لولو الصغيرة

Her full name is Lulu Moppet. Supporting characters include her friends Tubby Tompkins (who later got his own short-lived comic book series—49 issues plus two specials), Annie, Iggy, Gloria, Wilbur Van Snobbe, Alvin, Ol' Witch Hazel and Little Itch.

• Lulu Moppet. Lulu is the title character and is often the ringleader of the girls. As such, she is their leader of their less formal club. Her best friend is Annie. Lulu is a kind and sincere little girl who, though prone to mischief, usually ends up saving the day.

• Tubby Tompkins. Tubby, whose real name is Thomas, is Lulu's friend and occasional foe. He has helped Lulu many times, and has tormented her just as much. His closest friends are Eddie, Willy and Iggy, who happens to be Annie's younger brother. When they are together, they can be as mean to Lulu as any boy would. His parents, Jim and Ellie Tompkins, have less patience with his antics than Lulu's parents had with hers. In fact, Tubby was spanked with more frequency than Lulu. As the junior detective, later nicknamed "the Spider", he has helped Lulu get out of hot water when she is punished for something that her father has done. He has a couple of cousins that he doesn't like. His cousin Jefferson was outright mean; and Chubby was almost a mirror image, excepting his height.

• Alvin Jones. The little neighbor boy who is younger than Lulu and is often vexing towards her and her family. To placate the extremely troublesome Alvin, Lulu usually tells him stories, often starring Lulu and her mother, as a poor family who usually tries to make ends meet with little. Later on, even though Lulu as a poor girl is still used, the wicked Witch Hazel and her equally evil niece, Little Itch, became the antagonists of the stories. Alvin himself has a younger brother named Cedric, who torments him, just as he torments Lulu.

• Annie. Lulu's best friend and occasional co-conspirator in her schemes to best the boys. She is the sister of Iggy and the two were often at each other's throats. They have a grandfather named Grandpa Feeb. Like most of the characters, their last names were variable with the stories, mainly her name was either Inch or McGee.

• Wilbur Van Snobbe. The typical and very snobby rich kid who antagonizes not just Lulu, but everyone else, as he thinks he is more superior than his peers. One of his least endearing traits is the patronizing and extremely rude way that he treats his servants, which cause him to be referred to as "brat!" (At first, his name was "Van Snobble", but was later accepted as Van Snobbe.) Wilbur's main nemesis was Gertie Greenbean, who fought him numerous times. He has also clashed with Tubby on many occasions, but in the end, is vanquished, bested and humiliated because he so often underestimates his opponents.

• Willy Wilkins; Eddie Stimson and Iggy. Tubby's friends and co-horts, in their (more formal than the girls) club. They are the ones who usually torment Lulu and the other girls. Sometimes, they turn the tables on Tubby, who seems to not pay his club dues on a frequent basis. Willy is the president and Eddie is usually the treasurer. At times, they usually end up needing Lulu to help them out, most especially against their cross-town rivals, the West Side Boys. During these occasions, they usually end up victorious, and are happy Lulu is there to help them out.

• Snobbly. Wilbur's Butler, created by Arnold Drake.

Little Lulu also starred in her own Japanese anime TV series, Little Lulu to Chicchai Nakama (Little Lulu and Her Little Friends), made by Nippon Animation Company. The 26-episode series, directed by Fumio Kurokawa and featuring famed seiyuu Eiko Masuyama and Minori Matsushima as the voice of Lulu, aired originally in Japan from October 1976 to April 1977. An English-dubbed version of the anime was made for the American market by Ziv International in 1978, and the series was also released in Italian, Hebrew, Arabic and Spanish. The Little Lulu anime is extremely rare and has been out of print in the United States for years. Although some full-length English-language episodes were posted on YouTube, they have since been removed.
