Lucky Unchi-Kun (ラッキーウンチくん) is a Special Angel character that debuted on the Tamagotchi Angel.
Name Origin
Lucky Unchi-Kun's name is a combination of the English word "Lucky", the Japanese word "Unchi", meaning poop, and "kun", an honorific usually used for males. Thus, his name can be interpreted literally as "Mr. Lucky Poop".
Appearance
Lucky Unchi-Kun resembles a large, gold, sparkling poop. Depending on the method of obtaining him, Lucky Unchi-Kun may or may not have a face. On the Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. Angel app, he may also be blue or pink.
Personality
An unusual and rare Angel. It is said to be formed out of droppings from the Tamagotchi Angels and stardust. Even though it is poop, it still acts alive and eats and sleeps. It is a legend that anyone who sees one will get good luck. As it has no legs, it instead rides around the Tenshitchi Capital on a small cloud.

Tamagotchi Angel
Lucky Unchi-Kun is a special-stage character with two variations:
Faceless Variation
The user must first obtain Takotchi Angel, and have it evolve into any of the three adults. The character should die without evolving which can be accomplished either by making it sick three times, or by making a certain of care mistakes to prevent evolution (3 for Chubby Angel, 4 for Tarakotchi Angel, 5 for Oyajitchi Angel). If the same adult is obtained on the next generation and again dies without evolving, it will become Lucky Unchi-Kun on death regardless of how it was cared for. This variant is faceless, acts identically to the good end Death screen instead of a character and as such cannot be raised.
Variation With a Face
This variant has a face and can be raised as a standard Tamagotchi character. Lucky Unchi-Kun sleeps from 10pm to 8am and its AP maxes out at 90.
Two methods exist to raise Lucky Unchi-Kun with a face:
- Either raise the faceless variant of Lucky Unchi-Kun, then press A+C to raise a new Angel, or
- Hold the A button when the device is powered on or reset and it will enter a display test mode. Pressing buttons in this mode will advance it through different screens and eventually progress to the normal grave or UFO screen. Ensure the device is muted when the Angel hatches.
If either of these conditions is met, Marutchi Angel will always evolve into Tamatchi Angel regardless of care, and the user must raise Ginjirotchi Angel and obtain a good end.
Upon pressing A+C to raise a new Angel, the resulting Ghost Jr will not evolve into Marutchi Angel after one hour and instead will require care on par with an adult-stage character. This variant of Ghost Jr sleeps from 11pm to 10am, prays, take strolls, and has a max AP of 90 instead of 30. After about 5 days (assuming no pausing), if 0-4 care mistakes are made during this time, it will evolve into Lucky Unchi-Kun.
For both methods, all progress will be lost if the user resets the device, removes the batteries or obtains a different character.

Tamagotchi Official Shorts
In "Spice Things Up!" Lucky Unchi-Kun, Chestnut Angel, and Chubby Angel take Kuchipatchi up after he dies from eating badly made food and not making it to the bathroom in time. However, it's later shown that he survived and only made a lot of poop.
In Video Games
Sega Saturn de Hakken! Tamagotchi Park
If the same adult Angel is raised twice in a row, the next Obaketchi spawned has a chance of being eligible to become Lucky Unchi-Kun once it is "hatched" and transforms into Ghost Jr. They occupy a separate section on the History Hall's Angel growth chart, and an eligible Ghost Jr will evolve after several days.
Tamagotchi Town
Every day, there is a random chance that every Tamatchi Angel and Takotchi Angel that evolves with zero stress will evolve into Lucky Unchi-kun instead of Chestnut Angel. This chance is determined either at birth or when a Marutchi Angel evolves into its teenage form.

Trivia
- Prior to Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. Tap and Hatch, no official artwork was shown of Lucky Unchi-Kun.
- Unlike the other angel characters, Lucky Unchi-Kun retains its original Japanese name on the American version.
- Lucky Unchi-Kun is one of the only two characters on the Tamagotchi Angel to not have a halo, alongside Shogun Angel.
- This character may have been inspired by how golden poop is a symbol of good luck in Japanese popular culture. This started because the word for poop (unchi or unko) starts with "un", which is the Japanese term for luck.
