Yume () is a young girl, and the technical owner of Maxwell. Her family runs a library; she is the youngest child of the book store owners.

Character[]

Yume works in the library run by her family; she is often seen looking after her hamster, Maxwell. In her spare time, Yume enjoys writing fictional stories. Some are fantastical adventure stories involving herself and Maxwell, while others are romance stories about the love life of two hamsters named Nana and Yu. Unbeknownst to Yume, her hamster romance stories tend to echo the love life of Maxwell and Sandy.

In Yume, Tell Us a Story!, Yume writes fantasy stories about herself and her hamster Maxwell as the protagonists in various fantastical settings and situations, but she is shy about sharing these stories with anyone else, keeping them to herself and Maxwell. Her friend Zack becomes curious about reading her stories, and one day at school he unintentionally upsets her by taking her notebook and reading it, finding the fantasy stories funny, and laughing. Yume runs away upset, while Zack feels bad about hurting her feelings. After trying to return the book and apologize to Yume, Zack loses the book when a flock of crows steals it from him. He doesn’t rest until he finds Yume’s book for her. With the help of Maxwell, Howdy, and the rest of the Ham-Hams, Zack is able to retrieve Yume’s storybook, apologize to her, and rekindle their friendship. Zack then helps Yume write stories about all of the Ham-Hams, which Yume shares with their schoolmates.

In the episode A Little Love Story!, Yume writes a book about a hamster called Nana and her love for a hamster named Yu. This interestingly takes the same form of the romantic relationship Maxwell (her hamster) had with Sandy.

In The Ham-Ham Explorers and the Romance Story!, she writes a second story, this time of hamsters on an adventure in a cave. Once again, the plot mimics that of the Ham-Ham's adventures.

Trivia[]

  • She attends the same school as Laura and Kana but is a year younger.
  • Yume (夢) translates to "Dream", possibly in reference of the fact that she writes stories that the Ham-Hams tend to go on themselves.
  • In early English-language promotions, Maxwell is officially stated to be owned by "the eldest son of a bookstore owner". As Yume was introduced much later in the series, it is likely that these publications were unaware of her existence; citing Maxwell's owner as a generic "son" as a result.
