List of Kung Fu Panda characters

The following is a list of characters from the DreamWorks animated film media franchise Kung Fu Panda. The franchise includes four films (Kung Fu Panda, Kung Fu Panda 2, Kung Fu Panda 3, and Kung Fu Panda 4), a series of shorts and television specials, three television shows (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny and Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight), a series of digital comics, and multiple video games.
Master Ping Xiao Po (voiced by Jack Black in the films, TV specials and The Dragon Knight, by Mick Wingert in TV series, and by Eric Loomis in the games) is the main protagonist of the Kung Fu Panda franchise. A kung fu fan and giant panda working at his adoptive father's noodle restaurant, Po is chosen by Grand Master Oogway as the legendary Dragon Warrior, a decision that angers Shifu and the Furious Five. When Tai Lung escapes from prison, Shifu uses food to motivate Po into mastering kung fu. He battles Tai Lung in combat, defeats him using the legendary Wuxi Finger Hold technique, and is declared a master.
In Kung Fu Panda 2, Po learns that he was adopted by Ping as a baby (voiced by Liam Knight) after Lord Shen committed a massacre against the giant pandas. The end of the film reveals that Po's biological father Li Shan is still alive, and he reunites with his son in Kung Fu Panda 3. When the undead warrior General Kai steals the chi of the other kung fu masters, Po and Li create an army from the remaining giant pandas. After destroying Kai, Po has a spiritual reunion with Oogway, who informs Po that his journey as the Dragon Warrior has come full circle. He returns to the mortal world with his extended family. Kung Fu Panda 4 sees Po having to choose a new Dragon Warrior to take his place, as he is to ascend to his new spot as the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Po struggles with the choice, as he is afraid of giving the Dragon Warrior title away. On his quest to defeat the Chameleon, Po befriends a thief named Zhen, who initially works for the Chameleon, but her friendship with Po causes her to defect. Seeing her change her ways inspires Po to finally accept that things change, and in the end he accepts his new post, and chooses Zhen as his successor.
Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, which occurs between the first and second film, shows Po's greater development as a kung fu warrior and master after defeating Tai Lung, while the follow-up series, Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny, takes place after the events of the third film and shows Po in a mentor role to four young pandas. Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight, also takes place after the events of the third film and shows Po in a journey to protect four legendary and powerful weapons from two English weasel magicians who intend to use them to take over the world. Po also appears in all short films and specials, as well as the video games.
Master Shifu (voiced by Dustin Hoffman in the films and TV specials, and Fred Tatasciore in the TV series and video games) is a red panda, the headmaster of the Jade Palace, and the trainer of the Furious Five. He joined the palace when his father, the con artist Shirong, abandoned him there. Later in life, Shifu adopted Tai Lung, and he did not acknowledge his own role in the snow leopard's turn to evil until after Po was deemed the Dragon Warrior. Although Shifu initially doubts Po's potential in kung fu, he later trains Po to help him defeat Tai Lung and become a kung fu master.
After Tai Lung's defeat, Shifu becomes a more relaxed master to Po and the Five. By the time of the third film, he has retired from active teaching in order to focus on learning how to use chi, and he passes on the instructor mantle to Po. When Kai attacks the Jade Palace, Shifu is turned into a jade soldier and a member of Kai's army, but he is returned to normal when Po destroys Kai in the Spirit Realm. In the fourth film, Shifu tells Po that he will become the spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace. In the ending, he helps Po and the Furious Five train Zhen for the next Dragon Warrior, despite his reservations about her past.
Zhen (voiced by Awkwafina) is a corsac fox and thief in Juniper City. Initially raised by a band of thieves, Zhen was eventually taken in by the Chameleon after she took over the city, as she saw the potential in her. The next years Zhen stole things for her master, which made her the enemy of most people in the city. One day she is sent to the Jade Palace to attempt to steal the Staff of Wisdom, but is trapped by Po. As she is locked up, she overhears of Tai Lung's apparent return and tells Po that the attacker is not his old nemesis, but the Chameleon. After negotiating with Po, he agrees to take her with him to Juniper City so he can defeat the Chameleon. During their trip however, she and Po become close friends, as he becomes the first genuine friend she has, and believes she can change. Eventually Zhen betrays Po by getting the staff and giving it to the Chameleon, but quickly regrets it and is devastated when he is apparently killed. Zhen then discovers that the Chameleon never cared for her, and would get rid of her as soon as she stopped being useful. After seeing her bring back Tai Lung and other deceased masters to get their chi, Zhen finally defects fully from the Chameleon. She attempts to stop Po from fighting her, but when it is clear that he will not stop, she, alongside Mr. Ping and Li Shan, recruits the thief band that raised her so they can distract the guards so she can get to Po in time. Zhen arrives just in time to help an overwhelmed Po. The Chameleon, angered by her betrayal, transforms into a beast with all the kung fu masters' skills, and a Po clone to fight the duo; Zhen decided to stand back while Po fights his clone alone, but he is apparently trapped in a cage, so Po gives Zhen his staff so she can defeat the Chameleon. This time Zhen keeps her loyalty and uses the techniques Po taught her to stun the Chameleon. Po soon reveals he was never trapped and was just testing Zhen's heart, before he delivers the final blow towards the Chameleon with the technique. After the past villains give Po their respect, Zhen watches as Tai Lung takes her old master to the Spirit Realm with him. The Chameleon pleads for her help, but she dismisses her and watches her get trapped in the realm. She Po, and his fathers return to the Valley of Peace, where she intends to serve her time before starting a new life. To her surprise, Po instead chooses her to be his successor as the Dragon Warrior, and begins training her alongside the Furious Five.
Grand Master Oogway (voiced by Randall Duk Kim in the Kung Fu Panda and Kung Fu Panda 3, silent cameo in Kung Fu Panda 2, television specials, and Legends of Awesomeness, Greg Baldwin in the video games, and Piotr Michael in The Paws of Destiny), was an elderly Galápagos Tortoise, the senior headmaster of the Jade Palace before Shifu, and the creator of kung fu. Highly venerated for his wisdom, knowledge, and experience, Oogway was considered by many to be a sage. He was known as the greatest kung fu master in history, with no other reputation surpassing his. In the first film, he is the one to choose Po as the Dragon Warrior, much to everyone's surprise, and his warmth and acceptance of Po serve as a foil to the strict and abrasive Shifu. He dies and ascends to the Spirit Realm in the first film, but appears in the DreamWorks intro taking Moonboy's Spot on The DreamWorks logo sitting on the crescent moon where Moonboy usually sits before the title card for the film appears again in flashback cameos in the second film.
In the third film, while meditating in the Spirit Realm, Oogway is attacked by his former friend, Kai, who steals his chi and escapes the realm. After Po defeats Kai, he meets Oogway in the Spirit Realm, where Oogway explains to Po that on the first day they met, he saw both the future of kung fu in Po, as well as the past. He sensed that Po would be the one to unite them both and become his true successor. He then presents Po with his staff, to which he was hesitant to accept, before Po returns to the mortal realm.
The most skilled warriors in China, they are homages to the Five Animals Southern styles of Chinese martial arts: crane, viper, monkey, mantis, and tiger. While the Five initially dismissed Po as the Dragon Warrior, they grow to respect his courage and tenacity. In the Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness episode "Owl Be Back", it is revealed that a previous incarnation of the Five existed, made up of Shifu, Fenghuang, Master Rooster, Master Snow Leopard, and Master Elephant.
Master Tigress (voiced by Angelina Jolie in the films and Kari Wahlgren in Legends of Awesomeness, silent cameo in end credits of Kung Fu Panda 4) is a female South China tiger and the leader of the Furious Five. She was initially the most resentful of Po when he was chosen to be the Dragon Warrior instead of her, and the most vocal in her contempt. When Tigress overheard Po telling Shifu that he would never be able to defeat Tai Lung, Tigress took it upon herself to intercept the leopard, and managed to counter most of his attacks. When Po defeats Tai Lung, Tigress is very impressed, and the first to acknowledge him as a master of kung fu. As the film series progresses, Tigress grows closest to Po among his friends in the Jade Palace.
Tigress' backstory is largely revealed in a series of television specials. In Secrets of the Furious Five, it is revealed that she was an orphan living in the Bao Gu Orphanage, feared by the other children for her temper, and she taught herself control by learning to play dominoes. She was adopted by Shifu, and in Secrets of the Scroll, it is revealed that Shifu disapproved of her aggression and strength, wanting her to emphasize his control and precision. Oogway, on the contrary, encouraged Tigress to grow into her own.
Master Viper (voiced by Lucy Liu in the films and short-films, Legends of Awesomeness, silent cameo in end credits of Kung Fu Panda 4) is a female green tree viper with two small lotus flowers on top of her head. Although she was born with ineffective venomous fangs, she compensates with her strength and precision. Viper is the most outwardly compassionate and maternal member of the Five, and is the only one not to mock Po when he first joins the Jade Palace.
In Secrets of the Furious Five, she is revealed to be the daughter of Great Master Viper, who relied on his venomous fangs to protect the village where they lived. The Great Master hoped that his daughter would carry on his legacy, and was distraught at her lack of fangs. Viper instead took up ribbon dancing at a young age, and showed a proficiency for it. When a gorilla bandit came to the Autumn Moon Festival and shattered the Great Master's fangs using venom-proof armor, Viper used her dancing to tie the bandit up in her ribbon. Only then was her father satisfied with his daughter becoming a warrior on her own terms.
Master Monkey (voiced by Jackie Chan in the films, and James Sie in Legends of Awesomeness, silent cameo in end credits of Kung Fu Panda 4) is a male golden snub-nosed monkey with a thick Chinese accent, and the most humorous of the Five. He was the first to recognize Po's determination, and the first to refer to Po by his name. Unlike the other members of the Five, Monkey prefers to use a weapon in combat, and the staff that he uses is associated with the legendary Monkey King Sun Wukong. He is also the second-in-command of the Furious Five.
Monkey has an older brother, Wu Kong, who is the self-proclaimed "King of Thieves", and their mother died from shock and grief of seeing her sons fight. Nevertheless, Monkey was an adolescent trickster, who humiliated the members of his village with pranks. Oogway put an end to Monkey's trickery, using his shell to hide from his attacks, and the tortoise encouraged Monkey to use his skills for good, putting him on the path to kung fu mastery.
Master Mantis (voiced by Seth Rogen in films and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, and Max Koch in Legends of Awesomeness) is a male Chinese mantis and the smallest of the Five. He is, however, the strongest proportional to his size, and can move at superhuman speeds. When Po's girth was cited as a reason why he could not be a kung fu master, Mantis was the first to declare that size did little to define a warrior, and that it could be used to one's advantage. In the fourth film, he is mentioned to be in a relationship and has avoided being eaten by his partner as part of the courtship ritual.
Master Crane (voiced by David Cross in the films and Amir Talai in Legends of Awesomeness, silent cameo in end credits of Kung Fu Panda 4) is a male black-necked crane and the most patient of the Five. He serves as a scout and lookout in combat situations, as well as a means of transport for the other members of the Five. Should any of the Five fall from a great height, Crane will appear to break their fall.
Before joining the Five, Crane was the janitor at the Lee Da Kung Fu Academy, where he was looked down upon due to his slender build. However, Mei Ling, the top student, saw the skills that Crane used when cleaning the academy, and convinced him to try out for the school. While his nerve got the better of him at first, Crane soon gained the confidence to pass the obstacle course and gain admission into the academy. Between the events of the third and fourth films, Crane was crowned the king of the crocodilians.
A series of kung fu masters appear in the franchise, many of which only appear in passing within the TV show or comics.
The Masters' Council are the protectors of the metropolis of Gongmen City. They are a group of renowned Kung Fu Masters who governed the city after the parents of Lord Shen had passed on.
Tai Lung (voiced by Ian McShane in the films and André Sogliuzzo in the television series) is a muscular snow leopard and the main antagonist of Kung Fu Panda. He has supernatural strength, with an incredibly prideful and ruthless attitude towards any kung fu practitioner. Shifu's adopted son that he cared for dearly, Tai Lung was the only student to be taught the Nerve Attack, and he believed that his destiny was to become the Dragon Warrior. When Oogway sensed the darkness in Tai Lung's heart and refused to give him the scroll that would allow him to claim the title, he felt betrayed and laid siege to the city in fury and then overwhelmed Shifu in combat to try to claim the scroll, only to be finally defeated at the hands of Master Oogway. Afterwards, Tai Lung was sent to Chorh-Gom Prison as a result of his actions, remaining imprisoned for twenty years.
When Zeng arrives at the prison to order an increase in security, Tai Lung uses one of the goose's fallen feathers to pick the locks on his restraints and escape. He defeats the Furious Five in battle and storms the Jade Palace in search of the Dragon Scroll. In his hunt for the scroll, he overpowers Shifu and nearly kills him in spite of temporarily having a moment of clarity, but Po lures him away with the dragon scroll, sparking a brutal confrontation between them. After Po is momentarily stunned, he finally sees the Scroll, but does not understand the symbolism of its blank, reflective surface (there is no secret to ultimate power, it all depends in the person who has it), even after Po points it out to him, leading to a final fight against Po, but in spite of his skill and power, he's defeated by Po who is immune to the Nerve attack and Po overwhelming him with improvised attacks. Po utilizes the Wuxi Finger Hold on him, obliterating Tai Lung. Tai Lung's defeat marks Po as a Kung fu warrior. In Kung Fu Panda 3, it's explained that the Finger Hold instantly exiles its victim by sending it to the Spirit Realm, indicating that Tai Lung resides there.
Tai Lung returns in Kung Fu Panda 4, where he returns from his exile. After the Chameleon steals Po's wisdom staff, she uses it to open a gate to the spirit realm and calls for Tai Lung. Tai Lung is surprised to hear she bested Po, as while he thinks he is a fool, he would never give away Oogway's staff. Tai Lung successfully battles the Chameleon's henchmen but is surprised attacked by her and gets his Kung fu stolen. He is then locked in a cage while the Chameleon summons other masters. Tai Lung later reunites with Po and scolds him for losing the staff, saying Oogway made a mistake choosing him as Dragon Warrior. Tai Lung watches the battle between Po, Zhen, and the Chameleon, and even cheers for Po at a moment. After the Chameleon is finally defeated and Tai Lung gets his skills back, he confronts Po and tells him that he can finally see why Oogway chose him, admiring how much Po has grown. Tai Lung then bows in respect and asks Po to take him and the others back to the Spirit Realm. He grabs the Chameleon and takes her with him to the Spirit Realm. Before he departs, Tai Lung finally acknowledges Po as the Dragon Warrior.
Tai Lung's name is Cantonese for "Great Dragon" (大龍 daai6 lung4), which was inspired by that of the protagonist from T'ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger (a game developed by DreamWorks Interactive before the release of the first film), whose name is a play on another Cantonese vocabulary containing a similar meaning.
Lord Shen (voiced by Gary Oldman, silent role in Kung Fu Panda 4) is a leucistic Indian peacock and the main antagonist of Kung Fu Panda 2. He was originally a prince of Gongmen City who became interested in gunpowder, wondering if it could be used for warfare. His parents, worried by his obsession, visited the Soothsayer, who told them that if he continued too far down this path, he would be stopped by "a warrior of black and white". Shen, eavesdropping on this conversation, deduces that the warrior in question would be a panda, and led his wolf guards into a massacre against the giant panda population to avert the prophecy, which resulted Po's mother supposedly dying and Po being sent to Mr. Ping. He was subsequently disowned by his parents and exiled from the family palace. Feeling resentful over his exile, Shen is obsessed with taking over China with his gunpowder based weapons.
Thirty years later, Shen returns to Gongmen City with an arsenal of cannons. He summons the Masters' Council to a duel, where he defeats Storming Ox and Croc, and kills Thundering Rhino with a cannonball shot. He initially thinks Po a simpleton and not the warrior of prophecy, but comes to fear him as he displays his skills and attempts to kill him with a cannon blast to avoid his prophesized defeat. Po returns, having been nursed back to health by the Soothsayer and having achieved inner peace, and redirects the onslaught of cannonballs fired at him, destroying Shen's fleet. In spite of Po's attempts to convince him to let go of the past and find peace, Shen rejects this and attacks him with cold weapons. When the resulting melee cuts the ropes keeping the cannon wreckage from falling, Shen decides not to move out of the way and is crushed to death by the weapon while Po narrowly escapes the resulting explosion.
Lord Shen appears in Kung Fu Panda 4, but only in a silent role. He is brought back from the Spirt Realm by the Chameleon. After Po defeats the Chameleon, Shen gets his skills back and returns to the Spirit Realm.
The one-eyed Wolf Boss (voiced by Danny McBride in Kung Fu Panda 2) is an unnamed wolf who is the leader of Lord Shen's wolf army. He's essentially his second-in-command. He is ultimately stabbed by Shen with his feather-blades because he refused to fire against his own men with the cannons in a desperate attempt to slay Po.
General Kai, or simply Kai (voiced by J. K. Simmons, silent role in Kung Fu Panda 4), is a zebu and the main antagonist of Kung Fu Panda 3. He was originally a friend and brother-in-arms to Grand Master Oogway, and was taught how to use chi by the pandas of the Secret Panda Village. Kai became power-hungry with the knowledge, and learned how to take chi from others, forcing Oogway to send him to the Spirit Realm. Kai spent the next five hundred years collecting the chi of every kung fu master who ended up in the Spirit Realm after dying before challenging Oogway to a duel, successfully overpowering him and absorbing his chi, allowing him to come back to the world of the living. As soon as he escapes he uses the stolen chi to create jade warriors (jombies) and rampage the land, seeking to erase all of Oogway's accomplishments out of resentment for being nearly forgotten by history for his treachery.
Kai and his jade warriors begin assaulting the Earth upon their arrival and begins stealing the chi of the living kung fu masters, including Master Shifu and all members of the Furious Five expect Tigress, who escapes to warn Po of his coming. When Kai and his "Jombies" reach the Secret Panda Village, Po attempts to use the Wuxi Finger Hold on him, but it does not work on a spirit warrior. Po instead uses the move on himself to bring both of them back to the Spirit Realm and halt his rampage. While he temporarily gains the upper hand against Po and almost absorbs him, he is soon overpowered when Po is empowered with the Chi of the inhabitants of the panda village along with Tigress and Mr. Ping to transform into Dragon Warrior chi. Ultimately, Po overloads Kai with chi, defeating him and freeing all the masters whose chi he had stolen.
Kai appears in a non-speaking role in Kung Fu Panda 4, in which he is brought back from the Sprit Realm by the Chameleon. After Po defeats the Chameleon. Kai gets his skills back and returns to the Spirit Realm.
The Chameleon (voiced by Viola Davis) is a veiled chameleon and the main antagonist of Kung Fu Panda 4. She is a sorceress who has the ability to change her appearance to look like anyone she pleases.
The Chameleon first appears in the beginning of the movie disguised as Tai Lung and scaring workers at a mine. She is later revealed to be the effective ruler of Juniper City, oppressing the local crime bosses and demanding hefty tributes from them to finance an army to conquer the entire region, up to the Valley of Peace. She sends her protegee, Zhen, to acquire Po's Staff of Wisdom. Zhen lures Po to Juniper City, where he loses the staff to The Chameleon, which she uses to summon various kung-fu masters from the spirit realm, including Tai Lung, Shen and Kai, absorb their chi and kung-fu skills, and lock them in cages. After Po fights her with the help of a reformed Zhen and defeats her, he uses the Staff to return all the trapped masters their chi. He then sent them off to the Spirit Realm, with Tai Lung grabbing her and taking her along with him.
In the early drafts of Kung Fu Panda 4, The Chameleon was depicted to be a human character known as "The Collector". However, for unknown reasons, this idea was scrapped.
Su Wu, Wing Wu, and Wan Wu (voiced by Sumalee Montano in Secrets of the Masters) are a trio of snow leopard sisters appearing in Secrets of the Masters. Once the sisters escaped prison, where they were kept for a series of crimes, they set out to unite the various crime families of China, which prompted Oogway to form an alliance with Thundering Rhino, Storming Ox, and Croc in order to defeat them. The Wu sisters also appear as an enemy team in Kung Fu Panda: The Game, and as minions of Tai Lung in Legendary Warriors.
Boar (voiced by Jayden Lund) is an unnamed boar and the main antagonist of Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll. A renowned warrior, Shifu intended to stop him, but was bedridden due to accidental food poisoning, and Tigress went in his place. When mimicking Shifu's style of combat, Tigress initially faltered, but when the rest of the Five came to her aid, Tigress abandoned Shifu's kung fu style in favor of her own, and managed to defeat him. Boar's attack and subsequent defeat inspired the creation of the Furious Five, and the story of their triumph sparked Po's love of kung fu.
Mr. Ping (voiced by James Hong) is a Chinese goose and the owner of the most popular noodle shop in the Valley of Peace. He adopted Po when he found a baby panda in one of the shop's radish crate deliveries. Ping worries about Po, especially in his continued development as a kung fu master, but is the one to tell him that things are special if someone believes them to be.
Po and Mr. Ping's relationship becomes strained when Po learns that his biological father, Li Shan, is still alive, but he comes to realize that having Li Shan in Po's life does not mean less for him, but more for Po.
In the fourth film, Mr. Ping is currently good friends with Li, and opens a new restaurant with him. When they hear Po has gone to face the Chameleon, the duo travels to help their son out, reaching him just in time after he is thrown off a cliff. Later, Mr. Ping and Li join Han's thief gang distract the Chameleon's guards so Zhen can get to Po in time to help him stop the Chameleon. Mr. Ping later returns to the Valley Of Peace with Po, Zhen, and Li.
James Hong is the only voice actor to reprise his role as Mr. Ping in the films, television series, and video games.
Li Shan (voiced by Fred Tatasciore in Kung Fu Panda 2, Bryan Cranston in Kung Fu Panda 3 and Kung Fu Panda 4 and Christopher Swindle in The Paws of Destiny) is a giant panda, and the biological father of Po. He was separated from his son when Lord Shen's wolf army attacked their village, and was presumed dead with the other pandas. At the end of Kung Fu Panda 2, he is revealed to be alive and hiding in a secret refuge.
In the third film, Li and Po reunite, and Li convinces his son to stay with the other pandas. He lies about knowing chi in order to prevent Po from leaving, but when Kai turns most of the masters into jade warriors, Li is part of the panda army that resists.
In the fourth film, Li is currently good friends with Mr. Ping, and opens a new restaurant with him. When they hear Po has gone to face the Chameleon, the duo travels to help their son out, reaching him just in time after he is thrown off a cliff. Later, Mr. Ping and him join Han's thief gang distract the Chameleon's guards so Zhen can get to Po in time to help him stop the Chameleon. Li later returns to the Valley Of Peace with Po, Zhen, and Mr. Ping.
Shirong (voiced by Malcolm McDowell) is a red panda and the father of Master Shifu. A con artist by trade, Shirong used his son as a shill before abandoning him at the Jade Palace. In the Legends of Awesomeness episode "Father Crime", Shirong stages a kidnapping in order to reconnect with his son, but Shifu is captured by Tong Fo in the process. Shirong, along with Po and Tigress, helps to free his son, and they end on good terms.
Zeng (voiced by Dan Fogler) is a swan goose and a messenger of Master Shifu. Ironically, while he is given the mission to double the amount of guards at Chorh-Gom Prison and prevent Tai Lung's escape, Tai Lung uses one of Zeng's fallen feathers to pick the lock on his restraints and escape. Zeng is spared in the resulting prison break, but is forced to return to the valley and herald Tai Lung's escape. He has not been seen after that since. His role in the film is a reflection of Oogway's proverb that "one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it".
Commander Vachir (voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan) is a Javan rhinoceros, the chief of security at Chorh-Gom Prison, and the leader of the Anvil of Heaven, an army of elite battle rhinos. Prior to Tai Lung's incarceration, the Anvil opposed tyranny and injustice throughout China. Vachir was tasked with the construction of the prison, and personally oversaw Tai Lung's imprisonment for twenty years. When Tai Lung made his escape, Vachir was caught in an explosion with many of his troops and his prosthetic ruby horn-shaped cap is seen amongst the ruins, though it is unknown if he was killed.
Wo Hop (voiced by Jack McBrayer) is a rabbit and a renowned chef who auditioned for the honor to cook for the Kung Fu Masters Winter Festival banquet. Po, unfamiliar with the intricate customs of the selection process, inadvertently disgraced Wo Hop while waving to Monkey, and the chef became desperate to redeem himself through his own death. Po contained the rabbit and helped him complete a meal for the banquet. After the meal was complete, Po presented Hop with the Golden Ladle, the intended honor for the official cook of the feast, which restored Wo Hop's honor.
The Soothsayer (voiced by Michelle Yeoh) is an elderly goat and Shen's former nanny, who foretold the peacock's doom. She tries to advise Shen to stop his violent crusade to no avail.

Peng (voiced by Danny Cooksey) is a snow leopard and the nephew of Tai Lung. He leaves his life as an assistant potter to become a self-taught prodigy in the martial arts, which brings him to the Jade Palace. Peng shows a great aptitude for the martial arts, but needs help reining in his temper. Po reveals to Peng the kind of character Tai Lung was in order to stop the leopard from avenging his uncle. He later creates a Kung Fu Fight Club, teaching citizens how to defend themselves.
Song (voiced by Lauren Tom) is a young snow leopard and a member of the Ladies of the Shade, a group of bandits who distract their marks with parasol dancing. Su, the leader of the Ladies, tasks Song with charming Po into allowing the gang to enter the Jade Palace. As she talks to him, Song begins to like Po, and is about to tell him the truth of her origin when Su arrives and asks if the ladies can spend the night in the Palace. When the Ladies abscond with the dragon chalice, Po follows them to their campsite, and rejects Song's apology. Nevertheless, when Su and the other Ladies find Po, Song protects him, and she becomes the leader of the group after Su's defeat.
