Starting from "Waitress Angela" onwards, Tom can be seen wearing a blue collared polo. This outfit is used interchangeably with his Season 4 outfit during the rest of Season 5.

Personality
Tom is the leader of his friend group, always the man to take action before anyone else.

Relationships
Angela Angela is acting as Tom's romantic interest, these feelings are first shown in "Future Tron" where Tom gets scared over the thought of Hank and Angela being in love. Throughout Season 1, Tom's interest on Angela grows deeper as we can see in episodes such as "Tom's Love Song", where Tom wants to write a song specifically to impress her. Although, if anyone tries to confront him about his interest, he will immediately deny what the person is saying, despite how obvious he makes his interest on her towards the people around him.

In "Parallel Universe", Tom gets close to an alternate version of Angela simply because she shares the same feelings towards him. Angela discovers this and becomes frustrated with him for loving the other Angela. Tom questions why Angela is upset as they are not dating, catching onto Angela's mutual feeling. This sets up the Season 1 finale, where Angela admits to also liking Tom in front of Ben. Angela doesn't want to tell Tom about her secret, as she feels it would ruin their relationship if he declined. Tom eventually discovers her secret and they both reveal their love towards each other, kissing each other before their mind is finally wiped by Hank.

In Season 2, they find out about their erased memory through a video recording of the two kissing on Ginger's phone and which starts an awkward tension between the two. They agree to stay as just friends after a date goes wrong and go on a normal friend event together but after the rest of the gang are separated from Tom and Angela, they begin to confess that they've wanted to go on a date after the friend event went wrong and declare their relationship by telling Ginger that they're on a date, much to his disgust.

Ben Ben is Tom's childhood friend and business partner. After meeting through bumping into each other playing the same video game, they are implied to have a great bond over the years from childhood to adulthood. They have dreamt of having a company together and used their ideas and creativity to make it. They often have fights, violent in the pilot but more shouting and insulting in the series. When Tom becomes angry at Ben, he tries to not make Ben famous and ruin Ben's projects secretly. A lot of their arguments can involve the company itself, Tom's normally leading to events of the argument.

Hank Hank is Tom's close friend, as he is known as the roommate to Tom in the studio. It is unknown how they met at all, but unlike the rest of the gang, Hank does not have any outdated backstories used in games or old franchise facts due to him being exclusive to Talking Tom and Friends and later added to the franchise's games and series. Hank is known to share the ability that Tom has of coming up with creative ideas and thoughts. Hank had thought of the idea for My Talking Tom and the company released it. Hank sometimes supports Tom with what he is doing without thinking about what he's getting into, Hank also comes up with solutions to the gang's problems at their time of need in the climax. This is even noticed by the characters themselves as mentioned in "The Incredible Super-Fan", when Hank is not with the rest of the gang and they question what to do.

Ginger Ginger is Tom's neighbor, nephew in Talking Friends, he usually plays tricks on him and the rest of the gang as he likes to laugh and have fun, as well as this, he likes to play with the rest of the gang, usually playing too well for everyone else to catch up. Ginger can sometimes be a menace towards Tom, ruining and using their inventions during the making of one. He doesn't like anyone else taking his friends away from him and can use his annoyance on those who break their friendship in order to get them back. He can get frustrated about the friends being uptight about rules and doesn't like it when everyone ignores what he's saying but he learns that sometimes they need to do things in order to stay where they are. He also heavily dislikes and is disgusted by love, therefore not liking Tom and Angela's relationship.
