List of minor allies of Kim Possible

This article is for less prominent allies in the fictional universe of Disney's animated television series "Kim Possible". These characters are officially stated as allies to Kim Possible.

Global Justice

Dr. Betty Director

Betty Director, more commonly known as Dr. Director, is the head of the worldwide espionage organization known as Global Justice (GJ). She is in charge of addressing any threats to the world that fall outside the scope of normal law enforcement groups. However, even an organization with some of the world's finest scientists, weapons and agents requires some help from time to time. And Dr. Director isn't too proud to call in reinforcements if it means the job gets done, which is where Kim Possible comes in. However, being a top secret organization, even asking for help has to be handled in a subversive way, whether it's sucking Kim into a trap door through a series of transport tubes or arranging a phony crime to lure her to a meeting site. She first introduced Kim to Global Justice in a case that led to Kim's first encounter with Duff Killigan. She later called in Kim to assess the phenomenon GJ scientists dubbed "the Ron Factor" (the basic gist being that Ron's chaotic nature was the real reason for Kim's success saving the world and Dr. Director wanted to see if GJ could harness that chaos). She has subsequently stayed behind the scenes for the most part, although Kim has had other dealings with Global Justice, usually in the form of rides to her destinations and backup on missions.

As the head of a global organization, Dr. Director has very little hands-on involvement in GJ's cases, but on the rare occasions when she's had to get her hands dirty (such as when she had to team up with Kim to fight her own twin brother, Gemini), she's proven that she can hold her own in a fight. Dr. Director is bound and determined to bring down Gemini and his organization, WEE (the Worldwide Evil Empire). But rather than a war of two tactical geniuses, their battles are really more reminiscent of a kindergarten slap fight, since their conflict is really nothing more than a case of sibling rivalry run amok. In fact, get the two of them in a room together and even Ron would most likely say that he's more mature than either of them. Dr. Director is instantly recognizable by her eyepatch, reminiscent of the Marvel Comics character, Nick Fury. Gemini wears one too, and his name is another reference to Nick Fury, whose brother became the villain Scorpio. However, it's unclear whether either twin wears it because of an actual eye injury or whether they're just trying to make a fashion statement.

Team Impossible

Dash Demond, Crash Cranstin, and Burn Burmin are the three huge and fearsome members of Team Impossible. They were mentioned in "A Sitch in Time" by Mr. McHenry, who, in need of aid, tried to summon them on their website ( [http://www.impossible.com www.impossible.com] ), but a typo got him Kim Possible's ( [http://www.kimpossible.com www.kimpossible.com] ) instead. They charge anyone they save a lot of money. Eventually, the team tried to stop Kim from saving the world by removing all of Kim's transportation. As a bonus, they unknowingly spiked Wade's computer when he tried to trace them. When Kim and Ron arrived, Team Impossible decided to deal with them personally. Wade managed to convince them to join Global Justice and become non-profit (after a strong threat).

Dash (voiced by Gary Dourdan) appears to be the team leader. He's a survival specialist and is multilingual.

Crash is the team's driver. He's also skilled in emergency medicine.

Burn is the team's accountant. He claims that he crunches a lot more than numbers. After the team became non-profit, Burn aided James Possible in doing his taxes.

Team Impossibles uniforms have a passing resemblance to the X-men's yellow and blue uniforms, especially the ones worn by Cyclops and Cable

Will Du

The #1 agent of Global Justice, Will Du was brought on by Dr. Director to work alongside Kim when she was recruited to rescue a former weapons researcher from Duff Killigan. This was an assignment that Will particularly resented, since he sees world saving as a "professional's" job and didn't appreciate an "amateur" like Kim horning in on what he felt was his racket. This caused Kim no end of grief, since she spent more time fighting with Will than with Killigan himself. However, they eventually managed to find a small amount of synergy, and in the end, were able to stop Killigan from turning the entire world into his own private golf course.

A consummate professional, Will takes his job as an agent of Global Justice very seriously. So seriously, in fact, he doesn't seem to realize it's a job he's not particularly good at.He is well educated and academically competent (as well as having access to all of GJ's best equipment and resources).His name is a pun on the phrase "Will do", which reflects his personality.

Yamanouchi

Yamanouchi (presumably 山ノ内, which roughly translates to "Mountain Agricultural-Land" in Japanese) is a secret ninja school, located on top of a mountain in Japan. It was founded by Toshimiru, a master of Tai Sheng Pek Kwar, better known as Monkey Kung Fu, who carved the school out of the mountain using only a single weapon: a shape-shifting sword called the Lotus Blade. Since its creation in 338 AD, the school has guarded the blade, which can only be used in the hands of one who has been touched by Mystical Monkey Power.Kim Possible, episode 32, Exchange (November 7, 2003)]

This school held a role as an arc during the series, including some of its members.

Master Sensei

The Headmaster of Yamanouchi, Sensei (Voiced by George Takei) is the traditional "wise old master" kind of character. His name can be translated to English as both “Teacher” and Master, making the title redundant. He possesses a wide range of abilities, a product of his many years of training and experience. As a martial artist, he is quite powerful, regardless of his advanced years and small stature. He also seems to possess a wide range of spiritual abilities, such as astral projection and the ability to levitate. But despite these skills, Sensei seems to prefer not involving himself directly in conflicts unless he has to.

Sensei was the one who initially arranged for Ron to be part of the transfer program to Japan, which would bring him to the Yamanouchi, in order to protect the Lotus Blade from Monkey Fist, and was the also the one who secretly arranged the adoption for Ron's new baby sister Hana, so she could be prepared for her eventual showdown with Yono the Destroyer.

Like Yori, Sensei has an unwavering confidence in Ron and his abilities and sees him as a true warrior, although this is a mindset Ron doesn't always share.

Yori

Yori (voiced by Keiko Agena) is a student from the Yamanouchi and a highly skilled ninja. She first appeared in “Exchange” when she was sent to receive Ron and guide him to the Yamanouchi School, and served as a support for him during that episode, developing a strong bond with him. She later reappears in some few future episodes.

Yori is usually calm, even in dangerous situations, and kind to the point of showing more concern for others than herself. As a fighter, she is very reliable (given the fact that, in Japanese, her name means 'reliable'), but has demonstrated a preference to act as a subordinate rather than a leader, and has also shown to value teamwork much more than individuality. She is also very optimistic and believes a lot in her friends.

From her introduction, Yori has appeared as a strong love interest for Ron, winning his interest at first sight and gradually developing feelings for him, which were confirmed as romantics during Yori’s second appearance. However, this relationship was exiled during the series’ fourth season, since Ron had starting dating Kim, and Yori has not expressed any concern about this relationship.

Team Go

A family and team of super-heroes who protect Go City, their names are based on personal pronouns with the "go" added at the end. They originally appeared in the episodes "Go Team Go" during Season 2, and later came back in Season 4 in "Stop Team Go" and "Mathter and Fervent", this last one featuring only Hego. The siblings got their powers after a multi-hued meteorite crashed into their tree house when they were young. They reside in Go Tower, a building that is rather similar in appearance to the one that the Teen Titans (DC Comics) live in. Like Kim, they also have a set or supervillains that they regularly fight, among them there is their arch-foe, Aviarius, and other foes like The Mathter and Electronique.

Though likely coincidental, it is notable that the full Team Go (including Shego) has five members; "Go" is the number five in Japanese.

Hego

Practically the leader of the group, with the "blue glow" and super strength. He is voiced by Christopher McDonald. Hego is the only one of the team with a normal skin tone, but when he isn't disguised as his alter ego (a Bueno Nacho manager with black hair and Clark Kent style glasses), his hair is dark blue. His personality is somewhat a parody of Superman's, being the most overtly "superheroic" but also childishly bossy and take-charge. He has a tendency to make horrible jokes and puns (calling Team Go's team work "Go-operation" and saying "Looks like this bird is ready for his cage" every time he captures Aviarius, for example) and appears quite unable to tell when they fall flat. He sincerely believed that despite her actions, Shego was still a good person, only to be proven wrong when she betrayed and blasted him. It's actually Hego's behavior that seems to make him the one brother that Shego is most annoyed by. In fact, in only five minutes in Hego's presence, Ron was quoted as saying "I'm starting to see why Shego split."

Mego

Next is Mego, with the purple suit, skin, hair, and glow power which gives him the ability to shrink or grow at will. He is voiced by Jere Burns. This is evidently based on the Legion of Super Heroes member Shrinking Violet (yet another DC Comics comparison). However, his name and shrinking ability are more likely a reference to the Mego toy line, considering the identical pronunciation and his ability to shrink to roughly the size of an action figure. It has also been shown that he can grow at will, as well. He possesses a large and easily wounded ego, and is rather defensive of his seemingly-useless power. After the team reunites, he expresses a desire to be the leader. Because of his self-absorbed nature, he seems to have an attitude very similar to Shego's. However, Shego still gets annoyed with his inability to see past his own nose....Mego doesnt really have a strong belief for justice but he does believe that there should be some justice. Also, considering how Mego is self-centered and his power is the ability to shrink, he personifies the saying: "A man all wrapped up in himself makes for a very small package."

The Wego twins

Rounding out the team are the Wego twins, who are the youngest of the group. They are both voiced by Fred Savage. Rather happy-go-lucky, they seemingly take every twist and turn in stride. Because of this (and the way they each finish each other's sentences), they could be looked at as a slightly more mature version of Kim's own brothers, Jim and Tim. They have the red power, and all the color coordination that goes with it, along with the ability to duplicate themselves.

Although unstated, it is not unlikely that the Wego twins are a nod to the many red-headed twins in Robert A. Heinlein's stories, particularly the Stone twins in The Rolling Stones (novel).

hego

No longer a member of Team Go is Shego, Dr. Drakken's henchwoman/bodyguard. She once fought crime with her brothers, but quit and became a criminal partly because she was thoroughly sick of them, and partly because of a growing fascination with villainy. According to Hego, "The more we fought evil, the more she came to like it." As mentioned above, Hego never truly believed she turned to the dark side, but her willingness to keep all her siblings' powers after they were stolen and use them to her own ends would seem to prove him wrong. However, Kim snatched the sceptre that held their powers out of Shego's hands and broke it, restoring each member's powers. Afterward, the teen hero reflected that it seemed a little too easy to do so, implying that perhaps Shego cares more about her family than she admits. When Drakken pointed this out and suggested that she deliberately let Kim defeat her (Shego: "You think I'm going soft?" Drakken: "As a marshmallow."), Shego reacted violently by hanging Drakken outside of the jet. Shego has black hair and wears green.

Felix Renton

More Ron's friend than Kim's, Felix is an easygoing boy who enjoys video games and basketball. The fact that he is paralyzed doesn't stop him from enjoying life, especially since his mom, who is a cybertronic genius at the space center, tricked out his wheelchair. Felix often jokes about his situation, much to Kim's discomfort. In fact, when Felix first arrived, Kim was in a way even more paralyzed than Felix, since she kept trying to think of the most "appropriate" way to behave around him. In the beginning, her efforts were repeatedly met with failure. But inspired by Ron's mellow attitude, and especially discovering that Felix was more than capable of handling life from a wheelchair, she relaxed eventually.

While playing basketball with Felix, Ron has shown to understand his lack of focus as what keeps him from excelling at something. Kim told Ron that he can't win (Ron was "two buckets down" against Felix), but Ron replied that focus was all he needed.

Felix is a good friend, supporting Ron in the two episodes he appeared in, "Motor Ed" and "Steal Wheels". He has helped on those two missions and was essential to their success, his wheelchair's abilities coming in handy. Since both missions involved Motor Ed (who claims that he could've handled Kim the first time had Felix not interfered), the argument could be made that Motor Ed and Felix have somehow become personal enemies to each other.

As of the hour-long episode "Graduation", Felix is dating an ex-girlfriend of Ron's, Zita Flores. He is also the class valedictorian.

Felix is voiced by Jason Marsden.

M.C. Honey

A rapper loosely based on Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, and other lady rappers. She gave Kim a ride in her yacht for retrieving her demo tape when it got stolen in "Hidden Talent". She made reappearances in "Rappin' Drakken" and "Trading Faces" when she was also framed by new villainess Camille Leon.

She is voiced by Sherri Shepherd.

Britina

Britina (voiced by Tara Strong) is a teen pop-music singing sensation, and as such, she has a line of merchandise like her own magazine and dolls. Like most pop divas, she is fodder for the tabloids and has even dated "Oh Boyz!" singer Nicky Nick, but they have since broken up. As her name indicates, Britina is based on real-life pop divas Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, with her hookup and breakup with Nicky Nick being a reminiscent of Spears' to Justin Timberlake.

Kim once helped Britina when her show in Chicago caught on fire, so she, like many others whom Kim has helped, gives her rides to other missions, and is one of the few characters who cover this role and has recurring appearances, such as her return in "Trading Faces", where Kim had to help Britina again when she was arrested on theft charges of which the real responsable was actually Camille Leon.

Nakasumi and Miss Kyoko

Nakasumi was the top toy developer in the world. He was the victim of theft by Drakken and Shego in "Crush". Fortunately, Kim recovered what was stolen, and in return, Nakasumi gave her a ride in "A Very Possible Christmas". Nakasumi made another appearance in "So the Drama", as a major part of the plot.

At first, it seemed that Nakasumi couldn't speak, but understood, English. To avoid using Japanese, the series crew had Nakasumi whisper to Miss Kyoko and she'd translate. In "So the Drama", it was revealed that he could speak English, and just liked whispering to Kyoko.

One of Nakasumi's characters, Z-Boy, made several cameos as toys and posters.

So far, Nakasumi and Miss Kyoko have appeared once in each of the three previous seasons.

In "Crush", Nakasumi's translator introduced herself as Yoshiko, while in "So the Drama", he addressed her as Miss Kyoko. It's unknown which of these is her real first and last name, though some have come to call her Miss Kyoko Yoshiko.

Nakasumi was voiced by Clyde Kusatsu and Miss Kyoko/Yoshiko was voiced by Lauren Tom.
