Did you know that in CODENAME: KIDS NEXT DOOR...

The real name of the five main characters is a reference to each of their numbered codenames. Number 5's name is Abigail Lincoln which is a reference to Abraham Lincoln whose face is on the $5 bill. Number 4 is Wallabee Beetles which references the 4 members of a pretty famous band.
Number 3's name is Kuki Sanban and Sanban means 3rd in Japanese. Number 2 is Hogarth Pennywhistle Gilligan Jr. and the "Jr." means that he's the 2nd person in his family to have that name. Number 1's name is Nigel Uno and of course uno means 1 in Spanish.

"Uno means one in Spanish"

*Sad Italian noises*

[ONI-GAMI]

All other members: complicated

1: uno means one.

Did you know that Numbuh 86 also has a hidden meaning in her name.

She's head of the Decommissioning Squad, who remove the memories of anyone over 13 who was a KND operative, effectively ending their time as an operative of the KND

There is a term known as being "eighty sixed, " meaning fired, cancelled or otherwise gotten rid of, a reference to her occupation

[roadrunner]

Everyone: **talking about their names**

Me: *”How long has it been since I watched this?”*

[katabooz]

I love this show because the whole thing feels like a Newgrounds flash animation

[OddSauce]

Sanban or 三番 is actually more precisely "the third element in an ordered group" or more simply "number three"

[boarragnarok]

Wallabie is one of my favourite bands.

I'M SO OVERWHELMED WITH NOSTALGIA. I used to love this show. I'm 26 and still remember some of the episodes.

Numbuh 2's last name could be reference to Gilligan's Island. Gilligan, though the titular character, was the Skipper's first mate, aka *second* in command.

My favorites as a kid was Kuki. I loved her personality!

[isaacyeon]

Another fun fact: Number 3’s voice actress voices Lady Masako in Ghost of Tsushima

[ficklemoose]

“Abigail Lincoln is a reference to Abraham Lincoln”

The actual Abigail Lincoln: *am i a joke to you*

(Abigail is Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln’s daughter)

[Orbaek-]

"no, Uno refers to the cards game when you yell Uno when there's one last card in your hand"

[cloudthecat]

GOD DAMN
It's been 10 years since I've seen this show
The nostalgia hurts

[enchantedpotions]

Finally
After all these years
I now know all of their names

[fkvncecuh]

I remember the last episode I saw watching that show, the one where they had to go inside of Number 4's stomach to remove some brussel sprouts

[cosmicfails]

Also to double (heh) down on Number 2's name
His surname is Gilligan, like the show, Gilligan's Isle
And the name sake character was considered the second in command

[tzunamyid]

I had completely forgotten for like 6 or 7 years that this cartoon exists. Your short just hit me with nostalgia harder than a Mike Tyson right hook.

[off-the-grounder]

Hogarth Pennywhistle Gilligan Sr. must have felt someone else needed to go through the pain he did, so he inflicted his name upon his son. Would fit with the whole “adult tyranny” thing.

When I was little I had a KND video cartridge for my GBA, those were some good times
