“New challenges! New people! We need adventure!”
― Tom, Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Tom (バンタム, Bantamu) is a cranky cat villager in the Animal Crossing series. His North American name is based on tomcats, another name for male cats. His name and appearance might also be a reference to the Tom and Jerry cartoons. He was absent in Animal Crossing: Wild World, but returned in Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. His Japanese name is a reference to Bantamweight, a weight division in boxing.

Appearance

Tom is a blue cat with a white-tipped tail and muzzle. His hands and feet are also tipped white. He looks similar to Moe. His ears are straight and blue with a strawberry pink in the center of them. His appearance may be inspired by Tom from the Tom and Jerry cartoons, as Tom looks quite similar to the Tom from the cartoons. He carries the Flame Umbrella.

House

Tom's home is very neat and oriental, containing furniture from the Exotic Series. It contrasts with his cranky personality. Upon obtaining a stereo, he will play K.K. Rally.
