under the influence of a love philter. They are almost never seen apart and finish each others sentences often. The hobby of the twins is growing weird vegetables and plants and testing out their effects, mainly on Keita. In combat, they typically team up on enemies, attacking from opposing sides and sometimes taking items from their target as they strike. Although they are accepted members of Kaoru's pack, their pack-mates consider the twins sly and somewhat unscrupulous and untrustworthy. During the conflict over ranking within the pack, none of the other inukami involved wanted to accept any position beneath the twins, since they feared they would be forced to do all the twins' chores or suffer other troublesome situations.

;Furano
:An Inukami in Kaoru's pack who wears miko attire and has short yellow hair. She has a limited ability to predict the future, though this seems to be a random chance. Furano is one of the least bashful and shy of the inukami in service to Kaoru, as she showed willingness to strip for Keita so that she could obtain the Number One ranking in Kaoru's household. She responded positively to Karina having his hand on her breast and is also of age, as she confirmed when she said that she could "Perform a little extra fan service" since she was "An 18+ character". She is closest to Gokyouya and Tensou among her fellow inukami.

;Tensou
:An Inukami in Kaoru's pack. She wears overalls and has long brown hair that falls down to cover her eyes. Tensou rarely talks, instead opting to draw on her sketch pad a picture of what the person just described. The drawings are done fast and with much detail and accuracy. When Tensou does speak, it is in a low, quiet voice, normally only supplementing what others say. She is perhaps the most reclusive of the Inukami, but is close friends with Gokyouya and Furano.

;Citizens of the darkness
:A group whose name was conceived by Kawarazaki. Basically, it consists of every person who is 'outside society' in some manner, usually because of some sexual or personal habit which is generally considered undesirable. They consist of such people as peeping toms, otaku, flashers and lingerie thieves. They consider Keita to be one of them, to his immense chagrin. Despite their personal quirks, the citizens of the darkness come to the aid of the 'citizens of the light' (just about anyone who isn't one of them) several times against Sekidousai and Jasei. As Kawarazaki has said, without the world of light, there can be no world of darkness.

;Kawarazaki
:Kawarazaki is Keita's senior at school and a dedicated otaku. He pursues Yōko as he wants to use her as a model for a fanzine character, but unfortunately makes the mistake of complimenting her tail for its plumpness and comparing it to a raccoon's. Apparently, Inukami admire ''thin'' tails. He is a cosplay maniac, who enjoys seeing both men and women of any age dressed in "[[Moe (slang)|moe]]" female clothing. Kawarazaki is the first to name and organize the citizens of the darkness in the battle against Sekidōsai. He is a rabid Otaku and as such he sometimes comes off as a pervert or psycho, (such as when he chases Tomohane around the entire city to use her as a model), but his intentions are always good, earning him respect from Keita and Yōko.

;Boss
:A large, muscular man who terms himself a "lingerie artist," but is simply called an underwear thief by most other people. He is quite knowledgeable on various brands and manufacturers of underwear and has received special training so he can remain unobserved while he goes about his 'life's path'. The Boss has on several occasions annoyed Kaoru's inukami by (attempting to) steal their lingerie, but he has also been instrumental in the battle to destroy the robot Xanthippe. Whenever he is seen, the Boss wears trousers, boots ... and lingerie; generally a pair of panties on his head and a bra on his chest. He apparently forms a team with the Peeping Doctor and the Chief Clerk.

;Peeping doctor
:A man dressed in a top hat and dinner suit, who apparently has developed his skills at hiding into the ability to become invisible. While most of the time he uses this power for peeping on women, Kaoru's inukami among them, he also uses it to help Keita during battles against Sekidousai. He has considerable skill in the art of invisibility, as he can sneak past most of Kaoru's inukami, and was able to get close enough to Sekidousai to steal his book, dodge his attacks and escape. The Peeping Doctor claims that he never returns to any place where he has been spotted and affects gentlemanly airs despite his unpleasant hobby. He apparently forms a team with Boss and the Chief Clerk.

;Chief Clerk
:The third member of the team further consisting of the Boss and the Peeping Doctor, the Chief Clerk is a man who usually wears a three-piece suit and much resembles a bespectacled salaryman. The main physical difference between him and any other salaryman is that he constantly goes about tied up in bondage ropes. Another glaring difference is that most salarymen do not, generally speaking, go about begging to be punished; the Chief Clerk is a fervent masochist who constantly begs people to scold and/or punish him and managed to anger Yōko greatly by asking her to break him to her will. In combat, the Chief Clerk's masochistic tendencies sometimes come in use, as even Jasei's skeletal troops seemed to be taken aback by his aggressive solicitation of punishment.

;'''Main antagonists:'''
;Boryoku no Umi (Sea of Violence)
:Boryoku no Umi is a [[Shinigami]], a member of a race of powerful 'death gods/spirits' which, in the inukami setting, behave in a manner often hinting of insanity. A shinigami can do just about anything and will do anything - on a twisted whim. They delight in sowing death and destruction, with Boryoku no Umi being no exception. Boryoku no Umi first appears as the nemesis of the Shindou family, whose last member's guardian contracts Keita and Yōko to protect her. During his battle with Keita, he reveals that he has often granted the wishes of humans for the same price; by contract, he is allowed to murder the family members as they reach adulthood, one by one, until the whole family is dead. In the case of the Shindou family, Boryoku no Umi delighted in fighting any protectors they contracted with their own favored style of combat - and winning, killing all those who would not surrender. In addition to wearing a black shinigami robe, which deflects most ranged attacks, Boryoku no Umi is skilled in a vast array of martial arts and possesses powers of evil magic. Some of his favorite tricks are to awaken a person's deepest fears to paralyze them, or to evoke madness and terror by uttering a deafening shriek. In the end, it turns out a shinigami is not a match for an angered kitsune, however.

;Dai Yōko
:Dai Yōko is, in the words of inukami Hake, ''"A great monster that manipulates the dark side, petrifies his opponents, specializes in fire based spells"'' - namely the ''Jaen'' and ''Dai Jaen'' techniques also used by Yōko, only much more powerful - ''"shakes the universe with a single leap and can do anything with his breath. He is strong and arrogant. When he feels irritated, he will destroy a whole mountain."'' Dai Yōko is an elder kitsune who was sealed under a large stone by the founding patriarch of the Kawahira family and is also the father of Yōko, who he usually addresses as 'my dear daughter' or 'Kawaii (cute) Yōko'. While all the things Hake said about him are true and do not even mention his ability to turn back time within a certain area, Dai Yōko is also a doting father. He is apparently incapable of being angry with his daughter, although she twice aided in sealing him to prevent him from doing damage. A bit of an embarrassing parent, Dai Yōko revealed he has been keeping a picture diary of every moment in his daughter's life, no matter how private. While he is initially dead-set against his daughter being together with Keita, he comes to change his mind, mainly because he is tricked into believing their relationship had already caused Yōko to become pregnant. In past times, Dai Yōko apparently defeated the evil wizard Sekidousai in single combat. The reason he came up against the Kawahira family is that he wanted to conquer their mountain ... so his daughter would have a place to nap.

;{{nihongo|Sekidōsai|赤道際}}
:Sekidousai is a wizard of terrible power, who has managed to live well over 400 years. Of late, he has been forced to go into hiding inside a painting he made when he lost his powers, but he has already made plans to revive himself. Sekidousai is the ancestor of Shirou Karina, who bears a striking resemblance to him. The main external difference is that Sekidousai has a different hairstyle and white-blond hair. The characters of the two men are diametrically opposed; where Karina is a defender of justice and an agent of the law, Sekidousai's main desire is to create a world without restrictions, where all can live according to their very darkest desires. In addition, Sekidousai is a voluntary exhibitionist ...
:During his long life, Sekidousai created several powerful items.
:1) The book which caused the rising of the 'demon' in the first episode of ''Inukami'', which can apparently also reflect attacks made against its bearer.
:2) The mechanical rooster ''[[Socrates]]'', which can change the clothing of people within a certain range to match the strongest desires of a person in its vicinity.
:3) A robot oddly named ''[[Xanthippe]]'', whose main weapon is a drill, set in its groin.
:4) The ''Daisakkai'', which appears to be a kind of magical computer that initially serves to govern the world inside Sekidousai's painting refuge. Later, it manages Sekidousai's stolen energies. Daisakkai's ultimate purpose is to use the energies it receives to grant any single wish.

;Jasei
:Jasei is a wizard who claims to have 'mastered the art of magic'. His human body was destroyed during a magical experiment, but he lives on in a state reminiscent of [[lich]]dom, with a large gem in what would have been his abdomen apparently sustaining his existence on Earth. Jasei powers his unnatural existence by feeding on despair. He is powerful and cunning, willing to concoct schemes which may take years to come to fruition, in order to reap the greatest possible amount of despair for his personal enjoyment. One example of this was his raising and tutoring Kaoru Kawahira to be a good and kind person, after having placed the boy's soul in a counterfeit body, all with the eventual goal of revealing the depth of his own evil, sadism and treachery so Kaoru's heart and spirit would be broken. Jasei is apparently an even more powerful wizard than Sekidousai, as he proved capable of hoodwinking the latter without his even noticing.

==Trivia==
* In episode one, when Keita and Youko go on a date as an undercover couple, there is a statue of a Kappa (a character seen in the later episodes) at the place where Youko was waiting.
* All Inukami fly via wings on their backs. However, they are only visible in the light of a full moon as seen in episode six.
