The Fuccons - Major Characters

Major Characters

• Mikey Fuccon - Kind-hearted, impressionable, and somewhat dim-witted, Mikey is the focus of the series. Often put upon by others, he usually seems to address his problems with a smile.
• James and Barbara Fuccon - Mikey's parents. Both American, they met in Japan while James was working as a caretaker and Barbara had an office job -- apparently for the same company. One episode reveals they married after she became pregnant with Mikey, after which they returned to the United States, only to return later when James was transferred to an unspecified job with a Japanese firm; Barbara no longer appears to have a career but has become a stereotypical housewife. The two appear to have a strained relationship at times, and the Anniversary episode reveals that Barbara once caught James in bed with another woman. Several episodes, however, show James hurrying home (almost instantly) in order to help his wife with some dilemma. As the series progresses, James becomes more of a self-centered womanizer (with eyes for everyone from Mikey's tutor to Emily's mom) while Barbara becomes quicker to anger and more paranoid about potentially being replaced. The couple often give contradictory life lessons to their son, and in "Rags to Riches" actually kick Mikey out of the house and consider allowing the Blueberry King, a visiting dignitary, to adopt him.
• Laura - Mikey's cousin, who acts like an adult trapped in a child's body. Perpetually bored and frustrated with being a kid, she is madly in love with Mikey (despite being a close relative), but alternates between being protective of him and being manipulative, continually threatening to leave Japan and return to America. In other episodes she is seen trying to mould Emily into her own image.
• Emily - Mikey's girlfriend, who is learning the ways of manipulation from Laura. Her mother was James' first girlfriend.
• Brown - Emily's older brother, a fledgling filmmaker who has a crush on Barbara Fuccon. He is shown aiding Laura in her schemes to win Mikey's heart (or toy with him, as the case may be).
• Teacher Bob and Bob-Mama - Rarely seen away from his mother, Bob is Mikey's schoolteacher at the American school, who is so shy that he usually only communicates by whispering to his domineering mother (known as Bob-Mama) who interprets. They often get into arguments and Bob-Mama occasionally tries to play match-maker for her son.
• Tony and Charles, The Twins - a pair of British students who continually contradict each other and who often come across as rude to the point where Mikey eventually wants nothing to do with them. Their mother occasionally appears alongside her twin sister, with whom she has a similarly contradictory relationship.
• Princess Isabella of the Blueberry Kingdom - a rich girl from a faraway land who is featured in a story arc in which Mikey becomes engaged to marry her after the Blueberry King tries to adopt him by paying James and Barbara a large sum of money.
• The Kawakitas - the antithesis of the Fuccons, the Kawakitas are a Japanese family (husband, wife, and one son) who used to be successful in the restaurant business, but now the father is unemployed and both parents are alcoholic and perpetually lazy, prone to forget things like their son's birthday. The Kawakita episodes are more serious in tone than most Oh! Mikey episodes and the regular cast of characters do not appear.
• Time Boy - a classmate of Mikey's who is obsessed with keeping to a schedule.
• Tracy - Mikey's sexy 20-something private tutor, who is more interested in teaching Mikey "the lesson of love" than his ABCs.
