Tom & Tab

Tom and Tab, also known as Dick and Bo in the original Japanese, are villains in the anime Kimba the White Lion. The two cause trouble for Kimba and his friends.

Role
These two hyenas are trickster henchmen under the employ of Claw and Cassius, usually acting as spies and informants among other hyenas working for Claw. While they act kind of punk-ish, they are cowardly and will flee when things start to go against their favor.

On one occasion, Tom and Tab fake turning into heroes along with Cassius so as to gain access inside the amusement park Kimba and his associates built over Claw's hunting ground as a safe haven. They quickly reveal their true colors in an unusual performance where they attempt to convince the animal children that being evil is glamorous and rewarding. The hyenas join Claw in imprisoning Kimba's friends but are easily overcome and defeated.

Tom typically does most of the talking while Tab parrots his speech.
