List of Kickin' It characters

Jack

Jack Brewer (Leo Howard) is the new kid in town, whose foremost hobbies are martial arts and skateboarding. He learned karate from his grandfather, who also trained Bobby Wasabi for the latter's movies. Jack is loyal to his friends and inspires them to give 110%, just as he himself always does. He cannot stand the scent, or taste, of blue cheese. Jack also has a phobia of clowns, which he confronted in "Boo Gi Nights". Jack also tends to say "You probably shouldn't have done that", whenever someone tries to punch him and he blocks it. He has great respect for his elders, particularly Rudy, but dislikes being told what to do and when, he also dislikes being shoved away. In the episode "Buddyguards" it is revealed that Jack can play guitar. It is revealed that his last name is Brewer and was shown that he gets jealous when Kim goes around other boys shown in the episode ["New Jack City"]. Jack has skills in martial arts that far surpass those of his friends (and enemies). It revealed that Jack likes Kim, and vice versa. In the Karate Games, Kim tells Jack that he is amazing and then they almost kiss. They go out on a date in "Kickin' It On Our Own." They begin dating officially in the episode "Two Dates and A Funeral." Jack also gets a job being an assistant sensei in season 3. In "Hit the Road Jack", he was offered a chance to go to Japan's Otai Academy. However, he declined to go since he didn't want to leave Kim or his friends. By "Wasabi Forever", he encouraged Kim to go after taking time to think. She gives him a cherry blossom to remember her by, and they finally kiss before she leaves for Japan.

First Appearance: Wasabi Warriors
Last Appearance: The Grandmaster

Milton

Milton David Krupnick (Dylan Riley Snyder) is an honor student who enrolls in martial arts to learn self-defense after being bullied for taking French Horn lessons. He is oddly unaware of his own shortcomings and has an awkward sense of confidence. A child prodigy, most school subjects come naturally to him. Milton has a weird sense of nerd fashion, and once got food for the dojo when it was about to get smashed. According to his parents, he looked like a baby bird when he was born. He takes pride in having won his school's first-ever Spelling Bee. Milton wants to be a "kick-butt" hero like Jack. His rarely used middle name is David. Milton also loves Live Action Role Playing in the park. His girlfriend is Julie. It is revealed that both Milton and Jerry have become so good at karate that they can fight black dragons and beat them. During Kickin it On Our Own, he transfers to Swathmore Academy and Claire seems to have a crush on him. In season 3, Milton and Julie are revealed to have broken up in "Gabby's Gold" and he also dates Gabby Douglas in the same episode. Since their breakup, Milton became overconfident and usually comes on too strong, clear examples being Grey and Nikki. In "How Bobby Got His Groove Back" it's revealed that he's Jewish.

Miltons catchphrase is: "Holy, Christmas nuts!"

Last Appearance: The Grandmaster

Jerry

Jerry Martinez (Mateo Arias) is a "lone wolf" who ends up at Bobby Wasabi's dojo to complete his school PE credit. Jerry speaks Spanish fluently (despite flunking his high-school Spanish class), and acts the bad boy to give himself the illusion of being macho. As a talented dancer, he once invented a move called -"The Jerry". While he is more-so confused than tough, he is fiercely loyal and takes his friendships very seriously. Jerry is willing to try anything at least once, and seldom refuses a dare. He has a tendency to choke on his barbells, due to lifting heavier weights and/or more of them than he really should. Jerry served a brief stint as the stunt partner of Seaford High cheer-captain (and karate classmate) Kim, but this didn't last because he kept dropping her...and because of his morbidly hairy body and limbs. It is revealed in the episode "Reality Fights" that Jerry is frightened of saltine crackers. His last name, Martinez, was first revealed in "All the Wrong Moves." In "Skate Rat", Eddie revealed that Jerry's middle name is Caeser. Jerry has become a better karate student than both Eddie and Milton as seen in "All the President's Friends" when he fights Frank. In "The New Girl", Jerry is revealed to have a lying problem which Milton and Joan tried to cure him of until they realized he's more trouble when he tells the truth. It's also revealed in the same episode that this was the reason for Milton and Julie breaking up. Jerry originally worked at the Seaford Animal Park, but in the season 4 premiere, he became the manager of Phil's Bowl and Burger. It was also revealed that he's a skilled bowler.

First Appearance: Wasabi Warriors
Last Appearance: The Grandmaster

Kim

Kim Beulah Crawford (Olivia Holt) is the only female student at the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy but that doesn't faze her. She crossed over from an arch-rival dojo, the Black Dragons, after they cheated in a tournament and still lost. She remained friends with Carson Hunter who taught Kim her horrible dance moves and was a former student at the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy. Kim loves journalism and hates being called "just another pretty face". She rarely wears dresses or makeup, except to impress a guy. She's co-captain of her high-school cheer squad, and had a huge crush on teen pop star Ricky Weaver...until he proved to be an utter heel. If Kim has a weakness, it's dancing; even with coaching from karate classmate Jerry, she has trouble "getting down." Kim's toughness belies her endearing appearance; she's typically the first to stick up for herself and/or a friend. Her last name, Crawford, was revealed in the season 1 episode "Dojo Day Afternoon". Kim has a crush on fellow black belt Jack, but hides it from him and everybody else. It's revealed in the episode "A Slip Down Memory Lane" that she considers Jack as more than just a friend. In the season 3 episode "Jack Stands Alone", Kim's middle name is revealed to be Beulah. In the episode "Wazombie Warrior", Kim went on a date with Jack. In "Karate Games", Kim tells Jack that he is amazing and Jack almost kissed her. In "Kickin' It On Our Own", They go out on another date. They begin dating officially in "Two Dates and A Funeral." In "Wasabi Forever", Kim was accepted into Otai and left for Japan. After sharing a kiss, Kim gives Jack a cherry blossom petal and tells him to think of her every time he looks at it.

First Appearance: Wasabi Warriors
Last Appearance: The Grandmaster

NOTE: Olivia Holt was billed for, but did not appear in, several second-season episodes while filming Girl vs. Monster in 2012. No explanation was ever given for Kim's absence.

Eddie

Eddie Jones (Alex Christian Jones) is a sweet-but-uncoordinated youngster who attends Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy to get in shape. He loves the sense of achievement karate gives him. Eddie's biggest fear is that, if the dojo ever closes, he'll be forced by his mother back to Mrs. King's Dance Academy. His pet peeve is doing anything he detests - like taking dance and/or cello lessons - for the sole purpose of impressing others. Eddie's mom once told him that babies came from a pumpkin patch. He embarrasses easily, and was once blackmailed by school bully Truman into pulling a series of cruel pranks on his friends. He wants to be an archeologist when he grows up. In "A Slip Down Memory Lane", Milton honestly answers Eddie's question about Eddie's horrible karate moves, meaning that Eddie can't improve his karate skills well.

First Appearance: Wasabi Warriors
Last Appearance: Oh, Christmas Nuts

Rudy

Rudy Gillespie (Jason Earles) is a third-degree blackbelt and the sensei - also, more recently, manager - of the local Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy, Rudy was a top amateur martial artist until being sidelined by an injury; he remains as competitive as they come. He's a lifelong fan of Bobby Wasabi, and keeps posters of all the man's movies around the dojo. Rudy has used his entire life's savings to become co-owner of the BWMAA chain, and takes fierce pride in the fact. Despite his wacky nature and sometimes-gross sense of humor, he's a very good (if unorthodox) karate instructor who genuinely identifies with his students...and who's always ready to back them up when rough times get rougher. His last name, Gillespie, was first revealed in "It Takes Two To Tangle." In Kickin It On Our Own, he sells the dojo but gets it back after winning a fight against Kofi Kingston. After becoming Sam's guardian, Rudy makes Jack his assistant sensei. In "The Boys are back in Town", after a ferris wheel accident, Rudy opened the Wasabi Warrior Academy.

Phil (Dan Ahdoot) is the owner of the restaurant, Falafel Phil's and later on, Phil's Bowl and Burger.

He has a goat named Tootsie, whom he is extremely fond of. He sometimes competes against Rudy though both seem to be friends as Rudy invited him on a motorcycle trip, and helps baby-sit his goat when he is out of town. He has a niece (Mika) that Jerry dates during Season 2.

Joan Malone (Brooke Dillman) is a security guard at the strip mall where the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy is located, who tends to tag along with the Wasabi Warriors.

In "Win, Lose or Ty", he and Rudy become friends when they share the a dojo when Rudy accidentally crashed a monster truck into the Black Dragon's dojo, but in the end, go back to being enemies.
