Main characters
Hamtarou156 fan favoritesExternal profileHamtarou is Laura Haruna's pet hamster. He's clueless about a lot of things, like the fact that Bijou has a crush on him, but he's very courageous, and is always ready to help out his friends.
Ribon-chan39 fan favoritesExternal profileOwned by Maria. She is a somewhat unworldly hamster who loves her blue ribbons, but she is not above getting dirty when she needs to help her friends, and has been known to be generous and helpful. She used to live in France before moving to where she is now, but she feels attached to Japan and has even refused to go back to France. In the Japanese version, she speaks normal Japanese and adds the words 'dechuwa' (most likely a hamster version of "desu wa") at the end of her sentences, while the American version of Bijou has a French accent, because, "Bijou," is French for "jewel," which is one word to accurately describe her personality. She also has a crush on Hamtaro, though he is quite oblivious to this fact. (Source: Wikipedia)
Taishoo-kun14 fan favoritesExternal profileBoss is a short-tempered field-hamster; he has no owner. He likes to be in control of things, and is a self-appointed leader. He is very much in love with Bijou, and often tries to win over her heart. Boss is gruff but he has a big heart.
Koushi-kun11 fan favoritesExternal profileOwned by Kana. One of Hamtaro's best friends in the series, he has the biggest appetites of the Ham-Hams, and also has a crush on Pepper. Oxnard is frightened easily and loves to eat. He often carries around his special sunflower seed. He has a talent for tarot card reading, which soon attracts the girls, much to the dismay of the other boys. Most of the time, Oxnard's predictions come true, especially for Boss (and usually end in Boss getting hurt in some way). In the original Japanese version, his name is Koushi. (Source: Wikipedia)
Maido-kun3 fan favoritesExternal profileHe is a tidy, hard-working wise-cracker, who has an innate gift for financial matters. Never without his shop-apron, he can spruce up a room in minutes and not miss a chance to amuse others with one-liners along the way. Howdy lives in a convenience store.
