Tom-Tom (Papa-Capim in Portuguese) is the main character of The Tribe.
Description[]
Tom-Tom is a young sagacious and kindly Brazilian indigenous - a "curumim" in the often used Tupi-Guarani term - that resides in the Amazonian Forest. He is responsible for fishing to feed the people from his tribe. He has a friend called Tamoyo and a girlfriend called Papaya. He is an avid hunter and fisher, but above all, an environment protector that won't allow any "Caraíba" to harm the jungle and its animals.
Trivia[]
- His Brazilian name, Papa-Capim, is based at the bird yellow-bellied seedeater (papa-capim-capuchinho in portuguese), common in Bahia.
