Ebichu

Ebichu is a hamster who lives in a small apartment with her owner, a salaryman. She is a big eater, and her favorite food is chocolate. She has rosy cheeks and a verbal tic, which is "Ebi-chan!". She is also very mischievous, and often gets into trouble. One day, Ebichu's owner comes home from work and finds that she has eaten all of his chocolate. He is very angry, and he yells at her. Ebichu is scared, and she runs away from home. She ends up in the park, where she meets a group of other animals. The animals are very friendly, and they welcome Ebichu into their group. Ebichu stays with the animals for a while, and she learns a lot about them. She learns that they are all different, but they all have one thing in common: they are all outsiders. Ebichu realizes that she is not alone, and she is no longer afraid. Ebichu eventually returns home to her owner, and they make up. Ebichu learns that it is important to be true to herself, and she is no longer afraid to be herself. Ebi-chan!
