Mimitchi (みみっち Mimitchi) is a female adult-stage character that debuted on the second generation of the original Tamagotchi. She became a staple character for the series during the original and Connection eras, but she was used significantly less in the anime and modern/color-screen era. Even so, she remained popular, and was voted the 9th most popular female Tamagotchi (in 2011) on the official 15th Anniversary Poll, surpassing Memetchi by 3 places.
Name Origin[]
Her name comes from the Japanese word "mimi", which means ear. This refers to her large rabbit-like ears. And her Cantonese name, "大耳", literally means "Big Ears".
Appearance[]
Mimitchi resembles a plump white rabbit with long, dark blue or black ears, pink cheeks, and a small, round tail. She has button eyes and a rabbit-like mouth. According to various Tamagotchi media, her ears are actually a hat and nobody knows what's inside.
On the Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. app, she can also be hot pink, or yellow with green ears.
Personality[]
Mimitchi is a prodigy genius with an IQ of 200, making her one of the smartest Tamagotchis. She loves calculating numbers and reading books. She also likes writing, and has excellent penmanship. She has a sincere and polite disposition although she's a sore loser. One of her favorite meals is spaghetti with carrots. When Mimitchi is angry, she bares her fangs and snarls.
In the Tamagotchi manga and anime, she has a speech habit. She adds the word "pyon" to the end of every sentence, which is the Japanese sound effect for bouncing. In the English dub of the Tamagotchi! anime, this is translated to "hop".

"Mimitchi is the most serious of the new species. It has an IQ of 200, which is not as good as Mametchi, but it seems to have become more human-like and familiar with life on Earth. It likes to calculate and can use calculators easily, and can immediately split bills in its head at the bar. Recently, it's been considering getting a qualification for book-keeping.

In the Anime[]
Tamagotchi Video Adventures[]

Mimitchi is classified as a male and is paired up with Pochitchi during the expedition to Earth.

Let's Go! Tamagotchi[]
Mimitchi appears as a background character in Let's Go! Tamagotchi as a member of Mametchi's class. She never speaks in the Tamagotchi movies, but she does in the Tamagotchi! anime as a minor character.
Tamagotchi![]
Mimitchi was one of the only Tamagotchis (who didn't already know Lovelitchi's secret) to notice that Lovelitchi looked identical to Lovelin, and how similar their names were. She even pointed this out to Lovelitchi herself before she voluntarily revealed the secret to all her classmates, which made Lovelitchi nervous at the time. The reason Mimitchi paid attention to their similarities may be because Mimitchi is known to be smarter than most other Tamagotchis. She is best friends with Ringotchi and, like many other Tamagotchis, is a big fan of Lovelin.
In "No Boys Allowed! The Princess Day Party", she attends the princess day party with the other girls in Ms. Perfect's class. She helps herself to the feast and takes a bite of pudding. In "New Members? To Class Suddenly", many students in Mametchi's class were replaced to make room for the new Tamagotchi iD L characters. There was a scene in which Mimitchi and Ringotchi were crying over now being in separate classes, solidifying the fact that they are best friends despite their small amount of focus in the anime.

Went home |
"You Earthlings are very interesting. You spent countless hours taking care of me, at no apparent benefit to yourself. To save you any further losses I've taken leave of your planet. Good-bye and nice job raising me." |
"Congratulations on raising me. According to my calculations, your family can claim the food, electricity and other expenses you incurred raising me on your tax return under "Tamagotchi Expenses." Good luck!" |
"Great job raising me, Mimitchi. If you take the time I spent with you, add the time I spent thinking about you, and divide by how much I'll miss you, you get 324.88879. Which means I like you a lot." |
"Hello good friend. Based on the ostensible fact that I was living and eating on your computer screen, I have deduced that you are a very responsible Earthling. Congratulations on raising me!" |
"Congratulations on your most excellent care! However, your computer had an inferiority complex housing my large brain. Perhaps you should reboot after I scoot (or get more memory). Be well my comrade. " |
Sent home |
"I was disappointed to learn that you sent me back to Tamagotchi. Was it that lunch check I added incorrectly for you? I can assure you that such mistakes are rare. No hard feelings I hope." |
"At first I wondered why you sent me back to Tamagotchi when you did. Then I realized there are too many accountants on Earth as it is. My talents will be much more appreciated on Tamagotchi." |
"I'm impressed with your mathematical skill. How else could you have calculated the precisely correct moment to send me home with the least effort and solar wind interference? Thank you, and well done!" |
