Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hamtaro became a genuine phenomenon in early 2000s America, airing on Cartoon Network and spawning a massive merchandise line—rare for a non-action anime at the time.
The original Japanese version had different names for several characters; 'Boss' was actually 'Taisho,' a reference to the Taisho era implying he's old-fashioned.
