Not much is known about Tamama's background, or how her relationship with Keroro began. While it is assumed throughout Season 1 that Tamama is male like her ''Keroro Gunsou'' counterpart, she discovers between [[Sgt Frog Abridged - Episode 9|Episode 9]] and [[Sgt Frog Abridged - Episode 10|Episode 10]] that she is actually female and reveals this at the end of Episode 10. It is unknown exactly how both Keroro and Tamama herself were unaware of this, though Keroro's generally apathetic nature and Tamama's blatant idiocy are likely factors. |

Bio
Tamama is one of the dumbest characters in the series. She spent her entire life unaware that she was actually female, and she tends to say the strangest one-liners or interjections of the group (read "Notable Quotes" below).
Not much is known about Tamama's background, or how her relationship with Keroro began. While it is assumed throughout Season 1 that Tamama is male like her Keroro Gunsou counterpart, she discovers between Episode 9 and Episode 10 that she is actually female and reveals this at the end of Episode 10. It is unknown exactly how both Keroro and Tamama herself were unaware of this, though Keroro's generally apathetic nature and Tamama's blatant idiocy are likely factors.
ThornBrain has stated that Tamama is the Keronian equivalent of a 20-year old, but her immature appearance is due to her being a midget.[1] Yoshi also initially revealed that Tamama is dyslexic, but this was never properly shown in-series, and by Season 2 it was dropped.[2]
Tamama has the most noticeable differences to her Keroro Gunsou counterpart: she is not bipolar and does not have a Dark side, never being overprotective of Keroro around Mois, nor does she ever think negatively of Mois. She also does not pass gas and is not so blatantly fond of sweets. The most she has ever been seen eating is a doughnut, which she believed could talk, and she is once seen screaming in terror while being trapped in a candy pile. On a more insignificant note, SFA Tamama's military rank is reduced from "Private Second Class" to simply "Private".
Relationships
Tamama does not interact with many characters beside Keroro, whom she openly loves, admires, and affectionately refers to as "Sarge". She may not interact with, or have relationships with, many people; she has even openly snarked that Aki may be a ditz (without irony), and has also taken part in calling Dororo different names. Episode 2 also hints that she doesn't think too highly of Momoka.
Notable Quotes
Giroro: "I've been spying on the humans. Er...Pekoponians. PikPik Carrots, whatever we call 'em.
Keroro: "You forgot Pick-A-Melon!"
Tamama: "And you forgot Choose-A-Banana!" - Episode 3
Keroro: "Yep. Lost my motor skills. And now my sex drive."
Tamama: "I WILL REBUILD IT IF IT KILLS ME!" - Episode 4
Keroro: "Where are you?"
Tamama: "I'm locked inside a car."
Keroro: "Don't worry, I'll come over and- what?"
Tamama: "I'm locked inside a car!"
Keroro: "...Hun?"
Tamama: "Yeah?"
Keroro: "Think about what you said for a moment."
Tamama: "I said I'm locked inside a- OH! I see what's wrong!"
Keroro: "Good!"
Tamama: *Clunk* "Okay, now I'm locked. Come get me, Sarge!" *Click*
Keroro: "*Sigh* ...He's worth it...He's worth it..." - Episode 5
Trivia
- Tamama is the subject of a Pre-SFA inside joke called "Tamama Tits". Full details are in the Tamama Tits article, though it should be noted that the inside joke was pivotal in making her and Keroro a couple. It had no effect on the decision to make Tamama a girl.
- One of the oldest gags the team had with Tamama involved Thorn and Yoshi voicing two "versions" of Tamama. They intended to bring this into the series with Thorn and Yoshi trading off as Tamama's voice actor each episode. However Yoshi only got to voice Tamama in Episode 3R before losing the voice around Episode 5, making Thorn the permanent voice actor. The amusing part of it is that Thorn was technically "Tamama 2", despite voicing the character in her original introduction episode.
- "The Death of Tamama" is a segment in the first Gag Reel showing the recording where Yoshi first lost his Tamama voice. The captions suggest that Yoshi got the voice back after recording, but by Episode 6 it was still strained, so he decided to retire the voice completely.
