Tama & Friends (タマ&フレンズ, Tama ando Furenzu) is a series of products & anime beginning as early as 1983.

An OVA series based on the products was created by Group TAC and titled Tama & Friends: Third Street Story (タマ&フレンズ 3丁目物語, Tama ando Furenzu San-chōme Monogatari) and the first episode was first released in 1988. All episodes, except the first, had two episodes put on a single cassette. The episodes, as well as an additional three episodes, aired on TBS and MBS under the name Tama of Third Street: Do You Know My Tama? (3丁目のタマ うちのタマ知りませんか?, San-Chōme no Tama: Uchi no Tama Shirimasen ka?) from July 3, 1993 to August 28, 1993. An anime movie, titled Tama of Third Street: Please! Find Momo-chan!! (3丁目のタマ おねがい!モモちゃんを捜して!!, San-Chōme no Tama: Onegai! Momo-chan wo Sagashite!!), was released in the same year. Another 26 episodes were created and broadcast in 1994 on the same networks under the same name. The original series was dubbed in North America by 4Kids Entertainment in 2001, but never made it to Home Video. Another anime series, known as Tama & Friends: Search for It!
