Let’s find out…

Kai

Harnessing the power of fire, Kai is a leader in the NINJAGO team. A brave, impulsive ninja, Kai is a headstrong character determined to reach his goal whatever stands in his way. Fighting alongside his sister, Nya, Kai is the Elemental Master of Fire, just like his father. He’s a massive personality within the team and a popular character among NINJAGO fans.

You can find Kai fighting evil in the following sets:

Nya

Nya is bold, fearless and brave. She is the Elemental Master of Water, just like her mother, and is one strong, determined woman. After proving her worthiness as Samurai X, Nya was accepted into the NINJAGO team, and the team certainly wouldn’t be the same without her. Alongside her incredible ninja mastery, Nya is an inventive genius who uses her skills to create gadgets helping the team on their quests.

Discover Nya’s adventures in these sets:

Lloyd

Grandson of the First Spinjitzu Master, son of the evil Garmadon, and nephew of the wise Master Wu, there’s more to the Elemental Master of Energy than meets the eye. The youngest of the team, Lloyd still has plenty to learn but has come a long way on his path to justice thanks to the guidance of Master Wu and his ninja friends. Lloyd is the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master and has trained hard to unlock his Golden Powers after being reunited with his mother, Misako. Lloyd is a brave leader who believes in the power of teamwork.

Look for Lloyd in these exciting sets:

Zane

Meet Zane, the ninja robot aka Nindroid (yes, that’s a thing). Created by Dr. Julien in Birchwood Forest, Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice. Zane is a vital NINJAGO character bringing more than just computer intelligence to the team. Despite being a robot, Zane has the biggest heart of all and dedicates himself to bringing peace and freedom to the realm.

Bring Zane to life with these epic sets:

Cole

A confident, grounded NINJAGO character, Cole is the Elemental Master of Earth pursuing his destiny as a brave ninja warrior. With immense physical strength, Cole is always there to help his team when needed in combat. After challenging himself to climb the tallest mountain in the realm, Master Wu invited Cole to join him at the Monastery of Spinjitzu to train as a ninja, and the rest was history...

Find Cole in action with these sets:

Jay

Jay is the Lightning Ninja. After being abandoned as a baby by his famous father, Cliff Gordon, Jay was fostered by junkyard inventors who brought him up to be quick-witted and fast-natured. The speed-talker of the bunch, Jay is a loveable, popular character among NINJAGO fans, particularly for his sense of humor and overdramatizations.

Arin

Have you ever met a ninja super-fan? Enter Arin! Fun and outgoing; he looks out for everyone and loves making new friends. But if you cross him, be prepared to face down one of the best street fighters of his age. Looking up to the ninja, his dream is to train with them and even, one day, maybe join them! Oh, and fun fact, Arin is an accomplished baker. So, who wants pie? The whole city does!

Discover this Spinjitzu prodigy with these sets:

Sora

Smart and inventive, Sora is super creative, but she’s a realist, too (with some pessimistic leanings) and can often be a little sceptical, unlike Arin who can be quick as a flash to believe. Also unlike Arin, Sora isn’t a huge fan of the ninja – mostly because she’s never really heard of them! Master of Tech, she can often be found tinkering with mechs, which she builds and races whenever she can get her hands on spare parts.

Check out Sora in the following sets:

Wyldfyre

With a talent for talking to dragons, fierce Wyldfyre is always ready to fight for her friends – she’s the Master of Heat, after all! As a baby, Wyldfyre fell from the sky in a capsule, with a Caregiver bot, and was raised and protected by a lava dragon, Heatwave. When the Merge (a mysterious event that shuffles the universe) happens, Wyldfyre suddenly has a new, never-seen-before element – heat – controllable with the help of her Caregiver bot.

Unleash Wyldfyre’s powers in these sets:

Master Wu

The man who made this whole thing possible, Master Wu. An ancient mentor and the Master of Creation, he has taught the ninja all they need to know about the art of Spinjitzu. He is the Spinjitzu Master’s second-born son and the younger brother of Garmadon. Master Wu empowers the NINJAGO ninja to seek inner peace and use their greatness for good. We all need a Master Wu in our lives.

Garmadon

With good, there is evil – and this evil is in the form of Garmadon. Bitten by the Great Devourer as a child, Garmadon was poisoned and took an opposing path to his younger brother, Master Wu. One of the most complex NINJAGO characters, Garmadon has been both freed of his evil by his son Lloyd and resurrected as evil after sacrificing himself to save the NINJAGO world. Good, bad, good, bad… he keeps the ninja on their toes.

Now you know more about the NINJAGO characters than your kids do. It’s time to put your knowledge to the test. Let’s NINJA-GO!
