When he was a five to six year old child in Gujarat, Jun saw both his parents being kidnapped into Assam by mysterious forces, not to be seen again until a decade later. As a result, he lived in the tropical forests of western India with a grumpy Bengal tigress, who herself has only a single surviving offspring (who happens to be a male tiger, stronger than his weak older brother) after eating another due to the latter being unfit for survival.

Nuha (ヌハ): Nuha is so deep in mind which means people forget she exists at all.
Ruksha (ルクシャ): Ruksha, a minor character, turns out to open the treasure with the tiger statue’s key, making history. She even turns into a spy at the end.
Toma Kaneko (金子当麻):
Samantha Wood (サマンサ・ウッド): Samantha Wood, a plain mixed British-Indian, was abandoned by her middle aged Garo mother in the forests near Rongon falls in western Meghalaya, probably because she knew that the former is the daughter not only of herself, but also of a Welsh guy who probably groped her to hell and back.
Kana Moriyama (森山佳奈): Jun’s plucky childhood friend. Her mother is Noriko and her likely father is the White Skull, a cult escapee. Her uncle is Shotaro Moriyama and her paternal cousin is Joe Moriyama, Kenya Boy/Jungle Hunter himself.

Reiko Kodama (純児レイコ): Reiko Kodama is the older sister of Jun and Yuji, who was about nine when Jun was born. She survives as a mystic in India.
Mabon (マボン) (มาบอน): Mabon is a good natured bad boy who practices witchcraft. His friend is the more sly Govannan, who himself is married to Sheetha Kokonoe.
Goera (ゴエラ): Goera is most likely a wild man with psychic powers thanks to being experimented by Shigeo Kojima at a young age. He seldom speaks but is one of the most erudite characters in the whole Tiger Boy series.

Govannan (ゴバンナン) (โกวานนัน): Govannan was once friends with Tylen, until he was forced to kill him in order to flee Hafgan’s reign of utter terror, along with fellow friends. He is an anti-villain who considers the Tiger Boy to be his worthy opponent.
Pryderi (プリデリ): Even though Pryderi was Hafgan’s younger brother (unlike his namesake), he was insanely perverted, so much so that he couldn’t be officially married for the rest of his life. In Kenya Boy, he was sacrificed by Gwydion to the fire after killing way too many of his fellow asshole relatives.
