"HAVE YOU SEEN MY TAMA?"
"MATSU BATH"
"DAIKI BUILDERS"
"TAMA OKAMOTO" Huh?
"TAMA OKAMOTO"
Tama.
"POCHI YAMADA"
Are you okay?
"POCHI YAMADA" Yeah. Pochi, look!
Gotcha! Wait!
Cherry blossom, captured!
Hey, look! Tama!
Tama?
"OKAMOTO HOME (TAMA'S HOUSE)"
Tama!
Time to eat!
He went off somewhere again.
Only one thing to do.
Hey, Tama, what's wrong?
Tama!
"DISTRICT 3 BULLETIN BOARD" "HAVE YOU SEEN MY TAMA?"
Takeshi!
"DISTRICT 3 BULLETIN BOARD" "HAVE YOU SEEN MY TAMA?" Kuramochi!
What are you doing?
Our Tama took off somewhere.
Have you seen my Tama?
He's got brown spots on his head, shoulders, and tail.
He has a gentle nature and rarely meows.
When you call him "Tama"...
Tama!
...he wiggles his butt. He's got a kinked tail.
What's wrong?
I'm just...
If you find him, please contact Okamoto in District 3.
Huh. So you put up a poster every time he disappears.
My Tama gets lost easily.
Are you putting all of these up?
I'll help you.
--You don't mind? --Nope.
I've got nothing better to do.
You guys, too. Let me know if you find Tama.
Do you know these cats?
Oh, that's right. You just moved here recently.
There are a lot of dogs and cats in District 3 and these cats are Tama's friends.
Really?
Tama's got tons of close friends!
His best friend is Pochi, who belongs to the tofu maker.
Pochi has a great sense of smell.
This way!
Found it!
Oh, come on! I don't want you to look for food!
See? You're hungry too, Tama!
But I wonder who lives here.
I wonder if they would get mad if I ate their food.
Yummy!
Oh, Tama!
You have some too, Pochi.
All right, just a little...
Thank you for the food!
Delicious!
Right?
You two...
"BULL KURAMOCHI" You've got guts, strolling in here and eating my food.
Your post-meal dessert is going to be lapping up your own blood.
We're sorry!
"TORA KISO" "BEH KAWAHARA" "KOMA OKETANI" Sheesh. Tama is lost again?
"TORA KISO" "BEH KAWAHARA" "KOMA OKETANI" Let's go ask Kuro.
"TORA KISO" "BEH KAWAHARA" "KOMA OKETANI"
Beh, are you sleepy?
I helped deliver the morning edition today.
Beh belongs to the newspaper carrier, but hates getting up early.
Take us to the street closest to Kuro's house.
Okay.
Befitting the cat of a newspaper carrier,
Beh knows all the back streets and shortcuts of District 3.
"DISTRICT 3 CONVENIENCE STORE"
"KURO"
Kuro!
"KURO MIKAWA"
What's up?
Kuro lives at the convenience store.
His grandfather was a pedigreed dog who won several championships.
Tama's lost?
Let's search for him!
But he's clumsy, so it's hard to see that he's an elite dog by blood.
"INTERIOR NODA" Gon, who lives at an interior shop, is easygoing.
"GON NODA" Lost, huh?
"GON NODA" Yeah...
Well, it'll work out somehow.
Momo from Cafe Tulip is the idol of District 3.
She's a friendly, popular cat.
"MOMO HANASAKI" Tama?
"MOMO HANASAKI" Let's split up and search!
Tora, the carpenter's cat, loves climbing high places.
See him?
Uh-uh.
Okay. Let's try somewhere else.
Tora?
But sometimes, once he climbs up a tree, he can't get back down.
Don't tell anyone else about this!
Jeez. This guy is more trouble than he's worth.
Tama!
Koma, you're a glutton!
Koma, the public bathhouse cat, is little, but she really puts it away.
Hey, you two!
Who said you could eat my foo--
I-I'm sorry!
That was scary!
I've never seen that dog before.
It was scary, huh?
It's okay, it's okay. You're so cute!
Koma is younger than the others, a bit of a coward, and pampered.
Don't treat me like a child!
Nora is a stray cat.
So I don't know where he lives.
He often eats Tama's food, but they're friends, so no one gets angry.
Nora!
Is Tama around?
"NORA"
Don't ask me.
I thought maybe he doubled back home.
Is he lost again?
Help us look for him!
I'm sure he'll be back soon.
Come on, Tama, let's go home.
Tama!
Mom.
Oh, Hana.
Where were you? We were all worried about you.
Tama.
Cherry blossom, captured!
Look!
Wow, amazing!
Should we go home, Pochi?
Yeah.
Huh? Where are we?
That's all of them.
Thanks for your help.
It's a good thing you know all about District 3.
I'm sure Tama will come back soon.
Yeah. I hope so.
I-I-It'll be okay! We have homing instincts!
Don't worry!
I'm hungry.
That's grilled fish!
You two don't belong here.
Nora!
Nora! You know where we are?
We got lost.
If you go straight through here, it'll take you to the usual park.
--Really? --Yeah. See you.
Nora! Where are you going?
See you tomorrow, Nora!
Tama!
Everyone!
We were looking for you!
We heard you were lost!
And you too, huh, Pochi?
Sorry, everyone.
Well, I figured you'd be back soon.
So you didn't look for me then.
You just don't have much of a presence, Pochi!
We weren't worried about you!
That's not making him feel any better.
Everyone, since we're already here, why don't we play on the swings?
I'm going home.
Takeshi must be worried about me.
And you love Takeshi, huh?
Yeah! I love him!
He's back!
Bull, I'm home!
Bull, I found out that District 3 has so many cats and dogs.
I'm sure you'll become friends with them eventually.
Oh, I know!
Maybe I'll take you to Takeshi's house next time so you can meet Tama.
I'd like to make friends with him, too!
Tama?
Mom, Tama's home!
We were worried about you!
Welcome home, Tama.
"DOG MEETING"
It was a dog I hadn't seen before, so I think he probably moved to District 3 recently.
But he was a really scary dog!
Scary? How scary?
Like a million times scarier than a tosa!
Can a dog be that scary?
Tosas are totally scary.
It's true! He was terrifying!
Now I'm curious.
Yeah. Why don't we go over and introduce ourselves?
Good idea. Pochi, would you take us there?
Seriously?
"KURAMOCHI HOME (BULL'S HOUSE)"
Those guys who came here the other day...
Were they from District 3?
Cute.
No, no, no!
The first days and weeks after making a move are crucial.
I have to practice my self-introduction so nobody makes light of me.
I'm the god of the new world of mad dogs!
No, that's not it.
What do you say I make you my Hachiko?
That's not quite right.
I want to express myself more simply.
Bull, the Solitary King of Destruction!
Yeah, that's it.
I'm cooler than cool.
Bull, the Solitary King of Destruction!
--What's he doing? --Bull, the Solitary King of Destruction!
See? Isn't he scary?
--Yeah. --Scary in more ways than one.
Bull, the Solitary King of Destruction!
"OUR WAIHA"
--Hey, Tora, you're heavy! --Only you isn't fair, Tama!
Ow.
Sheesh. Don't interrupt my nap.
When there's a cardboard box right in front of me, I have to get in it!
I liked that box.
Hey, are cardboard boxes Waiha?
Waiha?
What's that?
My newspaper carrier said someone was talking about Waiha.
A paradise that's warm all year round, where you don't have to think about anything
and it's somewhere you'd want to stay forever.
That's Waiha!
Huh. Waiha, huh?
I know about that!
"TOMEKICHI KISO (TORA'S MASTER)" And enter...
Okay, on my way.
It's warm and you don't want to leave it.
Tora!
The data I've been collecting for hours!
That's Waiha, huh?
Or maybe it's that...
Tora...
I can't eat with you on top of that.
All right, fine.
I was moved off both places, but I wanted to stay there forever, so I think that was Waiha.
I know a place like that, too.
A paradise that's warm and I want to stay there forever.
I love sleeping with Takeshi.
I wonder if that's Waiha.
No, that's Takeshi.
Waiha may be really close to us.
Hey, why don't we look for it?
--Sure! --Let's go!
This is my Waiha.
Beh, you're in the way! I can't get by!
This is my Waiha.
On rainy days, I can go below. It's a two-stage Waiha!
This is my Waiha!
Huh?
"MATSU BATH" How do I get down from here?
It's not quite right.
Yeah. If I call that "Waiha," it feels like an insult to Waiha.
Yeah. There must be a Waiha that's more Waihaan,
that make the heart sing "So this is Waiha?"
Exactly! Let's find a way more awesome Waiha!
Wait!
Tama.
I'm here.
What are you doing?
No, what are you doing here, Nora?
Learning about the world.
Learning?
That's right, you know all kinds of difficult stuff, huh, Nora?
So what were you doing, Tama?
Beh.
It's seriously warm here!
Really?
Warm.
Right?
I could stay here forever.
It feels like Waiha to me!
I feel a warm wind from above.
Waiha?
Yeah! We're all looking for Waiha.
Let's look for it together, Nora!
For "Waiha"?
For Waiha!
Listen, Waiha is...
Tama!
Beh!
This is a super-warm paradise!
Really?
Tora?
I can hear a voice that sounds like when a human gets in the bathtub on a cold day.
So this is Waiha.
Tora? Where are you?
This is seriously Waiha. Join me, you guys!
Get out of there now!
Hey, what's wrong?
Damn it. The engine room...
Tora, you need to get out of there!
Nora? I found paradise!
Get out now!
What the heck? You don't have to get mad about it.
--Tora! --Jeez. Fine!
Huh? How do I get out of here?
Yeah.
I'll ram my fist up your butt and knock out your back teeth!
Only one thing to do.
Nora?
What's wrong, kitty?
You can't be there!
That was close.
If I hadn't noticed and started the engine, there would've been a big mess.
Sheesh. It's not safe for kitty-cats in there.
Sorry. I didn't know it was a dangerous place.
Some humans don't notice us and some humans don't even like cats.
Yeah.
We have to be careful.
But I can't help going in warm places.
The humans could at least have the courtesy to check whether we're in there or not.
Yeah. All they'd have to do is knock on the hood of the car before starting it up.
In the end, we didn't find our Waiha.
Maybe Waiha is something that's in everyone's hearts.
The kind feeling in the heart of someone who's warm and you want to snuggle with.
That's Waiha.
Tora.
No, Waiha is a U.S. state.
"HAWAII"
This is Waiha?
Yeah. Except it's actually "Hawaii," not "Waiha."
Only old men in this country use the nickname "Waiha."
Jeez! We wasted all afternoon looking for something in District 3 that isn't here!
Well, it was still fun, so I don't mind.
Yeah, it was fun.
The warm feeling in someone's heart. That's Waiha!
Stop it!
I don't want to hear that again!
Why, you!
Just forget about it!
