Mametchi loves to watch the Gotchiman show and is Gotchiman's biggest fan; he has met him a few times in person and has been motivation for Gotchiman to continue being a superhero. Tamagotchi Planet stores would sell Gotchiman merchandise such as posters, figures and stickers to promote him. The Gotchiman show always starts at 7:30AM and Mametchi created an invention so he would never miss it.
In the show, the villain is Black Hat who is always defeated by Gotchiman. Gotchiman does not have any super powers, but uses his gadgets and Gotchi Car to save the day. Not many people watch his show anymore due to seeing his acting as tacky; and as a result the ratings have gone down. Lovelin and Herotchi have made guest appearances to help with the show’s ratings, but people will only watch when Lovelin is featured. People generally don't think highly of him as seen in "In Hot Pursuit of Lovelin!" where fans are disappointed to receive his autograph instead of Lovelin's and when TamaPtchi yells at him just for asking a question about the script.
In "Gotchiman! Forever!", the show is canceled by TamaPtchi as ratings have hit an all time low and was set to be rebranded as Gotchigirl starring Hero Lovelin. After Gotchiman proves himself as a real hero by saving a bus from falling off a bridge, his popularity grew back and the show continued to air. When shooting a scene in "Telelin! To TAMAX-TV", he is accidentally hurt by Telelin when she causes him to crash into a ceiling. He later gets injured again jumping into a collapsing stage to rescue Telelin from danger after making sure Lovelin is safe.
In "The Spacy Brothers' Moving", Hero Lovelin calls him to destroy a monster house while filming a scene, not knowing Spacytchi and his brothers were inside. He teams up with Mametchi in "Tah-Dah! Opposing Program Quiz Battle" to compete in a quiz battle show. Despite TamaPtchi working to sabotage them, his team wins and Gotchiman gets the right to guest star in all of TAMAX-TV's shows for a week. This causes TamaPtchi and ADtchi to get bombarded with angry calls from viewers who don't want to see Gotchiman all over TV.
Gotchman stars as an image character for the Gotchi Droplets commercial in "Clean! Refreshing! Gotchi Droplets" where he did stunts to show how refreshing the drink can be after exertion. Unfortunately, he failed to do the stunts properly and Lovelin was edited in to cover up his shots.
