Johnny (from Sing)

Johnny is an anthropomorphic mountain gorilla with brown eyes and black fur. He is taller than most of his fellow contestants and has a muscular build. He wears a black leather jacket, a green undershirt with a yellow lightning bolt and stars, blue jeans, and dark blue shoes. In Happy Holidays From Sing, Johnny wears brighter blue jeans and a red-and-white striped undershirt beneath his jacket. in Sing 2 He still wear a black jacket but with a dark green forest undershirt with a orange and black fire flames on the front, with dark blues jeans and still have his dark blue shoes on his feet.

In Sing, Johnny is introduced as a soulful gorilla whose singing voice and passion for music are in direct opposition to his role in his father's bank robbing crew. Deep down, Johnny wants to be a singer but knows that his alpha-male father would disown him if he knew the truth. Though he loves his father, he doesn't want to follow his footsteps in becoming a bank robber, though he's not able to speak his mind in front of him. After receiving a slot in Buster's singing competition, he tries to balance between his piano lessons and driving lessons for the upcoming heist, which leads to the failure of the heist and the subsequent arrest of his father and his crew. When visiting him in prison, he gains the courage to reveal his true ambition, though it leads to Big Daddy disowning him, though Johnny promises to bail him out, showing that he still loves him. This almost leads Johnny to sink to his father's level by stealing the prize money, though he changes his mind upon finding Buster's positive opinion on him, deciding to win the money fairly. After the Moon Theater's destruction, during the show in its ruins, he still misses his father as evidenced during Ash's performance. He is relieved when Big Daddy visit him after breaking out of prison, repentant for his actions to his son, while also proud of him, much to Johnny's happiness, allowing him to carry on with his singing career.

The son of a mobster, Johnny is expected to follow in his father's criminal footsteps. However, his true passion is singing, which he initially doesn't have the confidence to admit to his father due to fear of his father's disapproval. When he finally decides to take a chance to follow his dream by auditioning for Buster Moon's singing competition, he goes to the audition and sings "Stay With Me". After finishing his audition, he runs past Meena and wishes her good luck. At first, Johnny is passed over in favor of Daniel, but when Buster is unable to talk to the giraffe without a megaphone, he changes his mind. During the competition, Johnny takes every measure to keep his involvement with it a secret from Big Daddy. This causes tension for Johnny as he simultaneously commits himself to relearning the piano and practicing his getaway driving for his father's upcoming heist. Because the day of the heist coincides with a rehearsal, Johnny leaves his post, his speeding to the Moon Theater causing two cars to collide. Buster finds his performance of "All of Me" fairly lackluster and suggests that he play a backup song, which he admits he hasn't practiced for yet. Unfortunately, he becomes stuck in a traffic jam built up from the earlier car accident. With Johnny's absence, Big Daddy and his gang are caught and arrested.
