Hamtarou

Hamtarou is the titular main protagonist from the Hamtarou series.
== Charactah Account ==
Hamtarou is Laura Haruna's pet hamster. He's clueless about a lot of things including the fact that Bijou has a crush on him, but he's very courageous, and is always ready to help out his friends.
Often seen as the real leader of the Ham-Hams, Hamtarou cares deeply about others, and is selfless and kind to everyone he meets. He is always there to help out his friends, no matter what the scenario is. He is also incredibly brave, as shown when he saves Penelope from a cat in the second episode; only one of many instances of his bravery and willingness to help friends.
Hamtarou's innocent nature leaves him clueless about many things, most notably love; and it would appear that Bijou, Barrette, Sparkle, Lapis, and Oshare all have developed a crush on him at some point. Due to Hamtarou's oblivious outlook on love, none of these crushes are ever truly reciprocated on his part.

== Trivia ==
* Hamtarou's birthday, 8/6, is a Japanese Goroawase wordplay on "ham" (8 = ha, 6 = mu, forming "hamu").
* As stated in the Happy Birthday Hamtarou Special!, Hamtarou shares a birthday with Cappy (August 6th).
* In some promotional media predating the anime, Hamtarou’s birthday is listed as being on July 24th; shortly after this, however, his birthdate was changed to August 6th. Curiously, the date of July 24th was later stated to be Prince Bo’s birthday.
* Hamtarou rarely has romantic interest toward any hamster. In fact, the only hamster he has ever shown obvious signs of affection for is Championi in You're Late, Prince! where he briefly stares adoringly at her along with the rest of the male hamsters present, and for Princess Cye-Ra in Hamtaro: The Captive Princess after she kissed him on the cheek.
* In a craft book titled “Tottoko Hamutarou: Beads Mascots and Glitter Accessories”, a page showing a romantic Bijou craft outright states that she is Hamtarou’s girlfriend. This may have been somewhat of an error, as it is a rather uncommon way of writing “girlfriend” in Japanese (effectively transcribing the English word into Japanese, rather than the native one).
