Kuchipatchi

Kuchipatchi (くちぱっち Kuchipatchi) is a male adult-stage Tamagotchi who debuted on the first generation of the original Tamagotchi worldwide.

Kuchipatchi has a round, green, jelly bean-like body with two large lips, beady eyes, stubby arms and legs, and light pea-green cheeks (which were added in the Connection era). On the Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. app, he can also be pink or yellow.

Kuchipatchi has a carefree and gentle nature. He is mild and lazy, but very romantic and a daydreamer. He sometimes cheats if playing games. He has a supersized passion for food, especially Tama-Donuts, and he also loves to take naps. He also loves relaxing in hot springs and will sometimes sleep in one.

Kuchipatchi tends to say "datchi" at the end of most of his sentences and uses the word in exclamation as well. In the English dub of the movie and anime, he instead says "tchi" at the end of his sentences and "Ya-tchi!" when he's excited or agreeing with someone. In the Tamagotchi Friends web series, he goes back to saying "datchi".

In the anime series, Kuchipatchi has the ability to stretch his body. In dangerous situations, other Tamagotchis have stretched him out to use him as an impromptu trampoline or slide to catch falling Tamagotchis. He also has the ability to bounce like a rubber ball, but is unable to stop bouncing until someone stops him.

Kuchipatchi is a part of the main cast along with Mametchi and Memetchi and appears often in episodes with a main or secondary role. Eating is one of his favorite pastimes, and he often has food on his mind. He isn't too bright, and he sometimes talks about food when he is supposed to be focusing on something else. Soaking in a hot spring is another one of his favorite past times and he is even seen going to bed in a hot spring. Kuchipatchi resides in Patchi Forest with PapaPatchi, Mamapatchi, and his younger twin brothers the Chibipatchis. He attends Tamagotchi School and is in Mametchi's class.

Tamagotchi - The Movie:
Kuchipatchi and Memetchi arrive at Mametchi's house to see his new invention, but end up seeing Tanpopo, a girl from The Earth who was transported by Mametchi's machine. After introducing each other, everyone goes to Tamagotchi School and Tanpopo sits next to Kuchipatchi during class. Later on, Mametchi and Tanpopo are seen chasing after Chamametchi's egg and the two end up falling off a tall building along with Memetchi. KuroMametchi quickly asks Kuchipatchi for help and he and other Tamagotchis stretch Kuchipatchi out to use as a trampoline to safely catch everyone.

When Mametchi, Tanpopo, and Chamametchi go to space to cure Tamagotchi Planet of their cold and look for Sunnytchi, Kuchipatchi joins them. They successfully give Tamagotchi Planet a cold pill, but get blown out to deep space where Blackholetchi resides. Kuchipatchi joins everyone in the ship in yelling at Blackholetchi to wake up before he sucks in Mametchi and Tanpopo who are outside trying to fix the ship. Blackholetchi is woken up in time and the ship makes it back to Tamagotchi Planet with Sunnytchi's help. At the end of the movie, Kuchipatchi is seen crying while saying goodbye to Tanpopo as she leaves for Earth.
