ABOUT HAMTARO!

The cute and cuddly pet of fifth-grader Laura, Hamtaro is a golden hamster with an insatiable curiosity.

Together with the "Ham-Ham Friends," a bunch of hamsters as clever and unique as Hamtaro himself, Hamtaro lives each day as a whole new adventure...complete with fun, excitement, and friendship.

HAMSTER WORLD!

Hamsters have a long history of popularity with children everywhere, and in Japan recently they've become especially so.

At the heart of the excitement is creator Ritsuko Kawai's hugely popular illustrated book series, Hamtaro from Shogakukan.

Never before has an illustrated book series achieved such success without the promotional support of an animated TV broadcast - a strong indicator of Hamtaro's undeniable, cross-market appeal.

This is a web page completely dedicated to Hamtaro! I made this site because most Hamtaro sites are in Japanese!
