Yin Yang Yo! is an American/UK Animated television series distributed by Walt Disney Television Animation and created by Bob Boyle (also the creator of Nick Jr. series Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!). It is produced in Burbank, California and Toronto, Canada. It is the third Jetix-original show. It premiered on September 4, 2006 on Jetix with a sneak peek airing on August 26, 2006. It debuted on Jetix UK on February 5, 2007 after a sneak peek preview on January 27, 2007. It made its Canadian television premiere on Family Channel on March 25, 2006. It stars two rabbits named Yin and Yang, and their panda master named Master Yo. The series' season season premiered on January 1, 2008.

The theme song for Yin Yang Yo! is sung by Cory In The House's Kyle Massey.^{[citation needed]}

"That idea came from a trip my wife and I made to Little Tokyo (in Los Angeles). I saw a little girl wearing a shirt that said 'Samurai in Training.' I thought that's cute, and then that a tiny samurai would be not only funny, but hilarious!! and then went to 'what is the cutest' animal and thought of a fluffy little bunny and it took off from there. Always hearing from folks in pitches that an idea didn't have enough boy appeal, or enough girl appeal, I thought why not do both. Have equal characters, or equal importance, boy and girl. Then give them that sibling rivalry."

— Bob Boyle, creator of Yin Yang Yo! ^[1]

Yo was added a bit later on. Thus the concept for Yin Yang Yo! was created. Before "Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!" was even pitched, Bob was working on the pilot [for Yin Yang Yo!] at Disney. The show are green-lighted for a series months later. With help from Steve Marmel (who is now co-executive producer), Boyle was able to develop the series.

The series is similar to other shows Bob has worked on, such as "Danny Phantom", due to the age group the show is aimed at. ^[2] Yo! is pretty different from Wubbzy, in that the tone is more dark and mysterious. It was somewhat "easy" to work on, due to having worked on shows with a similar style. ^[3]

Pre-production and recording take place in Canada, to help keep in budget with Disney's guidelines. Animation is also done in Macromedia Flash. At Disney, scripts, key designs, new character designs, backgrounds and preliminary color designs done with a small team of people. This is sent over to Canada where storyboarding, final designs, and animation is done. Completed storyboards are sent back, where they are revised by the crew (and Bob) in Burbank. Bob stated that "...So there was not an army of people to over see. At "Wubbzy", if you are gone a day, all sorts of stuff gets tangled. But on Yo, it just runs smoothly along in Canada." ^[4]

This show is about two anthropomorphic rabbit twins named Yin and Yang that train under Master Yo, a grumpy old panda. They learn the sacred art of Woo Foo, a special type of martial arts that involves might and magic. They must work together to save the world from evil villains and forces that want to destroy, corrupt, or take it over. But through all these adventures, Yin and Yang still portray typical siblings; sometimes disagreeing with each other, but still care about each other and working together needed. During the first season, the primary goal was to defeat the Night Master, a powerful enemy. During the current, ongoing second season, Steve Marmel stated that there are four story lines. The first one is the crowning (and eventual defeating) of a new Night Master (or Mistress). The second is Yang's own quest to find powerful mystic artifacts.

Season 1 has been completed with 26 episodes, including the three parts to Woofoogeddon. Season 2 has returned as of January 1, 2008 with currently 9 episodes.^{[citation needed]} Steve Marmel stated on Toonzone and TV.com that the second season will have 39 episodes. ^[5]

• Yin (voiced by Stephanie Morgenstern): Yin is a pink female rabbit and the twin sister of Yang (who is her older brother by a few seconds). Yin is intelligent, cute, sassy, but quite stubborn (she shows signs of being a neat freak as well). Yin hopes to save the world and likes getting back at her brother. Yin is learning the mystic side of Woo Foo, however, her martial arts side in Woo Foo is just as good as Yang's. Yin knows many attacks, such as Energy Rays, Yin-Cinerate, Yin-Ferno, Trans-Foo-Mate, Fooluminate, Yin-Visible, Levitation, Foo Orbs, Woo Foo Aura, and Foo Field. She can also use the Pretty Pink Paws of Pain (her version of the Paws of Power), Woo Foo Racket, Trans-Foo-Shrinkafy, Buns of Honey and the Yin Yang Yo-Yo. When she uses Yin-Cinerate and Yang uses Foo-Nado, they can use Fire-Nado. When she uses Yin-Cinerate and Yang uses Fists of Fire, they can use Fists of Yin-Cineration. She can also fly/float. She is also pretty good at using a bamboo staff. She also has a super jumping ability. She is super fast and has great physical strength. She is a fan of two-ni-corns (two horned horse creatures with crime-boss accents). Her best friend is Lina, who she attempts to keep her brother from dating. She is a Level One Woo Foo Knight. Also, in "Night Fall", she finds an attraction to Coop, but in "The Pecking Order", she loses attraction to Coop when he has his evil under control. She also has a crush on Jobeaux from "Foreign Exchange Problem". She is also a shopaholic. Yin can be self-centered and vain sometimes.

• Yang (voiced by Scott McCord): Yang is a blue male rabbit and the twin brother of Yin. He is into video games, motorcycles, and other boyish things. Yang is quite naive and is bad at mathematics. Yang, like his sister, cares about saving the world. Yang always wants to "hit stuff". Yang learns the martial arts side of Woo Foo, however, his mystic side is as good as Yin's. He can use many attacks such as, Foo-Nado, Reverse Foo-Nado, Fists of Fire, Fire Fists, Paws of Pain (really Paws Of Power, but he decided to call it the latter), Feet of Fury, Man Smash, Woo Foo Aura, and Power Punch. He uses a Bamboo Sword, which can become a boomerang (Yang-a-Rang), a bo staff (Bamboo Staff), two or three separate swords, a hammer (Yammer), a magnifying glass in the episode "Shadows and Light", a pair of nunchucks (Foo Chucks), a flail, and a golf club. He can also use Yang-Cinerate (his version of Yin-Cinerate), Foo Field, and Levitation. He can even use telekinetic powers. When he uses Foo-Nado and Yin uses Yin-Cinerate, they can use Fire-Nado. When Yang uses Fists of Fire and Yin uses Yin-Cinerate, they can use Fists of Yin-Cineration. He can also fly/float. He also has a super jumping ability. He also has great physical strength and is super fast. He also has a battle cry: "CHEE! HOO! WAA!" He's really more intelligent than he makes out to be so he can get away with more. In some episodes, Yang thinks about what he is going to do before he leaps into action. He is also a Level One Woo Foo Knight. It is shown in "Party Favors", that Yang loves clowns. After learning that if he starts the day happier, it will turn out better, he is trying to be a better and nicer person. He is currently starting a quest to find some special weapons.

• Master Yo (voiced by Martin Roach): Yo is a grumpy old panda whose age is unknown (but he missed his 117th high school reunion). Yo has great sage wisdom and is a master in the Woo Foo arts. Master Yo mentors Yin and Yang in the Woo Foo way to save the world, but it wasn't his choice. The spirits of past Woo Foo warriors stopped him from watching a movie called " Who stole the Cookie" until he decided to do it. He's able to use both might and magic and has moves that Yin and Yang have no clue about. His moves include Yo-cinerate, Foo-portate, Woo-Foo Aura, Marbalize, Paws of Power, Foo-pliclate, de-puslify and summoning the ancient Woo-Foo scrolls. In the episode "Turnabout" he was made into a three year old, and was able to use Woo Foo Aura, Woo Foo Lightning, and even telekinetic powers. This shows that he was very good at Woo Foo at a young age. He once was able to defeat the ultimate evil, the one and only Night Master. He is, in his own words; the last panda on the planet.

• Lina (voiced by Novie Edwards): An aqua-green female bear. Yang's eternal love and Yin's best friend. She is an intelligent, pretty, yet short-tempered farm girl. She was first introduced in "Beetlemania" where Yang lied about being a Woo Foo Warrior to impress her, but his plan backfired after he had to fight a giant steel beetle. Yin was able to get Yang to tell the truth. In "The Yin of Yang" she shows slight feelings for Yang after he tried to act like Yin in order to impress her. In "Smoke and Mirrors" she is actually tried to pursue him though she was constantly interrupted by Yin and Yang. She lives on a farm with her father. A running gag is that Lina doesn't look like a bear or has any bear-like characteristics unlike her father. Sometimes, people spell her name as Lena. As of Gone-A-Fowl, she and Yang exchange their secret feelings for eachother and begin pursuing a relationship.

• Roger Junior (voiced by Damon Papadopoulos): Logically the son of Yin and Yang's part-time enemy, Roger the Skelawog. At first, Roger Jr. was a bully to Yin and Yang, having mock fights with Yang and teasing him and Yin, but during Woofoogeddon, it was revealed he longed to be Yang's best friend. Roger Jr., being a monster, has displayed super strength such as when he easily took a whole group of the Night Master's soldiers just by running by them with his arms. He can also breathe fire and launch spikes from his arms. In Season 2, he ends ultimately befriends with Yin, Yang and Lena.

• Dave (voiced by Dwayne Hill): A magical talking tree stump, Dave is a low life and is considered pathetic by his friends. Many times, Dave is often caught in the crossfire of battles or hurt in some way by friend and/or foe. He is also whiny, talks nonstop about school and is never noticed. As discovered in Stuck, Dave has the ability to communicate with and manipulate trees. This power apparently surpasses that of the other characters.

• Melodia (voiced by Megan Fahlenbock): A yellow-green aardvark who is princess of the Stink Aardvarks. She is in love with Yang for his filthy ways, and despises all things clean. Despite this, she and Yin respect each other's differences. When the Woo Foo Warriors need some help, she will call on the stink aardvark's army to assist them.

• Jobeaux: A Redneckistanian practicing Woo Foo, while being disliked by his teachers, Yin and Yang as a stupid, smelly hick. However, when he finally gets the time to clean himself up, he reveals himself to be a smart, well-groomed young man. After defeating the Chung Pow Kitties, Beaux reveals his knowledge of Yin and Yang's disrespect and returns home to marry and live in a castle of diamond-encrusted grits. He has a pet armadillo named Fuzzy Thunder that hides in his mouth, giving him a hick accent. He can use Foo Field, Energy Rays, and Levitation.

• Wooda: A past panda Woo Foo master. He was partnered with his cousin, Shooda. Due to his rivalry with Shooda, the two were apparently defeated by the Invisigoths. He and Shooda's names are a joke on "would'a and should'a", as joked by Yang.

• Shooda: A past panda Woo Foo master. She was partnered with her cousin, Wooda. Due to her rivalry with Wooda, the two were appearntly defeated by the Invisigoths. She and Wooda's names are a joke on "would'a and should'a", as joke by Yang.

• Chai: A past tiger Woo Foo master. He was partnered with Ti. Due to her rivalry with Ti, the two were defeated by Heriditous. Their names are a pun on "Chai Tea".

• Ti: A past tiger Woo Foo master. She was partnered with Chai. Due to his rivalry with Chai, the two were defeated by Heriditous. Their names are a pun on "Chai Tea".

• Night Master (voiced by David Hemblen): Billed as a "Dark Overlord In An Evil Class All By Himself", the Night Master is a very powerful and dangerous foe who was responsible for the near extinction of Woo Foo by eliminating all of the Woo Foo knights except for Master Yo. The Sensei managed to turn Night Master's army to stone and sent him into hiding for a hundred years until he tricked Yin and Yang into using Woo Foo in order to free his army. The Night Master appears to be a demonic sorcerer bat of some description and has a liking for gothically ostentatious outfits. He frequently communicates with his lackeys by using a hologram. He was banished to a dark realm by Coop in the season one finale, but it is said a new Night Master will soon rise to take his place. Night Master's appearance is obviously similar to Aku of Samurai Jack fame. He is considered to be the actual main villain throughout the series, even though Carl appeared in most of the episodes, while many think that Carl was the main villain since the first season. As revealed in The Pecking Order, he is one of an eternal line of Night Masters alongside Heriditous and an unnamed cobra-like woman. Ever since his defeat, the other villains have been developing their evil in an attempt to become the new Night Master. Utimoose temporarily succeeded in doing so after he found the Amnisulet, but was defeated by Yang and stripped of the title.

• Carl the Evil Cockroach Wizard (voiced by Jamie Watson): Carl, the malevolent cockroach wizard, (who tends to shout out his name as much as possible) continuously schemes to defeat Yin, Yang, Master Yo and the power of the Woo Foo with his insecure genius. Of course, with all his magic, he always fails. He also lives with his overbearing mother Edna, who is a dragon (it makes no sense as to how they are all related). Carl is always trying to find a way to impress his mother and out do his brother Herman, who is a small but superstrong ant with a Scottish accent. Despite the fact that Carl and Herman loathe one another, they have worked together on occasion, making a deadly force against Yin and Yang (so strong that an ally is almost always needed to beat them.) His dream is to become so enormous that he would blot out the sun, an idea that Herman and The Night Master stole. Carl is an evil reflection of Yin's magical ability and Yang's goofiness but seriousness when it is the right time. Really Carl is stronger then Yin and Yang in power but if someone criticizes him he's easily distracted.

• Brother Herman: Carl's black hearted, sadist, selfish and evil ant brother, Herman, is a tyrannical warrior who rules his kingdom with an iron fist, a diabolical mind, and impeccable table manners. He attempted to take over the world until Master Yo stopped him. Using his panda fur which Herman is allergic too. Since Herman is allergic to panda fur, he can't take over the world as long as Master Yo is around. He is a college graduate and has a master's degree in pain. Despite the fact that Carl and Herman hate each others' guts, they have worked together on occasion making a deadly force against Yin, Yang and Master Yo (In a situation where he had no fur). It's implied throughout the series that Herman is older than Carl. When he speaks, his voice sounds similar to Gordon Quid from Catscratch, even having something of a Scottish accent. Herman is an evil reflection of Yang's mighty fighting skills and strength and Yin's brains.

• Charles: He is the obedient second-in-command of Brother Herman. His serial number is 8 and he likes long walks on the beach as revealed in Dictator of the Year. His first solo debut is in Party Favors, when he teams up with G.P. and Flavior to crash Coop's "Welcome Back and Thanks For Saving Everyone From Evil By Banishing The Night Master All By Yourself" party and enter The Night Master's lair with Coop's spare key until betrayed by G.P. after becoming Fr-ped. He is scared of Yang because he always tries to burn him.

• Kraggler (voiced by Tony Daniels): A gargoyle who is about a "bazillion" years old, Kraggler used to be a great and powerful warrior and Master Yo's arch enemy. Reduced to a feeble old man, after he broke the time traveling hour glass he got the power to drain the youth from anything, or give his age to anything. Kraggler is more of a threat and evil when he is young so he needs to write his plans down in case he reverts to his original age. His appearance is also similar to a gargoyle, though for some reason his older version has no legs.

• Saranoia (voiced by Linda Ballantyne): With an outfit & magic wand for every occasion, Saranoia is a powerful sorceress and mistress of disguise. Deeply sexist and obsessed with female rights, she is determined to free Yin from studying Woo Foo. She had a terrible childhood and always thinks men are like her lazy brother Mark and her boy-favoring wizard father, who she mistakes Yo as, just as she mistakes Yang for Mark. She was condemned to an insane asylim from The Truth Hurts to A Bad Case of the Buglies. At this point, she's given up being an evil wizard, has had plastic surgery, and is the spoke person for "Repulsix". When Saranoia takes one of her wands, she takes on a set of characteristics and must abide by the rules of the wand, even if it's against her own will. Unlike the other villains on the show, Saranoia is not pure evil, but she is comically psychotic. She appeared in Deja Foo, attending the super villains picnic with her surgeries removed and uses weaponry, as opposed to wizardtry.

• G.P. (F-rped) (voiced by Damon Papadopoulos): Elf flunky to Saranoia. He dislikes his superior, who's insanity he levels. His shapeshifting abilities allow him to blend in with Saranoia's forms. His solo, dark, and aggressive sides' debut is in Party Favors when he teams up with Flavior and Charles for his own personal gain of crashing Coop's "Welcome Back and Thanks For Saving Everyone From Evil By Banishing The Night Master All By Yourself" party to enter The Night Master's lair with Coop's spare key that breaks, filling G.P. with an enormous amount of evil energy, but not enough to become the new Night Master. He appears in Deja Foo, attending the super villains picnic with his original form that still possesses his evil personality and powers. At this point, G.P. renames himself Frped, standing for Frightenengly Really Powerful Enraged Doomgiver, pronouncing it Fred stating the "P" is silent while other characters refer to him as his name's spelling. His mannerism resembles Norm Macdonald's randition of Burt Reynolds. His tentative name was Kerlian.

• Fastidious (voiced by Mark Bowen): A small hamster with a cultured British accent, obsessed with cleanliness and world domination. He is nearly always seen inside a hamsterball that serves as the control center for his robots, mainly his Hamsterbot. He has a habit of drastically increasing his pitch whenever exclaiming certain words, such as "Activate!!". He seems to be a certified attorney.

• Zarnot (voiced by Jamie Watson): Once Yang's favorite toy, Zarnot is an evil action figure brought to life by the Lie Fairy. Due to his common failure, Zarnot was forced into a hated toy box by the Night Master. With the Night Master defeated, Zarnot's status was unknown until "Deja Foo."

• Ultimoose: (voiced by Tony Daniels): Ultimoose is the ultimate Night Master lackey: tough as nails, a master at Moose fighting, and really, really dumb, despite his shortness and strong antlers. He seems to offer work under the Night Master but is merely a dim-witted pawn. He employs the use of his battle cry "HOOH! HAH! HOOH!" usually followed by his antlers shooting out flame in the shape of a square with his name written in flames and is soon defeated by Master Yo and fails to work for the Night Master. Also as an insult, he likes to call people little girls or ladies. He tends to refer to himself in the third person. His outfit and hairstyle are similar to that of the Marvel Comics superhero Wonder Man. He became the new Night Master in "Deja Foo," calling himself the Night Mooster. He became regular Ultimoose again after Yang reversed time, found the Amnisulet first, and was aided by the other villains to defeat him.

• Chung Pow Kitties (voiced by Stephanie Morgenstern): At first glance, the Chung Pow Kitties (CPK) seem like a rock band of endearing white kittens with pink, blue, and green dresses, but in reality, they are ruthless ninjas with ultra-sharp weapons (with the exception of the green-clad cat's nunchukus). However, once they see a ball of yarn or a dish of cat food - even in battle - they instantly revert to adorable balls of fur. They are also world famous as rock stars and stage actors, even though all they say is "meow." Yang was once their biggest fan, but the CPK betrayed him and they have been bitter rivals ever since. As of "Foreign Exchange Problem", they possess energy powers that give them the ability to merge into an aura.

• Yuck (voiced by Scott McCord): Yuck, a turquoise-green rabbit with terrible hygiene, is an entity formed from Yin's obsession with control and Yang's aggression. As a disgusting, mutant rabbit, Yuck wants more than anything in the world to be the greatest, most powerful Woo Foo Knight of all time. After he lost his physical form, he was found by the Night Master who built him a robot suit with hands that absorb Woo Foo so he could become real. He dated Yin in disguise and eventually absorbed enough energy to regain his physical form, becoming his own individual being. The rabbit duo defeated him but it's most likely he'll be back. Yuck has shown himself to be quite intelligent in his convoluted schemes to Yin and Yang. In terms of fighting ability he appears to be as formidable as Yin and Yang put together, being able to take on Yo himself. After a mission into Yo to get an ancient Woo Foo weapon, Yin and Yang break his shrink belt and he shrinks uncontrollably to the point where he is no longer visible. However, he returns a Level 2 Woo Foo Knight when the 2 copies of Yin and Yang copies misuse their fooplication charm. He is a Level 2 Woo Foo Knight due to Yin and Yang's title of Level 1 Woo Foo Knights. He can use the same moves as both Yin and Yang, but his favorite move seems to be his own move, Yuck-icane. Using the charm, Yuck created an army of Yin and Yang fooplicates. When Yin destroys the charm to erase the fooplicates, Yuck absorbs their power and becomes Master Yo's level if not more. Unfortunately for Yuck, he also develops a bad case of the hiccups which leaves him unable to control his new powers.

• Miss Millipide (voiced by Linda Ballantyne): A centipide villain thief who attacks Yin and Yang in the Pong's Market. In the battle of Yin and Yang, she disappears. Later, she reappears in the same market for the revenge, but Yuck makes her "shred". She later appears in the celebration of the "Dictator of the Year", and in the Evil-con in "Pros and Cons".

• Pondscüm (pronounced "Pondscy-oum") (voiced by Jonathan Wilson): A street, Swedish, fish inside a robot suit. He is obsessed with "bling-bling", and will get it at all costs. However, he truly carries a Swedish accent. He is usually accompanied by his female henchmen, the "Blixens". He reappears in "League of Evil" as a member of the league. Also he makes good Steaks as found in the Evil Villains Picknick.

• Flavior (voiced by David Berm): The fashion obsessed minion to the Night Master. His solo debut was in Party Favors when he teams up with G.P. and Charles to crash Coop's "Welcome Back and Thanks For Saving Everyone From Evil By Banishing The Night Master All By Yourself" party to enter The Night Master's lair with Coop's spare key until betrayed by G.P. after becoming Frped.

• Dank & Direl (voiced by Damon Papadopoulos): Two shadow creatures that bicker constantly. They are under the employ of the Night Master. After the Night Master was eliminated, they popped up at the Villain picnic.

• Heriditous: A mighty Gryphon bent on destroying Woo Foo. He appears as the final boss in the online game "Dangerous Comic Book of Dread". As revealed at the beginning of The Pecking Order, he was one of the past Night Masters.

• Grizzleflavin (voiced by Jonathan Wilson): A gargoyle head who guards The Night Master's lair. He apparently knows Kraggler.

• Smoke (voiced by Novie Edwards): A hyper-active female who was, supposedly, Yang's girlfriend. It turns out she was using him to fight against her brother, who in turn, captures Yin to fight against Smoke. Yin and Yang eventually capture the two into Smoke's Prison Prism. She reappears in League of Evil as a member of the league alongside Carl, Pondscüm, and The Puffin. This episode reveals her interests in serenity trances and bathroom tidyness. The following episode, Stuck reveals her individual main villain debut. Her Prison Prisms seem to be a parody of Poké-balls, found in the Pokémon series. She also seems to talk really fast and out of sync with her lip movements, further parodying Japanese animation.^{[original research?]}

• Fish-Tie-Star-Trousers: Smoke's star fish Forever Friend from Stuck. When called into battle, he enlarges, becomes monterous, and is equipped with a buzzsaw fighting style.

• Blubber-Poo: Smoke's seal Forever Friend from Stuck. When called into battle, he takes on the form of a horned-walrus.

• Carmen (Smoker Chief): Smoke's smoke entity Forever Friend from Stuck. Though his real name is Carmen, he is commonly mistaken for Smoker Chief.

• Mirrors (voiced by Johnathan Wilson): Smoke's rivaled brother. When Smoke uses Yang in the tournament, Mirrors obtains Yin to fight her. Yin and Yang managed to use one of the Forever Friend Prisms to imprison Smoke and Mirrors. Mirrors' hairstyle resembles the hairstyle of Goku from Dragon Ball Z. He appears to speak in a way mocking most anime, by stopping and starting at odd intervals. He and his sister's names are a play on words of the phrase "Smoke and Mirrors."

• Mastermind (voiced by Peter Crugo): An evil mittens-wearing wizard who was a big threat years ago. Now he's just a brain looking for a body to regain his reign of evil. He tried to take over Yang's body, but was eventually defeated.

• Badfoot (voiced by Orlando Jones): A purple horse who was known as the enemy that Master Yo couldn't beat. He is supported by his horn section, he dresses like James Brown, and used to carry with him a power item called the Lick-n-Stick. Once a year every year, he come into the city to drain Woo Foo out of Master Yo. When Yin and Yang "fought the funk (even though they had to use it their way)", they managed to aid Master Yo in defeating Badfoot at last, claiming the Lick-n-Stick in the process.

• The Manotuar (voiced by Seth MacFarlane): A half-man with hairy hoves, but all man (If you count colecting comic books and action figueres manly.). He is a large man with a bald head who dresses like a city man. His plan was to kidnap all the Two-ni-corns and to shave off all their hair to make a large wig to cover up his really smooth, bald head to get a date with The Womanotaur. When Yin and Yang reach his lair, it's really his house in a cul-de-sac, Yang uses Man Smash, learned from his comicbook hero, U-Dude, and frees the Two-ni-corns.

• The Puffin: A gentleman-dressed puffin. He first appeared where he, Carl, Smoke, and Pondscüm ended up sharing an apartment and formed the League of Evil. He is said to have more advantage in the rain which hasn't been demonstrated. His dressy appearance is based on The Penguin, although characters in the show stop talking before the connection is made. His mannerism is a loud quack. He is an obvious parody of The Penquin. However, all links to this fact is eliminated to avoid lawsuits.

• GreedCo CEO: A small, 90 year old devil. He hates all children, who he torments with Yang's advertising, until defeated by him.

• Van Happy-Pants: A clown who challenged Yo for the Woo Foo Tie and Suspenders in Gone-A-Fowl.

• Coop (Dwayne Hill): A nerdy chicken who appears to be scared of any threats and has a huge crush on Yin. But because she never returned any of his feelings, Coop joined the Night Master in exchange for the promise to have Yin when the world was taken over. He is a minor villain and he is seen with some of the other villains in the Yin, Yang, Yo intro in season 1. Coop gave the impression of incompetence, but in reality, he had powers and abilities rivaling Yin and Yang's. But in the end, Coop couldn't bring himself to go through with the Night Master's plans and held him in place so Yin and Yang could destroy him. However, like the Night Master, Coop disappeared as well, but returns in the The Pecking Order. He was stripped of his Night Master energy that spread across the world, possessing all who ingest it until Coop absorbs a large amount of controlled evil, enough to make him a Night Master. He has the ability to create a glowing orange-yellow, bird shaped battle aura, which he dubs "Shadow Chicken". While using it, he is powerful enough to defeat even Master Yo.

• Roger the Skelewog: Roger the Skelewog is a vicious warrior from 9 to 5. Being a scary monster is just his job. When a whistle blows, he goes home to his equally fearsome wife, teenaged son Roger Jr. and 5-year-old daughter Tillman and life in the suburbs.

• The Lesson: The Lesson was once a great hero who stopped the two bad habits. When the two bad habits got loose again, The Lesson came to stop them, but the two bad habits explained to him that they had done nothing, and that people were just being lazy on their own. The Lesson then tried to rid people of their bad habits, but when they ignored him he tried to pound the lesson into them, literally. He is slightly evil, he just wants to get people to get rid of their bad habits. His powers include flight and the ability to turn his hands into hammers. He is currently trapped in a video game.

• The Lie Fairy (voiced by Kathleen Laskey): A fairy like the Tooth Fairy, but, as Yang puts it, "totally stupid". Appears whenever someone lies excessively like when Yin and Yang lied about Zarnot, she brought Zarnot to life to teach them a lesson. Was last seen at the dojo, saying what Yang wrote on his blog was a lie. She has a power called 'Lie Fairy Fists', which is so weak that it might take you a while to figure out you're being hit.

• Shillshore: Public face of GreedCo. He hires Yang for advertisement. With Greedo's CEO defeated, Shillshore quits his job until crushed by the CEO's car that then explodes.

• Edna: Carl and Herman's mother. Unlike her sons, she doesn't appear as a cockroach or an ant, but as a dragon. And a fire-breathing one at that. Edna seems to be always at wits-end with Carl, but she dotes on Herman.

• Coop's Mother: Coop's very attractive mother. She debuts in The Gig Is Up as an unrevealed member of Pandangerous' groupies. She officially debuts in Party Favors, where it is revealed that she worries about her son's safety around Yin and Yang, giving her the goal to destroy their reputation and improve Coop's. She's very popular among the young male characters, such that they came to the party she was throwing for Coop just to see her.

• Lina's Father: Lina's hardworking aqua-blue farmer bear father. He first appears in Beetlemania and appears mostly in the background alongside his daughter. He also tries to keep Lina away from Yang because of his attraction to her. Though this seems to have failed.

• The Mighty Justice Orb: An orb court jurier. He appears conceided.

• Jeremy: A young, nerdy turtle. He often exploits situations for his own enjoyment. His name and mother, the green humanoid, are revealed in Brian Drain, where he starts his rebellion years.

• Samanthuh: An antelope-like adult woman. Her name is revealed in This Yang Isn't Brought To You By..., where she joins M.A.T.J.Y., standing for Mothers Against That Jerk Yang until she renames after herself. Also revieled is her son, Arsten and love of coupons.

In "Imagination Situation", there is a blooper at the end, Yin's eyelashes disappear and appear on Yang's eyes. In some episodes Yang's teeth appear in Yin's mouth and Yin's teeth in Yang's mouth.

In the episode "Aura or not" Yang consistently calls the move Paws of Pain and Yin always corrects him. But despite its name actually being Paws of Power, Yo calls it Paws of Pain.

In the season 2 intro, Yin's eyes turn purple when squinting at the lyric "When might and magic work as one...".

In "Who Knows What Evil Lurks", when Yang breaks Yin's Foo Field around him in the beginning, he is translucent for a bit.

In "This Yang Isn't Brought To You By...", when Yin and Yang start using the Woo Foo Aura, Yang is the right half and Yin is the left. However, through most of the fight, Yin is on the right and Yang is on the left.

The show has seen several marathon screenings and other events, presumably as a form of advertising:

• Rabbit Takeover- an online event, the show's writers and artists were to live like rabbits for 60 days.

• Yin Yang Yo overthrow, the official (UK) show premier. An 18-hour marathon with the repeat of 4 episodes all-day and a new one at 7:30 on US Jetix on Toon Disney. It was also shown on Jetix UK on February 12, 2007 for 10hrs.

• Yin Yang-tastic Marathon- A 90 minute season finale that followed a marathon of 23 Yin Yang Yo episodes stretched out over the weekend.

• Don't Bug Your Mother Mothers Day Marathon- a collection of episodes, most of which featuring Carl and Herman's mother, Edna.

• Every Good Villain Has a Battle Cry Marathon- A marathon of the Yin Yang Yo! villains with their battle cries on Labor Day from 9 a.m. to 1.p.m

• Yin Yang Yo-lebration/Voice Your Choice Marathon- A marathon of Yin Yang Yo episodes (voted on by viewers) on January 21st, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, starting at 6 pm and ending with a new episode at 8:30 pm.

This article contains a list of miscellaneous information. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections or articles. (December 2007)

• In the episode "How the Cookies Crumble" the owner of the shop mentions the stores name is Long Jake. Long Jake is a nod to American Dragon: Jake Long a show on Toon Disney that Jetix shares a channel with Disney Channel and the shop keepers voice is similar to Jake's grandpa, nod to the voiceactor.

• In "The Gig is Up" Yin, Yang and Yo make a reference to American Idol Yin was the perky and nice judge (Paula Abdul), Yang was the snobby British guy (Simon Cowell), and Yo was the man that uses the out of date slang (Randy Jackson).

• "Dojo Alone" is a parody of Home Alone.

• In "Dojo Alone" Carl and Herman are dressed as plumbers. Herman is grey and Carl is green, which makes them resemble Mario and Luigi.

• Lina has no bear-like features.

• Smoke and Mirrors are a parody of Team Rocket and the entire Pokemon franchise, Smoke resembles Jessie and Mirror resembles James. They capture creatures in magical cubes (parody of a Pokéball) and force them fight against another in an arena (parody of a Pokémon Battle).

• "Pros and Cons" is loosely based on the mini-comic to promote the show in the October 2006 issue of Nick Magazine, also scenes from "Return of the Night Master" in the comic.

• The season one theme song shows Ultimoose, Kraggler, Fastidious, Coop, Carl, Herman, and the Night Master.

• The season two theme song shows a Badfoot, young Kraggler, Mastermind, Smoke, Mirrors, Carl, The Chung Pow Kitties with the power of the Woo Foo aura (have seen in episode 6), Fastidious in his hamster-bot, and an unknown robot, but might be the amnisulet and it's armor because at the end of Deja Foo the Woo Foo head laughed fiendeshly and turned red, the color of evil Woo Foo (though it could just be Giant robot mode Zarnot).
