Background[]

The Mailman was first introduced in the mini-movie Flight of the Dragon Ninja. He was seen climbing a mountain while the ninjas flew their dragons to see who would claim the title "Dragon Ninja". He was then frightened by the ninjas and accidentally drops a package off the mountain.

He later appeared in the second episode of season two, Home, giving the ninja mail.

He reappeared in the episode Can of Worms climbing the "Mountain of a Million Steps". Cole and Zane who were climbing the mountain accidentally drop rocks on him, this angers him and causes him to shout at them.

In the episode, The Snake King, the Mailman is seen chasing after Destiny's Bounty on a bike with wings, calling, "Wait! I have a package for Sensei Wu!".

Also he appears in The Rise of the Great Devourer on his bike riding away from the snake bus.

Finally he appears in Day of the Great Devourer where he goes to Ed n Edna's junkyard but hides in a trash can when he sees the Great Devourer.

In Ninjaball Run he races with a rocket-powered motorbike. He does okay during the race but gets pushed around a bit due to his small vehicle. During the Glacier Barrens leg, he crashes into a snowman.

In The Curse of the Golden Master he leads the people of Ninjago city as they act like people from apocalyptic movies and is referred to as "The Postman" and says "Return to Sender!". Cyrus Borg explains that they're only doing this because they're bored and have an active imagination.

Later in Enter the Digiverse, he led a group of rebels who attacked Cyrus Borg, saying that they want power back. When Nindroids attacked the tower, he fought them trying to repel their attack.

In The Jade Princess, the Postman meets Kai at the gate of the Ninjago Royal Palace to deliver mail. He then breaks the fourth wall by saying he will see Kai "next season", though when questioned he claims to be talking about seasons like spring and summer.
