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) Shoshinsa mark, which is used in Japan to designate a new driver (in the ekaki song he says that it is a 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.
In the Musha Kero storyline, Tamama takes the rank Ashigaruhei (footsoldier) and wears the same thick body armor and large gloves as Keroro (but in black), along with a wide-brimmed steel hat decorated with a rhinoceros beetle, a tribute of sorts to his one-time opponent. His weapon is a polearm, albeit one that looks like a fork and has some multicolored dango (dumplings) skewered on one end, the short story enclosed with the model reveals that they are real dango that he bakes on the pole.
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 likes eating sweets and junk food (especially candy, cake, cola, and potato chips). Surprisingly he also enjoys physical training (he has his own private training room in the Nishizawa Mansion). He also enjoys being jealous.
