''. This is a list of characters that appear in Rudyard Kipling's ''Jungle Book'' story collection, its sequel ''The Second Jungle Book'', and the various film adaptations based on those books. Characters include both human and talking animal characters. ==In the Mowgli stories== *Mowgli (मोगली; feral child), also referred to as Naked Frog. *Jungle characters * *Akela (अकेला ''Akēlā'', "alone"; Indian wolf), leader of the wolf pack. * *Raksha (रक्षा ''Rakṣā'', "protection"; Indian wolf), also called Mother Wolf, Mowgli's adoptive mother. * *Father Wolf (Indian wolf), Raksha's mate and Mowgli's adoptive father. The 1967 film names him "Rama", meaning "pleasant, supreme". * *Baloo (भालू ''Bhālū'', "bear"; sloth bear), Mowgli's best friend. In Kipling's book, he is described as a sleepy old bear, who teaches Mowgli the law of the jungle. * *Bagheera (बघीरा ''Baghīrā''; black panther), Mowgli's mentor. Hindi ''bāgh'' (बाघ) means "tiger". * *Bandar-log (बन्दर-लोग ''Bandar-lōg'', "monkey-folks"; grey langurs), monkeys who are treated as pariahs for their scatterbrained anarchy. They kidnap the very young Mowgli, who is rescued by Bagheera, Baloo, and Kaa. * *Ko (को ''Kō''; Indian crow), only mentioned * *Kaa (का ''Kā''; Indian rock python), Mowgli's wise mentor and friend. * *Hathi (हाथी ''Hāthī'', "elephant"; Indian elephant), leader of the elephants * *Hathi's sons (Indian elephants) * *Tabaqui (तंबाकूवी ''Taṃbakūvī''; golden jackal); he feeds on scraps from either Shere Khan or the wolves of the Seeonee Pack.

He sees himself as the rightful lord of the jungle. * *Rama (रमा ''Ramā''; water buffalo) * *Mysa (मौसा ''Maisā'', "uncle"; water buffalo) * *Chil (चील ''Cīl'', "kite"; brahminy kite), in earlier editions called Rann (रण ''Raṇ'', "battle") * *Ikki (इकी ''Ikī''; Indian porcupine), in earlier editions called Sahi (साही ''Sāhī'', "porcupine") * *Tha (था ''Thā'', "He was"; Indian elephant), the first of the elephants according to Hathi * *Thuu (थू ''Thū''; Indian cobra), also called White Hood, a blind albino cobra. Mowgli gives him the derisory epithet "Thuu" (allegedly meaning "it has dried" referring to the poison in Thuu's fangs) upon discovering that the supposedly deadly cobra's fangs are in fact withered and dried up from age and disuse. Protector of ancient treasures * *Grey Brother (Indian wolf); the oldest of Father Wolf and Raksha's cubs * *Phaona (फवाना ''Phavānā''; Indian wolf), Phao's father * *The Dholes * *Oo (ऊ ''Ū''; turtle) * *Jacala (जाचला ''Jacalā'', "obstacle"; Indian crocodile). In ''Red Dog'' it is stated that Mowgli broke a knife on Jacala's back during a protracted fight with him. * *Mao (मवा ''Mavā''; Indian peacock), in earlier editions called Mor (मोर ''Mōr'', "peacock") * *Won-Tolla (Indian wolf), an outlier who warns Mowgli's tribe of the dholes * *Chikai (चीकै ''Cīkai'', "squeak"; rat) * *Phao (फवा ''Phavā''; Indian wolf), son of Phaona, leader of The Free People * *Ferao (फोडवा ''Phōṛavā'', "woodpecker"; scarlet woodpecker) *Human characters * *Messua, wife of the richest man of the human village, who decides to adopt the wild Mowgli, believing (probably mistakenly) that he is their long-lost son Nathoo. * *Messua's husband, the richest man of the village; his name is not given. * *Nathoo (नत्थू ''Natthū''), the long-lost son of Messua and her husband, who has been snatched by a tiger (arguably, Shere Khan). * *Buldeo (बलदेव ''Baladēvā'', "powerful lord"), the elderly (or at least middle-aged) chief hunter of Messua's village. Buldeo is boastful, arrogant and superstitious, and is furious when Mowgli, who knows what the jungle is really like, contradicts some of Buldeo's more fanciful stories about the jungle. He hopes to get Shere Khan so he can get a substantial reward for the tiger's skin. * * Kamya (काम्या ''Kāmyā''), one of the village boys who herd buffalo along with Mowgli. In contrast to Messua's husband, he has a name but no description. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of The Jungle Book characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
