Kusatchi (くさっち) is an adult Tamagotchi character that debuted on the Tamagotchi Generation 2.
Name Origin[]
Kusatchi's name comes from kusa, the Japanese word for "grass" or "weed". Kusa is also found in other terms that refer to other plants in general. For example, kusabana means "flowering plant".
Appearance[]
Kusatchi shares her facial appearance with Hashitamatchi, having a blue head with a yellow beak. She has a stem with two green leaves growing out the sides, and she appears to be sprouting from a brown flower pot. Some official artworks depict her wilting when she is sick or unhappy, hiding in her leaves when she is sleeping, and growing petals when she is happy.
On the Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. app, Kusatchi can also be pink, or brown with a pink beak and yellow leaves.
Personality[]
Because Kusatchi has plant-like traits, she can make her own chlorophyll to nourish herself when nobody else is around to feed her. However, this means she becomes unwell when the sun isn't out. Kusatchi hangs out with the other unhealthy Tamagotchis, listens to heavy metal music, and dances along to it all night. Despite her love for music, she is tone-deaf and cannot play any instruments either.
She is also said to be very vain.

| "Tamagotchis have finally started to evolve. This one decided to use photosynthesis to nourish itself because it couldn't eat very much, but sometimes it doesn't work very well. It doesn't like being touched, and feels unwell on cloudy days. Strangely, it is friends with bees. It seems to have many bows for going out, so it may be interested in fashion. It also loves music and rock (especially metal), but it's not good at any musical instruments. This is a secret, but apparently it has been suffering from athlete's foot lately." - Polygon de Hakken!! Tamagotchi (JP, 1997) |
| "This strange plant-like creature needs lots of sun (for photosynthesis) but just a little food. It likes to stay up all night and sleep during the day." - Nintendo Power guide to Tamagotchi Game Boy (USA, 1997) |
| "A new breed of adult who gets nourishment through photosynthesis because they are not allowed to eat much. They have an interest in fashion, but lately they've been plagued by water bugs." - Hoshi de Hakken!! Tamagotchi (JP, 1998) |
| “Likes heavy metal music and dancing all night long!” - McDonald’s Tamagotchi Toyz Happy Meal bag (USA, 1997) |
| "Is she growing by photosynthesis? She loves the light so much that I think so ♪" - Shirotama, Anniversary Party poll (JP, 2022) |
| "I love the light of the sun. It seems that the race is fast!" - Tamagotchi 25th Character Special book (JP, 2022) |

Tamagotchi Video Adventures[]
Kusatchi is part of the group of Tamagotchis sent to find an Earth artifact for the Tamagotchi Museum and is referred to as a male. He is partnered with Mametchi, and they argue over whether to bring back a cat (because it looks like Mametchi) or a potted flower (because it looks like Kusatchi). The cat ends up scaring them, so they bring back the flower instead.

Trivia[]
- On the online Tamatown for V3 and V4, there is a CD in The Tama Beat store in the Mall that has a Kusatchi on it.
- A misplacement on Bandai's original growth chart suggested that Kusatchi was the worst possible adult on the P2, and it was swapped with Takotchi. In actual fact, Kusatchi is the second unhealthiest adult and Takotchi is the unhealthiest. Kusatchi shares its animation patterns with Nyorotchi and as this video shows, taking care of Hashitamatchi the same way as a Kuchitamatchi would be to achieve Nyorotchi will result in an evolution to Kusatchi.
- Kusatchi won 8th place on the Tamagotchi 25th Anniversary Poll, the 1st place winner of which would be added to the Anniversary Party TamaSma Card's roster. She would later appear as a NPC with the other top ten poll winners on the card.
