A list of characters from the anime series Hamtaro.

List of main hamsters

The English name is listed before the Japanese name. The characters are also referred to in their English-language forms. (NOTE: Not all info provided may be accurate or correct, some fans have been known to put their own "facts" for characters. Keep in mind that ANYONE can edit Wikipedia.)

Hamtaro (ハム太郎, Hamutarō): (Seiyū: Kurumi Mamiya, Voice Actress: Chiara Zanni and Autumn Dulong) - Owned by Laura, Hamtaro is a courageous Ham-Ham who's always ready to help out his friends and his owner Laura. However, he cannot stand being ignored by Laura. He is clueless about many things being that he is of an innocent nature, especially love (much to Bijou's dismay). Hamtaro makes the most of his life as a small hamster and lives each day in happiness hoping to make more friends and have fun. In the original anime, Hamtaro ends his sentences with 'na no da', a phrase often used by playful characters. This is changed to, "Hamha!", "Pakapaka", and "kush kush" in the English version. In Hamtaro, Ham-ham paradise, Hamtaro is less courageous, and is more mature. he is 10 years old.
Oxnard (こうしくん, Kōushi-kun) (Seiyū: Rikako Aikawa, Voice Actress: Saffron Henderson) - Owned by Kana. Oxnard is Hamtaro's best friend in the series and the first Ham-Ham he meets. Oxnard is a bit clumsy at times and has a love for delicious food, especially sunflower seeds (of which he always carries one around). He was originally an easily frightened Ham-Ham, but he has been braver and more dependable in recent episodes. Oxnard also has a crush on his close childhood friend Pepper. Oxnard's Japanese name "Koushi" translates to "cow", which is probably referring to his spotted cow-like fur and his large appetite.
Boss (タイショーくん, Taishō-kun) (Seiyū: Kentaro Ito, Voice Actor: Ted Cole) - a field hamster. The self-proclaimed leader of the Ham-Hams, Boss has a huge crush on Bijou. He often tries to look like he knows everything, only to have it backfire in his face. He has a bit of a temper, but he is very dependable, courageous, and nice, even shy at times (especially around Bijou). Because he is a field hamster, he is more familiar with nature, and is more independent compared to the other Ham-Hams. He has even developed a field hamster sense that instinctively tells him what kind of weather is approaching. However, he cannot deal with the sea as he is prone to sea sickness. Near the end of Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak, it is hinted that he has a small crush on Harmony. Boss really likes Bijou, but Bijou likes Hamtaro. Boss later in the series has a crush on other girl-hams named Gelato, Oshare, and Sparkle.
Bijou (リボンちゃん, Ribon-chan) (Seiyū: Kazusa Murai, Voice Actress: Chantal Strand) - Owned 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 English 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 huge crush on Hamtaro(this is proven in the first episode, when she winked at him after their dancing performance), and her feelings for him are eventually reciprocated.
Pashmina (マフラーちゃん, Mafurā-chan) (Seiyū: Rei Sakuma, Voice Actress: Tabitha St. Germain) - Owned by June. Considered to be a very maternal Ham-Ham, as she takes care of Penelope. She loves the color pink and always wears her pink scarf. Dexter and Howdy often fight for her affection, but she does not seem to notice (sometimes acting like a mediator for them). She feels that she is too young for a relationship anyway (she actually wishes for love in the Japanese version, however).
Penelope (ちび丸ちゃん, Chibimaru-chan) (Seiyū: Kaori Matoi, Voice Actress: Jocelyn Loewen) - Owned by Kylie. Considered the youngest of all the Ham-Hams, Penelope is usually never seen without the cover of her yellow blanket (though a few seconds in the opening theme show her blanket coming off, revealing her brown fur). Although she is friendly to everyone, she feels particularly attached to Pashmina. Being innocent and naive, due to her age, she gets into trouble more often than most of the other Ham-Hams. In season two, she has shown some cross-species affection for Herbert the Pig, a boy by the name of Kylie's younger cousin Ethan, and a rabbit at Ethan's school. Unlike the other Ham-Hams, and perhaps because of her young age, Penelope can't say anything more than 'Ookwee!' or 'Ookyoo!' ('Ukyu!' in the original version).
Maxwell (のっぽくん, Noppo-kun) (Seiyū: Takako Honda, Voice Actor: Brad Swaile) - Owned by the eldest son of a bookstore owner (though it seems that the bookstore owner's daughter is the one who cares for him). He always carries a book with him, and is often turned to for information. He seems to know a lot about science and literature due to his love of reading. He is a little taller than the Ham-Hams, partially due to his tall ears. He has a crush on Sandy, though it is never initiated until Hamtaro tells him about Sandy's feelings.
Sandy (トラハムちゃん, Torahamu-chan) (Seiyū: Haruna Ikezawa, Voice Actress: Brittney Wilson) - Owned by Hillary. A sporty young girl Ham who carries a ribbon. Her interest in rhythmic gymnastics have been influenced by Hillary, who is a gold medal gymnast. She has a crush on Maxwell. While in the English version it might seem that the two have confessed their affections, a Japanese episode confirms that they are not quite romantically involved yet. In the English version, she has a valley girl accent.
Stan (トラハムくん, Torahamu-kun) (Seiyū: Kouki Miyata, Voice Actor: Noel Fisher and Michael Coleman) - Owned by Noel. Sandy's twin (older) brother, who is often caught flirting with the other girls. As a result, he is often an annoyance to the other guys, especially Boss, Howdy, and Dexter. Initially, Sandy and Stan were separated, after Noel (who had a crush on Hillary) offered to take care of one of her hamsters. He is often seen shaking his maracas or riding his skateboard. Seemly Stan has a crush on Flora (the nurse ham); unlike other ham-girls, Stan does not flirt with her.
Howdy (まいどくん, Maido-kun) (Seiyū: Yuu Sugimoto, Voice Actor: Paul Dobson) - Owned by Goldie. A Ham-Ham notorious for telling bad jokes, especially at the worst possible time. In the English version, he has a Southern accent, and has a kansai accent in the Japanese version. He and Dexter are long-time friends but often fight with each other over the affections of Pashmina, whom they both have a crush on.
Snoozer (ねてるくん, Neteru-kun) (Seiyū: Yuu Sugimoto, Voice Actress: Cathy Weseluck) - A mysterious hamster that Boss found in his hideaway (which would soon become the Clubhouse). It is unknown where he came from. He is always sleeping, but often utters some helpful advice when the Ham-Hams are in need of it. In the English version, he talks with a lisp.
Dexter (めがねくん, Megane-kun) (Seiyū: Chihiro Suzuki, Voice Actor: Samuel Vincent) - Owned by Curtis. A refined hamster, who is incredibly smart. He loves Pashmina, but often battles with his long-time friend, Howdy, for her affection. His Japanese name is a pun: Megane means "glasses" in reference to the tan pattern of fur around his eyes that makes him look like he's wearing glasses. Coincidentally, his owner is an optometrist.
Cappy (かぶるくん, Kaburu-kun) (Seiyū: Ai Uchikawa, Voice Actress: Ellen Kennedy) - Owned by Kip and Sue. One of the younger Ham-Hams, Cappy loves hats. The two hats he most commonly wears are his green swimming cap, and the giant red saucepan that he usually hides under. While he loves his home, he does not like being spoiled, and looks up to Boss due to Boss's independence as a field hamster. He has developed some sort of a rivalry with Stucky, especially when it comes to hide and seek. It is revealed in episode 53 that Cappy is a quarter of Oxnard's size.
Panda (パンダくん, Panda-kun) (Seiyū: Yuko Saito, Voice Actress: Jillian Michaels)- Owned by Mimi. A Ham-Ham whose fur matches his name, he is the sweet and gentle-natured builder/carpenter of the Ham-Hams who built and repaired many things throughout the duration of the anime as well as the in the game. He also designed the Ham-Ham Fun Park. Mimi's parents own and operate a wood working shop in their house, meaning Panda always has access to construction supplies.
Jingle (トンガリくん, Tongari-kun) (Seiyū: Yuu Asakawa, Voice Actor: Brian Drummond and Terry Klassen) - a field hamster. Appears occasionally throughout the series (usually when someone loses something). He speaks in rhymes, which often confuse the other Ham-Hams, but they soon figure out what he means. He is clueless about many things, but tends to give wise advice. Always seen carrying his guitar. In 'Hamtaro, Please Come Home' and all other appearances afterwards, he is seen with Herbert the Pig. He also has a habit of forgetting names. Whenever he appears, he usually mispronounces someone's name (Hamtaro most of the time). Whenever he is corrected, he usually replies "You changed your name again?"

Oxnard is Hamtaro's best friend in the series and the first Ham-Ham he meets. Oxnard is a bit clumsy at times and has a love for delicious food, especially sunflower seeds (of which he always carries one around). He was originally an easily frightened Ham-Ham, but he has been braver and more dependable in recent episodes. Oxnard also has a crush on his close childhood friend Pepper. Oxnard's Japanese name "Koushi" translates to "cow", which is probably referring to his spotted cow-like fur and his large appetite.
