Eggy-P (ナッスーくん) is a hamster who appears in Hamtaro: Rainbow Rescue and in some of the Japanese episodes. He is a vegetable gardener, and is close friends with Tomy-T and Marron.

Character description[]

Eggy-P lives on a delectable vegetable garden, which he maintains with his co-worker, Tomy-T; out of the two, Eggy-P appears as the calmer one. The two hold a brother-like bond, and are never seen away from each others' side. The Ham-Hams love to visit their garden to feast on the crops - and generally provide a little gardening help too.

He and Tomy-T are also friends with Marron, and she claims they are her brothers (though it is never confirmed by either if this is true). Due to Marron's younger age, Eggy-P and Tomy-T have to look after her, acting as her guardians. While she is not as strong as her "brothers", she still helps the duo out in the garden whenever possible.

The leaves on his head are the leaves of a nasu, a Japanese variety of eggplant. This also relates closely to his Japanese name "Nassū" and explains his English name ("Eggy-P" and "eggplant"; also the "P" standing for the "plant" in "eggplant").

Creation[]

Eggy-P was created for, and the winner of, a Hamtaro "Friend Contest" in 2000. The contest was held in the Shogakukan Learning Magazines, and the character was created by a Fourth Grade student.[1] However, any further information about his creation (including the original design submission) is unknown. Interestingly, it appears that Tomy-T was designed by Ritsuko Kawai, considerably after Eggy-P was created.
