Hamtaro (Tottoko Hamutaro in Japan) is a children's anime series produced by TMS Entertainment and aired on TV Tokyo from July 7, 2000 to March 31, 2006. It is based on the children's book and manga series of the same name by Ritsuko Kawai and published by Shogakukan. It has been translated into numerous languages and aired in other countries (albeit not covering the entire series in most dubs). There are also films and video games.

The series follows the adventures of a young hamster named Hamtaro and his friends, the Ham-Hams, who meet up in a clubhouse built by their leader, Boss. Many episodes are based on the adventures of the Ham-Hams and the daily life of Hamtaro's owner, Laura Haruna. The original series ran for 193 episodes. It was followed by more series titled Tottoko Hamutaro: Hamu Hamu Paradaichu! and Tottoko Hamutaro Hai!.
