Oobi (TV Series) - Main Characters

Main Characters

• Oobi- The show's main character, is a young four-year old boy in grade school. Oobi is curious, smart, thoughtful, kind and gentle. Voiced by Timothy Lagasse. As the main character he is in every episode created and has lots of starring roles, though some are occasionally centered on other characters, such as Uma or Kako. Oobi goes to Uma's school but they are in different classrooms (Seen in Uma Preschool). His appearance is pale and has four fingers pointing straight with his thumb under them. His favorite color is green. Oobi's Car is the very first episode where Oobi gets angry or yells.

• Uma - Oobi's three-year old little sister. She loves singing, pretending, and chickens. She turns four in "Uma's Birthday". Her catchphrases are "Nice" and "Pretty". She also says "Tasty-good" when she eats. In the episode Chopsticks, when she tastes the duck sauce, she says "Sweet like Uma!"She is the first main character to not come in every episode. She is seen with toddlers (Mostly when she is not in the episodes). Voiced by Stephanie D'Abruzzo. Her appearance is similar to Oobi's except she's smaller and she has a barrette. Due to Uma's young age, she has trouble pronouncing big words like "asparagus", "instrument", and "amazing". Her favorite color is blue. Sometimes Uma gets so excited she runs right over Oobi. Uma appears to love going the zoo as seen in Neighborhood though she does not appear in Petting Zoo. Uma is the only character who has ever cried in Swing and Sleepover. She comes in lots of episodes but isn't seen with Kako by herself. An interesting note is that when Stephanie D'Abruzzo and Cheryl Blaylock met Uma Thurman (whom the character is named after), the two had Uma take a picture with "Uma." Uma also happens to be the only other character who wears something other than inka.

• Kako - Oobi's four-year old, best friend. Kako is excitable and a bit arrogant. He usually wears a red cap or something red. His catchphrase is "Perfecto," the Spanish word for perfect. He can be seen without a cap in some shorts,Play Ball,and the cooking part of Make Pizza. He is the second main character who does not come in all the episodes such as Chopsticks Nature Walk and Dance though he is shown with toddlers. Voiced by Noel MacNeal. His appearance is brown and similar to Oobi's. His favorite color is orange.

• Grampu - Oobi and Uma's wise and caring (and sometimes a bit unlucky) grandfather. His catch phrase is "Lovely." Voiced by Tyler Bunch. He is the second main character who comes in every episode except "Frieda Friend" and "Bubble Bath". His appearance is that he has all four-fingers curled up with his thumb over the middle finger. He has many female friends; in the episode "Theater!," he is visibly nervous when surrounded by several adult women in the audience (notably minus Inka). His favorite color is blue-green. In the episode "Piano Lesson", we see that Grampu is attracted to Inka, and he goes on to date her in several later episodes. Such as the episode, "Babysitter!", Grampu and Inka goes to a dance (which really is a date. Grampu and Inka do not kiss. But in the episode "Chez Oobi, they were eating a piece of spaghetti noodle and they almost kiss, but they were interrupted by Oobi and Kako.)
