There could also be a love interest. A female character who sees beyond Kung Fu Man's fighting abilities and into his heart. Their relationship could add an emotional depth to the story, as Kung Fu Man has to balance his love life with his duties as a martial artist.
The main characters are Po, the kung fu panda. And then there's the evil peacock Shen, and of course Po's friends like Tigress, Monkey, Crane, Viper, and Mantis.
In 'Kung Fu Panda: Tales of the Dragon Warrior', Po is the main character. He starts as an unlikely hero and through his journey in learning kung fu, he becomes a great warrior. In other more traditional - themed 'kung fu graphic novels', there might be a young disciple as the main character. This disciple is usually on a quest to master kung fu, facing tough masters, rivals, and villains along the way, all while trying to uphold the values of kung fu such as respect and self - discipline.
The main characters are Po, the Kung Fu Panda. Then there's Lord Shen, the peacock villain. Also, Po's friends like Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane who are all part of the Kung Fu team.
For the main characters, it could be Po and a human detective. The detective is investigating some strange disappearances in the city that are actually caused by a group of out - of - control kung fu students. Po gets involved because he senses the misuse of kung fu. The detective at first doesn't believe in Po's abilities but as they work together, he realizes that Po's kung fu knowledge and skills are real. They form an unlikely partnership to stop the kung fu students and also to bridge the gap between the panda world and the human world.
There could be a wise old master who serves as a mentor to the protagonist. This master would have in - depth knowledge of kung fu and would guide the younger character through the challenges of the kung fu world. There might also be an antagonist, perhaps a power - hungry martial artist who wants to dominate the kung fu world and is in conflict with the protagonist.
Po is the main character. And there are also the Furious Five.
There might be a snow leopard with the ability to blend into the snow. This character could start as an enemy but later become an ally to Po.
The villainous characters like Tai Lung or Shen can also be great focuses. You can write about their backstories, what led them to become the antagonists they are. For example, a fanfiction that shows a different side of Shen, perhaps a more sympathetic side before he turned evil.
One possible main character could be a female panda who has been secretly training in the ways of the 'Ladies of the Shade'. She might be an outcast among the regular pandas because of her association with this secret group. Another could be an older female tiger who is a mentor to the younger members of the 'Ladies of the Shade' and has a special connection to the 'lemon' element, whatever it may be in the context of the story.
Obviously, Po would be a main character. He is the star of Kung Fu Panda. But if it's a crossover with, say, 'The Lion King', Simba could also be a main character. Their different leadership styles would make for an interesting story as they face challenges together.
