Appearance[]

The Gotchi King resembles a large, golden egg wearing a royal crown and a red cape with white, furry trim. His crown appears to be made of gold with red fabric in the middle, and red spots or gems along the gold. There is also a pink orb on top of the crown.

He has no visible face, but is capable of speech. However, in the Corner Shop games, he does not speak, instead using emoticons to express his emotions.

When he originally debuted, his cape was green and his crown had a very simple design.

History[]

Based on the paintings in Gotchi King's castle along time ago, a Gotchi King fell down from the sky. The Tamagotchi back then believed that he was mighty, wise and destined to rule the planet. Then the years had passed and Gotchi King still rules Tamagotchi Planet, passing his throne to the next generation of the Gotchi King.

During the half-ending in Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 3, Uranaitchi shows some of the Mayor's past, when he battled the Gotchi King in a game of Rock Paper Scissors for the throne. The Gotchi King won and retained the crown.

A very early depiction appears of the King in the 1997 direct-to-video animation Tamagotchi Video Adventures. He is strikingly similar to his current form, except his cape is green and he has visible eyes. He keeps in touch with Cosmotchi through a computer on how the visit to Earth is going. When Maskutchi's stick is put into the museum, the Gotchi King smiles and bows to him.

Let's Go! Tamagotchi![]

In "Gotchi King Doesn't Laugh?!", it was revealed that if he laughs too hard, he will crack-which is based on the verbal expression of "cracking up", and the fact he is an egg. He does start to crack by the end of an episode, but it is not known what happens afterwards. This canon is present in Tamagotchi! too, but he never starts to crack because he usually stifles his laughter.

Tamagotchi: The Movie[]

In Tamagotchi: The Movie, Gotchi King does not have a major or speaking role, but his birthday is frequently discussed and used throughout the plot as the Tamagotchis are making preparations for it. In the English dub, he is called the Great Gotchi instead of Gotchi King, similarly to Tamagotchi Video Adventures and matching his original Japanese name.

Tamagotchi![]

In Tamagotchi!, Gotchi King is a egg-like Tamagotchi that rules Tamagotchi Planet. He loves cute things like Telelin, Pashalin and even Lovelitchi and Melodytchi. He loves telling jokes, but they're not really funny; somehow the only Tamagotchis who like his jokes are Melodytchi, Kizunatchi, and Telelin. Everyone expects him to be wise, but when he speaks he always tell jokes and puns, such as "eggcellent" ("egg" and "excellent"). He is cheerful, but somewhat childish and irresponsible, and sometimes his daughter Princess Tamako has to scold him or tell him what to do. Because he has no limbs, he can't move a lot on his own, and usually his Royal Servants will carry him around on his throne.

He debuts in "No Boys Allowed! The Princess Day Party" where he gives a short speech to the girls from Tamagotchi School who were invited to the Girl's Day party while cracking egg puns. After Princess Tamako shoos him out from the room, he joins the boys from school who were trying to figure out how to sneak into the party. He suggests using the dressing room to dress up girly so they can blend in and later on, ends up falling on them after Kuchipatchi jumps from excitement.

In "Time Slip! Jungle Tamagotchi Planet", the Kuchipatchi of Truth takes Mametchi and his friends back in time to the era of the first Gotchi King. This Gotchi King is identical in personality to the modern-day version, except he has a green cape and crown. This green color scheme could be a reference to the vintage portrayal of the character.

In "Pinch! Gotchi King is Boiling!?", Gotchi King is shown to become sick with the "Easter Egg" sickness which causes him look like an Easter Egg and boil to the point where steam rises off him. It is only cured with a Crystal Crown and will fully cook him if not cured in time. Princess Tamako sets off with Mametchi and his friends to find it in the underground caves and save the Gotchi King. They end up meeting one of Gotchi King's old friends, Adventchi who had long became lost in the caves.

In Video Games[]

Hoshi de Hakken! Tamagotchi[]

After Tamagotchi Video Adventures introduced the concept of a ruler of the Tamagotchi Planet, the PlayStation game introduced the Gotchi King.

He appears as a NPC during some contests.
