The following is a list of characters from the DreamWorks animated film media franchise Kung Fu Panda, with their shorts and specials Secrets of the Furious Five, Kung Fu Panda Holiday, Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters, and Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll, as well as the video games and TV show Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness.
The world of Kung Fu Panda is a fantasized version of ancient China as typically depicted in the wuxia film genre populated by anthropomorphized Asian animals where the martial arts can have magical qualities on top of extraordinary physical prowess for those sufficiently skilled.
Master Po Ping (Chinese for "Precious Peace"), born Lotus Shan, is the titular protagonist of the Kung Fu Panda franchise. He is a fast-talking giant panda who was improbably chosen as the Dragon Warrior, champion of the Valley of Peace in the first movie. Although highly doubted as such, the giant panda proved himself worthy as a formidable warrior in unexpected ways. The adoptive son of Mr. Ping, a goose who owns a noodle restaurant, Po is one of Shifu's students, the prophesied Dragon Warrior, the Warrior of Black and White and the True Master of Chi.
In the first film, Po is shown to be living with his adoptive father Mr. Ping and working at his noodle restaurant, dreaming of a life as a celebrated kung fu master. However, because of his excessive weight and work fueling a crippling self-loathing, he cannot achieve this dream. However, to his surprise, he is chosen to be the legendary Dragon Warrior seemingly by accident: When having arrived late to the Dragon Warrior's selection ceremony, his attempts to get over the palace walls to see the event results in him conspicuously crashing into the midst of the masters and being picked as the new Dragon Warrior just as Master Oogway is about to make his selection. As it is, Oogway's selection of him is doubted by all until Po defeats Tai Lung. He is capable of impressive feats when motivated by food (which Shifu uses to train him afterwards).
