Master Udon is a con artist who first appears in the episode "Karate Island" as the main antagonist, and was voiced by the late Pat Morita. He is the owner of the Condo Island.

Roles in series
"Karate Island"
Udon is the fish who calls SpongeBob to come to the mysterious Karate Island. He is revealed to be a con man because he captures SpongeBob and attempts to make him buy real estate. He has quite a few recruits and orders them to stop Sandy from getting to him: The Tickler, Lipp Cervas, and Filthy Phil.
It is revealed at the end of the episode that despite his small stature, Udon has extremely large muscles when he fights Sandy. And it's revealed that Udon can roar like a lion. Though quite muscular, he seems to have a low fighting capacity, as when he fights, he uses sloppy punches and forward slaps; though, he actually is able to go toe-to-toe with Sandy. Udon is defeated by her and falls out of the condo window, landing in the goo/water.
However, he is shown to have survived at the very end of the episode after SpongeBob and Sandy leave, greeting Squidward to declare him as "King of Clarinets."

Trivia
- Master Udon is the only character in the series whose voice actor had passed away by their first appearance.
- Although Pat Morita voiced Master Udon, for the most part, the line "I am Master Udon" was provided by Tom Kenny due to Morita's passing. [citation needed] Kenny also provides Udon's screams and grunts during his fight against Sandy.[citation needed]
- Near the end of the episode, when Master Udon is beaten by Sandy, and falls out of the island tower into the water below, Sandy says, "You're in the soup now, Udon!" Udon is actually named after a type of noodle soup served in Asia.
- Each of the two episodes that he appears in introduces a condo location: "Karate Island" introducing Condo Island; "Ma and Pa's Big Hurrah" introducing Avocondo Acres.
- In the latter, he is credited as the "Hot dog wrestler" instead of his actual name.
- A SpongeBob Reimagined of "Karate Island" was released in 2021, 15 years after its original broadcast.
