Zuccitchi (ズキっち Zukitchi) is an adult character that debuted on the second generation of the original Tamagotchi.
Name Origin[]
Zuccitchi's name comes from「頭巾」(zukin, hood), referring to his mask. His US name is likely a mutation of "zucchini", referring to the shape of his ears.
Appearance[]
Zuccitchi has a round body with four legs and wears a navy blue cowl over his head, obscuring his face. The cowl has two long ears and two eye holes. His Japanese design gives him a tan body and round eyes, while the US design has a green body, square eyes and tube-like ears. On the Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. app, his cowl can be also be pink or yellow.
While he is rarely seen without his cowl, some art exists of him facing away with the cowl removed. He has similar hair to Oyajitchi, being partially bald, though he lacks facial hair. The relation between the two is hinted at again in Anime TV de Hakken!! Tamagotchi, when an Oyajitchi appears briefly among a pile of Zuccitchi cowls.
One strip of Manga de Hakken! Tamagotch shows Zuccitchi getting his cowl removed, showing Oyajitchi underneath, though it turns out to just be a dream.
Personality[]
Zuccitchi has a rude and sometimes unpleasant personality along with an ego. He dreams of becoming a champion of justice, though he is stated to act more like a villain. In Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchi Osucchi to Mesucchi, he is even depicted within a small cameo as having a wanted poster. It is stated he has a special technique of jumping 2 meters and biting to attack. His favorite food is shaved ice, though usually he gets some sort of brain freeze from it.
Zuccitchi has a habit of sleeping with his eyes partially open. This is best seen in his appearances in several video games such as Sega Saturn de Hakken!! Tamagotchi Park, where he will occasionally shut his eyes fully while blinking.

| "How come your pet loves cafe mocha (which explains why it's a bit on the hyperactive side)? Perhaps it wasn't disciplined enough as a toddler? And though Zukitchi looks comical, it can be mean. It also wants to be a superhero (too much caffeine?)." - Tamagotchi Pet Care Guide and Record Book (USA, 1997) |
| "This four-legged Tamagotchi likes to pretend that it's the superhero Zukin ("masked man"), but it sometimes acts like a villain, too." - Nintendo Power guide to Tamagotchi Game Boy (USA, 1997) |
| "A strange new adult. Their special technique is to fly 2 meters and bite. Personality is a little bit irritable. - Hoshi de Hakken!! Tamagotchi (JP, 1998) |

On Virtual Pets[]
Tamagotchi (Generation 2)[]
Like Maskutchi, Zuccitchi is an average care adult obtained from Tongaritchi. It loses a hungry and happy heart about every hour after evolution. If it had any Discipline before evolution, it will have 0% Discipline upon evolving. Zuccitchi wakes at 11 AM, sleeps at 11 PM, and has a base weight of 30. It has a maximum lifespan of 15-16 days on the original release and 19-20 days on the re-release.
Zuccitchi can evolve further into the secret character on all three versions - Sekitoritchi on the Japanese version 1, Charitchi on the Japanese version 2, and Zatchi on international editions. This can only be done if it evolved from a Tongaritchi that began with 0% Discipline, meaning it must have had 50% or less as Tonmarutchi. After evolving into Zuccitchi, it must be given good to perfect care, with no care mistakes. Once the proper conditions are met, it will evolve between the ages of 9 and 12. On the 2018 English replica, any Zuccitchi raised from any method may evolve into Zatchi by the age of 18 if good care is maintained and the Discipline meter is filled.
Tamagotchi Connection Version 2[]
Zuccitchi appears on even generations as one of the worst care adults.
In Tamagotchi Media[]
Tamagotchi Video Adventures[]
During the expedition to Earth, Zuccitchi pairs up with Kuchipatchi. The two of them visit a golf course, playing a perfect game of golf together and bring the golfing equipment back to the UFO. The two also laugh at Maskutchi when he shows up with the popsicle stick.
Previously, the two had been to the planet Velcro where they obtained a sample of plant life.
Anime TV de Hakken!! Tamagotchi[]
In the 7th episode, Mimitchi, Takotchi and Hashizoutchi try to find out what Zuccitchi looks like without the cowl. However, they discover that only Zuccitchi can remove it; if anyone else attempts, a new one quickly fades into existence on its head.
In the 6th episode, Zuccitchi and Kusatchi tease Pochitchi by tricking him into acting and playing around like a dog.
Tamagotchi Honto no Hanashi[]
Zuccitchi is first seen eating shaved ice at the beach, only to get a sudden urge to poop. He attempts to go to the toilet but finds out it's being occupied by Mimitchi. He then poops as he couldn't hold it anymore. Zuccitchi is seen a few moments later laughing at Oyajitchi having poop on his head.
In Games[]
Tamagotchi (GB)[]
Zuccitchi appears as an obtainable adult who evolves from Tamatchi if its stress is under 40, selfishness is higher than 3 points and strength is greater than IQ. After some time, Zuccitchi can further evolve into either Sekitoritchi with good care or Oyajitchi with bad care on Japanese copies, or Bill on international copies regardless of care.
Tamagotchi CD-ROM[]
In the opening video, Zuccitchi is shown piloting a UFO to Earth with Maskutchi. The two get into a fight over who should clean the ship's cabin, leaving nobody at the controls and sending the UFO falling to Earth. They stop the ship just in time and leave an egg to explore the planet.
Zuccitchi's place on the growth chart was swapped with Pochitchi's - as a result, while it can still only evolve from Tongaritchi, it must receive good care rather than average care, and it cannot evolve into Zatchi.

| Went home |
| "Hi. You know why I wear a mask? To protect my secret identity. Someday, I will become a super hero, dedicated to making the world a safe, crime-free, all-around cool place! Or at least that's what I like to imagine. Keep on imagining!" |
| "Hello. Someday I will be a super hero! I will use my super-powers to defeat the forces of evil! What are my super-powers, you ask? Um...well...I can jump high and bite. Besides, I wear a mask! I must be a super hero!" |
| "Hey you. You did a pretty good job raising me. I bet you knew all along that I'd protect you in the future when I become a super hero. That's why you fed me and played with me and all that stuff. Thanks kid. I like you too." |
| "Hello there. I have blasted off through hyperspace. I will soon rid the galaxy of evil-doers. I will seek out villains and stop them! And I will eat all the cotton candy I want! Thanks for taking care of me." |
| "Hi. While I was poking around outside, an over-zealous rooster challenged me to a fight. Imagine, me fighting a rooster. I realized that as the higher life form I should give in and leave earth. So good-bye." |
| Sent home |
| "Since you sent me away, you must be in league with my evil enemies! But I will defeat you! I will come back...somehow. And then I'll...I'll...I'll unplug your computer!" |
| "Now you've done it! You've sent home the only super hero who could save the Earth! Well, except maybe for Superman! But he's way over-rated, in my opinion. I mean, a little Kryptonite, and he's toast!" |
| "It's good that you sent me home because this gives me more opportunities to be a super hero! I mean, your computer had a few bugs in it, but no super-villains at all! This is much better!" |
Sega Saturn de Hakken!! Tamagotchi Park[]
Zuccitchi evolves from both Type One and Type Two Tongaritchi with good care and at least one discipline mistake. Upon evolution, the discipline meter will go back to being completely empty. Any Zuccitchi who were born after the death of the first Zuccitchi raised on a save file will be capable of evolving into Sekitoritchi around age 9 with good care and minimal discipline mistakes.
Other Forms[]
Devil Zuccitchi[]
- Main article: Devil Zuccitchi
Devil Zuccitchi is a devil form of Zuccitchi that appears on the Debirutch no Tamagotch. It is actually quite shy and often hides beneath its cowl. Because of this timid personality, it's weak to the temptation of the angels.
