Panda (Hamtaro)

Panda

Panda (パンダくん, Panda-kun) is owned by Mimi. A Ham-Ham whose fur matches his name, he is the sweet and gentle-natured carpenter of the Ham-Hams who built and repaired many things throughout the duration of the anime as well as the in the games. He is one of the 15 main characters of Hamtaro and one of the trusted carpenter of the Ham-ham gang. He is voiced by Jillian Michaels.

Roles

Panda played Joe Vives-Alvarez (2007) and also as a sub-director in Cold Case Toonime (Rotten Seeds Production)

• S4E20 Stand Up And Holler, he was Rainey Karlsen's love interest and the only trustable person she'd can count on (portrayed by his fellow Ham-ham gang member and former love interest Bijou). He will be seen Rainey's ghostly image in the end of the episode. His past appearance was portrayed by his fellow Ham-ham gang member and a friend Hamtaro (1997).
• He also wrote and sub-directed not just 1, but 2 part episode of the 6th season (22nd and 23rd episode) entitled The Long Blue Line and Into the Blue, which starred Dora Márquez as Kate Butler as the main victim.

Character

Panda serves as a carpenter for the Ham-Hams and not much else. He builds most bulky structures throughout the series. His most valued project is the Ham-Ham Fun Park (in Panda's Ham-Ham Fun Park!). Mimi's parents own and operate a woodwork shop in their house, meaning Panda always has access to construction supplies.

Personality

Panda has an extremely close bond with his owner, Mimi. She is the only human who can understand the Ham-Hams, and thus she often confides in Panda. Being the determined Ham-Ham he is, he goes out of his way and rallies the other Ham-Hams to provide Mimi support and to help her. Most of his determination stems from her emotions.

He is arguably the most feminine out of the boy Ham-Hams, often wanting to do things with the girls such as knitting (The Knitting Craze) and outright denying to go play acorn soccer with the boys on multiple occasions. He is a bit emotional and more sensitive than the other boys, often displaying great amounts of emotion when Mimi is sad or angry.

Relationships

Bijou

In earlier episodes, Panda has a crush on Bijou. This is also confirmed in the Tottoko Yoroshiku! Hamuchans introductory CD, in which he says he would like to build something for her and wonders if she likes him back. However, it seems like Boss's domineering personality and over-protectiveness of Bijou was too much for Panda. He even says "There are too many rivals!" in regards to how many Ham-Hams have a crush on Bijou. As a result of this and Bijou not viewing him in a romantic way, this crush seems to have died out early on.
