The Chou Yarikuri Enjoi! Tamagotchi Kakeibo (超やりくりエンジョイ!たまごっちかけいぼ), is a Tamagotchi accessory for the Chou Jinsei Enjoi Tamagotchi Plus released in 2005.
Design[]
The Kakeibo is unique among Tamagotchi releases as it features a touch screen. It is larger than a standard Tamagotchi at the time, with a larger screen and a heart-shaped infrared port above the screen, similar to those of the Deka Tamagotchi models.
It has a stylus on the left side, sticking out like an antanna, which is used to interact with the screen. The bottom of the body has "TMGC TOWN GINZA STREET" embedded into it.
Using the stylus, the top, bottom, and side edges can be tapped for navigation. The bottom left corner is used as a "Select" button, and the bottom right corner is used as a "Cancel" button. These navigation options are printed on the background of the unit.
The initial pink design is made to interact with the Entama, while the blue and yellow designs can interact with both the Entama and the Ura Jinsei Enjoi Tamagotchi Plus. All three comes with notebooks, and the blue and yellow designs come with additional cards.
