Jim Button (Jim Knopf): The titular hero of Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver (original title: Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer), shares the "glory" with and is the sidekick of his best friend Luke, the engine driver. He grows up on Morrowland (Lummerland in German) under the care of Mrs. Whaat. He wants to be an engine driver too, but he later finds out that his destiny is far greater. His name is derived from his habit of tearing a hole in his trousers every time he does something wild. After mending the hole many times, Mrs. Whaat added a button so it could be opened, rather than torn up yet again.
