Sekitoritchi (せきとりっち Sekitoritchi) is an adult-stage Tamagotchi who debuted on the second generation of the original Tamagotchi in Japan, and on the Tamagotchi Connection Version 3 internationally.
Name Origin[]
The word sekitori (せきとり) is the Japanese term for a sumo wrestler who is rank juryo or above. Its English name as seen in unused promotional material comes from the word "sumo".
Appearance[]
Sekitoritchi has a very human-like form, with a large balding head, chubby arms, and a wide torso - several of its sprites suggest that it has a large nose similar to a human's as well. It is also often depicted with visible nipples, a trait that is very rare among Tamagotchis. Its bottom portion is a mawashi (sumo wrestling belt), with the dangling strings either acting as its legs or completely obscuring them; though, there are several images of Sekitoritchi with the mawashi removed from many of the Tamagotchi manga illustrations, suggesting that they are indeed its legs.
Personality[]
This Tamagotchi is lean, mean, and is very good at fighting. It went into war when it was young, explaining why it acts stubborn and is rebellious. Despite aiming to be a master sumo wrestler, it hates physical training and sumo stew. It also has a secret passion for hula dancing.

| "The final figure -- what's this? A Sumo wrestler? Sumotchi doesn't eat nutritious food. He feasts on candy and vanilla pudding. Don't ask him about his legs! He will get quite upset." - Bandai America's page (US, 1997) |
| "The final form of the new species. Aiming for the yokozuna rank as a sumo. They hate training and chankonabe as they feel a struggle with their physical strength. They are thinking of changing jobs soon." - Hoshi de Hakken!! Tamagotchi (JP, 1998) |
| "He doesn't like sumo training and chankonabe. The gap with the appearance is amazing!" - Anniversary Party poll (JP, 2022) |
| "I want to be a yokozuna, but I don't like training and chankonabe." - Tamagotchi 25th Character Special book (JP, 2022) |
On Virtual Pets[]
Tamagotchi (Generation 2)[]
Sekitoritchi is a secret character on the first Japanese version. It is obtained from a Zuccitchi that was raised from a type two (3+ discipline mistakes) Tongaritchi. After 4 days of continued care or around age 9-10, it will evolve into Sekitoritchi. It wakes up at 9 AM, sleeps at 10 PM, and has a base weight of 30. Like Mimitchi, it has a longer life span than other adults.
On the second Japanese version, it is replaced with Charitchi. On international versions, it is replaced with Zatchi.
On the first wave of Japanese replicas released in 2017, any Zuccitchi raised from any method may evolve into Sekitoritchi by the age of 18 if good care is maintained and the Discipline meter is filled. From the second wave onwards, as well as for all international releases, Sekitoritchi is replaced with Zatchi.
