Rintoo (Chinese: 仁太) is one of the main characters of the Nickelodeon series, Ni Hao, Kai-Lan. He is voiced by Jack Samson. He first appeared in the premiere episode Dragonboat Festival, where he was first heard from Kai-Lan via his signature roar.

Basic Information[]

Rintoo is the main character in the show who often acts before he thinks. He is yellow rather than orange, probably because he's a Chinese bengal tiger rather than a normal bengal tiger. He is one of Kai-Lan's friends and he even shares a special handshake with her. He likes to play rough but when it comes to his friends, he's willing to compromise. He can be very overexcited and rambunctious about things and sometimes, problems can happen. However, with help from his friends, his problems can be solved. He is good at roaring, as Kai-Lan stated in Safari Pals. Even though he is with Hoho most of the time, his actual best friend is Kai-Lan. He might be a tiger, but he is sweet on the inside. He is 5 years old.

He has been hurt twice; the first one happened in Ni Hao, Halloween, when he tripped on a rock and sprained his ankle, ruining his chances of going trick-or-treating with his friends which in turn caused him to cry. The only other instance of this was in Kai-Lan's Playhouse, when Hoho hit his leg when he had terrible luck at finding things for his wall; however, that blow from Hoho didn't result in Rintoo crying as Ye-Ye shook it off. Rintoo's favorite things are race cars and Chinese dragons.

Appearance[]

Rintoo has yellow fur with brown stripes, white hair, & a brown nose. He also has black eyes with white pupils.
