Kuzco

Emperor Kuzco (or simply known as just "Kuzco") is the main protagonist of the series and movie. He is the teenage ruler of the Incas. His arch-nemesis is Yzma, who wants to be emperess. His best friends are Pacha, who is a portly villager from the countryside of the Incas, and Kronk Pepikrankenitz, Yzma's dim-witted henchman. His love interest is Malina, who he often refers to as a "hottie hot hottie".

Kuzco is very self-centered, thinking that everyone should be put below him, because he is "emperor".

Kuzco is forced by law to graduate from "Kuzco Academy," a school, that he paid for, in order to stay emperor. Yzma and Kronk continually plot to make sure that Kuzco fails his class and he doesn't become emperor. Kuzco's catch phrases are "Boom, baby!" and "It's all about me!".

He is 18 years old. He has black long hair. His occupation is an emperor and a student at Kuzco Academy. He wears emperor clothing: a red and yellow robe and a yellow emperor crown. He also has aqua earings on his ears.

Kuzco is initially portrayed as a spoiled, selfish, cocky, sarcastic teenager, albeit with a sense of flair and pizazz. Kuzco's name is a reference to the ancient Incan city of Cuzco. He is voiced by J.P. Manoux (David Spade in the movie).
