Happyburgertchi (ハッピーバーガーっち Happībāgātchi), formerly known as Makdotchi or McDotchi (マクドっち Makudotchi), is a Tamagotchi who debuted in the Tamagotchi Original Animations as a cross-promotional character made for the McDonald's collab.
On virtual pets, he debuted in Japan on the Tamagotchi iD with the signature "M" on his hat--though, it was later removed in the Tamagotchi! anime when the tie-in with McDonald's ended, and it was not present on his next appearance being the Tamagotchi On, which also happened to be his international debut.
Name Origin[]
Makdotchi and McDotchi come from the colloquial shortened term for McDonald's in Japan, which is makudo (マクド) or "McDo".
Happyburgertchi comes from the English words "Happy" and "Burger", possibly as a reference to Happy Meals from McDonald's.
Appearance[]
Happyburgertchi's body resembles a large cheeseburger, with two large, brown eyes and sesame seed freckles on the top bun. He has two small, yellow arms and round, yellow feet. He wears a round, red hat. Prior to his design change, the hat had the McDonald's logo on it.
Personality[]
Happyburgertchi manages a burger restaurant at Tama Street. He is passionate and dedicated to burgers; when his passion runs high, the cheese on his body starts to melt. Even though he himself resembles a burger, they are also his favorite food to eat.
