Gamanosuke (がまのすけ Gamanosuke) is a male Tama Pet who appeared in the Tamagotchi! anime. He has also appeared as a NPC on the Tamagotchi On.
Name Origin[]
Gamanosuke's name comes from the Japanese word gama (蟇), which means toad. Nosuke (のすけ) is a rather common ending in Japanese names, such as Jounosuke or Shinnosuke.
Appearance[]
Gamanosuke looks like a giant toad. He has dark green warty skin, a white belly, and a yellow beak. There is a red scarf tied around his neck.
Personality[]
Gamanosuke has a pleasant disposition. Despite his large size, he is actually very gentle. He has a strong tongue which he uses to grab and hold things. He also has the ability to shrink into the size of an actual toad and hide in small places he couldn't otherwise fit in.
He acts more like a Tama Pet than a regular Tamagotchi, since his behavior is more animal-like, and he can't speak normally. In the Japanese dub, he can only say the word gama. In the English dub, this was replaced with 'ribbit'.
On Virtual Pets[]
Tamagotchi On[]
Gamanosuke appears in the favorite animation for the Flying Disc item. He shows up with a group of tama pets to catch the flying disc the Tamagotchi throws.
In the Anime[]
Tamagotchi![]
Gamanosuke appears in the episode "Kikitchi's Ninja Training". He suddenly appears while Gozarutchi is sharing his lunch with Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, and Kikitchi, and this causes Kikitchi to panic and run away Gozarutchi explains to Mametchi and Kuchipatchi that Gamanosuke is his training partner, and that he's actually quite harmless. Kikitchi is scared on Gamanosuke for a while, and tries to run away from him. After Kikitchi falls from a great height, Gamanosuke catches him with his tongue and saves him from getting hurt. Kikitchi then discovers that Gamanosuke is actually quite friendly, and he is no longer afraid of him.
In "Tamagotchi Grand Prix! Fierce Race", Gozarutchi enters a race with him driving the car. However, they and other racers get taken out by a banana peel left on the track. In "Let's Train to Be Ninjas! De Gozaru", Gozarutchi tries calling Gamanosuke so Lovelitchi and Melodytchi can meet him, but he doesn't respond. He is later found to be sleeping inside a small pot and is accidentally awoken by everyone, causing him to grow back to normal size and destroy the building he was in.
When Mametchi and friends visit Gozarutchi's house in "Gozaru Village", they're happy to see Gamanosuke in the backyard and he excitedly greets them.
