What’s Inside Tama and Friends Coloring Pages
The set covers the six visible cast members in solo portraits, paired scenes, and group compositions, with Tama and Momo having the largest share of pages.
Tama
Tama appears across the most pages in the set: solo portraits, a group scene with Tora and Gon, paired pages with Momo and Pochi, and a full cast group page.
Coloring Tama: Tama is a white cat with a distinctive orange-brown facial patch that forms the shape of a simple face on his forehead: this patch is his most recognizable design detail. His eyes are a warm black, his nose is a small pink triangle, and his overall shape is round and soft. The facial patch should be a warm amber-orange rather than a bright orange, sitting clearly against the white of the rest of his head. On group pages, keeping his patch consistent in color makes him identifiable at a glance, regardless of the page’s other colors.
Pochi
Pochi, Tama’s best friend and a timid white dog, appears in a group scene with Tama and Gon.
Coloring Pochi: Pochi is also white, with warm brown spots and floppy ears that are the same warm brown. His eyes are soft and gentle, reflecting his kind and slightly nervous personality. Because both Tama and Pochi are primarily white, the key to any page featuring both is to establish the warm amber-orange of Tama’s patch first, then give Pochi’s spots a slightly cooler, more muted brown. The two warm tones should be clearly different enough to distinguish the characters at a glance.
Momo
Momo, the graceful cat who is the idol of Third Street and the character Tama has a crush on, has the second-largest share of pages in the set: multiple solo portraits, paired scenes with Tama and with Koma, and the full cast group page.
Coloring Momo: Momo is a white cat like Tama, but her distinguishing feature is her ears and tail, which are a soft, warm pink, not a vivid pink, but a gentle pastel pink. Her eyes are large and warm. On pages where Momo and Tama both appear, Momo’s pink ear tips and Tama’s orange patch are the two color anchors that keep the scene readable. The pink should be gentle rather than vivid to preserve the soft, ladylike quality of the character.
Koma
Koma, the youngest member of Tama’s group and a small, lively cat, appears alongside Momo in two paired pages.
Coloring Koma: Koma is a white and light grey cat, smaller and rounder than the other characters. Her grey markings are a light, soft grey rather than a dark or cool grey, which suits her young, playful personality. On the Momo and Koma pages, the contrast between Momo’s warm pink tones and Koma’s cool grey tones creates a natural, complementary pair.
Bull
Bull, the bulldog who bullies Tama’s group but secretly has a soft heart and a crush on Momo, appears in three dedicated pages and a paired page with Momo.
Coloring Bull: Bull is a dark, stocky bulldog with a gruff expression and a heavy build. His coat is a darker, warmer brown-grey than the cats in the set. His expression should look stern but not frightening, which the soft lines of the original design support. On the Bull and Momo page, the contrast between his dark, heavy form and Momo’s pale, delicate one is the visual joke the series has always used: the toughest character in the neighborhood has a hopeless crush on the gentlest one.
Group and Cast Pages
The full cast page features Tama with Tora, Koma, Momo, Pochi, and Gon together. The set also includes a Tama, Tora, and Gon page and a Tama, Koma, and Momo page.
Coloring group pages: With multiple white-based characters in the same frame, the group pages require the most color planning. Establish each character’s key accent color first (Tama’s orange patch, Momo’s pink ears, Koma’s grey markings, Pochi’s brown spots) before filling any backgrounds or secondary details. The accent colors do all the work of distinguishing characters who would otherwise blur together.

What These Pages Do
Tama and Pochi are best friends, and also a cat and a dog. In most children’s stories, cats and dogs are natural opposites. Here they are inseparable: Tama runs off to explore the neighborhood, and Pochi follows. The show never makes the cross-species friendship a big deal. It is simply how things are on Third Street. Coloring them side by side, in a set where they share the same white base color and the only thing separating them is the warm orange of Tama’s patch against the warm brown of Pochi’s spots, children absorb that idea visually: two different animals who are fundamentally the same.
That lesson arrives through color, not words.
The AAP notes that stories and play activities presenting friendships between characters who are clearly different but deeply connected help children develop empathy and the capacity to value relationships that cross expected boundaries.
Art therapy practitioners note that coloring sets built around gentle, close relationships tend to produce slower, more careful work, as children engage with the warmth of the characters rather than rushing through action or complexity.
How to Color Tama and Friends Coloring Pages
Establish each character’s accent color before touching any background. Tama, Pochi, Momo, and Koma are all essentially white with small, distinct markings. On any group page, decide each character’s accent color in your head before starting, and apply those consistently throughout. Changing Tama’s patch color mid-session, or making Momo’s ears one shade on one page and a different shade on another, loses the character recognition that makes these pages work.
Tama’s patch is warm amber-orange, not bright orange. The patch should look natural and warm, not vivid. A slightly earthy, muted orange reads as a real cat marking. A bright orange reads as a costume.
Momo’s pink is pastel, not vivid. Her ear and tail pink should be soft and gentle. Vivid pink changes her personality on the page: she becomes less Momo and more a generic pink cat.
Bull benefits from being slightly darker than expected. His gruff exterior deserves a clearly dark, warm brown-grey. A pale Bull loses the visual comedy of the series: the biggest, toughest character has the most hopeless soft spot in the whole neighborhood.
