Characters
- J-Team
- Jackie Chan (Chan live-action, James Sie animated) - Jackie is an archaeologist in the series who lives in San Francisco, with his Uncle. He is forced into many adventures after being spured on by his uncle and close friend to stop the Dark Hand from evils acts with magical artifacts and later went up against similar evil forces.
- Jade Chan (Stacie Chan) - Jade is Jackie's Hong Kong-born niece, who quickly adapts to American culture. She is adventurous, and to that extent, frequently disobeys her uncle's advice to remain in safety, preferring to accompany Jackie as he uses his martial arts abilities.
- Uncle Chan (Sab Shimono) - Uncle, as he is known (his actual name unrevealed), is the uncle to Jackie and great-uncle to Jade. He is an antique store owner, and an accomplished chi wizard, learning his skills from one Master Fong. He has a stereotypical Chinese accented drawl, and often uses Cantonese in many aspects of his speech (his magic incantation is, in fact, Cantonese slang). As a child, he was part of the Seven Little Fortunes opera troupe (a troupe that the real-life Jackie was a part of), and thus received opera school training. HIs character is ostensibly based on Charles Chan, the father to Jackie.
- Tohru (Noah Nelson) - Tohru was once the large enforcer of the Dark Hand and personal servant of Valmont, its leader. However, he quickly changed allegiences when the Dark Hand manages to revive Shendu, who then double-crosses them. Forced to fight Shendu alone, he was quickly defeated, and subsequently turned himself into Section 13's authorities. After an ordeal that allowed Tohru some degree of freedom, he became Uncle's apprentice in his magic. In the later parts of the series, he is billed as a sumo wrestler, although having no training in such an area. In the fourth season, he is also found to be a descendant of a samurai.
- Captain Augustus Black (Clancy Brown) - Captain Black is the head of Section 13 and Jackie Chan's longtime friend. Although he had strongly believed against the existence of magic (perhaps as a government policy), he quickly changed his beliefs when he saw Shendu with his own eyes. Since then, he is frequently covering up the actions of Jackie as he undertakes his various magic-related adventures.
- El Toro Fuerte (Miguel Sandovan) - El Toro Fuerte (often abbreviated El Toro) is a Mexican masked luchador, who prides himself at never removing his mask. Originally the holder of the Ox Talisman, which granted super strength, he gives up the talisman to prove that his skills are legitimate.
- Paco (Franco Velez) - Paco is El Toro Fuerte's #1 fan, who believes that El Toro is the greatest fighter ever. Although his belief has been questioned throughout the series, he remains loyal to El Toro, who had given him his own mask as a reward of loyalty, and became a sidekick to El Toro.
- Viper (Susan Eisenberg) - Viper is an ex-thief who had, ironically enough, stolen the Snake Talisman before repenting her ways. Although there remains persistent doubts as to her trustworthiness, she is usually valued in times of need.

The Twelve Talismans
The Talismans appeared in the first season of the show, and have reappeared frequently since. Each of the twelve Talismans bears an engraving of one of the animals of the Chinese Zodiac, and represents one of the magical powers that was stripped from Shendu when he was defeated by the immortal Lo Pei. The powers can be used by others, too, and are usually activated by holding in the hand. When the Talismans were destroyed by Jackie, their powers inhabited unique 'noble animals' of the type depicted on the talismans. The Talisman powers were removed from these animals and locked into talismans again at the end of Season 3. The talisman powers are as follows.
- Tiger: Balance (of the Yin Yang variety) - When split in two, it divides the user into two individuals, one representing Yin and the other Yang. The power of the Tiger Talismen balances out the conflicting powers of the other Talismens.
- Rabbit: Super speed
- Dragon: Combustion - This talisman allows the user to shoot fireballs out of the talisman. It should be noted that Shendu, as the Demon Sorceror of Fire, was still able to *breathe* fire without this talisman
- Snake: Invisibility
- Horse: Healing Power
- Sheep: Astral Projection
- Monkey: Shape-Shifting (Animal shapes only) - The user of this talisman could change themselves or any other individual into an animal of their choice
- Rooster: Levitation/Telekinesis
- Dog: Immortality/Invulnerbility/Youthful Energy
- Pig: Heat Beam Eye Blasts
- Rat: "Motion to the Motionless" - This talisman is able to bring any inanimate object to life when affixed to it. Objects in the form of a living creature (for example statues or toys) will become that creature (including all eccessorires)
- Ox: Super Strength
