Beh Kawahara

Beh Kawahara is one of the main characters of Uchi Tama!? ~Uchi no Tama Shirimasen ka?~ and the Tama and Friends franchise as a whole.

Background
A black cat with white sections around his mouth, tail end and paws in other versions of Tama and Friends, he is a human in the spin off anime scheduled for 2020.

Appearance
He has long black hair reaching to the bottom of his neck and a white fringe area that is parted in the center leaving his violet colored eyes visible. The interior of the ears atop his head are lavender colored and he wears dark colored clothing.

Personality
Beh is an easygoing, absent minded cat. He is easily distracted, much to the frustration of Bull. His owner is a newspaper delivery man, and Beh often goes out to deliver papers with him. Because of this, Beh knows all about Third Street’s regular streets as well as it's alleyways. Beh is often sleepy because he doesn't like to wake up early to deliver papers, but goes anyway to help his master.

Beh has an x-shaped bandage on the left side of his face. Whenever it flaps open a portal to other locations, dimensions and even different time periods appear. Beh doesn't seem to notice when such things happen. And if he does notice something's different, he just goes with the flow and enjoys the new situation he is in. Beh always puts the bandage back to normal when he notices it’s loose, which seems to reverse the effects of his portal-power.

Episode 1
In "Have You Seen My Tama?" we meet Beh Kawahara. Beh's owner is the person who delivers newspapers around Third Street. He, Koma and Tora see Takeshi, Tama's owner, hanging up missing cat flyers on the Third Street bulletin board. He takes them around town to tell the other cats and dogs that Tama is missing. Beh travels around Third Street quickly because he delivers papers with his master and knows all the shortcuts. When Tama and Pochi find their way home, they see Beh and the gang at the park. Beh wants to play on the slides, but Tama wants to go straight home to Takeshi, because he knows his master is waiting for him.

During "Our Waiha" Beh asks Tama and Tora if they know where "Waiha" is. Someone told his master that Waiha is a warm place that you never want to leave. So the three cats explore the neighborhood searching for Waiha. Beh's first Waiha is the top of a wall the neighborhood cats use to walk around Third Street. Then he finds a better Waiha underneath a warm car. Nora sees him and pulls him from under the car before he gets hurt. Afterwards, Nora sits Beh, Tora and Tama down and shows them "Waiha" in a book.
