Kung Fu Panda 3 Characters

Kung Fu Panda 3 Characters  Jack Black as Po
Master Po Ping (more commonly known simply as Po and Master Po;) is a title character and the protagonist of the Kung Fu Panda franchise. He is the 20-year-old giant panda who is improbably chosen as the Dragon Warrior, champion of the Valley of Peace in the first film. He's the adoptive son of Mr. Ping, and is one of Master Shifu's students. Po is also the prophesied Dragon Warrior, as well as the warrior of black and white. In Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Po's revealed to have the ability to be able to learn kung fu at a glance.

Kung Fu Panda 3 Characters

Po is also the team leader of the Furious Five, although that is not properly part as his other companions he is considered as a second master after Shifu.

The character has received largely positive critical reception, reaching influence to serve as the other characters, video games and films in the media
Po is friendly, kind, energetic, impulsive, good-natured, spunky, innocent, fun-loving, compassionate, smart, naive, lovable, and he never gives up. Though Po's real passion was for Kung Fu, he was reluctant to disappoint his father by revealing it. Despite having a mild and friendly personality, Po also developed a severe self-loathing, believing himself a failure for being both obese (but in reality he is a healthy weight for his species) and a species not known for a warrior tradition. When he gets upset, he usually gorged on food to dull the pain.

His main interest lies in Kung Fu, of which he has developed an encyclopedic knowledge of the lore of warriors (he even knows the backstory of Master Croc, Master Storming Ox, and Master Thundering Rhino in Secrets of the Masters), famous combat moves, dates and historic artifacts (he even has action figures in the likenesses of the Furious Five which, as revealed in the credits of the second film, he made himself). Furthermore, his deep appreciation of the martial arts extends into its philosophical aspects, enabling to him to sometimes achieve insights of which even deeply respected masters like Shifu cannot conceive. Despite this preference, Po did not neglect his education in his foster father's trade and is an excellent cook as a result. However, as seen in the TV series, nobody can stand to watch him eat due to his very slobish behaviour (e.g., sucking up soup from a table, spitting it back into a cup to pick a small chunk of food from, then drinking said spat-out soup). He does seem perfectly capable of having manners though.

Kung Fu Panda 3 Characters - Po's naive, gullible, and energetic personality can perhaps be compared to that of a fan of Kung Fu movies. This is reflected in the theme song of Legends of Awesomeness, in which one line actually just says 'something, something', and which contains self-made music. He has near-encyclopedic knowledge of Kung Fu history, people, and relics, similar to a science fiction fan who is knowledgeable of entire terminologies of scifi films and TV shows. He is generally friendly, lovable, passionate, a bit impulsive and good-natured, but sometimes comes off as chummy and informal, and his enthusiasm and excitable demeanor occasionally cause people to misunderstand him, most prominently in the first film. He is a big fan of the masters of Kung Fu, but treats them more like heroes and celebrities rather than teachers and authority figures, which initially caused the Furious Five to feel like he thinks of them as entertainment and Kung Fu as a hobby and even joke. It wasn't until they put aside their expectations of the Dragon Warrior that they finally accept him as a good person and friend, rather than a disrespectful student who doesn't take things seriously.

His relationship and position with the Five is a strong one, being likened to the position of the little brother in the dysfunctional kung fu family, who embarrasses everyone, but is still too loveable to hate. He cares about the Five enormously, and is close with everyone, although his best friend is uncertain. While the Five make fun of him, they all care about him, and have strong concerns if he is in trouble. Kung Fu Panda 3 Movie
