He is a member of the Hapidanbui.
Biography
Tuxedosam was born on May 12th at the South Pole, where he learned to speak "Penguinese", although he also speaks fluent English. He likes to eat all the time. He is a little naïve and open to making careless mistakes, however, lots of people love him.
Tuxedosam boasts a collection of 365 bow ties. He was born to a nameless father and mother, and has two younger brothers called Pam and Tam. His best friend is Chip the seal. They share a very strong bond, because when Chip was a baby he nearly drowned in the Antarctic Ocean and Sam was the one who rescued him.[1] Tuxedosam's height, bust, waist and hips all measure 100cm.[2][3]
In Sanrio Timenet: Kako-Hen and Mirai-Hen
Tuxedosam appears as a Monster Trainer in the Pirate Ship in both Sanrio Timenet: Kako-Hen and Mirai-Hen.
