Otama operates as the feline owner of the Pizza Cat Restaurant, known as Francine in the English version. She provides vital support by managing communications and finances while operating the launching cannon that sends the main team into action for deliveries or combat, though her aim is notoriously poor, frequently missing targets or firing members through buildings.

Within the Japanese continuity, specifically in "The Big Comet Caper (Part 1)", her background reveals she is the true leader of the Pizza Cats organization under the secret identity Nyanki 0gou (Nyanki Number Zero), a role typically hidden during operations.

She maintains strict managerial authority over the Pizza Cats team, enforcing discipline through pay deductions or punishments for mistakes. Otama shows friendliness towards Lucille (Omitsu) and initial fear towards Bad Bird when he applies for a job. However, she hires him after observing his strong work ethic and awards him bonuses exceeding those given to others. She shares a romantic relationship with a deer named Bucky. Big Al Dente (Inuyama Wankō-no-Kami) is her direct superior in the organizational structure.

Otama possesses a slender build, ginger fur, and purple eyes. Her character is easily annoyed, sassy, charismatic, upbeat, and hardworking. A defining trait in the English adaptation is her consistent use of rhyming speech. Operating the launching cannon with poor accuracy remains a recurring aspect of her role.
