  • Nice Guy: Tipo has a kind and fun-loving personality.
  • Sibling Team: With Chaca when they distract Yzma with their mother.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: A sibling version. With Chaca. Justified since he’s younger.
  • “Well Done, Son” Guy: Implied. Tipo greatly admires his father and wants to be just like him.
  • Wise Beyond Their Years: Like Chaca, Tipo is very smart for his age and helps his mother and sister distract Yzma so his father and Kuzco can escape back to the palace. He and Chaca also very often help Kuzco out in the TV series.

    Mr. Moleguaco 

Voiced by: Curtis Armstrong; Roberto Mendiola (Latin Spanish dub)

Kuzco’s teacher.

  • Apathetic Teacher: He becomes this over time. He’s usually pretty reasonable and good with students, but he’s often exasperated by Kuzco’s antics and eventually worn down. By Season 2, he acknowledges how he encourages Kuzco to skip class and welcomes the idea of being fired.

    Mr. Moleguaco: [to class] Wake me when I have to do something.

  • Punny Name: Mr. Moleguaco. Get it? Like the word guacamole?
  • Stern Teacher: He often finds himself constantly lecturing Kuzco on his various shenanigans and forces Kuzco to learn from them with an assignment.

  • Catchphrase: “Kuzco rules!”
  • Everyone Has Standards: While a real Fan Boy to Kuzco, there are times when Kuzco makes him angry. He even joined everyone in saying they hated Kuzco when his scheme to get them out of work only succeeded in getting them a mean substitute teacher who octupled their homework.
