Who Is Mimiyoritchi?
Mimiyoritchi is one of the Connection era’s V3-exclusive adults — it didn’t appear on V1 or V2 and is specific to the V3 roster. The name is a play on Japanese words: “mimiyori” means “welcome news” while “mimi” means “ears,” a double meaning referencing both the character’s large ears and its association with hearing interesting information. The character appears pink with light pink cheeks, a red hat (which may be ears), and small black eyes.
Mimiyoritchi sits in the Naughty tier for odd generations, meaning it results from mental neglect during the teen stage: missing happiness or discipline calls more than hunger calls. Of the three Naughty odd-gen adults on V3, Mimiyoritchi is the most exclusive — it doesn’t appear on earlier Connection devices and has limited presence in later releases, making it primarily a V3-specific character.

How to Get Mimiyoritchi on V3
Step 1 — Odd generation only
Mimiyoritchi is available on odd generations: Gen 1, 3, 5, and so on. Even-generation Naughty adults are Pipotchi, Dorotchi, and Bill.
Step 2 — Mental neglect during teen stage
The Naughty tier requires more mental mistakes than physical mistakes during the teen stage. This means missing happiness and discipline calls for 15+ minutes more frequently than missing hunger calls. The device tracks these separately — a pattern of happiness/discipline neglect tips you into Naughty rather than Normal or Frail territory.
- Respond to hunger calls relatively promptly
- Let happiness and discipline calls go unanswered more often (15+ minutes)
- Aim for 5+ mental mistakes vs. 2–3 physical mistakes during the teen stage
Step 3 — Random draw among Naughty odd-gen adults
With a Naughty teen stage on an odd generation, you’ll get one of: Mimiyoritchi, Tarakotchi, or Paparatchi. All three require identical care. The draw is random — 1 in 3 for Mimiyoritchi.
Naughty Adult Evolution Line (V3 — Odd Generation)
| Character | Care requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mimiyoritchi ← you are here | Naughty adult (mental neglect > physical neglect) | V3-exclusive; large ears; pun name (mimi = ears / welcome news) |
| Tarakotchi | Naughty adult (same requirements) | Skateboard-obsessed; franchise veteran; appears on V1–V4 |
| Paparatchi | Naughty adult (same requirements) | Camera-toting paparazzi; also on V3 and later releases |
Fun Facts
Mimiyoritchi’s V3 exclusivity makes it one of the more interesting characters for collectors. While Tarakotchi and Paparatchi both appear across multiple Tamagotchi releases, Mimiyoritchi is primarily a V3 character — players who only ran V1 or V2 never encountered it, and it doesn’t appear with the same frequency in later Japanese releases. This makes Mimiyoritchi a distinctly V3-era character in a way that few adults on the device truly are.
The ear-based name pun (mimi = ears, mimiyori = welcome news) is a compact example of how Tamagotchi character names often embedded Japanese wordplay that didn’t translate to Western releases. Western players got the character with no explanation of the name, while Japanese players immediately understood the double meaning from the katakana.
Food Preferences
| Category | Details |

| Favorite food | Melons — feeding grants 4 happy hearts |
| Disliked food | Sausages — offering the disliked food lowers happiness |
Personality & Raising Tips
Getting Mimiyoritchi requires the same mental-neglect pattern as Tarakotchi and Paparatchi, and maintaining it afterward is identical to any other adult: 30-minute hunger/happiness rhythm, weight management, prompt discipline responses. The V3-exclusive status doesn’t add any maintenance complexity once you have the character.
Because all three Naughty odd-gen adults require identical care, Mimiyoritchi is best obtained through repeated Naughty-pattern odd-generation runs, accepting that each run has a 1-in-3 chance of producing the character you want.
Who Should Raise Mimiyoritchi?
Mimiyoritchi is the most niche target of the three Naughty odd-gen adults — it has the least cross-release presence, which means less prior exposure for most players but more novelty for those deliberately completing V3 dex coverage. Completionists and V3-specifically interested players are the natural audience. For casual players, Tarakotchi or Paparatchi from the same tier are equivalent mechanically and more recognizable.
