Free Tama and Friends Coloring Pages: 24 printable PDF designs of the playful pets of Third Street, starring the adventurous cat Tama in solo and cute portraits, his sweet friend Momo, the youngest kitten Koma, the gentle dog Pochi, the daredevil Tora, the laid-back dog Gon, and the bulldog Bull, who loves to boss the group around. Group pages pair Tama with Momo, Koma, Tora, and Gon, and several printable cast sheets show the whole neighborhood gang together. Every sheet comes as a free PDF and can be colored online, too.
Tama and Friends began in 1983 as a character brand from Sony Creative Products in Japan, built around a group of cats and dogs living on a quiet street called Third Street, or San-chōme. Group TAC animated the first video series from 1988 to 1990 and a 29-episode TV series in 1993 titled Uchi no Tama Shirimasen ka?, which translates to “Have you seen my Tama?” Later versions followed in 2006 and 2016, and in 2020, the studio MAPPA released Uchitama?!, a spin-off that reimagined the pets as humans. An English dub by 4Kids Entertainment introduced the series to American viewers in 2001.
The characters are drawn with round heads, tiny bodies, and simple facial features, so these pages are a great fit for young children. Solo portraits of Tama, Momo, Koma, Pochi, and Bull have just a few large shapes, while group pages with three or more pets give older kids the chance to give each character a distinct color scheme.
What’s Inside This Collection
Tama and Momo lead the 24 designs, with Koma, Pochi, Bull, Tora, Gon, and full cast pages completing the neighborhood.
Tama
Tama poses alone, looks cute, and appears with friends on many pages. Try a bright White body with Black ear tips and a Black-tipped tail, and add a Red collar with a small Yellow bell.
Momo
Momo appears solo, as a cute portrait, and beside Tama, Koma, and Bull. Give her a soft White or pale Cream coat and a Pink ribbon for her ladylike style.
Koma
Koma, the smallest of the gang, appears alone and with Momo. Use a light Tan or soft Orange body and keep the features simple and round.
Pochi and Gon
Pochi, Tama’s loyal dog friend, has a solo page, and Gon joins Tama and Tora in a group scene. Color Pochi White with Brown ears, and give Gon a sleepy Gray Brown coat.
Bull and Tora
Bull the bulldog appears alone and with Momo, while Tora joins Tama and Gon. Shade Bull in Gray with darker jowls and a spiked Black collar, and give Tora bold Orange and Brown tiger stripes.
Group and Cast Pages
Several pages show the whole Third Street gang together. Assign every pet its own signature shade so young colorists can name each one at a glance.
What Tama and Friends Coloring Pages Do
Celebrating neighborhood friendships. Tama and his friends explore their street, help each other, and solve small problems together. Coloring them gives children a chance to talk about their own friends and neighbors.
Building first coloring skills. Big heads and compact bodies give little hands generous spaces to fill. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies ages 2 to 7 as the most important years for developing the grip and coordination that later support writing.
Creating quiet moments. Structured coloring calmed adult participants, as the Art Therapy Journal described in 2005. The smiling pets of Third Street turn that same calm into a bedtime-friendly activity.
Learning about pets and their personalities. Each pet has its own personality, from brave Tama to shy Pochi. Children can compare them with real cats and dogs and talk about how to care for pets kindly.
How to Color Tama and Friends Pages Well
- Clean White coats: Leave Tama and Momo mostly White and add soft Gray shadows near the edges.
- Bright accessories: Use Red, Pink, and Yellow for collars, bells, and ribbons.
- Distinct colors: Give every pet a unique main color in group pages so they stand out.
- Stripes for Tora: Draw thick Brown stripes over an Orange base.
- Rosy faces: Dab a light Peach blush under each eye for extra charm.
- Neighborhood scenes: Draw a fence, flowers, and a blue sky to place pets on Third Street.
