Code Lyoko: Jim Morales

Jim Morales (voiced by David Gasman in American English and Frederic Meaux in French, also note Jim Moralès in France) is the Kadicphysical education teacher, handyman, chief disciplinarian, Pencak Silat instructor and campus/dorm monitor. He has worked at the school for twenty years, as Jim states in Holiday in the Fog. As campus supervisor and PE teacher, his job is to make sure that the children follow the school's myriad of strict rules, but he ends up acting ridiculous and clumsy at every turn; when the students do break the rules or incur his ire, he usually (in a very angry tone) threatens them with some form of disciplinary action, such as grounding Milly and Tamiya to their room in the first episode for wandering into the tool shed when they were only trying to reclaim Milly's teddy bear - however, Milly herself says in the same scene that he believes everything is off-limits to the kids. He is also the prime target for school pranks. When XANA launches attacks against the schoolchildren, his attitude shifts to that of a kind and loving protector. His nickname, as revealed in "False Start", is Jimbo, which is something he claims that his friends used to call him when he was the students' ages.

In addition to his jobs at Kadic, Jim has apparently served under a wide variety of occupations, such as an army soldier and an actor. However, any attempt to get him to elaborate on his past occupations is usually met with his trademark catchphrase answer of "I'd rather not talk about it." He has a nephew named Chris, who is the drummer for the Subdigitals. He also has an interest in Suzanne Hertz, with a few episodes hinting at possible feelings between the two teachers.

Jim is also the only person, aside from William Dunbar and Sissi Delmas, to have known the secret of Lyoko and the gang (for more than a very brief period of time). In one episode, He accidentally gets Jeremy injured during a chase scene. The principal found them and fired Jim. Jeremy and the crew took pity on Jim and told him everything, even allowing him to live in the factory for a short time. He proved to be very valuable when XANA materializes his monsters into the real world, where Jim met them with a nail gun and managed to protect the Kadic students in the real world while the rest of the gang went to Lyoko to deactivate the tower. Afterwards Jeremy did a return to the past which took everyone back to before Jim was fired and erasing his knowledge of Lyoko.

Jim's hair is quite short, Brown, and pulled back somewhat by a sweatband around his forehead. He also wears a bandage on his cheek, which he has never explained. In the first three seasons, Jim wears a white short-sleeved t-shirt, concealed under a dark red tracksuit jacket which covers all his upper body and his belly, along with dark gray jogging pants and brown sneaker. Other than his overweight stomach, Jim's arms are muscular.
