Favorite Secondary characters/media with the best secondary characters

Who are some of your favorite secondary characters, and what are some examples of media that does a good job of creating complicated, interesting secondary characters that are just as fun to watch or read about as the main characters?

DS9 - with Garak and Rom (although admittedly 50% of the reason behind those two is relating to the characters in very different ways).

DS9 really did a great job with secondary characters. Nog would be another one that started out as a minor character and then came to more prominence with some great storytelling and great acting.

Oh definitely agree! I love the episode where he tells Sisko why he wants to Join Starfleet.

One Piece has over 600 characters and only 10 of them are "main."

Okay so yeah there's a good 150-200 that are just barely named and skate by in the background but that still leaves a metric assload of interesting secondary characters. My personal favorites:

Trafalgar Law, Corazon, Yamato, Bartlomeo, Vivi, Bellamy, Shirahoshi, Neptune, Cavendish, Ideo, Bluegilly, Smoker, Katakuri, Reiju, Pudding, Iceburg, Fujitora, Kyros, Buggy, Hajrudin, Shanks, Mihawk, Boa Hancock, Kuma, Sabo, Ace, Dadan, Garp...and I guess some of the villains, while I don't adore them, are super fucking interesting to the max - Kaidou, Big Mom, Doflamingo, Crocodile, Lucci.

Basically One Piece is a haven for lovers of secondary characters and I have a bunch of fandom friends who are entirely into the series for various secondary characters and hardly give two shits about the Straw Hats.

I found myself really liking Vincent in The Originals. The writing sucks in a lot of ways but his story was interesting.

Paris from Gilmore Girls. I also really liked Max (Rory's teacher that her mother nearly married). And of course Kirk and the other people from the town.

I think JKR probably wins for writing the best minor characters. All the teachers and students and villains really had their own things going on and didn't blend together in the way a lot of stories with that many characters do.

My all time faves are probably Merry and Pippin from LOTR.

There's so many secondary characters that I like in Naruto, but Gaara is definitely my favorite.

Almost all the secondary character on Jessica Jones were fantastic, though I think Jeri was my favorite (so horrible, but such a great character).

I wouldn't say that FMA's minor characters are complicated but boy do I love every single one of them.

Strangely, the first thing that comes to my mind is HanaKimi, the manga. It's a boarding school romance and the main pairing's class mates with their subplots and woes and interactions were so much fun. I don't know if mangas in general are good at secondary characters, but HanaKimi did it well enough that it stuck with me for more than ten years.
