The show is about two 1211-year-old rabbits named Yin and Yang who train under Master Yo, a grumpy old [[panda]]. They learn the sacred art of Woo Foo, a special type of martial arts that involves both [[Hand to hand combat|might]] and [[Magic (fantasy)|magic]]. They must work together to defeat [[evil]] [[villains]] and forces motivated on destroying, corrupt or dominate society.

* {{anchor|Yang}}Yang (voiced by [[Scott McCord]]) is a blue rabbit and is Master Yo's student and the older twin brother of Yin. He mostly uses the Martial Arts side of Woo Foo, but is able to use the Mystic side of Woo Foo as well. Yang is a very lucky, courageous yet negligent and hasty character, and has a liking for [[clown]]s, fights, video games and often seeks attention as a hero. Despite not showing emotions towards his sister, he really cares about his sister and Master Yo's well-being, and it is shown in the episode "My Stupid Sword" that Yang pushed Yin out of the way so Yin would not get in trouble by Master Yo when Yang's negligence caused looting of Woo Foo Armory by Chung Pow Kitties. Yang owns a [[bamboo]]-based sword which can temporally transform into various objects, using Woo Foo. He has a crush on Yin's friend Lina and frequently tries to impress her. He also unintentionally helped Eradicus to return from eternal slumber, using magical and spiritual items collected by Yang on a quest added by Eradicus minions posing as Woo Foo elders' spirits. However, Yin, Yang and Yo were able to defeat him. In the episode "A Toy's Story" it is revealed that he is 11 years old.
* {{anchor|Master Yo}}Master Yo (voiced by [[Martin Roach]]) -is Aa bachelor panda with a hundred years of age but with zero parenting skills and the skillful master of ancient martial arts known as Woo Foo. He was talked into training Yin and Yang, as he is the last Woo Foo warrior (and perhaps the last panda) in the world.<ref name=Foo/> He is often portrayed as arrogant, stubborn, indifferent yet bears great sage wisdom and is often quick with a saying from sacred scrolls. He's able to use both might and magic and has moves that Yin and Yang are unaware of. He once was able to defeat the Night Master. He is shown to be on a quest for a younger spouse of sorts as he is often seen trying to pick up women, especially single mothers,<ref name=Foo>"Deja Foo.

Yin and Yang's biological mother is never seen or mentioned and no explanation is given for her absence.

** Grizzleflavin (voiced by [[Jonathan Wilson (actor)|Jonathan Wilson]]) -is Thethe gargoyle head that is located at the entrance of Night Masters' lair. He allows anyone that is evil to enter the Night Master's Lair.

** Dank & Dire (both voiced by Damon Papadopoulos) –are Twotwo dark creatures that are the Night Master's minions.

* {{anchor|Carl the Evil Cockroach Wizard}}Carl the Evil Cockroach Wizard (voiced by Jamie Watson) -is Aa flamboyant [[cockroach]] [[Magician (fantasy)|wizard]], who frequently seeks an approval of his overbearing dragon-like mother who heavily berates him. He continuously schemes to defeat Yin, Yang, Master Yo and the power of the Woo Foo with his insecure genius. Carl is always trying to find a way to impress his mother and out-do his [[sadistic personality disorder|sadistic]], selfish brother Herman. Even though Carl and Herman dislike one another, they have worked together on occasion, making a deadly force against Yin and Yang. His dream was to become so enormous that he would blot out the sun, an idea that Herman and the Night Master stole. Carl is an anti-thesis to Yin's magical ability and Yang's goofiness. Carl is stronger than Yin and Yang in power, but if someone criticizes him, he's easily distracted. It is revealed in "Yin Yang Carl" that he could defeat Herman in a fight, if only he used his magic powers.<ref>"Yin Yang Carl. Director: Ted Collyer; Writer: Danielle Koenig, Bart Jennett."

* {{anchor|Eradicus}}Eradicus (voiced by [[Jonathan Wilson (actor)|Jonathan Wilson]]) -is Aa mighty [[griffin|Gryphon]] who is bent on destroying Woo Foo. As revealed in "Welcome Toto Thethe Dark Tomorrow", he is in fact the first and original Night Master. After his demise (of unknown cause), other beings of darkness took on the mantle of evil he left behind including an unknown snake lady and the bat-creature Yin and Yang faced in season 1. His deceased minions posed as the ghosts of the Woo Foo Elders to manipulate Yang into collecting the items of power needed to revive him. Tricking Yang into throwing the items into the Night Master's fireplace at the stroke of midnight, Eradicus was instantly resurrected. Upon his revival, Eradicus revived his minions and started the Dark Tomorrow (turning everyone good evil and everyone evil good). With the combined abilities of Yin, Yang (empowered with the items given to him by the League of Evil), and Yo, Eradicus was defeated and the Dark Tomorrow was reversed. Despite the destruction of the Night Master's lair during the battle, Eradicus was revealed to still be alive in "The Howl Ofof Thethe Weenie", where he still plans the destruction of the Woo Foo. In "Creeping With the Enemy", he has established Eradicorp, where most of the villain community is working. He appears as the final boss in the online game ''Dangerous Comic Book of Dread''.

** Ella Mental (voiced by [[Linda Ballantyne]]) -is Aa female minion of Eradicus who is a [[Telepathy|mind reader]].

** Rubber Chucky (voiced by Peter Cugmo) -is Aa tall minion of Eradicus has elastic, [[shapeshifting]] body.

** Indestructo-Bob (voiced by [[Tony Daniels]]) -is Aa slow-witted minion of Eradicus who has indestructible armor.

** Mollecu-Lars (voiced by [[David Berni]] in a German accent) -is Aa small octopus-like minion of Eradicus who can manipulate his molecules to shapeshift, levitate, and regenerate his limbs.

* {{anchor|Brother Herman}}Brother Herman (voiced by [[David Berni]]) -is Carl's black hearted, sadistic, selfish and evil ant brother, Herman, is a tyrannical ant warlord who rules his kingdom with an iron fist, a diabolical mind, and impeccable table manners. He attempted to take over the world until Master Yo stopped him, due to him being allergic to pandas.

** Charles –is Herman's second-in-command.

* {{anchor|Ultimoose}}Ultimoose (voiced by [[Tony Daniels]]) -is Anan athletic daredevil [[moose]]-like creature with his very own branch of martial arts and originally the Night Master affiliate. He can be described as sexist, masculine, selfish and aggressive yet also obsessive, paranoid in the spirit of [[List of The Fairly OddParents characters#Denzel Crocker|Denzel Crocker]] from ''The Fairly OddParents'' while being perceived by other characters as miserable buffoon. He tends to refer to himself in the third person. His outfit and hairstyle are similar to that of the [[Marvel Comics]] superhero [[Wonder Man]]. He became the new Night Master in "Deja Foo", calling himself the Night Mooster. He became regular Ultimoose again after Yang reversed time, found the Night Master's Amnesulet first, and was aided by the other villains to defeat him. He also collects Yang's hair as revealed in "Yin Yang Who?".

* {{anchor|Smoke}}Smoke (voiced by [[Linda Ballantyne]]) -is Aa hyper-activehyperactive female with more distinctively anime-like eyes who was, supposedly, Yang's girlfriend until it was revealed to be an elaborate plot for the completion of her quest. Yin and Yang eventually capture the two into Smoke's Prison Prism (spoof of Poké-balls from ''[[Pokémon]]''). She reappears in "League of Evil" as a member of the league alongside Carl, Pondscüm, and The Puffin. She shows an interest in bathroom tidiness and also activities such as serenity trances and East Asian-based meditation in general. Her weapon of choice is a gigantic sword that highly resembles the buster sword used by Cloud Strife in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''. Her style and choice of clothing parodies ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' (of whom her voice actress voiced in the American dubs of the anime). She also seems to talk really fast and out of sync with her lip movements, further spoofing Japanese animation's [[Voice acting in Japan|voice actors]].

* {{anchor|Mirrors}}Mirrors (voiced by [[Jonathan Wilson (actor)|Jonathan Wilson]]) -is Smoke's rivaled brother. When Smoke uses Yang in the battle tournament, Mirrors obtains Yin to fight her. Yin and Yang managed to use one of the Forever Friend Prisms to imprison Smoke and Mirrors. Mirrors' hairstyle resembles the hairstyle of [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Goku]] from ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' and his interest in roses (exploding roses, to be exact) parodies [[James (Pokémon)|James]] from the ''Pokémon'' series. He appears to speak in a way mocking most Japanese voice actors, by stopping and starting at odd intervals. He and his sister's names are a play on words of the metaphor [[smoke and mirrors]]. He and Smoke are shown to have formed a rapport in order to bring Yin and Yang down together, however it doesn't last long as they begin fighting again.

* {{anchor|Yuck}}Yuck (voiced by [[Scott McCord]]) -is Aa turquoise-green slovenly rabbit, is an entity formed from Yin's obsession with control and Yang's aggression. As a repulsive, mutant rabbit, Yuck wants more than anything in the world to be the greatest, most powerful Woo Foo Knight of all time. After he lost his physical form, he was found by the Night Master who built him a robot suit with hands that absorb Woo Foo so he could become real. He dated Yin in disguise and eventually absorbed enough energy to regain his physical form, becoming his own individual being. Yuck has shown himself to be quite intelligent in his convoluted schemes to Yin and Yang. In terms of fighting ability he appears to be as formidable as Yin and Yang put together, being able to take on Yo himself. After a mission into Yo to get an ancient Woo Foo weapon, Yin and Yang break his shrink belt and he shrinks uncontrollably to the point where he is no longer visible. However, he returns a Level 2 Woo Foo Knight when the 2 copies of Yin and Yang copies misuse their "fooplication" charm. He is a Level 2 Woo Foo Knight due to Yin and Yang's title of Level 1 Woo Foo Knights, thus he can use the same moves as both Yin and Yang. Using the charm, Yuck created an army of Yin and Yang "fooplicates". When Yin destroys the charm to erase the "fooplicates", Yuck absorbs their power and becomes Master Yo's level if not more. Unfortunately for Yuck, he also develops a bad case of the hiccups which leaves him unable to control his new powers. He appears to have the power to possess creatures now as well, as he possessed the Headmaster of 'Camp Magic-Pants'. He later returned, cleaned up and trying to be good, saying that a mysterious monk reformed him. His actions were truly noble until the acts of Yin and Yang, who still didn't trust him, prompted Yuck to return to being evil, as he believed Yin and Yang to want all their worst qualities on display to make them look good.

* {{anchor|Zarnot}}Zarnot (voiced by Jamie Watson) – Once Yang's favorite toy, Zarnot is an evil action figure brought to life by the Lie Fairy and later recruited by the Night Master. Due to his common failure, Zarnot was forced into a hated toy box by the Night Master. With the Night Master defeated, Zarnot's status was unknown until "Deja Foo.".

* {{anchor|Pondscüm}}Pondscüm (voiced by [[Jonathan Wilson (actor)|Jonathan Wilson]]) - Pondscüm, is a street, Swedish, fish inside a robot suit. He is obsessed with "bling-bling", and will get it at all costs. However, he truly carries a Swedish accent. In "Fighting Fooberty", it is revealed that he is a pollywog.

* {{anchor|Fastidious}}Fastidious James Spiffington (voiced by [[Mark Bowen (actor)|Mark Bowen]] inis a British accent) - A small hamster obsessed with cleanliness and world domination with a British accent. He is nearly always seen inside a [[hamster ball]] that serves as the control center for his robots, mainly his Hamsterbot. Fastidious seems to be a certified attorney.

* {{anchor|Saranoia}}Saranoia (voiced by [[Linda Ballantyne]]) -is Aa powerful sorceress and mistress of disguise. She had a difficult childhood with her father and her lazy brother Mark, which led her to establish strong women's empowerment and [[Feminism|feminist]] views and values. Due to the nature of her obsessive-compulsive behavior and delusional behavior, Saranoia's goal is to terminate Yang's masculine influence on Yin, and also terminate Yang's existence altogether, while heavily pursuing Yin into education. She also mistakes Master Yo as her boy-favoring wizard father, just as she mistakes Yang for Mark. She was condemned to an insane asylum from "The Truth Hurts" to "A Bad Case of the Buglies.". Yin and Yang filed a restraining order on her. At this point, she's given up being an evil wizard, has had plastic surgery, and is the spokesperson for Repulsix. When Saranoia takes one of her wands, she takes on a set of characteristics and must abide by the rules of the wand, even if it is against her own will.

** "G.P." (voiced by Damon Papadopoulos impersonating [[Burt Reynolds]]) - A talking gnome-like assistant who is generally reasonable yet indifferent, bland and allows himself to comply in accordance to his boss needs. G.P.'s solo, dark, and aggressive side's debut is in "Party Favors" when he teams up with Flavior and Charles for his own personal gain of crashing Coop's "Welcome Back and Thanks Forfor Saving Everyone Fromfrom Evil Byby Banishing Thethe Night Master All Byby Yourself" party to enter The Night Master's lair with Coop's spare key. He later changes his name to Fr-Ped which is short for "Frightenengly Really Powerful Enraged Doombringer" where he pronounces it as "Fred" with the P being silent.

* {{anchor|Chung Pow Kitties}}The Chung Pow Kitties (voiced by [[Stephanie Morgenstern]]) -are Aa trio of small, furry and adorable kittens who closely resemble characters Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup from ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', but they are generally heartless, antagonistic ninjas and enemies of Yin and Yang.

* {{anchor|Kraggler}}Kraggler (voiced by [[Tony Daniels]]) –is Aa gargoyle who is about a "bazillion" years old, Kraggler used to be a great and powerful warrior and Master Yo's arch enemy until he became too old to fight.

* {{anchor|The Puffin}}The Puffin (voiced by [[Jim Belushi]]) -is Aa gentleman-dressed puffin. When Yin and Yang start to mistake him for a penguin, Carl cuts them off by stating he's a puffin and that they "can't be sued for a puffin".

* {{anchor|Manotaur}}The Manotaur (voiced by [[Seth MacFarlane]]) -is Aa masculine character with hairy hooves and macho aesthetics. He is a large man with a bald head who dresses like a city man. His plan was to kidnap all the Two-ni-corns and to shave off all their hair to make a large wig to cover up his really smooth, bald head to get a date with The Womanotaur. When Yin and Yang reach his lair, it is really his house in a cul-de-sac, Yang uses Man Smash, learned from his comic book hero, U-Dude, and frees the Two-ni-corns. It is revealed throughout the entire episode that he is the only character in the series with five-fingers (noted by his [[Little finger|pinky]] wearing a [[pinky ring]]) He later appears to challenge Yin and Yang to a lifesized board game to win the dojo, whom Master Yo wasn't able to pay the bills Yin and Yang threw away.

* {{anchor|Ranger Ron}}Ranger Ron -is Aa condescending illiterate<ref name=Beary/> [[park ranger]] with the physical appearance of pig who only appears in the episode "Today You Are a Bear" (season 022, episode 24), where Yin and Yang come to Vincent von Growl's so-called [[Bar and Bat Mitzvah|Bear mitzvah]]. He's openly expressing unreasonable hate and malice against bears, whom he wants to discredit and cause injury to due to various reasons like a bear being his supervisor, one bear "mauling" him while he was the movie theater, bears making go to a 12 item check out when he had 13 items in his cart.<ref name=Beary>"Today You Are a Bear. Director: Mark Ackland; Writer: Sib Ventress." '''''Yin Yang Yo!'''''. episode 24. season 2. 2008-08-18.

* {{anchor|Coop}}Coop (voiced by [[Jonathan Wilson (actor)|Jonathan Wilson]]) -is Aa nerdy, shy chicken with a huge crush on Yin. Due to his resentment and Yin's rejection, he joined the Night Master in exchange for the promise to have Yin when the world was taken over. He's presented as a minor villain later in the series where he had powers and abilities rivaling Yin and Yang's. As he turned his back on Night Master and helped Yin and Yang to defeat the Night Master, he completely disappeared from the show, later returning in "The Pecking Order". He was stripped of his Night Master energy that spread across the world, possessing all who ingest it until Coop absorbs a large amount of controlled evil, enough to make him a Night Master. Coop can also enter the Night Master's lair whenever he wants. He has the ability to create a glowing orange-yellow, bird shaped battle aura, which he dubs "Shadow Chicken." While using it, he is powerful enough to defeat even Master Yo. In "Gone-A-Fowl" he starts to lose control of his evil, causing him to become a buff, shades wearing, bad boy version of himself whenever he gets frustrated, reverting to his dorky self when made happy. In this form, he gains the ability to infect others with his evil, causing them to become powered up evil versions of themselves. Before the final battle with Eradicus took place, Coop decided to join the Yin and Yang's Woo Foo Army to fight Eradicus.

* {{anchor|Lina}}Lina (voiced by Novie Edwards) -is Anan aqua-green female dog, Lina is Yang's not-quite-yet girlfriend and crush and Yin's best friend. She is a nice, carefree, confident yet short-tempered girl who lives on a farm with her father. She was first introduced in "Beetlemania", when Yang pretended to be a Woo Foo Warrior in order to impress her, but his plan backfired after he had to fight a giant steel beetle. In "The Yin of Yang", Lina showed some feelings for Yang after he tried to act like Yin in order to get more of her attention. In "Smoke and Mirrors", she actually tried to pursue him, though her attempts were frequently disrupted by Yin. In the episode "Yin Yang You!", it is finally revealed that her species is in fact a dog, though it was believed beforehand that she was a bear. In the episode "Gone-A-Fowl", she and Yang exchange their secret feelings for each other, and begin pursuing a relationship.

* {{anchor|Roger Skelewog Jr.}}Roger Skelewog Jr. (voiced by [[Dwayne Hill]]) -is Thethe son of Yin and Yang's part-time enemy, Roger the Skelewog. At first, Roger Jr. was a bully to Yin and Yang, having mock fights with Yang and teasing him and Yin, but, during "Woofoogeddon", it was revealed he longed to be Yang's best friend. Roger Jr., being a prehistoric-esque monster, has displayed super strength, such as when he easily took out a whole group of the Night Master's soldiers just by running by them with his arms. He can also breathe fire and launch spikes from his arms. In Season 2, he ultimately becomes friends with Yin, Yang and Lina.

* {{anchor|Dave}}Dave (voiced by [[Dwayne Hill]]) -is Aa magical talking tree stump, Dave is a low-life and is considered pathetic by his friends. Many times, Dave is often caught in the crossfire of battles or hurt in some way by friend and/or foe. He is also whiny, talks nonstop about his family of trees, and is never noticed. As discovered in "Stuck", Dave has the ability to communicate with and manipulate plants. This apparently surpasses that of the other characters.

* {{anchor|Jobeaux}}Jobeaux (voiced by [[Bill Engvall]]) -is Aa Redneckistanian practicing Woo Foo, while being disliked by his teachers, Yin and Yang, as a stupid, smelly hick. He has a pet armadillo named Fuzzy Thunder that hides in his mouth, giving him a hick accent.
