Other Characters

• Inka; – Oobi's piano teacher and Grampu's love interest. Her catchphrase is "Beautiful". She always seems to be wearing jewelry, unlike any of the other characters, and has apparently never met Uma (Stephanie D'Abruzzo plays both roles). Her first episode was "Recital!". She has also came in "Chez Oobi!" and "Piano Lesson!". "Piano Lesson!" is one of her starring roles. Her appearance is similar to Grampu's, but her fingers are curled up high. She talks in an accent like Bella and like Grampu has possibly been to St.Louis due to her comments on it.

• Angus; – Friend of Oobi, Uma and Kako with a nervous demeanor and a bad case of stage fright. His eyes are underneath his hand instead of on top. He was seen in the episodes "Parade!", "Recital!" and "Theater!". In "Theater!", his stage fright is apparently gone. Angus also comes in the Halloween episode but does not show any signs of being scared or nervous because he tells Uma, Oobi, Kako, and Grampu to trick-or-treat at Mrs. Johnson's house because she gives out raisins. His slogan is gulping every time something's going to happen to him, as shown in the episode "Recital!".

• Ms. Johnson; – One of Oobi's neighbors. She owns a cat (named Kitty) and has one of the best-decorated houses on Halloween. She appears in the episodes "Superheroes!", "Theater!", "Parade!" and "Halloween!". Her appearance is that she is a fist with blue eyes, glasses, gray hair, and a red gown. She is one of the only other characters whose house is showm other than Kako's an Oobi's houses.

• Maestru; – Director of the singing group at the community center, and the "Little Red" play in the park. His index finger is always pointing upward, resembling a baton. He shows up on the episodes "Theater!" and "Sing!". "Sing!" is one of his starring roles besides Oobi and Kako. His name is a pun on the word "Maestro". His catchphrase is "Excelente", the Spanish term for "excellent". He is a kind but strict man.

• Ray and Mimi - Other members of the singing group; their names are a pun on the Do-Re-Mi song. So far they only came in "Sing!". Their appearances are like Oobi's, but Mimi has brown hair and is left-handed and Ray wears glasses and has a little bit of goldish-brown hair. They often strive to be on Maestru's good side.

(NOTE: In the YouTube video series and Oobi spin-off "Oobi at Work", Oobi mentions a friend of him named Taro after mistaking a pink-and-yellow-eyed hand puppet for Taro.)Oobi has never yet met Taro or Fred because Taro is played by Oobi's puppeteer and so is Kako's.

• Bella; – Grampu's friend, a greengrocer who appeared in "Shopping!". She was also seen in "Theater!". She's a brown fist with her thumb under all her fingers.
