8!!Family Members
9!!!Numbuh 1's Family
10[[folder:Monty Uno]]
11'''Monty Uno'''
12
13Numbuh 1's father, obsessed with Sousaphone music and spending quality time with his son. Numbuh 1 is incredibly embarrassed by him, but loves him deep down. Voiced by Creator/FrankWelker as an adult and Creator/DaveWittenberg as a kid.
14----
15* ActionDad: [[spoiler:When recommissioned in ''WesternAnimation/OperationZERO'', he becomes a formidable ally to his son.]]
16* AffectionateNickname: "Nigel ol' bean," for his son.
17* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: His son views him as an embarrassing dad most of the time, though he does genuinely love him. Notably, he gets upset when their time fishing together is interrupted by Numbuh 86, as he was actually enjoying it for once.
18* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:He's the son of Grandfather, a HumanoidAbomination with fire powers. Father has Grandfather's appearance and powers but Monty does not, suggesting the possibility that he either does not have powers or doesn't use them.]]
19* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: A recommissioned Numbuh Zero remarks that he'd love some Blurpleberry Ice Cream, as it's "the closest thing to the Fourth Flavor [he's] ever tasted." The wording makes it unclear if he's actually had some Fourth Flavor to gauge it with or if he was simply saying that Blurpleberry is really, really good.]]
20* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler:His father, Grandfather, ruled the world as an EvilOverlord who he rose up against to save the world. He's recommissioned to deal with him when he's restored to power.]]
21* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:Recommissioned as Numbuh Zero for the second time in "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.".]]
22* BigGood: He fulfills this rule, more specifically in ''WesternAnimation/OperationZERO''. He is revealed to be [[spoiler:Numbuh 0, the founder of the modern age of the KND Organization. Likewise, he rises up against his evil father, Grandfather (who ruled the world as an EvilOverlord), to save the world]]. For extra bonus points, he's Numbuh 1's father.
23* BigOlEyebrows: His large eyebrows are designed to represent him being blind to the world around him.
24* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: He might be a BumblingDad, but he always tries to be a good father for Numbuh 1. [[spoiler:His own father used him and his brother as slave labor.]]
25* BumblingDad: Comes off as oblivious and dim-witted [[spoiler:due to the decommissioning.]]
26* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Abel to Father's Cain. He was good, while Father embraced the dark side due to being too cowardly to stand up to their dad.]]
27* {{Catchphrase}}: [[spoiler:As Numbuh Zero]], Monty is fond of the descriptive phrase "crackerjack".
28* ChekhovMIA: [[spoiler:The G:KND database lists the status of both him and his wife as "unknown". Considering the database otherwise knows the locations and identities of everyone else in the series that isn't actively hiding from the G:KND, it raises a few questions.]]
29* CoolShades: As [[spoiler:Numbuh Zero]], he wore sunglasses.
30* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's a real oblivious fellow, but underneath his dull wit is a surprising level of competence. [[spoiler:This is largely because he was Numbuh Zero, and his current personality is due to his memories of his childhood being erased.]]
31* TheFaceless: Initially had his face obscured, but his face was seen from the halfway point of "Operation: O.O.M.P.A.H." onward.
32* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In "Operation: Z.E.R.O.", he allowed himself to be decommissioned a second time in order to stop Grandfather.]]
33* MoralityPet: Downplayed. [[spoiler:He seems to be this to Grandfather, as he does like him as his son and considers him the favorite, but this doesn't mean Grandfather is willing to pull any punches.]]
34* MyHeroZero: [[spoiler:He ''is'' Numbuh Zero, so of course he's a hero called Zero.]]
35* ParentalFavoritism: His brother says his father always favored him.
36* ParentalObliviousness: One of the many things that seems to have escaped his notice is that his son is part of a top secret organization.
37* RefreshinglyNormalLifeChoice: [[spoiler:Monty Uno was the legendary Numbuh Zero who founded the Seventh Age of the KND Organization. A brave, crafty freedom fighter who rebelled against the tyranny of Grandfather, successfully leading a revolution that would destroy Grandfather's tapioca factories and liberate kids the world over. In the present, he's Nigel's father and happily helps the current Kids Next Door out once he's recommissioned. But after the events of "OPERATION: Z.E.R.O.", Monty chooses to return to being decommissioned, declaring that while he loves the KND, he has a new mission now: to be a loving father to his son.]]
38* RetiredBadass: [[spoiler:Is the grown up and decommissioned Numbuh Zero, a legendary member of the Kids Next Door who literally saved the entire world.]]
39* VillainousLineage: In "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E.", his brother mentions their great grandmother was evil. His father is also evil in "Operation: Z.E.R.O.".
40* WalkingSpoiler: He plays such a vital role in "Operation: Z.E.R.O." that it's hard to talk about his involvement there and in subsequent appearances without raising spoilers.
41* WhiteSheep: "Operation Z.E.R.O." reveals that he and Nigel are this to the Uno family, as they're related to [[spoiler:Grandfather and Father and the latter adopting the Delightful Children.]] Although in the [[spoiler:G:KND video Nigel might not be so innocent.]]
42[[/folder]]
43[[folder:Mrs. Uno]]
44'''Mrs. Uno'''
45
46Numbuh 1's mother, who is often found by her son to be as embarrassing as his father. Voiced by Creator/JenniferHale.
47----
48* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: As with his dad, Nigel is embarrassed of her most of the time.
49* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:Both she and her husband get recommissioned to see their son being accepted into the Galactic Kids Next Door in "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.".]]
50* ChekhovMIA: [[spoiler:The G:KND database lists the status of both her and her husband as "unknown". Considering the database otherwise knows the locations and identities of everyone else in the series that isn't actively hiding from the G:KND, it raises a few questions.]]
51* OutOfFocus: She appears less frequently than Nigel's dad.
52* RetiredBadass: [[spoiler:Like her husband, she's a former Kids Next Door operative. She was once Numbuh 999, the first female operative of the KND.]]
53* UnnamedParent: She isn't given a first name.
54[[/folder]]
55!!!Numbuh 2's Family
56[[folder:Tommy Gilligan]]
57[[quoteright:113:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Tommy_knd.png]]
58'''Tommy Gilligan''' (The Tommy)/ formerly '''Numbuh T'''
59
60Numbuh Two's little brother, Tommy is an excitable child ready to fight adult tyranny. Unfortunately, circumstances effectively halted his KND career. He now fights solo as "The Tommy". Voiced by Creator/DeeBradleyBaker.
61----
62* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Numbuh 2 regards him as such.
63* BadassNormal: Not that Kids Next Door operatives are special in a unique sense usually, but Tommy stands out for managing to beat Father at least twice through outsmarting him (once while still undergoing training), and then holding his own in his focus episodes after losing operative status. All when he doesn't quite have the same 2x4 technological skills of his older brother or the combat capability of most other operatives.
64* BigBrotherWorship: His debut episode establishes that he wants to be a KND agent just like his brother Hoagie.
65* BrattyHalfPint: How his initial characterization goes in "Operation: T.O.M.M.Y.", his introduction episode; he teams up with the Common Cold just to have him destroy the Kids Next Door so that Tommy can hang out with his brother. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness The Common Cold got Tommy too,]] and he does get better about this as the series goes along but it never quite goes away completely.
66* BrokenWinLossStreak: In "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.O.U.R." he breaks his family's Tube-A-Thon losing streak (Despite his brother coming in dead last...again).
67* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In "Operation: T.O.M.M.Y." he's introduced as building Common Cold's new machine that is nigh-unstoppable no matter what Numbuh 2 pulls out against it, needing Betty's help to take it down. Much like his mother, Tommy's expertise is significantly normalized in later appearances, making him less of a tech expert and more of a GuileHero.
68* TheCowl: Parodied. He tries to be an intimidating hero clad in a cape who lurks in the shadows but can't pull it off.
69* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Managed to defeat Father on his own in "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.";
70* ADayInTheLimelight: "Operation: D.U.C.K.Y.", "Operation: T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G.", and "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.". G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S. in particular has him as the main lead throughout.
71* DisappearedDad: No one really knows what happened to him. He may or may not simply be dead.
72* DramaticIrony: His putting Father in the Kids Next Door Code Module makes the latter an official operative by all technicalities. [[spoiler:Without even realizing it, Tommy finally put Numbuh Zero's brother, Benedict Uno, into the Kids Next Door, and all because a young, nerdy kid way out of his depth decided to risk it all and punch above his weight against the greatest threat he's ever known to save the world -- the very thing ''Father couldn't do'' in his own terrified youth.]]
73* DudeWheresMyReward: In "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.". Justified by the fact that KND computer has fail-safe that bar decommissioned operatives from being re-instated. At least he was able to walk away with his memories.
74* GuileHero: Tommy rarely if ''ever'' fights directly, opting for analyzing and thinking up IndyPloy strategies when push comes to shove, and being surprisingly good at it. Of course, if put directly in harm's way outside of his focus episodes, he never stands a chance.
75* HatesBaths: Like many kids his age. Unlike most kids, the lengths he'll go to avoid taking a bath are pretty extreme.
76* HeroicSacrifice: In "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.", he willingly removes himself from the Kids Next Door to thwart Father's plan.
77* HeroicWannabe: He wants to be like his brother Numbuh Two.
78* HonoraryTrueCompanion: He's loyal to Sector V and regarded as an honorary member, more or less.
79* IWorkAlone: After becoming "The Tommy", he operates independently of the Kids Next Door.
80* {{Keet}}: Ties in with his LargeHam status, as he is a lot more hyper and enthusiastic than his brother
81* LargeHam: Once he becomes "The Tommy", he becomes considerably hammier.
82-->'''Numbuh Five:''' "I work ''alone!'' I ''am'' The Tommy!" He is ''definitely'' your brother, Numbuh Two.
83-->'''Numbuh Two:''' ''(indignantly)'' Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
84* LowerDeckEpisode: "Operation: T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G." is the first episode where he's a major character.
85* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Tommy has a habit of doing this, mainly starting with "Operation: T.O.M.M.Y."; because Tommy made friends with the Common Cold, the entire Sector V (save for Numbuh 2) gets captured by the Flu Bug Machine. Numbuh 2's mother fixes everything though.
86** Then there's "Operation: E.N.D.", where he takes a moment to mock Numbah Two Seventy-Four (aka Chad Dickson) to his face after his true age was revealed. He gets taken as a hostage for it, allowing Chad the opportunity to try to send the Moonbase into the sun and attempt an escape as it forces the mostly-decommissioned Sector V to improvise saving the day.
87** He manages to defeat Father in "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S", but the way he does so allows Father to take over the KND in "Operation: I.T." How? He placed Father's booger in the Kids Next Door Code Module, thus resulting in his own machine turning him into an animal. But due to a technicality, this also makes him a Kids Next Door member, which potentially gives him access to a LOT of KND secrets and resources he otherwise wouldn’t have access to.
88* ShoutOut:
89** A SixthRanger named Tommy? [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Where have we seen that before?]]
90** His vigilante getup is a parody of, and reminiscent of ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck''.
91* SpellMyNameWithAThe: He calls himself ''The'' Tommy, though he's about the only one.
92* TagalongKid: Much to everyone's annoyance, he always insists on joining the others on missions.
93* YouAreNumberSix: Played with; He takes the title of Numbuh T during his brief tenure with the KND.
94[[/folder]]
95[[folder:Betty Gilligan]]
96'''Betty Gilligan'''
97
98The mother of Numbuh Two and Tommy and the daughter of Grandma Lydia. Voiced by Creator/CandiMilo for most of her appearances and Creator/CreeSummer in "Operation: T.O.M.M.Y.".
99----
100* CharacterizationMarchesOn: "Operation T.O.M.M.Y." implied she was as much of an engineering genius as her children, but this aspect of her character is never really shown again as she became a simple, slightly neurotic mother in subsequent episodes.
101* FullNameUltimatum: "Hoagie P. Gilligan Junior! What happened to my turkey?!"
102* GoodParents: She's a single mother and much nicer than her own mother.
103* MamaBear: She's quick to defend her boys from the Common Cold.
104* ParentalObliviousness: Surprisingly averted. Mrs Gilligan seems to be well aware of the Kids Next Door, openly scolding Numbuh Two for implementing 2x4 technology into the wiring of the house. She even saves Sector V from the Common Cold using a similar kind of technology.
105* StrongFamilyResemblance: With her reddish-brown hair, rotund body, glasses and blue apparel, she looks like an older/more feminine version of Numbuh 2.
106[[/folder]]
107[[folder:Hoagie P. Gilligan, Sr.]]
108'''Hoagie P. Gilligan, Sr.'''
109
110The father of Numbuh Two and Tommy. He isn't seen in the present day and is only mentioned. Voiced by Creator/JeffBennett.
111----
112* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: It isn't clear whether the reason we don't see Numbuh Two's father is because he's deceased or he's simply divorced from Betty. "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.O.U.R." heavily implies his father is dead as he's referred to entirely in past tense.
113* TheFaceless: While he does appear in the comic story "Operation: T.R.I.K.E." (which took place when his sons were younger), his face is obscured.
114* TheGhost: He's never seen, and the time we hear his voice in "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.O.U.R." is clearly just in his eldest son's head.
115* HeroOfAnotherStory: Father implies they had some personal history.
116[[/folder]]
117[[folder:Grandma Lydia]]
118'''Grandma Lydia'''
119
120The grandmother of Numbuh Two and Tommy and the mother of Betty Gilligan. Voiced by Creator/CandiMilo.
121----
122* AccidentalMisnaming: She calls Numbuh Two Tommy, much to his annoyance.
123* EnemyMine: She and the Senior Citizen Squad help Lizzie get her lunch back from Robin Food in "Operation L.U.N.C.H." and for a good reason. Robin Food and his band of Hungry Men are actually the retirement home's cafeteria workers but are too lazy to make a proper meal, so they steal kids' junk food, much to the seniors' hate.
124* IWasQuiteALooker: According to her debut episode, she was pretty cute as a teenager.
125* {{Jerkass}}: She's constantly in a foul mood and rude to pretty much anyone, even her own family.
126* MiseryPoker: Engages in a variation of this with Count Spankulot in "Operation S.P.AN.K.E.N.S.T.I.N.E." about how things were different back in their day.
127* NeverMessWithGranny: Don't ever get her cross. She may be a senior citizen, but she can still kick your ass.
128* PetTheDog: Lydia briefly thanks Lizzie for being willing to give up her lunch until she has to explain the senior citizens don't want her food because they can't eat or digest it. She then advises Lizzie to leave so she won't see what Lydia and her friends are gonna do to Robin Food. Also in "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.O.U.R." : She's shown cheering alongside her daughter and everyone else when it looks like Numbuh 2 was gonna win the race.
129* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: She's not very nice and tactful.
130* TemporarilyAVillain: She fought the KND with two friends of hers while they were temporarily de-aged into teenagers in "Operation: T.A.P.I.O.C.A." This is her only outright antagonistic role. Otherwise, she's just cranky and pestering. It should be noted that her antagonism was over a misunderstanding. Lydia and her friends thought the K.N.D. were trying to hoard tapioca pudding for themselves, while the K.N.D. stole it because they were trying to prevent kids from being ''forced'' to eat it.
131[[/folder]]
132!!!Numbuh 3's Family
133[[folder:Mushi Sanban]]
134'''Mushi Sanban'''
135
136Numbuh Three's little sister. She's just as cute and cuddly as her sister, if not moreso, but has a hidden dark side. Voiced by Creator/TaraStrong.
137----
138* ArchEnemy: She's been hellbent on getting revenge on Numbuh 2 since "Operation: C.L.U.E.S.", when he exposed her crime of killing her sister's Rainbow Monkey during dinner.
139* BatmanGambit: In "Operation S.P.A.C.E.", during a fight between Cree and Numbuh 5, Mushi (who had been providing background music for said fight) calls the two of them out on their rivalry. This leads to a heartfelt moment that lowers Cree's guard long enough for Numbuh 5 to toss her into the garbage chute and send her off into space... which, to Numbuh 5's surprise, Mushi actually counted on.
140* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Numbuh Three's Abel. [[InvertedTrope Ironically.]]
141* CreepyChild: She's been the main antagonist of 2 very creepy episodes. It fits her character perfectly.
142* CuteAndPsycho: She's really not all there. Entering her name into the Galactic Kids Next Door ARG website gets the response "that kid is nuts".
143* EnfanteTerrible: Unlike Numbuh Three, she’s not as innocent as she appears.
144* FaceHeelTurn: In her first few appearances, she acts as an ally to Sector V, but she turns to the darker side of the battle against adult tyranny when Numbuh 2 exposes her for stabbing one of her sister's Rainbow Monkeys with a fork.
145* GirlishPigtails: They make her look more innocent.
146* GroundedForever: After stabbing Numbuh Three's rainbow monkey, she's grounded for a lifetime, and is even threatened to for a double "life sentence".
147* {{Hypocrite}}: When Mushi realizes that King Sandy isn't joking about wanting to marry her sister, she calls him out on it, saying that they're both far too young to be betrothed. She promptly forgets this a few seconds later when Sandy suddenly falls head over heels for her instead, despite being ''much'' younger than Kuki is.
148* ImprobableWeaponUser: She flings handfuls of crayons at Hoagie during their confrontation in "Operation: S.P.A.N.K.E.N.S.T.I.N.E.". Sounds silly, but somehow they're sharp enough to pierce bullet-sized holes in her bedroom door.
149* LaserGuidedKarma: In one episode, she stole Count Spankulot’s spanking power for her monster Rainbow Monkey. Guess what happened to her when he got it back.
150* MadScientist: In "Operation: S.P.A.N.K.E.N.S.T.I.N.E.", she constructs an elaborate device in her room that drains Count Spankulot's spanking power and injects it into Kuki's dead Rainbow Monkey, turning it into a giant rampaging spanking zombie.
151* MeaningfulName: Her name in Japanese means "bug", and she literally bugs Kuki by being an AnnoyingYoungerSibling.
152* ObfuscatingStupidity: She acts even more ditzy than Numbuh 3, but only to hide a truly devious and sinister mind. This is even prevalent in her debut episode, where to [[OnlySaneMan Numbuh 5]]'s surprise, she intentionally talked Cree (who Numbuh 5 was fighting at the time) into lowering her guard long enough for the former to finish the fight. This came after she played the standard AnnoyingYoungerSibling role for the brunt of the episode.
153* PuppyLove: With King Sandy during and after the events of "Operation: K.A.S.T.L.E.".
154* UnholyMatrimony: After "Operation: C.R.I.M.E.", she gleefully embraces her villainy and flees from home along with King Sandy, another recurring antagonist.
155[[/folder]]
156[[folder:Kani Sanban]]
157'''Kani Sanban'''
158
159Numbuh 3's grumpy father. Voiced by Creator/KeoneYoung.
160----
161* BerserkButton: He prefers cold temperatures and hates it when someone in his house turns up the thermostat. This may be a reference to the fact that most housing units in Japan don't have central heating.
162* DramaQueen: In spite of his grumpiness, he can be quite dramatic, as shown by his overreaction to forgetting to put chocolate sauce on the the ice cream sundaes in "Operation: S.P.A.N.K.E.N.S.T.I.N.E.".
163* HairTriggerTemper: He's rather short-tempered and even the smallest things can set him off.
164* {{Jerkass}}: He's usually in a sour mood and always complaining about something. He’s also a rude houseguest, as shown in "Operation: H.O.T.S.T.U.F.F." when he ransacks Sector V's fridge and drinks all the triple pop soda while staying at the treehouse.
165* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Still, he does love his family. A montage of Numbuh 3's childhood shows him being a loving father to her.
166* MeaningfulName: His name is Japanese for "crab," and he's got a rather crabby personality.
167* MustHaveCaffeine: Implied--when staying at Sector V's treehouse in "Operation: H.O.T.S.T.U.F.F.", he asks Numbuh 4 several times if they have any coffee.
168* ObnoxiousInLaws: His interactions with Numbuh 4 in H.O.T.S.T.U.F.F. could be seen as a precursor to this, since the SeriesFinale reveals that Numbuhs 3 and 4 do end up getting married as adults.
169* OcularGushers: His reaction to forgetting the chocolate sauce for the ice cream sundaes he was making in "Operation: S.P.A.N.K.E.N.S.T.I.N.E."
170* SeriousBusiness: He takes the making of ice cream sundaes very seriously.
171-->'''Kani:''' Making an ice cream sundae takes CON-CEN-TRA-TION! ''[[PunctuatedPounding (smashes ice cream carton against the counter with every syllable)]]'' You must have the right ice cream, the best bananas, [[ExplainExplainOhCrap and the richest chocolate sauce to]]--I FORGOT THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE! ''(cries giant streams of tears)''
172* SharpDressedMan: He always wears a suit and tie.
173* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The tiny guy to Genki's huge girl.
174* WackyParentSeriousChild: Completely inverted with his older daughter Kuki being a happy and cheery GenkiGirl, while Kani himself has a grouchy and irritable demeanor at all times.
175[[/folder]]
176[[folder:Genki Sanban]]
177'''Genki Sanban'''
178
179Numbuh 3's stern and serious mother, who is a businesswoman and Betty Gilligan's boss. Voiced by Creator/LaurenTom, who also voices her oldest daughter.
180------
181* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: When Genki was a child, her parents didn't allow her to play with toys. Her own daughters have so many toys because she wants them to have the happy childhood she missed out on.
182* DarkAndTroubledPast: In her and husband's debut episode, Genki claims that she wasn't allowed to play with stuff like dolls and other toys when she was a kid--this would indicate that Genki probably had a rather...''strict'' upbringing as a kid.
183* GoodParents: Despite her stern/serious demeanor, Genki obviously loves and cares about her daughters and wants to make sure that they have a happier childhood than she did--this is at least part of the reason why Numbuh 3 and her sister have so many Rainbow Monkeys.
184* INeverSaidItWasPoison: This is how she figures out that Numbuh 2 was the one who ate the turkey Betty made for dinner in "Operation: C.L.U.E.S."
185* IronicName: Her name means [[GenkiGirl "energetic",]] but she is very stoic and calm.
186* NotSoStoic: Her stern facade briefly cracks when she shows sadness about her unhappy childhood in "Operation: C.L.U.E.S.".
187* PrimAndProperBun: Always wears one as part of her serious personality.
188* SignificantDoubleCasting: Shares a voice actress with Kuki, her older daughter. Their voices even become virtually indistinguishable during Genki's NotSoStoic outburst. Likewise, Kuki sounds identical to her mother as an adult in "Operation W.H.I.T.E.H.O.U.S.E."
189* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The huge girl to Kani's tiny guy.
190* WackyParentSeriousChild: Again, inverted--her daughters are GenkiGirl[=s=], while she is stern and strait-laced.
191* WomenAreWiser: Genki appears to be calmer and more reasonable than her husband Kani. In "Operation: S.P.A.N.K.E.N.S.T.I.N.E.", while Mushi's grounded, Kani yells at her for making too much noise but Genki calms him down (somewhat) by reasoning that the least they can do is let Mushi play in her room while she's grounded.
192[[/folder]]
193!!!Numbuh 4's Family
194[[folder:Joey Beetles]]
195'''Joey Beetles'''
196
197Numbuh 4's baby brother, a dodgeball prodigy. Voiced by Creator/DeeBradleyBaker.
198------
199* BrainyBaby: Despite being only a baby, he’s already FamedInStory as the greatest dodgeball player in the world.
200* IHaveYourWife: In "Operation: D.O.D.G.E.B.A.L.L.", he’s held hostage along with his parents in order to lure Numbuh 4 out so the Dodgeball Wizard can defeat him.
201* MeaningfulName: "Joey" is an Australian slang word for various baby marsupials.
202* MoralityPet: While he can get annoyed with him at times, it's clear that Wally really loves and cares about his brother and is ''very'' protective of him.
203* PintsizedPowerhouse: As seen in his fight with the Dodgeball Wizard in "Operation: D.O.D.G.E.B.A.L.L.".
204* SignificantDoubleCasting: Joey and his brother Wally are voiced by the same actor.
205* TheUnintelligible: He only speaks in BabyTalk, but Numbuhs 2 and 4 can [[IntelligibleUnintelligible perfectly understand him]].
206[[/folder]]
207[[folder:Sydney Beetles]]
208'''Sydney Beetles'''
209
210Numbuh 4's father. Voiced by Creator/JeffBennett.
211----
212* GoodParents: In "Operation: M.A.T.A.D.O.R.", he signed up for what he thought was a seminar on "How to Be a Better Dad". Too bad it was actually a trap that lured in adults to use them as bulls in a fighting ring.
213* IHaveYourWife: In "Operation: D.O.D.G.E.B.A.L.L.", he is held hostage with his wife and youngest son Joey in order to lure Numbuh 4 out so the Dodgeball Wizard can defeat him.
214* LongLostRelative: The 19th issue of ''ComicBook/CartoonNetworkActionPack'' reveals in the story "Operation: H.I.S.T.O.R.I.E." that the Toiletnator is his long-lost twin brother--this also means that the Toiletnator is Numbuh 4's uncle.
215* MeaningfulName: "Sydney" is also the name of Australia's largest city.
216* ParentalObliviousness: He tends to be comically oblivious to whatever danger is going on around him.
217** In "Operation: D.O.D.G.E.B.A.L.L.", he's being held hostage by the Dodgeball Wizard with his wife and younger son (as in, they are literally tied to a post), and he thinks it's just a magic show.
218** In "Operation: S.P.R.O.U.T.", he completely fails to notice a giant KND vehicle busting through the wall of his house.
219** The one exception is "Operation: M.A.T.A.D.O.R.", where he's completely aware that he and the other dads have been kidnapped and are in a terrifying position.
220* StrongFamilyResemblance: He has the same blonde hair and bowl-cut hairstyle as both of his sons. However, he does not have bangs that hide his eyes like them.

222[[folder:Mrs. Beetles]]
223'''Mrs. Beetles'''
224
225Numbuh 4's mother. Voiced by Creator/JenniferHale.
226----
227* AffectionateNickname: Calls Numbuh 4 "my little marsupial" in "Operation S.P.R.O.U.T.".
228* DemonHead: Her face becomes demonic when she angrily warns her oldest son not to break her last priceless vase in "Operation: B.R.E.A.K.U.P."
229* LikeParentLikeSpouse: It goes unspoken but her [[SuddenlyShouting outburst]] [[DemonHead of rage]] after Number 4 destroys all but one of her vases is very like what happens when Numbuh 3 gets angry.
230* ParentalObliviousness: Like her husband, she tends to be comically oblivious to whatever danger is going on around her, thinking that her family is seeing a magic show when the Dodgeball Wizard kidnaps them in "Operation: D.O.D.G.E.B.A.L.L." and not paying any mind to the giant KND vehicle bursting through their house's wall in "Operation: S.P.R.O.U.T."
231* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: When Numbuh 4 breaks her vase, she threatens to send him to what Numbuh 4 first assumes is military school. Mrs. Beetles corrects him that she was going to send him to ballroom dancing school, which Numbuh 4 considers a worse prospect than military school.
232* UnnamedParent: Her first name is never revealed.

234!!!Numbuh 5's Family
235[[folder:Mrs. Lincoln]]
236
237Numbuh 5's mother. Voiced by Creator/CreeSummer.
238----
239* TheFaceless: Her face is never seen.
240* LivingProp: She doesn't do much of importance and mostly just exists to avert InvisibleParents.
241* ParentalObliviousness: She has no idea that her daughters are always fighting.
242* SignificantDoubleCasting: She and her two daughters all share the same voice actress.
243* UnnamedParent: Her first name is never revealed.
244[[/folder]]
245[[folder:Dr. Lincoln]]
246
247Numbuh 5's father. Voiced by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson.
248----
249* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: In "Operation: S.U.P.P.O.R.T." he mentions his older daughter Cree using a training bra in front of Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 2. She reacts with appropriate shock and horror.
250* TheFaceless: Whenever he's present, his face is always out of frame. His character model, as revealed by behind-the-scenes material, reveals he never even had eyes drawn.
251* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Dr. Lincoln is a shameless parody of Creator/BillCosby.
252* NonIronicClown: It's revealed in "Operation: C.L.O.W.N." that, prior to becoming a doctor, he worked as a circus clown.
253* ParentalObliviousness: Like his wife, he has no idea that his daughters are always fighting.
254* UnnamedParent: His first name is unknown.

261[[quoteright:154:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lizzie_knd.png]]
262'''Elizabeth Devine''' (Lizzie)/ '''Numbuh 49''' (briefly)
263
264Numbuh One's demanding girlfriend. While she's quite clingy, she ''does'' genuinely care for Nigel, but his work for the Kids Next Door strains their relationship. Voiced by Creator/GreyDeLisle.
265
266For information on her true identity, see the last folder on [[Characters/KNDOtherOperatives this page]].
267-------
268* AccidentalHero:
269** In "Operation: D.A.T.E.", fed up with Numbuh One not paying attention to her during the Delightful Children's party, she tries to throw a cup of punch at his face but accidentally drenches the fuse box instead, shorting it out and blowing up the entire building, ruining the DCFDTL's evil plans for the night. (Although given her real identity, it may not have been accidental at all.)
270** She unintentionally saves the day yet again in "Operation: R.E.C.E.S.S." when her snot gets in the principal's salad, putting an end to Sauerbraten and Smelling's plan to turn recess into a hard-labor camp.
271* BadassNormal: Presented as such throughout the series, but her true identity makes this a subversion.
272* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In her first appearance, she brainwashed Nigel into being her obedient boyfriend and even tried to make him destroy his friends. The KND fight back and Nigel is unbrainwashed, but the episode ends with Lizzie [[KarmaHoudini getting the date she wanted anyway]]. Later episodes more or less completely ignored her origin story and considerably [[TookALevelInKindness softened her character]].
273* ClingyJealousGirl: Towards Nigel. So much that in her first appearance she tried to permanently brainwash him to abandon his friends in favoring of becoming her personal boyfriend slave.
274* DayInTheLimelight: "Operation: L.U.N.C.H." and "Operation: L.E.A.D.E.R.". The first half of "Operation: P.O.O.L." has her sharing the spotlight with Nigel.
275* EasilyForgiven: Nigel and the rest of Sector V had no hard feelings over the little matter of her having originally tried to ''{{brainwash}}'' him. Though it's mostly Numbuh One and Numbuh Three. Numbuh Two and Four openly dislike her, dreading any contact with her at all. They just don't verbalize it much due to fearing her bad temper (at least Numbuh Two fears her temper). Numbuh Five is tolerant of her at best.
276* EyeGlasses: Similar to her boyfriend.
277* FieryRedhead: Fiery is one way of putting it...
278* HairTriggerTemper: Some moments show her getting VERY angry.
279* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She and Numbuh One eventually break up when she realizes the world needs him more than she does, and that his first loyalty will always be to the Kids Next Door.
280* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Lizzie may be bossy and abrasive, but she cares about Nigel and shows that she can rather be polite to the KND.
281* LethalChef: She can make a soup that doubles as a hand grenade strong enough to ''blow up a school''. Not helping things is that she won't listen to others who criticize her cooking (to be fair said criticizing is almost entirely through insults) and that she herself actually finds the food she makes to taste good.
282* LetsGetDangerous: When she's properly motivated (either by Numbuh One being in danger or her plans being interrupted one too many times), she's a mecha-commandeering force to be reckoned with.
283* NoIndoorVoice: Good ''lord'' is she a loudmouth.
284** In "Operation: Q.U.I.E.T." she even pulls a megaphone out of nowhere to try and wake up Nigel in the middle of the night so they can go on a date.
285-->'''Lizzie:''' ''(yelling into the megaphone)'' NIGEL! WAKE UP! I HAVE BEEN PLANNING THIS DATE SINCE-- ''(Numbuh 3 jumps headfirst into the megaphone)''
286* OfficialCouple: Her and Numbuh One. They break up later, and ''she'' is the one who brought it up.
287* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: She's known as "Lizzie" to everybody.
288* PaletteSwap: She has the same physical appearance as one of the Delightful Children From Down The Lane (Which is lampshaded in "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-T.W.O.").
289* PhraseCatcher: "Hi, Lizzie", said in a monotone by the members of Sector V she is not dating.
290* PuppyLove: With Numbuh One.
291* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: She can not only afford a Boyfriend Helmet, which Numbuh Five says "ain't cheap", but always seems to have fancy dresses and attends major dances or parties that likely were even pricier. She readily spends all of this on trying to woo or even outright control Numbuh One, or readily dives into the Delightful Children's plans and interferes with Kids Next Door operations without much of a thought of the dangers or anyone else.
292* SingleTargetSexuality: As she puts it, "My heart only belongs to Nigel."
293* {{Tsundere}}: Type A and ''hard'', sometimes dipping into {{yandere}}-ish tendencies in her more extreme moods.

296[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_kid_knd.jpg]]
297'''The Kid'''
298
299A pilot in shades, The Kid is a rival pilot of Numbuh Two, and Numbuh Four's rival for Numbuh Three's affections. Voiced by Creator/CarlosAlazraqui.
300------
301* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Is seemingly a superior pilot and engineer compared to Numbuh Two. It's unclear whether he actually is one or just using better equipment (he goes down pretty easy once Numbuh Two disables his DeflectorShields and it's easy to call the hit that took him down in that fight a lucky one).
302* CoolShades: Meant to be reminiscent of a "Top Gun" style character, in contrast to Numbuh 2 resembling an old-school flying ace.
303* IWorkAlone: Numbuh Two tries recruiting him into the [=KND=] after seeing his skills, but he turns down the offer down for this reason.
304* LatinLover: It is known that he is Latino (although his exact country of origin is unknown) and he usually acts very flirtatious with Numbuh 3.
305* NoNameGiven: He's officially credited as "The Kid", and no one ever calls him by any name in-series.
306* TheRival: To Numbuh Two. It turns into a FriendlyRivalry after they realize they were being manipulated into fighting each other by [[spoiler:Mr. Washer.]]
307* RomanticFalseLead: He has a rather flirtatious exchange with Numbuh 3 in "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.O.U.R.", much to the jealousy of Numbuh 4.
308* YouKnowWhatYouDid: In "Operation: D.O.G.F.I.G.H.T." [[spoiler:He blames Numbuh 2 for destroying all of the chili dog factories in town. Unbeknownst to him, Numbuh 2 is only after him for the sake of his own pride, and the true culprit is Mr. Washer.]]

310[[folder:Maurice]]
311[[quoteright:322:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/numbuh9.png]]
312'''Maurice''' / formerly '''Numbuh Nine'''
313
314A former KND agent (Numbuh 9) who is decommissioned when he turned 13. He's part of a secret sect of teenagers who are still loyal to the KND and doing undercover work to help them from behind the scenes. Voiced by Creator/KharyPayton.
315------
316* TheAce: One of the KND's top-ranking operatives; Numbuh Five calls him "the best there is". [[spoiler:And valued enough to be kept on duty even after his 13th birthday, as an undercover teen operative for the KND.]]
317* CoolBigBro: While part of the KND, he was a beloved friend to Sector V, particularly to Numbuh Five. She misses him dearly, [[spoiler:and is overjoyed to find out that he wasn't actually decommissioned, still remembers her, and is in fact still working for the KND, as a spy.]]
318* TheDreaded: The Galactic KND considers him "highly dangerous".
319* FaceDeathWithDignity: When Maurice turns 13, he accepts his decommissioning and the loss of his memories. Note that Maurice is the only KND agent shown in the series who accepts his decommissioning, where others betray the KND when they turn or before they turn 13 years old. Because Maurice accepts his decommissioning, he is rewarded with his reputation and legacy being left intact, with all of his former teammates and fellow operatives sending him off with honor. Note that even Numbuh 86, a boy hater and Head of Decommissioning, treats him with respect and is sad to see him go. It's implied that because he loyally accepts his fate, [[spoiler:he's allowed to keep his memories and become part of a secret sect of teenagers who are still loyal to the KND and do undercover work to help them from behind the scenes.]]
320* FakeDefector: [[spoiler:Even after he turns 13 (which is the age when KND-operatives are decomissioned), he's still technically part of the KND--as an undercover operative for the TND, or "Teens Next Door."]]
321* HoneyTrap: [[spoiler:He infiltrates the teens by becoming Cree's boyfriend.]]
322* KarmicJackpot: Maurice. Because he accepts his decommissioning and the loss of his memories, he is rewarded with his reputation and legacy being left intact, with all of his former teammates and fellow operatives sending him off with honor. [[spoiler:He also is allowed to keep his memories and become part of a secret sect of teenagers who are still loyal to the KND and doing undercover work to help them from behind the scenes. Meaning that he is also able to keep his promise to track down the source of the chicken pox used by the teenagers and destroy it.]]
323* LovedByAll: He was very popular among the KND organization for being one of the best, kind, and his promise to tackle the source of the Chicken Pox epidemic. Even his decommissioning was heartbreaking for those who had to witness it including with [[DoesNotLikeMen Numbuh 86]]. [[spoiler:It's a good thing his results didn't go unnoticed due to his new role for the KND after turning 13.]]
324* TheMole: [[spoiler:He was never truly decommissioned and his typical teen attitude is all an act so he can spy on the teens for the KND.]]
325* NiceGuy: Very popular with the KND for his personality. His decommission is quite heartbreaking for the organization [[spoiler:(at least for those who don't know that he's a TND agent).]]
326* ThePromise: During his younger days two of his fellow operatives get hit with Chicken Pox despite the mission being a success. He vowed he was would track the source of the chicken pox used by the teenagers and destroy it. [[spoiler:He never manages it during his tenure with the KND but after being decommissioned and turning mole for the group, he does fulfill his promise.]]
327* UndyingLoyalty: Comes to being one of the best KND operatives. [[spoiler:Also, he is loyal enough to the KND that he ultimately wasn't truly decommissioned after all.]]

332'''"Leaky" Leona'''
333
334A girl at Gallagher Elementary School who years ago found an ancient underground school beneath the girls' bathroom containing the FountainOfYouth. Voiced by Creator/CandiMilo.
335------
336* EarlyBirdCameo: A character with nearly her exact design shows up all the way in Season 2's "Operation D.A.T.E.", albeit mostly as a background character design that appears twice over. Given Gallagher Elementary's limited roster of later recurring characters, it's entirely plausible they're the same person before Leona was even relevant -- or just a simple ReusedCharacterDesign.
337* FountainOfYouth: She's been in 5th grade for decades thanks to having found one of these in an ancient temple beneath the school. She has to keep drinking from it regularly, otherwise she'll quickly return to her natural age.
338* NeverGrewUp: She's ancient, but she still acts like a 10-year-old.
339* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Exactly how old is never specified, but definitely more than 300 years old.
340* SpeechImpediment: Because she has been a kid for so long and never took off her braces, Leona cannot articulate words properly, always spitting and stuttering when she talks, as well as saying "th" instead of "s".
341* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:After the Sector V save her from The Delightful Children, she tries to kill them because they know about the FountainOfYouth.]]

345[[quoteright:335:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrsthompson.png]]
346'''Mrs. Thompson'''
347
348Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 5's homeroom teacher at Gallagher Elementary School. Voiced by Creator/JenniferHale.
349-----
350* CannotTellALie: Owing to her role as a teacher, she'll always give an honest answer to any question asked of her, only to quickly follow up with "I shouldn't have said that!" when she realizes she's divulged too much. Numbuh 4 of all people has exploited this multiple times for pop quizzes and then [[spoiler:to discover how to cure Were-Dogism.]]
351* ChekhovsGun: In "Operation H.O.U.N.D." she doesn't want Numbah 4 to share his project aloud because she just ate. While it seemed like an innocuous comment on his poor work, [[spoiler:it's actually a hint at her Weredog nature as they are disgusted by poor-homework.]]
352* EvilTeacher [[spoiler:Only due to the were-dog necklace. She gets better once it is removed.]]
353* {{Foreshadowing}}: In her first appearance in "Operation H.O.M.E.W.O.R.K.", she's wearing a ring on her finger hinting that she's married. When she reappears in "Operation H.O.U.N.D.", she's no longer wearing it.
354* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After being cured of her Weredog curse, she stops attacking Numbuhs 4 and 5 and is grateful to them for saving her.]]
355* HotTeacher: Numbuh 4 has a not-so-subtle crush on her for this reason.
356* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:The leader of the Were-Dogs.]]
357* NoSell: She reveals [[spoiler:that bad homework can't stop her, as she easily eats Numbuh 4's terrible papers with a laugh.]] It's odd considering she expressed disgust at the very same work in a previous episode, though maybe she just grown used to it. Or perhaps that she ''can'' consume it, but she prefers not to- it's physically possible for people to eat food they don't like, but would still rather not. Ultimately, the true reason is not revealed.
358* TragicVillain: [[spoiler:Going off the way she thanks Numbuh 5 for taking the cursed necklace off, she clearly never liked being a were-dog and was grateful to finally be freed.]]
359* UngratefulBastard: Played with. [[spoiler:She's grateful to Numbuh 4 for breaking her were-dog curse... but not enough to change his grades.]]
360* WolfMan: [[spoiler:Due to a curse she gained after being given a cursed green necklace by her angry ex-husband.]]
361* WomanScorned: [[spoiler:Gender-inverted. She was given the were-dog curse by a necklace from a bitter ex-husband.]]

366A dentist who works in an office near Mr. Jelly's candy store, who appears in "Operation: T.E.E.T.H." Voiced by Creator/JeffBennett.
367-----
368* BigDamnHeroes: He saves Numbuhs 1-5 in time by exploiting Knightbrace's/[[spoiler:Mr. Jelly's]] weakness to taffy.
369* DepravedDentist: Averted. Sector V believes he's behind Knightbrace's mask, but he's actually pretty reasonable and uses a rope of taffy to save them from their BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill.
370* EveryoneHasStandards: Although he's clearly annoyed at Sector V for not taking their dental health seriously, he will not go to the extremes Knightbrace goes to, and even saves the kids from the latter's dental chair.
371* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's trying to get Sector V to take their dental health seriously by offering them free appointments, expressing TranquilFury at them but not going beyond that. He also saves them from Knightbrace using the latter's weakness to taffy and assures them the villain will be sent to the Dental Establishment to reform [[spoiler:(and his lazy brother-in-law will take over the candy shop)]].
372* RedHerring: At first it's set up to believe Knightbrace is Dr. Teef in disguise, but it's revealed that's not the case when he walks into the same room. The kids are surprised when they unmask [[spoiler:Mr. Jelly]] instead.
373* TranquilFury: He expresses this at the kids for not taking care of their teeth properly, but his annoyance doesn't go anywhere above that.

378'''Vin Moosk'''
379
380A former accountant and now tie hunter that Numbuh One befriends in "Operation: K.N.O.T." Voiced by [[Creator/JimCummings1952 Jim Cummings]].
381-----
382* TheAce: As much as Moosk hated his accounting job, he was ''very'' good at it. [[spoiler:So good that leaving the company severely lowered their productivity.]]
383* {{Expy}}: He's an homage to Minsc from ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'', even sharing the same voice actor.
384* HeroicSacrifice: To finally defeat the Queen Tie and protect Numbuh One, Moosk is inevitably caught in her last dying tie breath, forcing him to become an accountant again. Numbuh One helps him snap out of it by discretely giving him a can of spray starch.
385* HuskyRusskie: He has a Russian accent and is very large and strong.
386* IntergenerationalFriendship: Numbuh One considers him a 'comrade' and the "coolest adult" he ever met. He remains one of the very few adults that Nigel genuinely respects.
387* SoulCrushingDeskJob: He previously was an accountant but grew to despise the boredom of his day-to-day and not only left his company but rebelled against its very tie-wearing culture.
388* StabTheScorpion: For a moment, it seems like Moosk turned his spray starch gun on Numbuh One, only to shoot the tie that was sneaking upon him.
