Origins

The phenomenon which later became known as "Hammerspace" has been occurring in animation for many years. Inexplicable production of items dates back to the very beginning of animated shorts and was a fairly common occurrence during the golden age of animation. Warner Bros. cartoon characters are particularly well-known for often pulling all sorts of things — guns, disguises, bombs, anvils, mallets— from behind their backs or just offscreen. However, this phenomenon was mostly just left to suspension of disbelief. Only recently have fans created a pseudo-explanation to explain (albeit jokingly) the phenomenon. The Golden Age of American animation is a period in American animation history that began with the advent of sound cartoons in 1928 and lasted into the 1960s when theatrical animated shorts slowly began losing to the new medium of television animation. ...

The term "Hammerspace" itself originates from a gag common in certain anime and manga. A typical example would be when a male character would anger or otherwise offend a female character, who would proceed to produce, out of thin air, an oversized wooden rice mallet (saizuchi) and hit him on the head with it in an exaggerated manner. The strike would be purely for comic effect, and would not have any long-lasting effects. The term was largely popularized first by fans of Urusei Yatsura, and later of Ranma ½. It is believed by some that the term "Hammerspace" itself was coined after Ranma ½'s character Akane Tendo due to her frequency to produce large hammers from nowhere.^{[citation needed]} The main cast of the anime Cowboy Bebop (1998) (L to R: Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Ed Tivrusky, Faye Valentine, and Ein the dog) For the oleo-resin, see Animé (oleo-resin). ...

She is the youngest of Soun Tendos three daughters and one of the heirs to the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts. ...

Another series that may have lead to the term is City Hunter. One of the lead characters in City Hunter—Kaori—makes extensive use of the "transdimensional hammers" as they are sometimes called, as they are one of the two main running gags in the series; the other is the extreme lecherousness of the other main character—Ryo—which almost invariably leads to the use of said hammers. The City Hunter hammers also require more explaining in terms of storage, as they are often considerably larger than the characters themselves, and thus more likely to inspire questions like "where did she get that from!?". At the very least, City Hunter predates Ranma by two years, and already had an extensive fanbase. City Hunter is a Japanese manga series created by Tsukasa Hojo (北條 司) in 1980s, later adapted into an anime series by Sunrise. ...

Hammerspace in games

The theory of Hammerspace can also be applied to many video games, as game mechanics often defy those of the real world: for instance, a character might be able to carry a bike or a sword larger than himself without any sign of it before use, and inventory capabilities are commonly implausible. This is particularly visible in traditional adventure games (every item encountered can often be carried, or pull out a large item without any indication beforehand of where it was stored, such as in The Legend of Zelda) and RPGs (e.g. 99 Potions and 99 Hi-Potions in many Final Fantasies*, or the ability to carry 60 king-sized beds at a time in Final Fantasy XI). In this capacity, however, hammerspace is shown to have certain limits, as the inventory can contain 99 potions and 99 high potions but not 100 potions and zero high potions.

Another example involves Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series. Snake is seen to hold various weapons such as handguns, machine-guns, and grenades.

Although there are numerous examples from the genre Hammerspace usage is not just limited to adventure games. In The Sims 2 the sims make extensive use of Hammerspace, regularly pulling items out of their back pockets which could not possibly fit there. Examples include rakes, hairdryers, watering cans and bags of flour. In addition they have seemingly limitless personal inventories in which they can carry round almost anything, from a mobile phone to a sports car without actually having anywhere to store it. These items are also occasionally pulled from the back pocket when used in game (as in the case of mobile phones). Although The Sims 2 is supposed to mimic reality in many ways it does still retain cartoon like elements and hammerspace was probably implemented to prevent sims having to trek to a storage shed/closet/drawer etc every time they wanted to use a certain item, something which would no doubt have been both boring for the player and impractical in terms of gameplay.

Closer to Hammerspace's original comedic usage, Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon has its protagonist Roger Wilco cram a full-sized ladder into his pocket. The concept is expanded upon in Space Quest VI: The Spinal Frontier when Roger encounters a ladder, with the narrator remarking "Now how do you think you're going to carry around a six foot ladder?"; when he pushes the ladder into his pocket, the narrator says "You take the ladder and put it in your pocket. Ouch!" The phrase Roger Wilco may refer to: A phrase from two-way radio used as a voice procedure. ...

One other example is the entire Broken Sword series. Starting with the traditionally animated original and continuing through to the 4th fully 3D rendered episode, unlikely hero George Stobbart has always exploited Hammerspace probably more than most characters have.

• An example which perhaps belongs in "Similar Concepts" (Below) is seen in the Resident Evil series. Characters are allowed a limit load and must decide what to carry. Excess items may be saved in trunk-like storage boxes sited throughout the game, usually near save points. However, these items may be retrieved, stored or swapped as required from any other storage box in the game, regardless of their location, indicating that all the boxes in fact access the same space.

Impossible item carrying doesn't need to be inexplicable. Some fiction settings address the matter by any of various means, creating what isn't Hammerspace but can work in much the same way.

• In Harry Potter, wizards use a similar technology for their magical tents, where the insides are as spacious as a small house.
• Numerous comical shows play the absurdity of the situation for laughs by deliberately drawing attention to it, an act known as "lampshade hanging." [1] For instance, in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon The Super Globetrotters, one of the main characters (Louis "Sweet Lou" Dunbar) stashes his inventory in his comically oversized afro, and Marge Simpson has likewise been seen to pull large and/or heavy objects (such as the Simpson family savings jar) from her hair. Similarly, Harpo Marx of the Marx Brothers produced unlikely items from his coat, most famously a candle burning at both ends in the classic Horse Feathers, an ability mimicked by the character Jerry from the sitcom Parker Lewis Can't Lose. Inspector Gadget's hat contains an infinite number of gadgets, though it is never explained how he can fit the gadgets inside the hat. In the popular Japanese manga and anime Doraemon, the character Doraemon has a "dimensional pocket" attached to his front from which he can pull all manner of strange Chindogu. The sketch comedy show All That featured a character based on this concept named Baggin' Saggin' Barry, who could produce anything (even an airplane) from his unreasonably baggy pants, as does Bill Smith in his "Adventures with Bill" segment on The Red Green Show.
• Spaces that are larger on the inside than on the outside are common, in fact this is the most common extra-dimensional storage space variant among live-action media. These can be whole houses, such as Snoopy's doghouse in Peanuts, which features a billiards table, a Van Gogh painting and a basement. Smaller ones can even be carried, such as a backpack in Robert A. Heinlein's novel Glory Road which is about the size of a house on the inside. Other examples include the "4 Dimensional hypercube" with its apparently-infinite storage capability in The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, and Oscar the Grouch's standard-sized garbage can on Sesame Street which houses not only Oscar but all of his pets, including an elephant ("explained" in Elmo in Grouchland with a portal to another world). One of the most famous examples would be the TARDIS in the BBC television programme Doctor Who, which appears as an old-fashioned police box on the outside but has many rooms within, including a kitchen, swimming pool, sleeping facilities, toilets and a large main control room. The Doctor frequently describes the TARDIS as "bigger on the inside", and has also demonstrated that his pockets are bigger on the inside in one episode of the programme, although it may have been intended as a joke on his part.
• The Storage Boxes of Resident Evil would fall into this category, in that they can store items and amounts of items larger than their apparent capacity, as well as the space being accessible from different locations. These boxes have a finite space capacity (one item per space, with a limited number of spaces): However, it is practically impossible to advance in the game and save enough equipment to fill the whole box.
• In Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, the Unseen University is frequently said to be much larger on the inside, and you can apparently wander forever in the multi-dimensional Library while the central glass dome remains overhead. The series also features The Luggage, a living trunk that walks on hundreds of little legs and can store an enormous amount of materials while instantly opening to what is needed while keeping what isn't hidden. Pratchett further expores the idea of L-space, in which he proposes that all libraries existing in all universes in all times occupy the same dimension; Ergo, it is possible to travel via libraries to other times and places This explains why some people can get lost in libraries, and certain second hand bookshops appear to have strange little doors at the back, whilst their owners wear outmoded clothing. The equation is as follows: Knowledge=Power=Energy=Matter=Mass, which distorts space.
• In the Russian novel series The Labyrinths of Eho, the main character acquires a talent to reach his hand anywhere he can't see it to retrieve items from other dimensions, from hot cups of coffee to pink umbrellas.

• In Karin(Chibi Vampire in America) the character Walker Sinclair often uses hammerspace to store weapons, presents, etc., and this could even explain his ability to appear from nowhere, used for comic relief. For instance, in an early appearance, he challenges another character to a duel with rapiers, producing one for himself and his opponent, even though he is only wearing a school uniform and carrying a small schoolbag. In a later episode he throws a spear at someone (from somewhere in midair), then when he retrieves it he simply slides it behind his back, while a character remarks 'Where did you come from? And where did that spear go?'. In his first episode he also produces a working, old-style pistol, but this could have been hidden in his large mantle (though it does not appear to be equipped with pockets, or even buttons/zippers to reach into it).
• In the manga and anime City Hunter, Kaori Makimura uses hammerspace weapons when she needs to stop Ryo Saeba and his perverted habits. Usually they are at least 100-tons hammers.

Commercials

Television commercials over the years have used hammerspace:

• A Kit-Kat ad campaign from the late 80s involved a man and a woman in two separate commercials deciding they wanted something to eat. The woman pulls food items out of her purse, while the man pulls them out of his pants pocket, and the items they pull out before pulling out a Kit-Kat bar were items that, in real life, couldn't easily be stored there (i.e. the woman pulls a fully intact birthday cake out of her purse, while the man pulls a large hamburger out of his pocket).

Notes

• The term Hammerspace is often used synonymously with magic satchel; however, Hammerspace is an actual extra dimension where items are stored, whereas a magic satchel uses magic to either contain these items or to access Hammerspace itself, similar to the way The Doctor (from Doctor Who) uses sufficiently advanced technology in his space-time machine the TARDIS to achieve the same results. In The Runaway Bride, he notes that his pockets are also bigger on the inside.
• More often than not, non-animated occurrences in film or television are explained as a plot hole rather than Hammerspace access, and dismissed due to suspension of disbelief. Examples include the live-action Highlander TV series, where the sword-wielding Immortals often have their weapons readily available despite their lack of a suitable container or article of clothing in which to carry a concealed sword.
