Description
Megane-kun, known in English as Dexter, is a small, refined hamster who lives with his owner Curtis, an optometrist, in a glasses shop. His name, which literally means "glasses-kun," reflects the orange fur markings around his eyes that resemble spectacles. He is one of the more intelligent members of the Ham-Ham gang and often serves as a second source of knowledge alongside Maxwell.
Megane-kun has a dignified and well-mannered personality. He presents himself as a gentleman, always neatly dressed and polite. He can be sarcastic and slightly snobbish, especially toward Howdy, whom he considers both a rival and a longtime friend. He takes pride in his intellect and occasionally shows off his knowledge, which can make him seem a bit arrogant. Despite this, he is willing to help other hamsters when needed and has a kind heart beneath his prim exterior.
His primary motivation is intellectual curiosity and a desire to be useful. Because he lives in an eyewear store, he has developed a deep understanding of glasses and vision, which he often uses to assist his friends. He also has a strong romantic interest in Pashmina, a female hamster, and frequently competes with Howdy for her affection. This rivalry is one of the main sources of conflict and comedy in his story.
In the overall narrative, Megane-kun is a supporting member of the Ham-Ham group. He acts as a problem-solver, using his smarts to help the gang overcome obstacles. His relationship with Howdy is particularly notable: they bicker constantly, but their friendship runs deep, and they cooperate when the situation demands it. His bond with Pashmina is more one-sided, as she is often unaware or amused by his attempts to impress her. He also respects Hamtaro's leadership and works well with the more serious Maxwell.
Over the course of the series, Megane-kun shows little dramatic change, but his development is seen in moments when his pride gives way to genuine concern for others. He learns to put aside his rivalry when it truly matters, and his sarcastic remarks become less harsh as he grows more comfortable with his friends.
His notable abilities include a sharp mind, quick thinking, and specialized knowledge of optics. He can often identify types of glasses or solve puzzles related to vision and light. He is also depicted as surprisingly agile and resourceful during adventures, though his physical strength is not a standout trait. His appearance—with orange fur patches that mimic glasses and a bow tie—makes him instantly recognizable and underscores his character as a dapper, intellectual hamster.
