Stepp (ステップくん) is a marching band hamster who appears in the Hamuchanzu de Gozaimachu! manga series. He carries around a taiko drum, which he loves to play.
Stepp did not have any major roles in any Hamtaro media; outside of appearing on a few trading cards, and having small cameos in Gozaimachu! Vol.2 and Vol.3. There is also an XLC Co. figure of him.
Creation[]
Stepp was created for, and the winner of, a Hamtaro "Friend Contest" in 1999. The contest was held in the Shogakukan Learning Magazines, and the character was created by a Fourth Grade student. However, any further information about his creation (including the original design submission) is unknown.
Oddly, a drawing strongly resembling Stepp appears in the opening page of Hamtaro Gets Lost & Other Stories - which would predate the Fourth Grade submission. The characters' similarities are likely just a coincidence.
