The adorable yet powerful idolizer of Keroro. Tamama, unlike most of the other members of Keroro Platoon, relies on pure energy in battle. He despises Mois due to his love for Keroro and trains hard until the day when he defeats her and gains Keroro's affection would come. His split personality makes him one the Keroro Platoon's secret weapons.

Tamama is ranked Private Second Class in the Keron Army's Keroro Platoon. He is the newest member in the planetary invasion troop, and also the youngest. His name stems from the Japanese word otamajakushi "tadpole". While his age is unknown, Etsuko Kozakura has stated that she voiced Tamama as someone who was 19 years old.

Tamama's body color is of a very dark blue in the anime and black in the manga. The symbol on his hat is the green-and-yellow (orange-and-yellow in the manga) Shoshinsha mark, which is used in Japan to designate a new driver (he says that it is the sign of jealousy), reflecting Tamama's young age, which is also apparent in his tadpole tail. He looks similar to Keroro, Giroro and Dororo/Zeroro in flashbacks of them as children, with similar physical details (ie. the tadpole tail), also hinting at his young age.

Tamama is possessed of a tendency to have mood swings that border on a split personality, just like his partner Momoka Nishizawa. While usually gentle and cheerful, Tamama can become a vengeful, raving maniac at the drop of a hat. 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").

Tamama mostly ends his sentences with "desū", which roughly translates to "it is". It is a "cute" phrasing of the common "desu", and is generally dropped when his other personality comes up. He calls Fuyuki, Natsumi, and Momoka, Fu-ki, Na-chi, and Momo-chi respectively.

Tamama idolizes and admires Keroro. His love for Keroro results in his rivalry towards all those in Keroro's love life, especially his hated rival, Angol Mois. He is the friend, and a bit of a pet, of Momoka Nishizawa.

Tamama uses chi attacks fueled by his jealousy. His staple attack, the "Tamama Impact", shoots his jealous energy out of his mouth as a strong beam of energy. Another of his attacks that he says thrives on hate and jealousy is the "Jealousy Ball," which he taught to a young soccer player. He is also very strong and knows karate. He frequently spars against Paul Moryiama only to be beaten or evenly matched.
