This is a direct contrast to later incarnations of Hamtaro, which do not understand the concept of romantic love at all, even to the point of not knowing what a girlfriend is. Interestingly, this is not the case in Tottoko Hamutaro Anime Dechu Hamtaro explicitly states that "even" he "understands" love (read romantic love), and very clearly tells Natsumi that he likes (read loves) her. Due to Hamtaro's oblivious outlook on love, none of these crushes are ever truly reciprocated on his part. His 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. 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. He is always there to help out his friends, no matter what the scenario is. Often seen as the real leader of the Ham-Hams, Hamtaro cares deeply about others, and is selfless and kind to everyone he meets. Owned by Laura Haruna, Hamtaro is a Ham-Ham who's always ready to help out his friends and his owner (by whom he can't stand being ignored).
