The Furious Five

The Furious Five are the supporting protagonists of the franchise;

The Furious Five are deemed the most skilled warriors in China. The Five were all trained by Shifu, and are homages to the Five Animals Southern styles of Chinese martial arts (i.e. crane, viper, monkey, mantis, and tiger). The Furious Five initially refused to believe that Po was the Dragon Warrior, but later grew to respect his courage and tenacity. When Tai Lung was defeated by Po in single combat, they were convinced enough to bow to the giant panda as a master.

Po has become fast friends with the Five and regularly fights alongside them and they have incorporated their group tactics with him to become an even more formidable fighting force. Discussing Po's new placement with the Furious Five in Kung Fu Panda 2, Jack Black has regarded Po as the "technical leader" of the quintet. However, because he is "still finding his way" through his insecurities and clumsiness, the group doesn't become the "Furious Six", but rather "The Furious Five and the Dragon Warrior" — with Master Tigress as the "real" leader according to Black.
