Appearance[]
Kikitchi's behind.
Kikitchi resembles a baboon. His body is yellow, and his face is cream-colored. He has round ears, oval-shaped eyes, pink cheeks, and a cat-like mouth. He also has a pink heart shape on his rear like a baboon does. He wears a red scarf.
Personality[]
Kikitchi is often very stubborn, self-centered, and only listens to himself. He got this way after being bullied a lot as a child because of what he often heard with his big ears. No one would believe what he heard and would scold him for lying which left him without any friends. Kikitchi's parents were also very busy in running Celebria so they could not be around when he needed company. As a result, Kikitchi became bitter and rejected any attempts at friendship in fear of being bullied again.
However, Mametchi and friends manage to befriend him and show that they trust what he hears and care for him. Kikitchi's parents also promised to spend more time with him after seeing how their absence affected him. Thus, Kikitchi became more friendly though he still sometimes acts self-centered, saying what's on his mind without thinking how rude it sounds. His best friends are Chamametchi, Hapihapitchi and Imotchi, but sometimes he fights with Hapihapitchi. He also looks up to and admires Gozarutchi, even calling him "master". He became a very good skateboarder after Kuromametchi helped him too and may look up to him.
Kikitchi has phasmophobia, also known as a phobia of the paranormal world. He does not like scary stories and after hearing them from his friends, he became very paranoid of suspicious noises and shadows. In one episode, Kikitchi tries to conquer this fear by going into a scary forest at night with his friends. Kikitchi also has great athletic ability, being able to jump very high and from place to place in a short amount of time. He loves bananas very much, similar to a monkey.
Kikitchi often uses the words dashi (だし) and desho (でしょ) at the end of every sentence. He sometimes uses the word nawake or na wake (なわけ) when asking a question.

Tamagotchi: Happiest Story in the Universe![]
Kikitchi getting angry over being forced to be happy
When the Magical Flying Library Ship visits Tamagotchi School to allow the children to have adventures in its magical storybooks, Kikitchi is seen being unimpressed by the stories. Mametchi notices this and gets an idea to invent something that will allow him to share his happiness with Kikitchi so he won't feel bad. He ends up creating Hapihapitchi who has the power to absorb happiness and give it to others.
The next day, Mametchi and friends encounter Kikitchi at Celebria and invite him to join them, but he runs away. After a chase through Celebria, Hapihapitchi uses her happiness power on him, but it doesn't work. Kikitchi becomes angry and snaps at Hapihapitchi, saying that she can't force people to be happy and that her power is nonsense. Later at night, Kikitchi remembers an early childhood memory. On the day before a big festival, Kikitchi heard a tree saying that it would rain the next day. When he tells the nearby children of this, they gang up on him and call him a liar as they didn't hear the tree's voice and don't want the festival to be canceled.
The Magical Flying Library Ship visits again the next day and Kikitchi hears a faint voice calling for help. He looks for the source and runs into Mametchi and friends who are also looking for the source of unhappiness Hapihapitchi sensed. The source is revealed to be from a book titled World's Happiest Story and everyone jumps in to investigate. They discover that the story loops instead of ending and run into Happy, the story's protagonist. Happy rejects their help in finding the ending and Kikitchi notices how unhappy he is and relates to him. When everyone leaves the story, Kikitchi secretly takes the storybook home with him.
Kikitchi keeping Happy company
At home, Kikitchi jumps into the book to help Happy, but this causes a magical paper tornado to engulf Celebria, The tornado turns everyone caught in it into paper and it's explained that the book is unstable from having it's ending torn out. Mametchi and friends go back into the storybook to restore the ending and rescue Kikitchi who is keeping Happy company. They eventually figure out the true ending of the book and Kikitchi realizes that happiness comes from feeling connected to people. He recovers the magic crayon so Sister Otogitchi can write the missing ending back in and the full story is restored, making the paper tornado disappear. When everyone returns to Celebria, Kikitchi introduces his parents to his new friends as his parents promise to spend more time with him.
Tamagotchi Original Animations[]
Kikitchi is featured in "Mametchi's Picture Diary" where he spends the day with Mametchi and friends. At the amusement park Kikitchi tells everyone to ride the teacup ride because it's his favorite. He spins the cup so fast that everyone becomes dizzy and Violetchi notes that Kikitchi was scarier than the rides.
Tamagotchi![]
Kikitchi in awe of Gozarutchi
He goes on a traditional adventure with Chamametchi and Imotchi on Tamaween in "Go Go! Tama Adventure!". He manages to make Kuchipatchi angry by accusing him of never making it to Pumpkin Soup Lake which makes him try to scare him later in Pumpkin Forest. Kikitchi helps the girls get down a steep cliff and reach their destination.
In "Kikitchi Can't Sleep!", Chamametchi and Imotchi have a sleepover at his house and are amazed at how luxurious his home in Celebria is. At bedtime, they both tell scary stories and Kikitchi is frightened to the point of falling over and feeling anxious over suspicious noises and shadows.
Kikitchi undergoes ninja training in "Kikitchi's Ninja Training" with Gozarutchi, Mametchi, and Kuchipatchi. He is at first unimpressed by Gozarutchi, even going as far to call Gozarutchi "not a very good ninja". He soon comes to respect him after Gozarutchi rescues him from being trapped on a kite high in the air and asks him to teach him how to be a ninja, asking if he can call him "master". However, Gozarutchi is overwhelmed by his enthusiasm and hides from him instead. In "This is Pretend Management-dashi!", Kikitchi does all of Sebastiantchi's chores after he falls sick. He is overwhelmed doing all the chores so he calls Chamametchi and Imotchi over for help.
Chamametchi convinces Kikitchi to run for class representative in "Getting Heated! Class Committee Election" against Bokutchi who is being convinced by Imotchi to do the same thing. Kikitchi manages to get half of his class' support and is picked for the role by Mr. Turtlepedia, though this is due to him making his choice before Kikitchi and Bokutchi started campaigning. In "Fearful Kikitchi's Big Training!" Kikitchi becomes fed up with being too scared to go to the bathroom at night and decides to train himself to not be so fearful anymore. Sebastiantchi tasks him with finding a cave in Patchi Forest as night and he successfully finds it with Kodatchi's help. However, Kodatchi is revealed to be a ghost and Kikitchi becomes terrified again, to Sebastiantchi's annoyance.
Kikitchi tries to stand up to a gang stopping Tamagotchis from using a skate park in "Skateboarding Kikitchi's Extreme Training!". After spending time practicing by himself and listening to Kuromametchi's advice, Kikitchi challenges the gang to a skate off with the condition that they open up access to the park if he wins. Kikitchi successfully outskates the gang and they become friendly to him after he helps their leader up when they fell down.
In "The Mysterious Beginning of the Vanishing Tama-Hearts", Kikitchi races against Bokutchi, Atsuatsutchi, Sabusabutchi and wins. He races them again in "Fashion! The Best? Eggs of Style", but this time they are affected by the Eggification curse. He is baffled by the three's loss of desire to race and interest in counting their steps to the finish line instead. Kikitchi eventually falls to the curse and is returned to normal in "The Power of the Bond".
