Throughout all phases of Gorillaz, there have been many minor characters that only appeared once or twice. This page is a list of all of them.

Recurring Characters

The Cafe Owners worked at the Cafe in Kong Studios from Phase 1 to Phase 2.

The family (father and daughter) that ran the cafe were of presumably Japanese descent. It is assumed that the father cooked and the daughter grew up to become the waitress in Phase 2.

The Kong Studios Cinema Attendant used to sit in a booth during phases One and Two and would blink his eyes when you moved your mouse over him.

"Chilling like there is always a tomorrow"

In the Phase Two: Slowboat To Hades DVD, inside Kong Studios, there is a pair consisting of a bi polar bear and a crocodile who sit in the music room. If you click on the polar bear he will tell you a random story, then his pants will fall down, with the croc saying "That's what I'm talking about!". If you click on the crocodile he will say a random phrase.

The polar bear was shown as a cameo in the MTV Cribs special, as well as on the Phase Two: Slowboat To Hades DVD.

The pair return in the Plastic Beach website, floating near the island on pool rafts. You can see them through a pair of binoculars, but you can barely hear them.

In the credits for the Slowboat to Hades DVD, the Polar Bear's voice actor is credited to Geoffrey Nolan while the Crocodile is credited to Remi Kabaka Jr. (who also voices Russel).

Upon Kong Studios' return in 2025, the Polar Bear (now voiced by Remi Kabaka Jr.) relocated to Russel's room where he recites poetry in the form of Gorillaz lyrics, while the crocodile moved to 2-D's room.

Sir Emerick Khong was the original owner of Khong Mansion which later became Kong Studios.

The site was once a cemetery or body dump for those who died during the Plague of 1665 after being used as a meeting point for the Goat Clan, a clan of druids. Emerick erected his mansion upon the body dump years later.

On Rise of the Ogre, Murdoc states that Khong had the mansion be built so he could host his endless parties and that his ghost continued to live in Kong Studios long after his death, "hungover for all eternity". The moaning present on Tomorrow Comes Today is also attributed to him in his search for painkillers.^[1]^[2]

David Tusspot is the husband of Rachel Tusspot and father of 2-D. Very little is known about him, other than, when Stuart was still a child, they lived at a "comfortable family home" in Crawley New Town later owned a fairground named after his surname. Around the time of Stuart's birth, David and Rachel decided to shorten his last time from "Tusspot" to simply "Pot" to prevent him from undergoing a "lifetime of ridicule".

On Rise of the Ogre, David is described as a "mechanic and all-round electronic tinker-er for fairground rides".

Rachel Tusspot is the wife of David Tusspot and mother of 2-D. Even less is known about her, though Rise of the Ogre describes her as a "big-breasted nurse" the one who secured the "endless supply of painkillers" for Stuart's constant and painful migraines.

2-D's unnamed aunt was briefly mentioned during 2-D and Murdoc's re-cap video of Rock The House, in which Murdoc mentions he wore his outfit from the music video a second time during her wedding, moving the guests to tears. 2-D then corrects him and says that it was instead her funeral, to which Murdoc responds by saying it "livened the place up". Is not known whose sister she was, David's or Rachel's.

Mike the Monkey in the Dirty Harry music video

Main Article: Mike the Monkey

Mike was Noodle's pet monkey throughout Phase 2. He wears a fez as well as a brown collared shirt and can sometimes be seen holding Noodle's guitar. He appears nearly fifteen years later in the Song Machine video PAC-MAN, when Russel knocks over a punching bag. He has also recently appeared on the Gorillaz x Fred Perry collaboration.

Phase 1 Characters

Mr. Maggits^[3] is the bongo-playing ape who was originally intended to be a member of the band in its early conception, but this idea was quickly abandoned. Nevertheless, he appears in some illustrations and was even going to be an accessory in a cancelled 2002 series of Gorillaz Art Asylum figures. In an interview with Gorillaz Wiki, Mat Wakeham stated that "he was merely a cool drawing that never served an ongoing purpose" and to not overthink it.^[4]

According to Noodle, Mr. Maggits was booted out of the band due to conflicts of personal interest.^[3]

Main Article: Cafe Cat

The cat which the owners of Kong Studios cafe look after as a pet. He wears a set of headphones while listening to the song Left Hand Suzuki Method. He has blue skin, olive eyes, green shorts, and a long pink tongue.

The Lobby Monkeys, also known as News Monkeys, were three chimps who could be found behind the news counter on Kong Studios' Ground Floor Lobby during Phase 1. They were eventually replaced by the Spacemonkeyz when Laika Come Home was released.

There are three monkeys, two wearing blue and red shirts, while the third wears a yellow shirt. The three monkeys sit with their hands holding their heads, looking discontent or upset. One covers its eyes, one covers its ears, and one covers its mouth, similar to the three wise monkeys: see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

During Phase 1, 2-D kept a dog in his room. When you clicked on it, it would growl. It can be seen in the Phase One: Celebrity Take Down DVD, alongside many other residents of Kong in the freezer room.

During Phase 1, Noodle kept a puppy in her room. When you clicked on it, it would kiss you. It can be seen in the Phase One: Celebrity Take Down DVD, alongside many other residents of Kong in the freezer room.

The Beat Box Bandit was a character who used to be present on Russel's Room in Kong Studios during Phase One. His silhouette also appeared on various loading screens from games or rooms at the website.

He made a remix of the song "Rock the House" named "Rock the House (Beat Box Bandit Remix)" exclusive to the Gorillaz website, and could be played in the form of a vinyl disc on Russel's record player on the same room.

The Evil Twins lurk around the corridors of Kong Studios, normally outside the toilets. They have appeared in the "Rock the House" music video and Murdoc's Winnebago key video from the self-titled CD. They are based on the twins from the 1980 movie The Shining^W.

The Twins return in the restored Kong Studios, appearing in the ground floor corridor and watching the player.

The Monk is one of several residents of Kong Studios in Phase 1, floating on the second floor.

Main Article: Alan

Alan was Noodle's translator and interpreter during Phase 1 and attended multiple written interviews with the band. He was retired during Phase 2 due to him not being needed anymore as Noodle regained the ability to speak fluent English.

Russel's Eel appears in its self-titled G-Bite The Eel.

2-D tries to knock the eel out with a mallet for Russel until Murdoc walks in, telling 2-D to stop the banging. When 2-D announces that he can't kill it, Murdoc then grabs a hold of the eel and takes it to the oven where he attempts to "melt its face". 2-D is worried that Murdoc will mess up and get burned, so he begins to bite his nails. Russel then walks in, asking where his eel is. Murdoc says that it feels "eel (ill)", and holds up the dead eel. The phrase "melt its face" made another appearance as graffiti on the Pac-Man cabinet in the video for PAC-MAN.

The Giant Elk was shown in the 19-2000 music video. By the look between him and the closest lamp post near his front left foot in calculations, the moose's height has to be close to 150 feet in height (three times the height of a Brachiosaurus).

Murdoc activates a secret mode of the Geep and fires two missiles at the moose, but he sneezes before the missiles hit him. The force is strong enough to make the missiles come hurtling back to earth on top of the Geep. The last shot is one of the Gorillaz looking worse for wear.

According to Rise of the Ogre, the elk was hired by Jamie Hewlett from an animal actors agency to be was used as a metaphor for creative intrusion – which, to gain an authentic on-screen reaction, he neglected to tell the band.

Trivia

The G-Flat documents erroneously refer to the animal as a moose instead of an elk.

The Mechanic from 19-2000 was shown at his petrol station along the highways near the salvation church. He wears a red shirt with blue overalls, as well as a green hat with the name Dwight written on, leading many to believe his name is Dwight.

All of his petrol pumps indicate that there are 3,472 liters of petrol left inside each one.

The UFO spots his Petrol station along the way while it was trying to burn up the Gorillaz for making the wrong turn. It blows up the petrol station for a flammable gas explosion to try and destroy the Gorillaz driving by in that distance. The Mechanic perished in the flames.

The monkey is shown in the 19-2000 music video. Many believe he is Mike the Monkey, but this can be disproved by the several physical differences between the two. The monkey is shown standing on a wrecked bridge during the verse ("There's a monkey in the jungle, watchin' a vapor trail. Caught up in a conflict between his brain and his tail.")

The Postman from "19-2000" appears on the highway bridge while the Gorillaz drive by underneath. He sits on his vehicle bare-chested, wearing a visor helmet and a sunflower necklace.

The Cheerleading Gorillas are inflatable, brightly-colored gorillas dressed up as cheerleaders. They appear in the "Rock the House" music video, cheering on Gorillaz and Del.

Laika is the Spacemonkeyz' spiritual leader as well as the first dog in space^W. The Spacemonkeyz searched the galaxy for their leader during 40 years and released Laika Come Home in an attempt to communicate with her and publicise their cause.

Inka The Ink Based Girl, also known as Inka Black,^[5] was a fan created character seen on a GeoCities website^[6] bookmarked on Murdoc's laptop. She is a groupie who appears to have had a relationship with Murdoc at some point, as evidenced by the many seductive photos of herself she took for him. It's likely that she's a fan of anime and other Japanese media based on one of her photos being labelled with the word "otaku," a term commonly used to describe anime and other Japanese media fans.

Inka was linked to the site by Zombie Flesh Eaters - self-insert ships were not commonplace during the time, and Zombie Flesh Eater members found the idea funny enough to make canon.

Trivia

Inka's favourite Gorillaz song at the moment of Phase 1 was Rock The House.^[5]

Jamion is a mixture of Jamie and Damon's evil halves (hence the name, duh), who was one of the first ideas for a character to front an animated band. The name and look of the character were given serious consideration, but it didn't go any further than that, until they realised the character in the Gorillaz: Charts Of Darkness mockumentary, where he is portrayed by Remi Kabaka Jr.^[7]

He was rumored to have fathered many children in the land of Stoke-on-Trent, and always avoided work, no matter what the cost. He first discovered Murdoc as a baby abandoned on his doorstep one night while arriving home from the pub. Over the years, he often forced Murdoc into taking part in talent contests in order to make some fast money. He died in 1998.

He called Murdoc many names such as "Nerdoc", "face ache", "odd sock," "wollybollocks", "gay lord," "runt," "reject" and "great stinking pile of horse dung." The list went on with new ones added daily. One day, Murdoc insulted Tony Chopper, calling him "a useless, bloated backward waste of space who would probably end up getting a job of holding up 'For Sale' signs on the corner of streets only to then get himself fired and replaced by a bucket of soil", causing him to punch Murdoc in the nose and giving him the first of the eight fractures in his wonky nose. In the book, he revealed that he was now 42 and works as a shelf stacker in a Happy Shopper.

Years later, he became the head of the Gorillaz music label Stateside, with a plan to kill off the Gorillaz and cash in on their success.

During the production of the "El Mañana" video in 2006, Murdoc approached Jimmy and offered to team up with him to complete his plan. Murdoc was to secretly stash a couple of guns in the windmill tower on the floating island, while Jimmy was to hide inside the tower and wait until the helicopters start firing. Then Manson was to come out from hiding, get the guns, kill Noodle, and parachute off the island. The cameras started rolling on March 7th, 2006. As the helicopters fired on the windmill island, Jimmy discovered that Murdoc had set him up by locking him inside the tower with no guns. While Noodle parachuted off the island safely, the island crashed, burned, and blown up, killing Jimmy Manson in the process. Murdoc was the last to see him alive.

Due to his immense size, Rick was unable to leave and is presumed dead. He is also a loyal Gorillaz fan and owns every single one of their releases on CD, vinyl, cassette and digital formats.

Trivia

Rick also has his own defunct Twitter account, making him one of the few Gorillaz characters to have a social media account, including the band itself and Cyborg Noodle.

The "Ship Attendant" appears in the On Melancholy Hill music video. He comes rushing towards Noodle's room at the start of the video and warns her that there are pirates attacking the ship.

Massive Dick was a great white whale hired by Murdoc to prevent 2-D (who suffers from cetaphobia, an irrational fear of whales) from escaping his underwater compartment at Plastic Beach. To fend off the whale, 2-D built the Donk Machine. During the attack on Plastic Beach, Massive tried to eat 2-D with his room, but was stopped by a giant Russel who threw him at a Black Clouds plane. Despite this, the whale survived and still managed to eat 2-D. However, a lifetime of eating ocean garbage had taken its toll, killing Massive Dick. His body washed up at Guadalupe and was eventually eaten by 2-D.^[9]

After deciding to cover up the incident, they continued production and released the film to negative reviews. Over time, the crew realised that they had stopped ageing. 25 years later, when the miracle wore off, they made another sacrifice and formed the Forever Cult, with the studio's founder, Lady Hollodown (now Moon Flower), as their high priestess. They continued to make sacrifices every 25 years to stay young until Gorillaz moved in next door and 2-D was chosen as their latest sacrifice. Feeling immense guilt and having a change of heart, Moon Flower helped the band by leaving them clues in hope that they could break the cycle, which they eventually did in the music video for Silent Running, in which they killed the Hollywood Demon. With the demon's death and its curse no longer sustaining them, the cultists dissipated into dust.^[16]
