The British-American animated comedy television series The Amazing World of Gumball features a wide array of primary and supporting characters, all of whom reside in the fictional American city of Elmore. The series primarily revolves around the daily life of Gumball Watterson (Logan Grove, seasons 1–2 and season 3 episode: "The Kids"; Jacob Hopkins, rest of season 3 to season 5 episode "The Copycats", Nicolas Cantu, rest of season 5 onward), a cat, and his family—adoptive brother and best friend Darwin (Kwesi Boakye, seasons 1–2 and season 3 episode: "The Kids"; Terrell Ransom, Jr., rest of season 3 to season 5 episode "The Copycats", Donielle T. Hansley Jr., rest of season 5 to season 6 episode "The Cage", Christian J. Simon, season 6 episode "The Faith" onward), sister Anais (Kyla Rae Kowalewski), and parents Nicole and Richard (Teresa Gallagher and Dan Russell, respectively). Gumball's fellow Elmore Junior High students also have frequent recurring roles throughout the series. Creator Ben Bocquelet conceived The Amazing World of Gumball in 2007 while working as a development artist for Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe, and based several of its characters on previous sketches characters he had created for commercials.
Gumball (formerly Zach) Tristopher Watterson (voiced by Logan Grove, seasons 1–2 and season 3 episode: "The Kids"; Jacob Hopkins, rest of seasons 3-4 and season 5 episodes: "The Rerun"-"The Copycats" and "The Fuss"; Nicolas Cantu, rest of seasons 5 onward) is a 12-year-old mostly mischievous light blue cat who lives with his family in the fictional California city of Elmore. He attends Elmore Junior High in the eighth grade with his brother Darwin, who is 10 years old. Often finding himself and Darwin in various antics which end up getting them into trouble, episodes in the series' first season characterized Gumball as well-meaning in his actions, but with naive tendencies; throughout the show's progression, he has since established himself as a more serious character capable of logical thinking and prone to sarcasm.
