Pets Edit

America's PetsEdit

WhaleEdit

When ordered to "go make friends" in Japan, America befriended this whale. Later, it is shown to be living in a pool in America's backyard. It has a fondness for Lithuania, much to Tony's jealousy.

CatsEdit

A white, fluffy cat is shown as America's pet in Why Americans Love Spring. Another cat that resembles its master (down to a "Nantucket" hair) is shown in some Nekotalia sketches and in a panel in volume 3's fake summary of events.

RabbitEdit

Possibly inspired by the pun on his name (usagi, which looks similar to U.S.A, means "bunny" in Japanese), young America is often shown either holding or playing with a brown and white rabbit.

Australia's KoalaEdit

In his intructory sketches, Australia is shown to own an angry-looking koala. It's possible this is a joking reference to Australian "drop bears".

China's PandasEdit

China has a panda that he often carries around with him in a bamboo basket that he slings over his back. China has also been seen with a life-sized panda that he calls Panda-san. The Chinese fandom affectionately refers to the pandas as 滚滚 (Gun gun) in lieu of their round appearance. Sometimes, he is Russia

England's Rabbit/HareEdit

In some comics, a younger version of England is shown to have had a rabbit that followed him around. Some fanon suggests that this rabbit was a gift from France, as rabbits weren't native in England and were introduced by the French. However, it might very well be a hare rather than a rabbit, judging by its size and long, shaggy ears (rabbits have shorter ears than hares) . Unlike rabbits, hares are native to England, further supporting this theory.

France's BirdsEdit

• Voiced by: Ai Orikasa

France has at least 36 small birds

, all named Pierre, who are used to send letters and messages to Spain and other nations. Italy commented on Prussia's blog and asked if his bird could do the same.

Germany's PetsEdit

DogsEdit

Germany has three dogs shown and named in canon: Blackie, Berlitz, and Aster, all three of which are mentioned in his version of Hatafutte Parade. Blackie is believed to be a short-haired German Shepherd, Berlitz is a Doberman, and Aster appears to be a Golden Retriever.

A fourth, unnamed dog and its puppy have been shown in the trading card set. They appear to be Dalmatians. Germany also briefly appeared with a dog and a cat in the strip Red Panties.

CatsEdit

• Voiced by: Aki Kanada (black cat), Hiroki Yasumoto (Germany-cat)

As mentioned above, Germany is depicted in Red Panties with a dog, as well as a black cat. He is later shown to own a deep gray cat that has a personality much like his own, though it is only identified as Germany-cat, or Germouser in fandom.

GinoEdit

• Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa

Though unnamed in the actual Nekotalia strip, North Italy has a cat that resembles him in personality and appearance, down to having a spiral curl protrude from its head. In the Nekotalia strip he is called Italy-cat, or Itabby in fandom. His name was later given on the Bamboo Thicket blog.

Gino also has a brother that resembles South Italy, in fandom referred to as "Ro-gato". This is a play on words combining South Italy's name (Romano) with "Big Brother Spain"'s word for cat (gato).

Greece's CatsEdit

Greece has many cats that live in his house and follow him around, parodying the large number of stray cats found in Greece. Most of them are not named, as Japan found out while talking to Greece.

HanatamagoEdit

Hanatamago (Sometimes refered to as "Hana" for short by fans) is a small white dog who belongs to Finland and Sweden. She was able to talk in a Christmas special, and said that she wished she had a normal name like 'Charlotte' or 'Marianne', and that she didn't like the things that Finland feeds her.

In the requests for the 2011 April Fools event, a fan asked how the Nordics would react if Hanatamago turned into a human. In the answering sketch, she was shown with light shoulder-length hair, and she still had her dog ears.

Some fans theorize that she may possibly represent the Åland Islands, which are geographically located between

both Sweden and Finland (while Hanatamago happens to live with both as a pet). A line by Sweden that Hanatamago will likely eventually want her own "house" also fueled this speculation.

Her name means "Flower Egg" (花/はな["hana"]=flower, 卵/たまご["tamago"]= egg).

Japan's PetsEdit

Pochi Edit

• Voiced by: Aki Kanada

Pochi is Japan's dog.

TamaEdit

• Voiced by: Hiroki Takahashi

  

In the Nekotalia strips, Japan is revealed to own a small black cat named Tama, who resembles his owner in both personality and appearance with its dull eyes. Like Japan, Tama can be apprehensive and needs to debate when it comes to food.

KokoloEdit

Cameroon is revealed to have a pet lion cub named Kokolo after his appearance in the special edition booklet of Hetalia: Axis Powers volume 3.

KumajirouEdit

• Voiced by: Ai Iwamura, Alexis Tipton

Kumajirou is a small white bear who belongs to Canada. He often forgets who his owner is, and in return, Canada cannot remember his exact name. He is most likely a Polar bear, though some fans hypothesize he may be a Kermode bear instead. This has not been confirmed one way or another in the manga, although in one piece of art Germany does mistake Kumajirou for Knut (a baby polar bear from Germany), lending support to that idea. Another fan speculation is that Kumajiro represents Alaska because of how Alaska is a part of Canada's geography but is not a part of the nation.

Throughout the series (more prominently in seasons 3 and 4), as events come closer to modern times, Kumajirou appears to grow with the timeline.

Mr. Puffin Edit

• Voiced by: Masaya Onosaka

Mr. Puffin, is a puffin (of course) whom is owned by one of The Nordics, Iceland.

In original artwork, he had a black belly. In the animated adaption he is shown with a white belly. (As in the image)

Mr. Puffin speaks in an Italian Mobster accent as does he act like one.

Netherlands' RabbitEdit

In one strip, Netherlands is shown to have a pet rabbit with a heart-shaped spot on its back. It appears to be a Holland Lop.The rabbit is able to communicate with Pochi, and reveals that its master has become lonely due to the conflict with Belgium.

New Zealand's SheepEdit

New Zealand has been drawn with a sheep on the Hetalia World Map from volume 3 of the manga. It parodies the fact that there are more sheep in New Zealand than there are people. (40 million Sheep and 4 million people) In New Zealand sheep are a very important parts of the economy.

Poland's PonyEdit

Prussia's Awesome Bird(s)Edit

• Voiced by: Atsushi Kousaka (anime)

Prussia has a small, yellow chick-like bird who is just as awesome as Prussia. It is usually perched on Prussia's head or shoulder.

Prussia was initially unaware of a bird on his head despite it having been with him since he was young. Italy brought the bird to Prussia's attention in a comment on the latter's blog. In one episode, the bird is seen to carry some of Prussia's mail to other countries.

Fans have nicknamed the creature "Gilbird" after its owner, and fanart has sometimes depicted Prussia with more than one bird or an entire flock of brids.

Russia's PetsEdit

CatEdit

In the Nekotalia strips in volume 3, Russia is shown to own a large cat that somewhat resembles him, right down to his prominent nose. It attempts to make friends with the Italy brothers' cats, though Belarus's cat becomes very jealous.

RabbitsEdit

In the 2008 April 1st strip, we see Spain reporting on strange international news. Towards the beginning, he mentions that rabbits had retreated to the mountains very suddenly. The strip includes a picture of Russia happily petting one of these rabbits.

Sealand's SeagullEdit

In a recent image profile of Sealand, he is seen with a seagull to his right wearing a sailor's cap that is a little different than Sealand's hat.

Spain's BullEdit

• Voiced by: Keikou Sakai

A small bull sometimes shows up alongside Spain to aid him. The bull charged into the Ottoman Empire's carriage after to break Romano free and was later used to carry him back home. He also attacked France from behind during The Battle of Garigliano. During the April Fool's fake news report, the bull sat next to Spain with his own name tag that reads as "cattle" or "cow".

Switzerland's GoatsEdit

Eiger, Jungfrau, and Mönch are the names of Switzerland's pet goats, all named after Swiss mountains. He is pictured with one on the official Hetalia calendar.

Thailand's ElephantEdit

According to a recent blog entry, Thailand has a male elephant named Toto, whom he dotes on ridiculously to the point of it being overweight. The elephant also has a fluffy speech pattern, especially when compared to Iceland's puffin.

Magical Creatures and AliensEdit

England's Magical CreaturesEdit

England has various magical creatures that appear before him, such as fairies, pixies, unicorns, and a little winged rabbit. Fanon has suggested various different names for his unicorn, and the green flying fairy-rabbit suggested as being Arthur's magical familiar. In the English dub, he refers to the fairy rabbit as "Flying Mint Bunny", indicating that the rabbit has no real name in either version.

Japan's Magical CreaturesEdit

• Voiced by: Hozumi Gōda (Kappa), Takahiro Mizushima (Youkai/"Onion Head"), and Yuki Kaida (Zashiki-warashi)

Norway's Magical CreaturesEdit

Norway is shown to have creature companions from Norse mythology. He's often drawn with a troll or a chubby green pixie/fairy, but is said to also have a nisse.

Picto AliensEdit

A species of aliens that appear in the film Hetalia: Axis Powers: Paint it, White. They are all white and featureless figures with an antenna protruding from their heads, with no discernible differences to tell them apart as they act as a hive mind. Those touched by the Picto are transformed into them and become part of the hive, though the stronger a person's happiness is, the more resistance they have to being fully converted.

TonyEdit

• Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto (drama CD), Ai Orikasa (anime)

An alien who came to live with America after the Roswell Incident. He seems to have hated England ever since they first met, going as far as to call him a "fucking limey" ('limey' being a negative slang term for 'British'). He seems to be quite fond of Lithuania, though, trying to abduct him with a spaceship and getting jealous whenever he spends more time with America's whale. In one of the mini dramas, he ends his sentences with "bubu". He also appears to have knowledge about other planets and aliens, as shown in Hetalia: Axis Powers: Paint it, White .

Other AnimalsEdit

KittyEdit

• Voiced by: Aki Kanada

Kitty is a brown cat that appeared with Italy in Episode 13, and again with Japan in Episode 19, as well as some random points in the anime and manga. It also appears in Hetalia: Axis Powers: Paint it, White. In the dub, Italy has named it "Pookie"

TurtlesEdit

In episode Episode 92 (World Series: Episode 40), when Spain was out at a restaurant with Romano, he attempted to cheer him up by exclaiming that even the turtles were worried over him, causing Romano to discover that turtles were inside the restaurant. Spain then wondered what they should name the turtles, though a policeman ordered him to give them back.
