Upin and Ipin are a twin brother, and they live with their grandmother who they called Opah and their older sister, Kak Ros in a village called Kampung Durian Runtuh (Durian Runtuh Village). They lost their parents since born. A way to differentiate these two twins would be by the letter on their shirt — u for Upin and I for Ipin. Their favourite food would be Fried Chicken. Upin can be described as outspoken while Ipin can be described as someone that likes to give advice just like their Opah. They both are always up to something mischievous that always put them into trouble. 3. Ejen Ali Besides Boboiboy and Upin & Ipin, we also have Ejen Ali on our list.
