Omi is a primary character from the Xiaolin Temple who journeyed in a quest for all Shen Gong Wu as the Dragon of Water in training. An orphaned monk, Omi was raised by Master Fung in the Xiaolin Temple, a mystical home where monks train to become Xiaolin Warriors. Omi had eventually became the Xiaolin Dragon of Water and although he believed he is the chosen one, he met with three other soon-to-be Xiaolin Warriors named Raimundo Pedrosa the former circus star, the talented blind and mute martial artist Kimiko Tohomiko, and the Texan cowboy Clay Bailey. Omi was initially skeptical and wary of them, beginning to doubt himself as the chosen one. However, Omi began to take a fondness for them, and they became not only his teammates, but also his best friends. The Xiaolin Dragon of Water met many enemies and adversaries with his team, ranging from the evil boy-genius, Jack Spicer, the evil Heylin witch, Wuya and to the once-good but currently evil Heylin Dragon, Chase Young. Omi's signature Shen Gong Wu is the Orb of Tornami, corresponding with Omi's liking towards water.
Omi was a very small boy, bearing a large, circular, bald head. Whilst having yellow skin, he had a big forehead where nine white dots appear when Omi fights with his true potential. These white dots can be taken as a metaphor of him unleashing his ultimate potential. Aside from this, he has elongated thin black eyebrows and small black eyes. He was also known to always wear his monk uniform, consisting of a red shirt slightly revealing his neck with black highlights, held tight with a black belt and using black pants with black dress shoes. He tends to wear this all the time, due to Omi's usual life of a monk, he was unknown of the rest to the world outside the Xiaolin Temple.The only times we saw him in anything but his monk uniform was when he would change into his special armor for a Xiaolin Showdown. Currently he has grown signifigently taller and his more sharper, he still wears his standard Xiaolin robes
Personality[]
While Omi is very skilled at what he did, he is also narcissistic, believing himself superior to his comrades in every possible way, which caused some tension, such as with Jermaine and Raimundo. This trait did not disappear or even slow down during the course of the series. The Bird of Paradise revealed that his greatest trait is loyalty. Omi's proud of his status as a Xiaolin monk as he always kept his word as a monk and was loyal to his comrades. Omi has a problem with American idioms and was constantly corrected. Originally, Omi's views on women is rather old-fashioned. Drawing on the words of a 1500-year-old book about women, he did not believe Kimiko was a capable fighter and saw her as being way too weak; which was backed up by her blindness and muteness. While he did not mean any genuine offense, he could not understand why Kimiko had seemed offended. He would later come to appreciate Kimiko as he became more aware of the modern world, although he still has trouble understanding Kimiko and girls in general. He also comes to realize that even though you are missing some of your six senses that does not mean it cannot make you more superior to others. When Kimiko had revealed her true powers to everyone after Raimundo turned Heylin; he had become increasingly jealous ever since.
History[]
Omi had lived at the Xiaolin Temple for most of his life. He was an orphan taken in by Master Fung, the head of the temple. He was very proficient in martial arts, so Master Fung started training him to become the Xiaolin Dragon of Water. Omi met the rest of the Dragons, and they began their quest to find all the Shen Gong Wu. Omi did not start off too well with his fellow Dragons, especially Raimundo, who pulled his pants down several times, and Kimiko who he deemed a distraction and taboo to become a dragon. This was when they had first met their enemies; Jack Spicer and Wuya. He fought Jack Spicer in a Xiaolin Showdown for the first time, his Two-Tone Tunic for Jack's Mantis Flip Coin. He began to lose, due to how heavy the Two-Ton Tunic was, but after using everything he learned from the other Dragons and Jack's carelessness, he got to the finish line first and was able to claim the Eye of Dashi as theirs. After some time, they had met Chase Young. Chase had seen potential in Omi, saying that he would one day become powerful enough to defeat him. Chase, knowing this, had told Omi he is working for the wrong side. He starts working to turn Omi to the Heylin side, or else he would be forced to destroy Omi altogether. Chase had convinced him to go into the Ying-Yang world to look for Master Fung, whom Chase had imprisoned. Omi, not knowing the danger of using the Ying Yo-Yo, and entered the Ying-Yang world, and came out without his good chi, turning him evil. Feeling betrayed by his friends, Omi joined Chase's side and for a time ruled alongside Chase. The other monks were able to restore Omi's chi, but Omi was still bound by the pledge of loyalty he made to Chase while evil. Chase had taken possession of Omi's chi shown through the transfer of his forehead dots, and in this way made Omi one of his Jungle Cats. With Omi's chi, Chase was even more powerful and unstoppable, but of course not for Kimiko who had fought him face-to-face and won. Omi´s friends had eventually wagered themselves and their eternal loyalty to Chase in exchange for Omi's freedom in a 4-on-4 soccer Showdown, which after a very tense game, the Xiaolin side had won, resulting in Omi
rejoining the good side once again and the world being restored to normal. After that little fiasco he turned his sights onto Kimiko, even though he would never show it he became increasingly agitated when she did not do things as he expected, such as using her fire in order to fight and instead engaging him on in a one-on-one hand-to-hand combat instead and beating him badly at that. After months and showdowns, Master Fung had told all the dragons that he would promote only one monk to master dragon, and tells them they all had to go on a quest of their own choice. Omi decided that he would go back in time to stop Chase Young from ever becoming evil. He did so by freezing himself for 80 years, so he could be awake in the future to get the Sands of Time. He found the temple destroyed, and the other monks captured. Jack Spicer had gained the upper hand and became the Emperor of Darkness. In this future it had been determined that Kimiko had been promoted to head dragon. Eventually, Omi is able to get the sands of time and travel back in time to save his friends from that horrible future. There, he had switched the Lou Mang Long soup the Soup of the dragons that Hannibal Roy Bean had planned to give Chase to make him evil for pea soup. Going into the present, he finds that Clay Bailey had become the head dragon and had the other dragons farm and live another life in the evil world concurred by an evil Master Monk Guan, whom Hannibal had turned after failing to do so to Chase. They were later captured, and in order to free them, the good Chase Young had drank the evil soup and became the evil lizard creature he was in the original timeline, sacrificing his good self in order to do so. Omi had returned to stop what he did. Omi, Kimiko, Clay, and Raimundo had fought against Hannibal Bean, Evil Master Monk Guan, Chase Young, and Wuya, in a four-way tag-team Xiaolin Showdown with the Xiaolin monks won. Omi had finally returned to a normal present, where Master Fung had eventually declared Raimundo Pedrosa as the head dragon. In the end, they all got ready to battle every villain they had ever faced, before the show ended.

Weakness[]
Omi is highly terrified of squirrels which he is usually attacked by. When the warriors went through Chase Young's land to get the Bird of Paradise, evil squirrels had attacked and Omi being paralyzed with fear. Furthermore, his self-centered attitude went against him making him seem hard to like, especially when it came to Raimundo. Later on, his fear shifted from fears to the Heylin Demon.
Originally, Omi's views on women were rather old-fashioned. Drawing on the words of a 1500-year-old book about women, he did not believe Kimiko was a capable fighter and saw her as being way too weak. While he did not mean any genuine offense, he could not understand why Kimiko and other girls seemed offended. He would later come to appreciate Kimiko as he became more aware of the modern world, although he still had trouble understanding Kimiko and other girls. But they are good friends. Kimiko is frequently showing him gadgets from the modern world and seen often protecting him from bullies like Raimundo. Omi has shown to enjoy Kimiko's hugs sometimes a bit too much for Kimiko's liking. Omi was the one who cheered Kimiko up when her father had been zombified by the Zing-Zom bone. In her other forms, he had stated that her big chest was warm and soft; which of course caused her to slam him into the nearest object so hard that it breaks in half. He complains that her disabilities are form of weakness and only serves his true point on his view on women more on a domestic weakness and should only be allowed to clean and cook. That of which comments lands him in his bed for two weeks give or take the most.
Omi and Raimundo has many contradicting personality traits. Omi is very studious and held great admiration for authority figures like Master Fung, Master Monk Guan, and Kimiko where as Raimundo is undisciplined and often has issues obeying authority figures. Though Raimundo often teases Omi once in awhile they do show care about each other similar to an older/younger brother relationship. When Raimundo had joined the Heylin, Omi found it the hardest to accept, and when Omi had joined the Heylin side in season two, Raimundo seemed to lead the group in multiple attempts in order to get him back. When Raimundo was named the Shoku Warrior, Omi was able to put his pride aside to be happy for him. He also stated once that he considers him one of his very best friends.
Clay, as he is with many people, they are very friendly towards Omi. Clay looked after Omi and protected him from danger. Omi and Clay almost never contradicted each other, and on many occasions saved each other from danger or even death.
Jermaine is one of Omi's best friends. They had met in New York in the episode My Homey Omi. They were pitied against each other as rivals when Jermaine had returned as Chase Young´s student, but in the end, they were friends again.
Omi had taken Ping Pong as his protégé, although he wanted to be Kimiko's instead. Omi had eventually grown jealous of him considering the fact he became the other monks favorite. But in the end, Omi trusted Ping and proudly welcomed him to the team.
Jack is the first villain Omi and his friends ever faced, and the person Omi has the most Xiaolin Showdowns with. In spite of this Omi and Jack have numerous traits in common. Both are very talented in their own ways, Omi in martial arts and Jack in robotic engineering. They are both extremely egotistical, Jack believing he is the world's greatest evil boy genius and Omi thinking he is the greatest Xiaolin warrior ever. They both also seem to have family issues, Omi being orphaned and Jack's parents apparently having no involvement in his life. Unlike his friends (except of course Kimiko), Omi seems to see some good in Jack. When Jack helps the monks defeat Wuya, Omi had invited Jack to live with them in the temple, to which Jack had refused but offered going out for ice cream sometime. A second time Omi had offered Jack to join the temple, he accepted, though he returned to his evil ways. In a showdown with Jack, Omi accurately guessed that Jack wanted to conquer the world because he felt insignificant and that he did want to become good but he gave up because he believed he would fail.
Chase is the villain who had successfully turned Omi to the Heylin side, even turning Omi into one of his jungle cats. Chase has used many tricks in order to test Omi's abilities, such as taking Jermaine on as an apprentice so he could fight Omi for him. He had also tricked Omi into going inside the Ying-Yang World to save Master Fung, ultimately losing his good side there. Chase was also shown to have a good side from time to time, helping the Xiaolin Warriors defeat spider monsters from the Earth's crust, and giving Omi information to help him and his friends defeat Sibini the evil spirit of mischief who took over Clay´s mind. Omi used the Sands of Time in order to go to the past and stop Chase from becoming evil, however the future was so awful, that as a result good Chase had willingly sacrificed himself to become evil in order to restore things to what they were supposed to be in order to both save Omi, his fiance and his friends. Even though Chase has a new apprentice, he still has a tendency to get Omi to the Heylin side, as shown in Laws of Nature.
