Gozarutchi (ござるっち Gozarutchi) is male adult Tamagotchi that first debuted on the Tamagotchi Connection and has since been a well-known character in the franchise. He is generally obtained from severely neglecting good or average care teens.
Name Origin
De gozaru (~でござる) is an archaic Japanese phrase spoken at the end of sentences, with a meaning equivalent to desu. It is associated with samurai, ninja, and the time period surrounding them, that being feudal Japan.
Appearance
Gozarutchi resembles a ninja. He wears a navy blue suit with two white stripes on the front in a "Y" shape. He is usually shown carrying a shuriken, also known as a ninja star. He has a small point on top of his head. His mouth is almost always nonvisible, for example, when he is speaking in the anime his mouth doesn't open. However, some of his sprite artwork shows his open mouth when he's eating.
Personality
Gozarutchi is very kind to others but can be quite hard on himself. His specialty is throwing ninja stars, and he hopes to someday be a ninja. He possesses many ninja abilities. Besides wanting to become a ninja, he is a bit lowbrow. According to his sister Kunoitchi, he actually has low blood pressure and is not a morning person. He lives in Gozaru Village. He adds "de gozaru" to the ends of his sentences.
He has a fond crush on Masktchi, while Violetchi has a crush on him. In the anime series, Kikitchi admires him and calls him master. He also has a habit of falling asleep when he's not supposed to, for example, right before class starts though this characterization is dropped in the Tamagotchi! anime series.
His profile on the Tamagotchi Pix website states: "Gozarutchi trains everyday to become a true Japanese ninja. He is kind to those around him though, he's strict with himself. He also likes to follow trends."
