Tamamori (たまもり Tamamori) is the word used to describe insane, elaborate and themed fashion in the anime, Tamagotchi!.
Name Origin[]
Tama comes from Tamagotchi. Mori comes from a Japanese onomatopoeia, Morimori, which means full of zest. Moriritchi's name is also based on that word.
Kirakira Tamamori[]
It is similar, however, kirakira (キラキラ) means shiny or sparkling, which is also the word that Kiraritchi is based on.
Tamamori Features[]
Fashion[]
Tamamori fashion is normally used on the head of a Tamagotchi, and sometimes on the body too. On the head, accessories, hats, and random objects are used, and on rare occasions this can be scarily overdone. Most Tamamori clothing and accessories are worn on top of the clothing that the Tamagotchi is already wearing.
Each costume is typically based on one theme. Most Tamamori outfits are based on royal culture, food, magic, music, girly designs, and Japanese culture. For example, Lovelitchi's Tamamori outfit on the Tamamori girls image is based on a Bento picnic, a Japanese lunch box wrapped in a picnic cloth and eaten under a sakura tree. This demonstrated by the picnic cloth wrapped around her body and the food on her head.
Tamamori is a popular fad with female Tamagotchi characters, though male Tamagotchis are also seen wearing Tamamori outfits as well. Male Tamamori fashion is normally based around royal culture, food, and Japanese culture, and is not as glitzy and overdressed as the girls. The most common Tamamori item for a boy to wear on the head is a top hat, with objects on top, inside or coming out.
Tamamori Book[]
The Tamamori Book, also known as Moriritchi's Tamamori Sticker Book, is a book filled with Tamamori stickers. The stickers are of accessories and have a magical quality to them, being able to turn into actual accessories when picked off the page and thrown onto a Tamagotchi or object. Moriritchi uses her book to quickly dress up anyone and keeps the book with her to carry her Tamamori fashions anywhere she goes.
Tamamori Shop[]
The Tamamori Shop (たまもりショップ tamamori shoppu) is owned by Anemoriritchi and Moriritchi. This shop is found on Tama Street, and appears on the Tamagotchi iD L. This is where Tamagotchis go to get accessories, dresses, Tamamori Fashion, and Tamatomo Room Decorations.
Tamamo Room[]
The Tamamo Room (たまもルーム tamamo rūmu), also known as Tamamori room decorating, is another feature of the Tamamori Shop. Similar to decorating a dollhouse, Tamagotchis are able to decorate a life-sized room with furniture and use Tamamori stickers to accentuate the furniture. The furniture itself is lightweight like a plastic toy and is able to be easily carried by one Tamagotchi.
The Tamamori Shop allows Tamagotchis to decorate their own Tamamo Room. The Tamamo Room section is accessed by rotating a dial on a side wall of the shop which opens it up to reveal empty rooms.
Kirakira! Tamamori Heaven[]
- Main article: Kirakira! Tamamori Heaven (TAMAX-TV)
Kirakira! Tamamori Heaven (キラキラ!たまもり天国 kirakira! tamamori tengoku) is TAMAX-TV show that features in the anime Tamagotchi!. The show is a contest where contestants compete against each other and create their own Tamamori fashion to match the judge's given theme. There are typically three rounds and contestants may create Tamamori fashions for a Tamagotchi, object, or food. Judges will judge the entries for each round and contestants are eliminated until only one is left.
The two judges for the show are Don Paratchi and Maisutatchi though it sometimes changes to include other Tamagotchis. MC Puppetchi is also the commentator for the show and is usually joined by Moriritchi.
Kirakira Tamamori[]
Kirakira Tamamori (キラキラ たまもり), sometimes shortened to Kira2 Tamamori, is a variant of Tamamori fashion popular in Dream Town. The Tamamori stickers have sparkling glitter added to them and the type of fashion is utilized by Kiraritchi who creates the stickers.
Kirakira Tamamori Shop[]
The Kirakira Tamamori Shop is located around the center of Dream Town's flower bud. Kiraritchi lives and works at the store with her mother and her little sister Kiramotchi, making their own Kira Kira Tamamori accessories. On the Tamagotchi P's, the Kira Kira Tamamori shop serves as a clothing and accessories store for Tamagotchi characters. Once a Tamagotchi character has evolved to "friend stage", the store can be accessed in the door icon. Kiraritchi's mother works at the store on the Tamagotchi P's also.
Kirakira Tamamori Book[]
The Kirakira Tamamori book is owned Kiraritchi. It is magic with the ability to make the stickers enlarge, but instead, Kiraritchi's stickers have sparkles added to them.

Trivia[]
- In the original Tamagotchi! anime series, the Tamagotchi of the Day segment that would occur at the end of episodes was replaced with a segment where Moriritchi would show a character dressed in Tamamori fashion. This continued into Tamagotchi! Yume Kira Dream where Kiraritchi would do the same thing, but with her Kirakira Tamamori fashion.
- Certain Tamamori Seal Refills based on world countries, Lovelin, and Himespetchi were announced, but never made available to purchase. They were meant to be released before the airing of Tamagotchi! Yume Kira Dream.
