Tamama

Tamama (タママ) is the private second class (二等兵 nitouhei)of the Keroro Platoon in the series Keroro Gunso.

He is the newest member of the Keroro Platoon and also the youngest.

Appearance
Tamama's body color is navy blue in the anime and black in the manga. The symbol on his hat is the green-and-yellow Shoshinsha mark, which is used in Japan to designate a new driver, reflecting Tamama's young age, which is also apparent in his tadpole tail. The color of his afro, when seen, is red. In Kero 0: Depart! Assembly of Everyone!!, he originally wears a red tie with a wakaba symbol before receiving his symbol.

Personality
Tamama is possessed with a tendency to have mood swings that border on a split personality, like his partner Momoka Nishizawa. While usually gentle and cheerful, Tamama can become a vengeful, raving maniac at the drop of a hat. This change is usually accompanied by the sound of a balloon popping.

Tamama is also prone to fits of jealousy, usually towards anyone who gets near Keroro (especially Angol Mois, who he frequently refers to as "that woman")

Likes and Dislikes
Tamama likes junk food and sweets (especially candy, cake, soft drinks, and potato chips) and physical training (he has her own private training room in the Nishizawa Mansion). In the anime, Tamama is diagnosed by Pururu with high blood sugar because of his love of sweets.

Tamama's least favorite sound is nails on a chalkboard. He also dislikes Angol Mois and often calls her "that woman" (あの女 ano onna) as he considers her a rival for Keroro's attention. Despite this, Mois seems blissfully unaware of Tamama's hatred towards her. According to Episode 123 (where the Kawaru alien shows a person's biggest fear), Tamama's biggest fear (although he does not show much fear towards it) is seeing his "lovely" self. Along with the other members of the Keroro Platoon, Tamama is afraid of the Ketsubakuchiku.

Speech mannerisms
Tamama ends most of his sentences with desū (ですぅ), a "cute" variant of desu (です), which is generally dropped when his other personality comes up.

History
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 Pekopon, he first met Keroro on Keron in Kero 0: Depart! Assembly of Everyone!!. He quickly grew to idolize him and gained his powerful feelings towards him that lasted throughout the years.

In Volume 11 of the manga, Tamama mentions Karara and Chiroro act like his brothers, hinting that Tamama is the oldest of his siblings.
