Characters

English Name: Hamtaro
Japanese Name: Hamutaro
Spanish Name: Hamtaro
Gender: Boy
Owner: Laura / Ryoko
Birthday: August 6 : Leo
Height: 8.6 cm
Engilsh Voice Actor: Saffron Henderson
Defining Attribute: Orange furr swoops across his left eye
Hamtaro's the star of the show. He's very kind, and always up for an adventure. Hamtaro always seems to be helping his friends, weather it be his owner Laura, or his ham-ham buddies. Though he can be a tad naive at times, especially about Love- a quality not usually found in a main character. Hamtaro has all the qualities needed for a perfect hero: Bravery, Innocence, and the will to do anything for his friends.
English Name: Oxnard
Japanese Name: Koushi (means "Calf" [baby cow])
Spanish Name: Ghiotto
Gender: Boy
Owner: Kana
Birthday: May 3 : Taurus
Height: 10 cm
Defining Attribute: Tall, grey spots, and always carries a sunflower seed.
Oxnard is Hamtaro's best friend. Just as his owner, Kana, is Laura's best friend. Oxnard is the fateful sidekick of the story. He may come across as somewhat clumsy having a name like Oxnard, being tall, and always eating, but this doesn't seem to play into his character very much.
English Name: Bijou
Japanese Name: Ribon
Spanish Name: Bijou
Gender: Girl
Owner: Maria
Birthday: July 10 : Cancer
Height: 7.5 cm
Engilsh Voice Actor: Chantal Strand
Defining Attribute: All white with two blue ribbons tied on each cheek
Bijou is the heroine of the story. Her, and her owner, Maria, are form France, and thusly Bijou is very feminine, and has an adorable french accent. She probably would be paired with Hamtaro if it weren't for his innocent view of their relationship.
English Name: Boss
Japanese Name: Taisho (means "Leader")
Spanish Name: Boss
Gender: Boy
Owner: none
Birthday: September 21 : Virgo
Height: 12 cm
Engilsh Voice Actor: Ted Cole
Defining Attribute: Tallest of all the ham hams, wears a yellow hat w/green band and orange buckle, sometimes carries a shovel.
Boss is a wild Field Ham, and has no owner. He lives with Snoozer in the "Club House" in the park. He tries to be tough, and sometimes acts like a know-it-all, but is usually proven wrong. Boss is jealous of Bijou's feelings for Hamtaro, but, never the less, is great friends with him and the rest of the ham hams.
English Name: Maxwell
Japanese Name: Noppo
Spanish Name: Tantasa
Gender: Boy
Owner: The oldest son of the bookshop owner
Birthday: November 5 : Scorpio
Height: 10.5 cm
Engilsh Voice Actor: Brad Swalie
Defining Attribute: Brown furr and somewhat of a large head.
The true know-it-all of the group, Maxwell is the brains of the bunch. He always has some high-tech explanation for everything, including some kind of visual aid, a chart with a graph, perhaps. He seems to be the only ham ham who can read human writing, or at least the only one who does, and thus he can usually tell the ham hams the truth about their theories on human beings. Also has a thing for Sandy
English Name: Sandy
Japanese Name: Torahamu-chan (means "tiger hamster" chan indicates feminine usage)
Spanish Name: Tigra
Gender: Girl
Owner: Hillary
Birthday: June 6 : Gemini
Height: 7.5 cm
Engilsh Voice Actor: Chantal Strand
Defining Attribute: Tiger stripes like her brother, red ribbon on her tail.
Sandy is the sporty one of the group; and probably the only one not caught in some kind of love triangle. Being the sister of the most flirtatious ham ham helps. More than that, she has proclaimed her feelings for Maxwell, with a little help from Hamtaro. Sandy grew up away from her brother, but never forgot about him, and they're reunited during the series.
English Name: Stan
Japanese Name: Torahamu-kun (means "tiger hamster" kun indicates masculine usage)
Spanish Name: Tigro
Gender: Boy
Owner: Noel
Birthday: June 6 : Gemini
Height: 7.5 cm
Engilsh Voice Actor: Noel Fisher
Defining Attribute: Tiger stripes like his sister, but no ribbon.
Stan is the Fonzi of the bunch, though without Fonzi's charm. Stan loves the ladies, but is usually too obnoxious to earn their attention. He, like Maxwell, also has a lot of props, but instead of books and charts, Stan usually has his maracas or skateboard around. Most of the time his sister, Sandy, has to keep him in check, so he doesn't get too wound up.

With a name that starts with "chibi" you know she's the baby of the group.

She's usually hanging around with Pashmina, and treats her like an older sister, though they aren't related.

Snoozer got his name by sleeping all day. Sadly, he has a huge infatuation with the hay and his sock, so he spends all his time sleeping. He lives with Boss in the club house.

Jingle's a traveling musician and poet. He's kind of like Snoozer, in the way that he only shows up for a little while and gives some advice. Though he's no where near as strait forward as Snoozer is. Most of his tips and hints are in the form of rimes or riddles, which can be very annoying, especially when you're being chased by wild chickens. ^_^

Until one day he made his way to the city where the HamHams lived. He found his way to Oxnard's house, and was thought to be an alien.
