Yoko Tsuno Characters - Supporting

Supporting

There also are a large number of supporting characters, including such exotic personalities as aliens and people from the future and past.

• Khany: a member of the extraterrestrial race of Vineans. As of the end of La Forge de Vulcain and the fall of Karpan's leadership, she is also their undeclared leader who directs the return of the Vineans from Earth to Vinea. She is also undertaking expeditions to find lost Vinean colonies. Like Vic, she is quite careful in her actions. Khany appears in Le Trio de l'étrange, La Forge de Vulcain, Les Trois soleils de Vinéa, Les Titans, La Lumière d'Ixo, Les Archanges de Vinéa, Les Exilés de Kifa, La Porte des âmes and La Servante de Lucifer.

• Poky: originally Khany's twin sister, she had been left in suspended animation when her sister was revived, so she is still the age of a child while Khany is an adult. Playful and curious, she is quite attached to Yoko and finds Pol's grumping amusing. Poky appears in Le Trio de l'étrange, La Forge de Vulcain, Les Trois soleils de Vinéa, Les Titans, La Lumière d'Ixo, Les Archanges de Vinéa, Les Exilés de Kifa and La Porte des âmes.

• Rosée du Matin (Morning Dew): Yoko's adopted Chinese daughter, as of Le Dragon de Hong Kong. The child of two biologists who experimented with the artificial enlargement of animals, she was orphaned when her parents perished in a storm. She had been raised by her grandfather, but due to his deteriorating health, he entrusted guardianship to Yoko. She has so far also participated in Yoko's time travel exploits and her trips into outer space. Morning Dew appears in all albums from Le Dragon de Hong Kong onwards. Morning Dew is inspired by Roger Leloup's daughter which he adopted from Korea.

• Ingrid Hallberg: a famous German organist, she won Yoko's friendship when they investigated her father's mysterious death in l'Orgue du Diable. She later reappears in La Frontière de la vie, Le Feu de Wotan and L'Or du Rhin.

• Monya: a denizen of the far future and the daughter of a scientist, she travelled back in time in La Spirale du temps to prevent the destruction of the Earth. She succeeded, but since this intervention caused a new time parallel to which she could not return, she has remained in the 20th/21st century. While still undertaking time travels, she lives as Yoko's adopted cousin in Borneo on Yoko's cousin Izumi's plantation. She has additional appearances in Le Matin du monde, L'Astrologue de Bruges, La Jonque Céleste and La Pagode de brumes.

• Mieke: a young florist from 16th century Bruges, she met Yoko and her friends when they investigated a strange painting which depicted both Yoko and Monya in L'Astrologue de Bruges. She has become Pol's fiancee and returns in La Porte des âmes.

• Synda: the mother of Khany and Poky, she was put into suspended animation when the Vineans evacuated their home planet. Since the expected disaster did not occur, she remained alive and was eventually reanimated by her daughters and Yoko during Les Trois soleils de Vinéa. Since Synda was about Khany's age when she entered hibernation, both are now of the same age. Therefore, Synda has insisted that she and Khany should now be on first-name terms and consider each other sisters. Synda has a small role in Les Titans.

• Vynka: this Vinean male is Khany's trusted right-hand man and second-in-command and appears in Les Trois soleils de Vinéa, Les Titans and Les Archanges de Vinéa. A Vinean male that looks like him appears in La Lumière d'Ixo, but whether this is Vynka is unconfirmed.

• The Dancer in Stone: the relief of a dancing girl, which is carved into an old temple wall on Borneo close to the plantation of Yoko's cousin Izumi. Yoko has been coming to her to talk with her once in a while in La Spirale du temps, but in Le Matin du monde, the origin of the sculpture turns out to be more close to her than she may have thought.

• Aoki: a former Kamikaze pilot who became Yoko's substitute father after her grandfather had rescued him from his crashed plane. He dies in La Fille du vent while he helps Yoko to save Japan from an artificial tornado gone out of control.

• Myna: one of the refugees of Kifa, this small female android easily befriends Yoko and helps her out in her Vinean adventures ever since. She appears in both Les Exilés de Kifa and La Porte des âmes.
