(Redirected from Kuki Sanban (Codename: Kids Next Door))
|
Kuki Sanban a.k.a. Numbuh 3 is one of the four deuteragonists of the 2002-2p08 animated series, Codename: Kids Next Door. She is a Japanese-American Kids Next Door Operative in Sector V.
Why She Rocks
- She is is the happy-go-lucky girl of Sector V, which is very believable due to her lovable personality.
- She's the "Diversionary Tactics Expert," and is the nurse of the medical lab and the primary caretaker of hamsters in Sector V.
- She obviously cares about her teammates very much, which is often shown throughout the series.
- She seems to also have a capability of speaking languages that would normally be considered gibberish or non-understandable, shown in Operations: D.I.A.P.E.R. and V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E. (Baby and Firefly, respectively).
- She is the pilot of Hippy-Hop, a giant mechanical rabbit that is equipped with a complete arsenal of weapons such as missiles and drills.
- There’s a funny running gag throughout the show that Hippy-Hop gets destroyed whenever it appears, followed by Numbuh 3 ejecting from the wreck with a parachute, despite being close to the ground.
- She shares a very close bond with Mushi, her younger sister, and treats Kuki as her "best friend," both having similar personalities.
- Despite her happy-go-lucky nature, she knows when to fight evil and never gives up a fight, sharing the same loyalty as her teammates.
- She's shown to not be as air-headed as she acts, such as joking with Numbuh 1 when he was leaving for the Galactic KND in Operation I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.
- Out of all members, she is closer to Numbuh 4, and she has feelings for him which is mutual.
- This is saying something since she is also a "dude magnet" who caught the attention of several boys finding her attractive such as Wally/Numbuh 4, Numbuh 30C, The Kid, and Sandy (before seeing her sister Mushi).
Bad Qualities
- Her overly childish attitude can be annoying.
- Her obsession with Rainbow Monkeys shows a scary side of her, and not in a good way.
- It also makes her very insensitive to Wally (Numbuh 4) as even though she knows he doesn't like Rainbow Monkeys, she doesn't care and forces him to get involved with her.
- While she normally fights off evil, her happy attitude sometimes makes her oblivious to some deeper evil.
- For example, she doesn’t know that her own younger sister, Mushi, is sadly not as sweet as she thought she was, and she actually has a very sinister and conniving personality, despite her age. Thankfully, she did find out thanks to Numbuh 2 exposing Mushi’s true colors in Operation: C.L.U.E.S., which left her saddened and heartbroken, but got through it and moved on, still being her happy self, much like how Numbuh 5 is still her normal self after knowing her sister was evil.
- She tends to foolishly listens to Numbuh's conspiracy theories and ignores Numbuh 5 when she points they're wrong.
Trivia
- Her favourite type of Rainbow Monkey is an orange one, referencing her crush on Wallabee, a.k.a. Numbuh 4, specifically his orange hoodie.
- Her codename is linked to her last name "Sanban", which is Japanese for "Number 3"; san (三) means three and ban (番) means number.
- Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S. shows she married Numbuh 4 in the future.
- Her given name is Japanese for "stem" (茎). It can also be written as 空気 (kūki), which means "air", and reflects her carefree personality.
