Trivia[]
- Kurumi Mamiya had originally auditioned to play the role of Bijou rather than Hamtaro; Mamiya was rejected for this role, leading her to audition again for the part of Hamtaro. Upon listening to her Hamtaro audition tape, Nobumasa Sawabe (a lead producer for the Hamtaro anime) stated "This is the only person who can play Hamtaro"; Mamiya was almost unanimously chosen by the staff for the role.[1]
- She reprised her role as Hamtaro in the Japanese version of Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns.
