    David Kawena

"So you're [Stitch] from outer space? I've heard the surfing's choice."

A fire performer and local surfer who is Nani's boyfriend. He is one of the few human characters outside of the Pelekai sisters who are aware of the existence of aliens and the experiments.


  • All There in the Manual: According to the Lilo & Stitch: Trouble in Paradise instruction manual, he's 23 years old.
  • All There in the Script: His surname was only shown in the first film's credits.
  • Big Brother Instinct: He shows this to Lilo and Stitch, diving into the ocean to rescue them, and making two trips to bring them and the aliens back to the mainland, in addition to participating in a family movie night and offering his help whenever possible.
  • Bilingual Bonus: Occasionally speaks in Hawaiian Pidgin, a creole made from English, Hawaiian, and Portuguese.
  • Cannot Spit It Out:
    • In Lilo & Stitch 2, Pleakley dresses up as a pretty girl to help make Nani jealous and get her to take notice of David.
    • In the "Wishy-Washy" episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Lilo wishes that David was smarter so Nani would find him more attractive, which backfires as Nani is turned off by David appearing as too smart, and by the episode's end, Nani is glad to have the old David back.
  • Cool Big Bro: By the end of the film he is this to Lilo, as a member of her and Stitch's Ohana, and in the montage is seen taking part in family vacations with Lilo, Nani, and Stitch.
  • Demoted to Extra: This happens to him in Leroy & Stitch, when he only appears at the end, with no speaking lines, to take part in the family portrait, which includes Mertle Edmonds and all of Jumba's experiments.
  • Dogged Nice Guy: David wants to impress Nani and be more than friends with her but she gently lets him down because her personal life is too busy for a date. David understands that being Lilo's guardian is more important to Nani than being with him, so he decides to help her as a friend until she's in a more stable position to date him. Lilo does innocently reveal that Nani is attracted to him, inadvertently confirming that Nani isn't against the idea of dating David, it's just something that she's not ready for right now.
  • Four-Temperament Ensemble: Sanguine: kind, gentle, adventurous, and reliable, but sometimes shy.
  • I Take Offense to That Last One: Inverted in the original movie.
    Lilo: [Nani] likes your butt and fancy hair. I read her diary.
    David: (excitedly) She thinks it's fancy?
  • Lovable Jock: A muscular Surfer Dude who’s a loyal friend to Lilo, Nani, and their ohana.
  • Mr. Fanservice: Nani apparently likes his butt and his "fancy hair". And he almost never wears a shirt, at least in the first film.
  • Nice Guy: He's very kind to Lilo and genuinely wants to help Nani with her family. On top of that, he is romantic to Nani, brotherly to Lilo, and is just a friendly, patient, polite, and understanding type of guy.
  • Satellite Love Interest: For the most part, his character revolves around his relationship with Nani. Even in Stitch Has a Glitch, his subplot has him trying to win over Nani, which contributes nothing of note to the main plot.
  • Shrinking Violet: Romantically, he's still quite bashful when it comes to dating Nani.
  • Unfazed Everyman: A UFO splashes down right behind him, and Nani and Lilo emerge from it along with a gaggle of aliens. No worries!
    Lilo: Hey, David! Can you give us a lift to shore?
    David: Well, OK, but I'll have to make two trips.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: He is a surfer who lives in Hawaii.
  • Will They or Won't They?: Likes Nani but is often awkward around her. Lilo's comments make it worse. Nani also doesn't seem to have time for a real boyfriend, since she's already struggling to keep a job and take care of her little sister. So while she seems to like David, she also knows she isn't emotionally available. They are, however, dating by the time of Stitch Has a Glitch.

"Let me illuminate to you [Nani] the precarious situation in which you have found yourself. I am the one they call when things go wrong, and things have indeed gone wrong."

Voiced by: Ving Rhames (films and X-300/Spooky's illusion of him in The Series), Terrence C. Carson (Lilo & Stitch: Trouble in Paradise, Lilo & Stitch: Hawaiian Adventure/Hawaiian Discovery), Kevin Michael Richardson (Lilo & Stitch: The Series), Richard Epcar (Stitch & Ai; uncredited)
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch | Stitch! The Movie | The Series | Leroy & Stitchnote  | Stitch & Ai
Appearances in other media: Disney Sorcerer's Arena | The Simpsons in Plusaversarynote  | Chibi Tiny Tales | Disney Speedstormnote 

A social worker and former CIA agent with a history of dealing with extraterrestrials, including the Galactic Federation. In The Series, he adopts Shush (Experiment 234) to assist him.


  • Anti-Villain: Of the "only the villain because he's antagonistic to the main characters" variety. This says a lot, considering "government agent who's there to break up a loving family" isn't an archetype known for its moral fiber. He's genuinely just doing, to his knowledge, what he thinks will let Lilo grow up in a good environment, and he's very willing to give Nani a chance to prove she can handle Lilo; when the time comes that it seems he will have to take Lilo away to foster care, he is genuinely regretful and apologetic, though not before giving Nani an earful regarding her apparent inability to keep Lilo out of danger.
  • Bald Head of Toughness: He's tough on Nani throughout the film in terms of her ability to take care of her little sister Lilo, threatening to take her away if things get out of hand. Subverted as he softens towards Nani and Lilo at the end of the film and bonds with their blended family, showing up in later installments of the franchise as an ally. He is later revealed to be a former CIA agent who helped stop an alien threat, but subverted since, according to the Grand Councilwoman, he actually had hair back when he was in that tougher job.
  • Baritone of Strength: He has a very deep, booming voice, which fits his large, intimidatingly muscular appearance. "I am the one they call when things go wrong"; when said with his deep voice, you'd better believe it!
  • Brutal Honesty:
    • He gets right to the point when briefing Nani about his social worker visits:
      Cobra Bubbles: Let me illuminate to you the precarious situation in which you have found yourself. I am the one they call... [Glasses Pull] when things go wrong. And things have indeed gone wrong.
    • Later, after Nani was fired from her job as a waitress:
      Cobra Bubbles: Thus far you have been adrift in the sheltered harbor of my patience, but I cannot tolerate you being jobless. Do I make myself clear?
      Nani: Perfectly.
      Cobra Bubbles: (turns his gaze to Lilo) And next time I see that dog, I want him to be a model citizen. Capisce?
      Lilo: Uh... yes?
      Cobra Bubbles: (To Nani) New job. (To Lilo) Model citizen. (Puts his sunglasses back on and one of the lenses pops out.) Good day.
    • He really outdoes himself when he finally loses patience with Nani.
      Cobra Bubbles: IS THIS WHAT SHE NEEDS? It seems clear to me that you need her a lot more than she needs you!
  • The Cameo: In The Simpsons in Plusaversary, where he's seen in Moe's Tavern having a drink with Fat Tony, which has a lot of implications about a(n "ex"-)CIA agent in cahoots with a mafia boss.
  • The Comically Serious: How calm he stays is for comedic effect.
  • Demoted to Extra: A major character in the first movie, he doesn't show up much in The Series with about two appearances at best. He didn't even bother to show up for the Grand Finale (though Lilo does attempt to contact him, and his voice is heard on the answering machine). He is also nowhere to be seen in Stitch Has a Glitch.
  • Embarrassing Last Name: His full name is Cobra Bubbles. Lampshaded when Nani meets him:
    Cobra Bubbles: Are you the guardian in question?
    Nani: Yes. I'm Nani, nice to meet you Mr...
    Cobra Bubbles: Bubbles.
    Nani: Mr. Bubbles? That's a strange...
    Cobra Bubbles: Yes, I know.
  • Fluffy the Terrible: "Cobra Bubbles" may or may not be his real name, but it says everything you need to know about the movie's worldview.
  • Glasses Pull: During his "the man they call when things go wrong" speech.
  • Guile Hero: Would you believe he managed to save the world by convincing aliens that mosquitoes were an endangered species?
  • Hero Antagonist: Somewhat in the original movie. He's only an antagonist in that he tries to take Lilo away, but only because he wants to make sure Lilo is safe. That goes away when the Councilwoman declares that the family is under her guardianship. Cobra says he'll explain it at headquarters and becomes a family friend.
  • Hero of Another Story: He and the Councilwoman reveal that when he was younger, he worked for the CIA. Later, he tells Nani that he saved the Earth by convincing aliens that mosquitoes are endangered, so that everything that they feed on, including humans, would be left unharmed.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: Who would have guessed he was voiced by Ving Rhames? Averted in The Series, though.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Cobra makes a series of good points during his Brutal Honesty assessment of Nani, so much that she agrees with each one:
    • She left Lilo at home alone by accident — Cobra doesn't know that Nani went to pick Lilo up from hula class, but Lilo left and locked herself in — and left the stove on, while Lilo is exhibiting Troubling Unchildlike Behavior. Even though it's obvious that Lilo isn't being abused, he tells Nani bluntly that this isn't an acceptable living environment.
    • Nani can't keep Lilo if she's lost her job. She needs a form of stable income. Cue a Failure Montage of Nani trying to find employment.
    • While Nani is making an effort to not lose Lilo, the Promotion to Parent is overwhelming her, and he has to think of what's best for her sister. Nani even says the same thing when Lilo asks if there's anything more they can do.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he does come off as a cold and somewhat unfriendly individual when we first see him, he is shown to be sympathetic toward Nani's plight, and is genuinely apologetic about having to take Lilo away from her. He also does have a genuine concern for Lilo and is doing not only his job but what from a logical point of view would be best for Lilo (based on the information he has). When he sees things from a closer point of view, he's supportive of Lilo keeping Stitch and helps the family stay together.
    Cobra: I know you're trying, Nani. But you need to think about what's best for Lilo, even if it removes you from the picture. I'll be back tomorrow morning for Lilo. I'm sorry.
  • Knuckle Tattoos: His right hand has "Cobra" tattooed on his knuckles.
  • The Men in Black: Double Subversion. He dresses like a MIB despite being only a social worker making sure Nani takes care of Lilo, but at the end of the movie, we discover that he used to be a CIA agent responsible for dealing with alien visitors. In The Series, he is involved with the government, but on an occasional basis such as during Earth-threatening crises. And in Stitch & Ai, the second episode of which was his first new appearance in years, he is clearly working with the CIA again when we see him communicating with another agent.
  • Mirror Character: He has a lot in common with the Grand Councilwoman, from appearance (larger than the average person and bald) to demeanor (stoic and serious) to occupation (representative of a powerful government organization) to a role in the story (both are trying to take one of the title characters with them for "their own good"). When they finally cross paths at the end of the film, they realize they know each other and work as a team to both keep Lilo and Stitch together and come up with a plausible cover story for their superiors.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: His first name is Cobra. Do we really need to say anything else? His surname though...
  • Papa Wolf:
    • Even though Lilo and Nani's parents are deceased, he does what he can to check up on the family, making sure that Lilo's basic needs are satisfactory and adequate, despite his initial displeasure at his first impression of the household:
      Cobra (to Nani): Let me illuminate to you the precarious situation in which you have found yourself: I am the one they call when things have gone wrong, and things have indeed gone wrong.
      Cobra (hands his contact card to Lilo): Call me next time you're left here alone.
    • He is upset when he arrives at the ruins of Nani's devastated house:
      Nani: No! You're not taking her!
      Cobra: You're making this harder than it needs to be.
      Nani: You don't know what you're doing! She needs me!
      Cobra: Is this what she needs? It seems clear to me you need her a lot more than she needs you!
    • He eventually reminds Lilo that by purchasing Stitch at the shelter, Lilo is Stitch's legal owner. He also helps rebuild Nani's house and pays friendly visits to the family during the major holidays.
  • Parental Substitute: He becomes one of the family, according to the photo montage at the end. Cobra can be a parent to both Lilo and Nani, now that he's no longer on their case.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: As mentioned under Jerk with a Heart of Gold above, while he can come across as cold and unfriendly, everything he does is not out of any kind of malicious intent, but what he honestly believes is in Lilo's best interest. He even gives Nani more chances to keep Lilo than one would expect of a government agent because he sympathizes with Nani and her desire to keep the only family she has left with her. Near the end of the first movie, he reminds Lilo that she bought Stitch at the shelter and Lilo shows her ownership deed to the Grand Councilwoman just as she is about to take Stitch back to prison. When the Councilwoman declares that the family is under galactic protection, Cobra only makes a comment that it will be hard to explain to headquarters but he supports it wholeheartedly.
  • Scary Black Man: Gives the impression of one in order to keep those he looks over in line. He might've genuinely been one while working for the CIA.
    Lilo: You don't look like a social worker.
    Cobra: I'm a special classification.
    Lilo: Did you ever kill anyone?
    Cobra: ...We're getting off the subject.
  • The Stoic: Is almost always calm, even under pressing circumstances.
  • When He Smiles: Whenever he does smile, it makes him look downright fatherly. Sort of cute, in fact.
  • Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: When Nani mentions that he has a strange name, he interrupts her with a quick "Yes, I know." He must get that a lot. Then again, it could be an agent codename from his days as a CIA agent...

    Mertle Edmonds 

Mildred Pearl "Mertle" Edmonds

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mertle_edmonds_and_gigi.jpg
Seen with her "dog", Gigi.
"What do you want, Weirdlo?"

Voiced by: Miranda Paige Walls (Lilo & Stitch and Lilo & Stitch: Trouble in Paradise), Liliana Mumy (all sequel films and Lilo & Stitch: The Series), Grey DeLisle (as a teenager in "Skip")
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch | Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch | Stitch! The Movie | The Series | Leroy & Stitch
Appearances in other media: Disney Crossy Road | Chibi Tiny Tales | Disney Speedstormnote 

A spoiled rich girl and Lilo's rival/enemy who is perhaps the most universally despised character in the series. She eventually adopts Gigi (Experiment 007) as a pet.


  • Alpha Bitch: She hates Lilo because she is "too weird" for her. That, and she's spoiled rotten by her mother. It's implied that she gets her nasty side from her aunt, and has an inferiority complex. In an interesting variation, she looks more like a stereotypical nerd than Lilo. Despite this, Lilo still considers her a "friend".
  • Ascended Extra: Her role in the original film was rather minimal, only appearing in three scenes where she is more or less portrayed as just a classmate and acquaintance of Lilo's. Lilo & Stitch: The Series greatly expanded her role to being Lilo's rival, portraying her as a minor antagonist in several episodes.
  • Balloon Belly: In "Slick", she gets a huge belly after showing her Big Eater side.
  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: She is usually seen wearing a green T-shirt that stops above her belly button.
  • Bespectacled Cutie: Subverted in that she looks like an adorably sweet bespectacled girl, but she's actually the Alpha Bitch.
  • Big Eater: She ate seventeen servings of shave ice in "Slick". Not that this didn't come back to haunt her, though.
  • The Bully: She's very cruel to Lilo, even for the pettiest of reasons. Her first appearance went as far as to drive Lilo to suicidal depression, and when she's at her worst, she's an outright villain wanting to murder Lilo out of spite.
  • Bullying a Dragon: She frequently antagonizes and picks on the titular protagonist, despite the fact that she has Stitch and several other alien allies that can fight her corner for her. Even Lilo herself has demonstrated on more than one occasion that she's perfectly capable of laying the smackdown on Mertle whenever she gets on her bad side. Despite this, Mertle continues to act like a jerk towards Lilo.
  • Disappeared Dad: Her father Karl left sometime during The Series. It is a touchy subject for her.
  • Evil Redhead: Of the bratty type.
  • Fantastic Racism: She's an extreme xenophobe who hates anything she considers "weird", whether it be the experiments (except Gigi), Lilo's ragdoll Scrump, or just anyone who does not have the same interests as her.
  • Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Downplayed; Mertle wears glasses but acts like an Alpha Bitch of a bully rather than a villain (most of the time).
  • Four-Temperament Ensemble: Choleric: Leader, impatient, conceited, and sarcastic.
  • Flanderization: While she was the Alpha Bitch in the original film and Stitch Has a Glitch, she's more spoiled and snobbish than mean-spirited and her initial viewing of Lilo as "weird" was not unfounded due to Lilo's inappropriate behavior. She's even shown to get along with Lilo a little better in the sequel. In The Series and its films, she's more of a bratty Jerkass than ever for no real reason. Although given that her father was mentioned in Stitch Has a Glitch but is said to have left sometime before Leroy & Stitch, this may be justified, as her father's abrupt departure suggests that she simply Took a Level in Jerkass.
  • Freudian Excuse: Leroy & Stitch hints at her having issues with the absence of her father, seeing as she manages to get even more snappish when the subject is brought up.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: It's shown in Lilo & Stitch: The Series that her "friends" (Elena, Teresa, and Yuki) secretly dislike Mertle, largely because of her mean and bossy attitude, despite the fact that they hang out with her instead of Lilo.
  • Growling Gut: As a result of eating a ton of shave ice, her gut can be heard gurgling before she rushes off to vomit at the end of "Slick".
  • Hate Sink: Mertle only exists as an unsympathetic bully who repeatedly kicks the dog by insulting Lilo and her mother, so that viewers can root more for Lilo. She, along with Dr. Hämsterviel, are the sole black-leaning characters in a Grey-and-Gray Morality-themed series.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Somewhat; at the end of Leroy & Stitch, she goes to be in the family portrait with Lilo's extended ʻohana, but insists that it's only because Gigi wanted to do it. The fact that she so specifically stated that and is later smiling in the actual photo, implies that she wanted to do it too. It seems that, ever so slowly, she's on her way to being a nicer person. However, she still thinks Lilo is weird, but seems to have accepted that.
  • Hypocrite: Hates Lilo and the aliens for being weird, but is apparently not above working with them for her own benefit. She also even adopts Hämsterviel at one point, who's made no attempts to hide his origins or the fact that he can talk.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: As much of an unlikable brat she is, there are moments that she's correct, albeit in a bratty way. Lilo does act odd and out of the norm that is looked down upon, and Lilo does invade her space even though Mertle wants some privacy.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Never nice to Lilo, even at times when she saves her from the Experiment of the Day. Notable examples include "Mr. Stenchy" and "Holio".
  • Kick the Dog: Many of her actions to Lilo. Mertle outright tells Lilo that as a dancer she will never be anything like her mother. Granted, Lilo had every right to react the way she did considering it was reasonably offensive, but it could also be that Mertle had some amount of respect for Lilo's mother. She could've just said that to get under Lilo's skin.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Whenever bad things do happen to her, she deserves it usually. One example is when she harshly rejects Lilo's apology and threatens to run her over with her trike. Prompting Stitch to knock Mertle over and steal it.
  • My Nayme Is: Her name is a unique spelling of the word "Myrtle", being spelled with another "e" in place of the "y." Despite this, Disney+'s captions for Lilo & Stitch: The Seriesnote  and the film's first official Monopoly game "correct" her name to "Myrtle", though it was corrected to "Mertle" for the second version. Archive of Our Own also previously used the "Myrtle" spelling, but they too have since corrected it.
  • Never My Fault: In one episode, she gets a charm bracelet with an experiment pod on it. Lilo tells her not to get it wet because it contained Holio (606), who has the power to transform into a black hole. Not believing her, she purposely activates it and has her house eaten by it, and she blames Lilo for the whole fiasco.
  • People Puppets: Was used as one by Hämsterviel in one episode via a mind control device. Oddly, it couldn't override her disdain for Lilo, which Lilo managed to use to incapacitate her.
  • Pet the Dog: As mean as she is to both Lilo and Stitch, Mertle does care for her "dog" Gigi (who is in fact Experiment 007).
  • Rich Bitch: Implied, she certainly acts like it and her mom throws some rather lavish parties for her. They also own multiple houses.
  • The Rival: To Lilo. They get into several fights, often face each other in direct competitions, and also make bets around said competitions.
  • Rival Turned Evil: At her worst moments, such as in "Yapper", where she gives Stitch some coffee to get him disqualified.
  • Speak Ill of the Dead: As if bullying Lilo wasn't enough, she even insults her deceased mother; many viewers have wondered why Lilo hasn't called that snot-nosed brat out on this.
  • Spoiled Brat: Presumably because her mother always dotes on her.
  • Then Let Me Be Evil: When she's at her worst, such as "Yapper".
  • Too Dumb to Live: Wow, Mertle. Even if you don't like Lilo, why did you have to activate an experiment capable of bringing on The End of the World as We Know It even after she tells you not to?!
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Her flanderized Jerkass tendencies in The Series may actually be her way of dealing with her father leaving by taking it out on Lilo.
  • Ungrateful Bitch: Lilo saves her from runaway experiments on a number of occasions, but Mertle never shows her any gratitude for it. The only notable exceptions are in "Yapper", when she decides to let Lilo have the trophy for saving Gigi from Gantu, and again in Leroy & Stitch for saving both her and Gigi from Dr. Hämsterviel.

    Elena, Teresa, and Yuki

Appearances in other media: Chibi Tiny Talesnote 

Mertle's posse of three sycophantic lackeys. They follow her everywhere and also attend the hālau hula that she and Lilo go to. They weren't named until The Series.


  • Character Catchphrase: Their drawn-out, sarcastic "Yeah!"
  • Depending on the Writer: How nasty they overall are; sometimes they are as bad as Mertle, and other times they are noticeably uncomfortable with her bullying of Lilo.
  • Everyone Has Standards: A minor case in Stitch Has a Glitch; they tell Mertle not to joke about Lilo's dead mom. They are mean but have limits.
  • Fair Weather Friends: These three girls are sycophants who usually hang out with whoever has the cool and/or fun things at the moment. They don't like Mertle, but they normally hang out with her and do things on her behalf because the well-off Mertle has all the good stuff while the weird, poorer Lilo has (or, post-original film, seems to have) nothing. However, whenever Lilo gets something that does interest them, then they will either allow her to join their posse or even leave Mertle for Lilo, at least for the time being.
  • Flat Character: All three of them are this. They don't have many distinguishing traits to differentiate them by and are normally just there to back Mertle and fill out Moses' hula class. Elena, in particular, doesn't seem to have any real distinguishing traits unlike the other two girls, who at least have one particular trait to each of them.
  • Girl Posse: For Mertle, blindly following her words and actions at all times. They probably would get along with Lilo if they actually got to know her.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • Even though they're friends with Mertle instead of Lilo, all three girls are revealed to secretly dislike Mertle, largely because of her mean and bossy attitude.
    • Yuki is often shown to be rather fond of hockey.
    • More subtly, Teresa seems to have some interest in technology, drawing a picture of a robot in "Cannonball" and helping Mertle cheat in "Spike" using an Internet-connected laptop and wireless voice communication.
  • Hidden Heart of Gold: It's revealed in one episode that they secretly hate Mertle. They let their guard down once Mertle is not around.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Even after Lilo saves them, they're still harsh towards the latter.
  • Named in the Sequel: They were so unimportant in the original film that they weren't even named. Lilo & Stitch: The Series gave them their names in the episode "Clip", although it was not specified who's who until later episodes. Disneytoon Studios gave all three of them completely different names for Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, but only Teresa's differing name was revealed.
  • No Full Name Given: Even after their given names were eventually revealed in The Series, none of their surnames were ever revealed.
  • Pet the Dog: As mean as they are, they tend to get more humanizing moments than Mertle.
    • They immediately try to hush up Mertle when she points out Lilo doesn't have a mother.
    • They suggested inviting Lilo to their tea party, and this is before they meet Mr. Stenchy.
    • They were sincerely interested in Lilo's idea for an alien alarm, even applauding her presentation.
  • Series Continuity Error: Teresa was called "Aleka" by Moses in Stitch Has a Glitch; Jess Winfield said that Disneytoon Studios, who decided to disregard the TV show when producing their film, came up with their own names for the girls.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: If what Mertle’s mom says is true, they’re the bad ones, and likely the ones who influenced Mertle’s current behavior.

    Grand Councilwoman 

The Grand Councilwoman of the United Galactic Federation

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lilo_disneyscreencaps_com_5.jpg
"Take note of this. This creature is hereby sentenced to life in exile, a sentence that shall be henceforth served out here, on Earth. And as caretaker of the alien lifeform Stitch, this family is hereby under the protection of the United Galactic Federation. We'll be checking in now and then."

Voiced by: Zoe Caldwell (2002-2006, 2010), Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (Stitch!), Laura Post (Stitch & Ai)
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch | Stitch! The Movie | The Seriesnote  | Leroy & Stitch | Stitch! | Stitch & Ai
Appearances in other media: Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep | Disney Crossy Road | Chibi Tiny Tales | Disney Speedstormnote 

The strict, but fair leader of the United Galactic Federation and its council.


  • Aliens Speaking English: Probably justified, since she leads what's essentially the alien equivalent to the United Nations and is likely multilingual.
  • Ambiguously Evil: Comes off as this at the beginning, in that she opposes the main characters. She didn't have much regard for other lifeforms and suggested gassing a planet. What makes it really ambiguous is that while the opposition towards Stitch comes across as a case of Hero Antagonist, the gassing was suggested before she knew that the planet was inhabited with "endangered" species which raises questions about whether she would still go through with it if she knew.
    • It's made clear throughout the film that the Councilwoman and all of her peers know very little about humans. In the beginning, she has the impression that they're "simple" life forms and not particularly intelligent, and in fact, the planet would have been destroyed already were it not being saved to preserve the supposedly endangered mosquito. It's likely that she initially thought of humans kind of like we might think of insects and thus wasn't that affected by the idea of gassing them.
  • Badass Cape: When presiding over Jumba's trial.
  • Bald of Authority: She is the level-headed leader of the United Galactic Federation who has no hair on her head, seemingly in part because she is an alien.
  • Big Good: Downplayed. As the leader of the Galactic Alliance, she's this for the galaxy. As the Federation overlaps into The Empire and treats pre-hyperdrive civilizations as vermin, is more of a Hero Antagonist.
  • Commonality Connection: Shares this with Cobra. He's willing to go to any length to protect Earth's inhabitants. She's willing to go to any lengths to protect Federation citizens and their interests.
  • Commuting on a Bus: After the original film, she only makes on-and-off appearances. In the main continuity, she was absent for Lilo & Stitch 2, appears in the second half for Stitch! The Movie, appears in only one episode in The Series, then appears a handful of times within Leroy & Stitch.
  • Declaration of Protection: She makes a formal decree that as Stitch's caretakers, Lilo and Nani are now under her guard and the protection of the United Galactic Federation, informing Bubbles that they will be in every once in a while to check in on them.
  • Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": We do not know what her real name is. She's only referred to by the role she has as leader of the Galactic Council.
  • The Greys: Downplayed; unlike the usual portrayal of the grays, she's far taller than a human.
  • Hero Antagonist: In the first movie. She wants to capture and banish Stitch, which given she has only seen him be a total monster is understandable. She ceases the antagonist part when she finds out there is in fact good in Stitch.
  • High Collar of Doom: Not quite, but the large two-pronged ornament she wears around her neck suggests one.
  • Iron Lady: Runs the Galactic Federation with a usually stern demeanor, and rarely loses her cool.
  • Little "No": Gives one when she sees that Stitch will not crash into water when he reaches Earth.
  • Loophole Abuse: Uses this shamelessly in order to keep Lilo and Stitch from being separated at the end of the film. Since Stitch had only been sentenced to exile, she declared that he would serve out his exile on Earth under the supervision of Lilo and Nani.
  • Mirror Character: To Cobra Bubbles. They both serve a high-level government (the United Galactic Federation and the CIA, respectively), have bald heads, seem villainous but fall into the Hero Antagonist camp, and are ultimately Reasonable Authority Figures who specialize in Loophole Abuse. It's lampshaded when the two chat at the end of the movie and reveal that they're actually on friendly terms, as they met at Roswell decades prior:
    Cobra: This isn't going to be easy to explain back at headquarters...
    Grand Councilwoman: (With a laugh) I know what you mean.
  • Not So Stoic: Despite keeping a cool head most of the time, she noticeably loses her composure and is visibly enraged when Stitch escapes into hyperspace.
  • Parental Substitute: Stitch treats her as a maternal figure in The Series.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Despite not being tolerant of repeated failure, she's only trying to do what's best. However, she can and will use loopholes to go against what the council has decided if it's the right thing to do.
  • Scary Dogmatic Aliens: Was willing to gas the entire planet Earth all to prevent Stitch causing localized trouble on it. Cobra Bubbles explains that he saved the Earth years prior, by convincing the Galactic Alliance that mosquitoes are endangered, so that everything that they feed on, including humans, would be left unharmed. Given that she remembered him as a person, and that he had hair back then, shows just how little she thought of humanity or the planet full of life.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: She proposed that Earth be gassed when Stitch landed there, but was stopped by Pleakley, who claimed that Earth was a protected wildlife reserve for mosquitoes.
  • You Have Failed Me: The Galactic Federation has an extremely low tolerance for failure—when she has to show up and take care of things herself, the whole scene is her firing and prosecuting everyone who failed with extreme prejudice.

    Mrs. Hasagawa 

Lynne Hasagawa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrs_hasagawa.png
Voiced by: Amy Hill
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch | Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch | The Series | Leroy & Stitch
Appearances in other media: Disney Crossy Road | Disney Speedstormnote 

An old Japanese-American lady that runs a fruit stand and owns a large number of experiments as pets. Stitch mispronounces her surname as "Hagasagawasa".


  • Ascended Extra: In the original film, she only appears in one brief scene during the "(You're the) Devil in Disguise" montage when Nani tries to get employment from her and Stitch dances right into Mrs. Hasagawa, causing them to get stuck in a watermelon. Lilo & Stitch: The Series gave her a much more recurring role, even getting a B-plot in a crossover episode and becoming the main focus in the first half of a Two Shorts episode.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Some of her behavior gives off vibes of this. In "Mrs. Hasagawa's Cats", she thought that Stitch's alien cousins were cats.
  • Crazy Cat Lady: A far more sympathetic example than most. She has collected a large number of alien experiments that, due to either poor eyesight or senility, she thinks are cats. Lilo and Stitch tried to remove them, but then decided against it when they realized Mrs. Hasagawa really did care for them and was taking care of them as well as anyone else could.
  • Fluffy Tamer: Her "cats" are all experiments that she managed to reform off-screen. They are Doubledip (002), Gotchu (031), Forehead (044), Hocker (051), Zawp (077), Mulch (111), Shredder (134), Pix (214), Boomer (288), Cloudy (320), Manners (358), Woody (507), Wrapper (521), Blowhard (533), and Derrick (566).
  • Kindhearted Cat Lover: Combines this with a touch of Crazy Cat Lady. Or at least, from her perspective — her "cats" are actually superpowered alien genetic experiments, but she's too blind and/or senile to notice.
  • Miniature Senior Citizens: She's barely taller than Lilo.
  • Nice Girl: Hasagawa is kind and caring, enough so to reform fifteen alien creatures bio-engineered for evil all on her own without even knowing what they really are.
  • No Full Name Given: In the original film and throughout much of The Series, we only knew her last name. It wasn't until "Shush" (the seventh-to-last episode of The Series) did we (and Lilo and Stitch) learn that her first name is Lynne.
  • Offscreen Moment of Awesome: How did a lady like her find, adopt, and tame fifteen alien creatures?!
  • Scatterbrained Senior: She is introduced in her first movie appearance completely not understanding Nani is applying for her help wanted posting.

Voiced by: Susan Hegarty (Lilo & Stitch), Grey DeLisle (Lilo & Stitch: The Series)
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch | The Series
Appearances in other media: Disney Crossy Road | Disney Speedstormnote 

The operator of Aloha Animal Rescue, Kokaua Town's local animal shelter.


  • All There in the Script: Her name is revealed on Lilo's adoption paper as the adoption magistrate. Otherwise, her name is never spoken by anyone, and the original film's credits only refer to her as "Rescue Lady". The only other media to use her proper name is Disney Speedstorm.
  • Redhead In Green: She has red hair and wears green overalls in all her appearances.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: She's the person who oversaw Lilo's adoption of Stitch. The rest of the film and the franchise would have turned out very differently if she did not allow Lilo to adopt him, let alone even take him into the shelter.

    Lilo and Nani's parents 

Mr. and Mrs. Pelekai

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lilo_&_stitch_photo_motif.png
Seen in a photo with their daughters at the end of Lilo & Stitch, with a photo of Stitch underneath it.
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch | Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitchnote  | The Seriesnote 
Appearances in other media: Disney Dreamlight Valleynote 

The late parents of Lilo and Nani. They were only seen in photographs sporadically throughout the franchise, except in The Series episode "Remmy" where they make their only "physical" appearance in Lilo's dream.


  • Deceased Parents Are the Best: Though they have yet to be given too much detail, what we do know about them is that they were very loving to Nani and Lilo. But to make things worse, this is one of the most realistic examples of this trope, as their absence caused Lilo and Nani's lives to fall apart to the point that they were almost forcibly separated until Stitch came along.
  • Good Parents: From what little we hear of them, they appeared to be very kind to their daughters, and Lilo's father in particular always said that no one should ever be left behind in a family.
  • No Full Name Given: On account of the fact that we only know their surname through their daughters.
  • Precious Photo: They're on Lilo's and it unfortunately gets damaged (though thankfully not destroyed).
  • Posthumous Characters: Died before the events of the first film. From what can be gathered, they were apparently killed in a car accident during a bad rainstorm.
  • Riddle for the Ages: Exactly why they decided to take a drive while it was raining can only be guessed. Likewise, the specifics of their fatal car accident beyond the weather at the time have never been revealed.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: In Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, a photo of Mrs. Pelekai when she was her younger daughter's age shows that she looked almost exactly like Lilo, but with a hairstyle similar to Nani's.
  • True Companions: The first time Lilo said the ʻohana motto in the original film, she prefaced it with "Dad said," suggesting that it was her father who coined the phrase in-universe.
  • Unnamed Parents: We only know their surname through Lilo. There was also a deleted scene where Lilo and Stitch visit their gravestone, but all it said in the storyboards was "Pelekai".
  • The Voiceless: They did not speak at all in their sole "physical" appearance.

    Scrump 

Scrump

Seen being held up by Lilo.
Voiced by: N/A (normally), Nancy Cartwright (when possessed by Experiment 375/Phantasmo)
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch | Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch | Stitch! The Movie | The Series | Leroy & Stitch | Stitch!note 
Appearances in other media: Disney Magical Worldnote  | Disney Crossy Road | Disney Magic Kingdomsnote  | Disney Speedstormnote 

Lilo's personally handmade rag doll. She is very attached to "her".


  • Abnormal Plushies: Well, rag doll, but Scrump is a humanoid figure handmade by Lilo from green fabric with stick-up straw hair, mismatched button eyes, and an uneven Mouth Stitched Shut.
  • Ascended Extra: At least in terms of marketing, this inanimate object has been receiving a ton of merchandise and promotional imagery in The New '10s onward, usually being paired up with Stitch instead of Lilo.
  • Companion Cube:
    • To some extent for Lilo, due to her loneliness. She even refers to the doll as a girl.
    • On most merchandise and promotional imagery, "she" is this to Stitch, even though he interacted with the doll a small number of times in the franchise's canon, and these interactions are mostly neutral or passive at best.
  • Creepy Doll: To nearly everyone but Lilo. When Lilo first showed Scrump to Mertle and her gang, who have normal Barbie-esque dolls, they freaked out and silently ran off when Lilo was describing the doll without paying attention to them. Stitch also didn't seem too pleased with the doll during Phantasmo (375)'s possession of "her", calling Scrump a "scary dolly".
  • Living Toys: Becomes this trope when possessed by Phantasmo (375). "She" was also possibly this in the original film itself; as Lilo carries Scrump for comfort as she walks back home (after having unintentionally scared off Mertle and her posse), Scrump briefly turns "her" head to the camera and smiles before "she" and Lilo are out of frame. (This was an Easter Egg added by the animators.)
  • Mouth Stitched Shut: (No, Stitch had nothing to with her mouth being sealed by threads.) Her design has this appearance. Oddly, when Phantasmo possessed Scrump, he was able to open "her" mouth with the stitches still sewn in front.
  • No Biological Sex: Being an inanimate object. Lilo treats the doll as female.
  • Security Blanket: Lilo tends to hold onto "her" for comfort whenever she's unhappy.
  • Series Mascot: Shares this status with protagonist Stitch in the years after the original continuity, thanks to all the merchandise "she" has gotten by The New '20s.
  • The Speechless: "She" is a non-sentient inanimate doll, after all.
  • Voodoo Doll: Actually plays this role for Lilo in Lilo & Stitch: Trouble in Paradise. Lilo pulls "her" out to defeat enemies in the game.
  • Wolverine Publicity: "She" gets a lot of merchandise and representation today and is paired up with Stitch frequently, with Disney claiming that he's very attached to Scrump. In the actual canon, the doll is only a minor element of Lilo's character, and Stitch is nowhere near as attached to the doll as Disney likes to make it out to be. He even viewed it negatively at least once.

Appearances: Lilo & Stitch | The Series
Appearance in other media: Disney Speedstormnote 

A shave ice server and store owner. His store and cart later become X-523/Slushy's one true place.


  • Ascended Extra: A minor case; his one scene in the original film is very brief and he speaks no lines. In The Series, he appears in a few episodes and speaks.
  • Race Lift: In the original film and for his Disney Speedstorm Crew Member icon, he appears to be Caucasian. In The Series, he has tanner skin and is Polynesian.
  • Thinking Out Loud: In "Shush", Lilo and Stitch find out that he speaks to himself when he's not serving customers as they, through the titular Experiment 234, eavesdrop on him calling himself lolo (crazy) for putting mango juice in his cart's coconut juice bin.

Appearances: Lilo & Stitch | The Series (appears in "Sinker")
Appearances in other media: Disney Friends | Disney Heroes: Battle Modenote  | Disney Dreamlight Valleynote  | Chibi Tiny Tales | Disney Speedstormnote 

A tropical saltwater fish that Lilo believes has the ability to control the weather. She feeds him a peanut butter sandwich every Thursday.


  • Artistic License – Animal Care: He is a wild saltwater fish who eats bread and peanut butter offered by a human without any ill effects. It should be obvious that you should never do this in real life.
  • Bit Character: He only appears for about a couple of seconds in the opening credits of the original film, and only appears again for a few more seconds in just one episode of The Series (plus gets a couple of mentions in a couple more episodes). In fact, he gets more screen time in one of the Chibi Tiny Tales shorts than his combined screen time in the actual Lilo & Stitch canon!
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Loves peanut butter sandwiches and will always accept Lilo's offerings.
  • Weather Manipulation:
    • Lilo believes he has this ability but he's really just a regular feral fish. However, after we first see Lilo emerge from the water after feeding him, the sky does begin to clear up.
    • In Disney Friends, the weather changes if Stitch successfully feeds Pudge a sandwich.
    • In the Chibi Tiny Tales short "All Hail Pudge!", he's depicted as sapient and is explicitly shown to actually have such powers, deliberately brewing up a storm when Lilo fails to feed him on time and only clearing things up when she feeds him his sandwich.

Appearances in other media: Disney Infinitynote  | Disney Crossy Road | Disney Magic Kingdomsnote  | Chibi Tiny Tales | Disney Speedstormnote 

A recurring, unnamed fat tourist who is always seen eating ice cream. No, let's be honest: he's seen attempting to eat ice cream.


  • Butt-Monkey: Doesn't possess the luck to get through his ice cream without losing it.
  • Fat Comic Relief: Has a noticeable pudge, and anytime he appears expect it to be a funny moment.
  • Hawaiian-Shirted Tourist: Though he doesn't wear one in the original film.
  • No Name Given: His actual name has never been revealed. He's called "Ice Cream Man" in video games including Disney Infinity,note  Disney Crossy Road, and Disney Speedstorm. Lilo described him as the "Sunburned Ice Cream Tourist" in an episode of The Series.
  • Recurring Extra: He's known as the guy who keeps losing his ice cream.
  • Running Gag: Something making him drop his ice cream before he gets to eat it.
  • The Stoic: Despite how often his ice cream gets destroyed, he's never seen fazed by it, and is rather emotionless otherwise.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: In Leroy & Stitch, he's seen at Kokaua Town's costume store where Morpholomew (Experiment 316) changes his appearance to look like Elvis Presley (specifically, as the singer appeared in Blue Hawaii).
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Almost always seen with a cone of ice cream, most often mint chocolate chip, in his hand.
  • Unlucky Extra: He just wants to eat his ice cream, but the franchise goes out of its way to find ways to make him drop or lose it before he can. That's the joke.
  • Victimized Bystander: He drops his ice cream any time he runs into Lilo. In the climax, the ice cream is knocked off by the wing of a passing spaceship.
  • The Voiceless: He's only spoken thrice: once in the Comic Zone comic "Sue-Whatsi?!?" ("I don't see any giant wave"), and twice in the Lilo & Stitch: The Series, in the episodes "Swirly" (clucking like a chicken after being hypnotized by Swirly and overhearing Mertle saying to Lilo, "You're a big chicken!") and "Baby-Fier" (yelling when he trips over Babyfier's pod and crying after Babyfier turns him into a baby).
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: A definite Fan Disservice example in the original film and some episodes of The Series. These scenes of him show just how badly sunburned he is.

Introduced in Disney's Stitch: Experiment 626

    Chopsuey (X-621) 

Chopsuey (Experiment 621)

Voiced by: Frank Welker
Appearances: Stitch: Experiment 626

A skinny, green koala-like experiment who is presumably an earlier prototype of either Stitch or Reuben. He has all of Stitch's abilities but is not as capable as his younger cousin.

Note that he is only called 621 in the game; the "Chopsuey" name comes from Leroy & Stitch, where it's shown in the credits' list of experiments.

All tropes and additional information relating to him can be found on the 6-Series experiments' character sheet.

Introduced in Lilo & Stitch: The Series

    Mr. Wong 

Mr. Wong

Voiced by: Clyde Kusatsu
Appearances: Lilo & Stitch: The Series

The strict, but fair owner of the Rental Hut on Lahui Beach where Nani works at in Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch and early season one of The Series.


  • Benevolent Boss: Despite being stern and a bit demanding of her (he has her work on her day off one time), he's a surprisingly reasonable guy, letting Nani take care of her sister when she gets into trouble and after Stitch accidentally destroys his hut, he still keeps Nani under his employ and allows her family to help rebuild it.
  • The Bus Came Back: After being Put on a Bus, he reappears in "Woops" as part of Pleakley's domino team, though he only says "Oh, brudda," when Pleakley decides to monologue just before he could place the final domino.
  • No Full Name Given: His first name was never revealed.
  • Put on a Bus: Only appears in a couple early first season episodesnote  and is mentioned in a couple more. He is removed from the show once Nani gets promoted to working under Mr. Jameson at the Birds of Paradise Hotel (although Mr. Wong still cameos in the intro's hula dance).

    Mrs. Edmonds 

Mrs. Edmonds

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrs_edmonds.jpg

Mertle's mother, she only appears in The Series. Quite the opposite of her daughter, as she is sweet and kind to Lilo.


  • Bespectacled Cutie: Just like her daughter she wears glasses that highlight her cute appearance, but unlike her daughter, she has the Nice Girl personality to complete the adorably endearing package.
  • Doting Parent: This is unfortunately why Mertle is such a brat.
  • Hartman Hips: Not too big, but still.
  • Glamorous Single Mother: Despite that her former husband, Karl, is no longer around, she has no trouble raising Mertle on her own (even though she should honestly discipline her daughter more) and is definitely well off.
  • Like Mother, Unlike Daughter: Her bratty daughter is absolutely nothing like her.
  • Nerds Are Sexy: She shares her daughter's appearance, but man, does she look attractive.
  • Nice Girl: Mrs. Edmonds is kind, polite, and courteous.
  • No Full Name Given: Her first name was never revealed.
  • Open-Minded Parent: She doesn't mind getting her head completely shaved by a living artificial alien furball in "Clip". Mertle herself, however, can't quite wrap her head around that.

    Officer Kahiko 

Officer Kahiko

A police officer working for Kokaua Town's police department in The Series who knows Lilo fairly well.


  • Donut Mess with a Cop: He is shown to be fond of donuts as seen in "Bonnie & Clyde" and "Shush". In the former episode, he mistakes the experiments' pods as donut holes and dunks them in coffee, activating them. In the latter, he eats some free samples at Kiki's Coffee Hut and requests several donuts before Stitch eats the remaining samples.
  • Friend to All Children: Very polite towards Lilo, even though she is enough of a nuisance that he has Nani on speed dial.
  • Hunk: He appears very fit for a police officer.
  • Nice Guy: Even when Lilo is misbehaving enough that he has to get involved, he still helps her out. He even grills steaks for her family when they rebuild the Rental Hut on the beach.
  • No Full Name Given: Kahiko is presumably his surname. Either way, his full name was never revealed.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: A strict, but fair police officer. When he was rightly convinced by Pleakley that Lilo and Stitch were not the real criminals in "Bonnie & Clyde", he made the human-"dog" duo return all the items the thieving experiment duo stole in the episode in order to make up for their actions.

    Mr. Jameson 

Mr. Jameson

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lilo_and_stitch_the_series_mr_jameson.png

A successful businessman who is seen in The Series. He owns several businesses on Kauai, including the Birds of Paradise Hotel. He's the father of Keoni and is Nani's employer in most episodes he appears in.


  • Doting Parent: He's a good father to Keoni.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: His first appearance in "Cannonball" has him kicking out Nani and David for trespassing at his hotel's pool. It's surprising that he doesn't recognize Nani when he hires her later in the show. He's also angrier in this episode compared to his later appearances.
  • Hunk: Lean, muscular, and has a square jaw? Yep, he has all those traits.
  • Nice Guy: A friendly guy for a businessman and a fair boss, although he does not take kindly to uninvited guests to his hotel's pool.
  • No Full Name Given: Unlike his son, his first name was never revealed.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Usually wears a pink polo shirt.

Appearances: Lilo & Stitch: The Series

A newlywed couple vacationing in Kauai for their honeymoon, they are recurring background characters in The Series. According to Jess Winfield, the couple are based on fellow executive producer Bobs Gannaway and his wife.


  • Butt Monkeys: Almost all of their appearances show them getting messed with by Stitch's cousins.

  • No Full Name Given: Their surname was never revealed.
  • Recurring Extras: They're usually seen just to get messed with by the experiments.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Charles likes to brag about how he's the vice president of some company.

Appearances: Lilo & Stitch: The Series | Leroy & Stitchnote 

A character introduced in the second season of The Series who is prominent in only two episodes while a background character in others. Accepted Lilo for who she is, and became her first human friend.


  • Audience Surrogate: She is one of these as she represents those who like "weird" things and would accept Lilo for who she is, which is what Victoria does in her debut.
  • Demoted to Extra: Only got two episodes centered around her, and one was her intro.
  • No Full Name Given: Her surname was never revealed.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: Her eyes represent her friendly personality.
  • Nice Girl: She's one of the few girls who try to get along with Lilo.
  • Tomboyish Ponytail: Downplayed; she doesn't look or act much like a tomboy even with her ponytail but she shares Lilo's unusual non-girly interests.
  • Van Helsing Hate Crime: "Snooty" had her doing this since she didn't know about the experiments and Snooty (Experiment 277) was constantly flying at her. Turns out he's a "Snot Vampire" and was attracted by her sinuses. Once Victoria realized he was harmless, she changed her tune.
  • Youthful Freckles: She's a sweet girl with freckles who befriends Lilo.

  • And Now for Someone Completely Different: All of Stitch's human companions before 2020 were young, sweet modern-day girls, and fans believed that would always be the case. Yamato changed all that, as he is an adult male army leader from Earth's past.
  • Not So Above It All: Stitch's cute, childish antics and charms actually amuse the warlord, enough to do fun things with the alien here and there.
