He also appears in Twig & Pik-pik as a major antagonist in the first three seasons and first movie, and as an ally for the remainder of the series.

Tamama is private second class in Sgt Frog's Lonely Hearts Club Band. He is the newest member in the planetary invasion troop and the youngest, still having his tadpole tail and white face. One of the most powerful members of the group, Tamama is usually hyper, cheerful, and harbours a crush on Keroro. However, when jealous or enraged, he becomes spiteful and loathing of those around him.

This page focuses on his Kirby Bulborb Cinematic Universe character, please see below for other versions of Tamama.

## Appearance

Tamama has a dark blue body with yellow headgear and big round eyes. He wears a green and yellow mark on his head and belly, which matches the Shoshinsha mark that new drivers in Japan must display their cars for one year after obtaining their licenses. His Afro is a reddish-brown.

## Personality

Tamama is possessed with a tendency to have mood swings that border on a split personality. While usually gentle and cheerful, Tamama can become a vengeful, raving maniac at the drop of a hat. He also loves snacks and sweets. Tamama is also prone to fits of jealousy. He grew a hatred towards Pikmin after he was woken up by one of them, so he decided to enslave the entire species. He was later revealed to be a huge fan of the Beatles, especially George Harrison.

## History

### Early life

Having no powers at the time, Tamama was a commoner who witnessed the original Keroro Platoon's encounter with the Black Stars. Before arriving on PNF-404, he first met Keroro on Keron. He quickly grew to idolize him and gained his powerful feelings towards him that lasted throughout the years.

### Classic Kirby

Tamama was sleeping with Kirby Bulborb and Mayor R Bulborb, when the three of them were suddenly woken up by Pik-pik. They attempted to defeat Pik-pik and the other Pikmin in response, but were defeated. Tamama later enslaved all the Pikmin, but was eventually stopped by Gruffalo Dawson.

### Trooper Village Stories

Tamama was first mentioned by Twig, who Mayor Reginald Bulborb mistakes as "Tamna". Twig calls Tamama to see if he's possessing Thorn again (in reference to the third season of Twig & Pik-pik), but it's revealed that Tamama didn't posses him this time. Twig then deduces that it's actually Noah who had possessed Thorn, who was eventually freed from Noah's control.

Tamama appeared alongside the other members of Keroro's platoon in an attempt to invade Pekopon, but they end up landing on the wrong planet. Giroro blames Keroro for this, but suggests to invade the planet they landed on instead. They then meet Cyber Captain Olimar, Noah, Underhut and Makuta, and they decide to work together to accomplish their evil goals. Renaming their group to "Sgt Frog's Lonely Hearts Club Band", they visit Trooper Village in an attempt to take it over. However, Keroro instead says that he'll steal all of Mayor Reginald Bulborb's manga, which Giroro is confused by and causes the entire group to be effortlessly defeated by Mayor R Bulborb.

Later on, Tamama notices a record store, which he enters so he can buy a copy of Abbey Road. After being told that they don't have a copy of the album, Tamama flips out and uses his Tamama Impact to completely destroy the store. Kululu then suggests stealing some Bomb-rocks to cause destruction, and go to Yellow's house to steal all of his Bomb-rocks. However, Kululu lights a match while near the Bomb-rocks, causing them to explode. Yellow then returns to find out that all of his Bomb-rocks were destroyed, and defeats Sgt Frog's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

## Other Universes

### Sgt. Frog

Tamama idolizes and has strong feelings towards Keroro, though the latter seems unaware of them. He is usually the first to support Keroro and his plans, no matter how ridiculous they can be. Though he is loyal to Keroro, Tamama's loyalty to him has become shaken when Keroro becomes emotionally abusive or overly lazy, having abandoned his commander on more than one occasion. Tamama is very close friends with Momoka due to their similar personalities and lives with her in the Nishizawa Estate, much to his Platoon's jealousy. While living with Momoka, Tamama openly enjoys luxury and is very knowledgeable of Momoka's family wealth because of it. Though they got off on the wrong foot, both Tamama and Momoka are very loyal to one another to the point where Tamama will openly go against Keroro if the laters plans interfere with Momoka's plans to win Fuyuki's heart. He hates Mois because of Keroro's feelings and trains hard until he defeats her and gains Keroro's affection. However, sometimes he is ashamed of his evilness when faced with Mois's pure heart. He relies on pure energy in battle, shooting his powerful attack, Tamama Impact (earlier referred to as Tamama crazy breath), a yellow energy beam from his mouth. He's often seen training, usually beating up a piece of wood with a sloppy drawing of Mois. While usually seen as gentle and cheerful, Tamama becomes an insane, raving maniac when feeling overly excited, angry, or jealous. Tamama is prone to fits of jealousy, usually towards anyone who gets near Keroro, *especially* Angol Mois, whom he frequently refers to as "that woman" or "this woman." These negative feelings power his energy beam. Tamama loves snacks and sweets; living with the ultra-rich Momoka means he has as many as he wants.

### Twig & Pik-pik

     Tamama was separated from his platoon members after he was purchased by Tycho Caputo sometime during early 1999. After the Human Exodus of 2000, Tamama was left with the other plushes alone to build their own civilization. He later gained understanding that he is just a plush and gained great knowledge of the world of the Code of Cinder, becoming a Toy God. Tamama later found out that his platoon members had become trapped in a car, and he planned a way to get to the car his platoon members were trapped in.

Tamama sat in a place not far from Pikstreet Avenue, waiting for a Pikmin to possess with the ultimate aim of a hole being drilled through the front door to allow Tamama to get outside. It was here that he met Thorn, who asked Tamama if he knew where Pikstreet Avenue was. Tamama told him he didn't know as he was a newcomer, and after Thorn told him about his family situation, suggested that Twig was the reason behind their father going away. Moments after Thorn finished their conversation and said he could find his way back, Tamama began the possession by saying "Darkness, darkness surrounds you. Using the ancient spell of the demons, you will now become one! Form of a cape!" He then transforms into the Cape of Vourhok and possesses Thorn, who initially tried to resist the possession, but was unsuccessful. Tamama explained to Thorn that he was now under his control, and must listen to his every command. Tamama's first command to Thorn was to tell Twig who really made their father go away. Later on, Tamama waited until King Takanuva and Queen Easter were on vacation to set his plan into action, building Thorn's Fortress in the meantime, as well as a machine to break open a wall in the House. Tamama often communicated to Thorn using the cape. On one occasion, Thorn said he didn't want to hurt Twig, but Tamama said that this is not an option as Twig must be destroyed as he stood in the way of their plan. Tamama asked Thorn how the drilling was going, and Thorn replied it was halfway done.

When Takanuva and Easter returned from vacation, the attack on Thorn's Fortress occurred. Decimating Thorn's forces, the troops of Easterland pushed Thorn all the way back into the Sister Room. There, Twig and Pik-pik were revived and the final battle against Thorn began. When the Cape of Vourhok was removed from Thorn, the possession stopped, and Thorn was free. After a battle with Twig, the Cape of Vourhok announced he would show Twig his true strength. Thorn warned Twig of the Cape of Vourhok's true demon form. After transforming into his true form, Tamama turned to Twig and said "Tamama, desu!". A confused Twig initially didn't believe Tamama was a demon, but was proved wrong after Tamama said "Oh you wanna think that don't you, but really.... I am". Realising that Tamama means business, Twig begins to fight him, and both he and Tamama are knocked back.

Tamama then hacked the Code of Cinder immediately to teleport Twig, Thorn, and Pik-pik to a separate plane of reality to complete the true final battle. In the end, Twig emerged victorious using some of his latent Angel power. Tamama realised that Twig was too powerful to fight and so abruptly announced he's giving up the fight. A confused Twig asked Tamama who he was, and Tamama explained his origin story as the Private Second Class of the Keroro Platoon. Tamama correctly guesses that Twig doesn't know what that is, but explained he has a very big fanbase. He then explained his reasoning for taking control of Thorn; he did it only so he could get to the car where his platoon members were, and also explained that both he and Twig are just robotic toys.

For his crimes against humanity, Tamama faced execution by guillotine, but managed to avoid this fate by turning invisible so only Twig could see him. Twig then helped Tamama get to the car containing Keroro and Giroro, and helped them out of the car they were trapped in. By using Twig's citizenship to open the Front Door, Tamama finally returned to his friends.

Later in the series, Tamama would become a distant friend to Twig, and then later one of the three Otakus, becoming roommates with Stormtrooper and Felyne. Tamama at one point had to save Stormtrooper from Cobra Commander with Felyne. He played the role of Maya Ibuki in The End Of Twig & Pik-pik.

Tamama later appeared in cameo roles in Starlight Platinum and The End of Twig & Pik-pik 2: Godslayer. During the events of Starlight Platinum he was an ally to the Galactic Alliance. Tamama is stated in The End of Twig & Pik-pik 2: Godslayer to be in a romantic relationship with Keroro, making Tamama one of the few bisexual characters in the Pikminjake Cinematic Universe, alongside Billy.

## Abilities

### Tamama Impact

The Tamama Impact is Tamama's standard attack. He forms a ball of yellow energy in his mouth and shoots it at the enemy as a beam. This attack can be used in a controlled manner, but occasionally is used unnecessarily when Tamama is in an envious rage, such as using it to destroy the Trooper Village Record Store for not having a copy of Abbey Road.
