Oxnard is a food-loving hamster, he is usually seen eating, and, like most of the hamsters, he is easily tempted by sunflower seeds. He is Hamtaro's first and best friend, and it is also a coincidence that their owners are best friends at school. Oxnard is a rather clumsy hamster but can also be a caring friend to Hamtaro. Although he goes on many adventures like the rest of the Ham-Hams, he doesn't seem to be as active as they are, having to visibly run slower than the others. He is usually seen with a sunflower seed in case he gets hungry. Oxnard is very loyal, and, despite being a coward, he can be very brave.
