yeahi agree fio is great, picolo is really funny, great film altogether, but i think fio may count more of a main character than a minor character.

Fio is quite a "main" minor character if you get my meaning, but one of the stronger ones. Gina too is a very interesting character - you could write a whole book about Gina.
A couple of minor Mononoke characters:
Toki is an interesting character, a very strong willed woman, resourceful yet loving.
Jiko Bou has me puzzled. Clever, wily and able to decieve, he's patently an 'evil' character all through the story but at the end he seems to finally understand what he has done wrong and gives up the head of the god to Ashitaka. I think even this out and out bad guy learns something from his experience. I love his bartering scene at the beginning with the rice and the gold nugget.
From Whisper of the Heart I really like Sugimura the typical boy who doesn't talk 'girl code' and misses the cues about who is in love with who. His emotions really go through the wringer but he gets his girl in the end, bless 'im.
Mr Nishi is wonderful but is too "main" a character really as he working behind the scenes to bring the two young people together.
But my favourite is Kaonashi from Spirited Away. I just love the way he's like an innocent child, lonely at first then just copying others or doing whatever seems to make others happy without thinking of the consequences. I'd like to know more about his backstory.

#1sanfan, you changed your avatar. Now I've got to work out who you are all over again
Piccolo - yes, a very funny guy - he has some of the best lines in the film. I love the scene where they are test running the new engine and the whole shed is flying apart and Piccolo says "Well, wait until you see it running at full power!"
Also the whole thing with counting the money and he even takes Porco's last roll of banknotes (his food and vino fund), very dry.

Teto, Jigen Daisuke (Does he count as Ghibli character?), Calcifer, and Kanta. Oh, and Sono's husband from Kiki because even though he never says a word, he is still such a well formed character. And the robot from Laputa.

Not that there are rules, but Fio and Gina seems counted as one of the main characters, not counted as non-main. If they're counted, it's like saying - same goes to San (as Ashitaka clearly have the lead role).
Anyway, Here's my answer:
NEKOBUS
I don't think I have to explain, as everyone will agree with me - Nekobus is like one of the coolest supporting character around. Besides, you lots already mentioned the rest of the nice ones.
