Dr. Wasabi is the main villain in the "Chop Socky Chooks" cartoon. He is a psychotic piranha who wears a water helmet and hatches evil schemes from his high-rise business office. His henchman is Bubba, a 600-pound albino gorilla. Because Bubba does not have a very large brain, he struggles to keep up with Dr. Wasabi. Bubba also has a big heart and a childlike innocence, which sometimes allows him to see the bigger picture. Dr. Wasabi also employs an indeterminate number of Ninja Chimps, who all wear identical black costumes and often battle the chooks.
