Characters
Leading roles
Sensei Rudy Gillespie ( Jason Earles ) was once one of the best in amateur martial arts whose career was thrown off course by an injury. With all his savings, he founded the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy , which is soon threatened with closure, which he and the children can prevent. He later starts a relationship with the teacher Ms. Applebottom. In the fourth season he opens a new dojo. At the end of the fourth season, he is offered a place at the Otai Academie as Sensei, but he refuses.
Jack Brewer (Leo Howard) is the new guy in town and a seasoned martial artist and skateboarder. He learned karate from his grandfather, who also trained Bobby Wasabi for his films. Jack is the best and most experienced fighter in the dojo, but always remains loyal to his friends, even when he briefly competes for the Black Dragons. It is repeatedly suggested that he has feelings for Kim, and he eventually asks her out on a date in the episode Kickin 'It On Our Own (2x22). In the episode Wasabi forever they kiss for the first time and again in the episode Seaford Hustle .
Kim Crawford ( Olivia Holt ) is the only girl in the dojo. She previously belonged to the Black Dragons, but changed dojo when she found out that they were cheating.

She leaves the dojo after the third season to study at the Otai Academy, but returns in the penultimate episode.
