Information About

Mojo Jojo




Mojo Jojo (voiced by Roger L. Jackson ) is a fictional character in the Cartoon Network Animated Series '' The Powerpuff Girls ''. He is a notorious Genius Monkey Mad Scientist who lives in his lab in the middle of Townsville, USA inside an astronomy observatory tower built atop a dormant volcano. His main goal is to destroy the Powerpuff Girls, crush Townsville, and conquer the world, in that order. In order to do this, he spends much of his time plotting and inventing new weapons technology. This normally comes in the shape of giant Robot s or large Energy Weapons . He was also the creator of The Rowdyruff Boys .

Ironically, Mojo is responsible for creating the Powerpuff Girls. He was a lab assistant named Jojo, working for Professor Utonium , when he caused the professor to accidentally add Chemical X to his formula of sugar and spice and everything nice. This accident created the Powerpuff Girls, but it also caused Jojo's Brain to grow huge, turning him into the nefarious Mojo Jojo. He wears a delicate glass dome hat over his gigantic, exposed brain; the dome is frequently broken in fights with the Powerpuff Girls. Another time he tried to prevent the
creation of the Powerpuff Girls by going back in time and destroying Professor Utonium as a child. In the nick of time, the Powerpuff Girls also go back in time and save Professor Utonium ; in turn the
Professor is inspired to study science which in turn lead to the creation of the Powerpuff Girls. Thus Mojo is the "father" of his most feared enemies -twice!!

Mojo speaks )

Note that Mojo seems to be ''unaware'' of this habit. In one episode Bubbles had her head crushed and thought that she was Mojo Jojo, and thus spoke redundantly just as Mojo does. However, Mojo accused her of repeating phrases nonsensically.

He is disliked by other monkeys, who think he gives monkeys a bad name. When he's not doing bad things he's also a great (and rather artistic) chef in Japanese Cooking . Still, the Girls dislike his cooking, possibly because he prepares Sushi the traditional way, with hot Wasabi , and small children tend to dislike too-spicy dishes.

Strangely enough, there are 5 episodes with Mojo saving the day instead of the Powerpuff Girls, making Mojo the second largest day-saver in the series after the Girls (as is being shown in the final shot). He usually hates to face it.

He also makes a Cameo appearance as an unimaginary friend (Because the idea was simply copied from TV) in the pilot episode of '' Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends ''.

The 2000 CD release ''The Powerpuff Girls: Heroes and Villains'' on Rhino Records features a cut called "Go Monkey Go" by Devo . The corresponding music video was occasionally shown on Cartoon Network.
