Ipji is in charge of the Applied Cryogenics lab. He was Leela's boss before she joined the Planet Express crew. Leela asked him out on a date once, but he's married. He fired Leela after she failed to show up for work for over a year. When Leela, Fry and Bender came to Applied Cryogenics for jobs after being fired by Professor Farnsworth, he hired them and showed that he had saved Leela's "I hate Mondays" poster, knowing she would return one day.In his second appearance,he implies that he's a follower of Hinduism.
