Who Is Sekitoritchi?
Sekitoritchi is one of Tamagotchi’s oldest characters — the sumo wrestler debuted on the second generation of the original 1996 Tamagotchi in Japan, making it one of the few V3 adults with roots stretching back to the franchise’s very first year. The name comes from “sekitori,” the Japanese term for a sumo wrestler ranked juryo or above. The character’s official profile from a 1996 Japanese training guide: “They aim to become a yokozuna ranked sumo, but they hate training. Their favorite food isn’t chankonabe [the traditional sumo diet], but bavarois desserts. Since they don’t have any friends, they do self-taught dances when alone.”
On V3, Sekitoritchi is one of three even-gen Stubborn adults alongside Gozarutchi and Warusotchi. Its even-gen placement means Gen 1 won’t produce it; breed to Gen 2 first. The Stubborn tier requires the worst care on the device: sustained heavy neglect across both hunger and happiness/discipline during the teen stage.

How to Get Sekitoritchi on V3
Step 1 — Even generation only
Sekitoritchi requires an even generation. Complete Gen 1 and breed to Gen 2. Odd-gen Stubborn adults are Masktchi, Kurokotchi, and Megatchi.
Step 2 — Heavy neglect across both categories
The Stubborn tier requires sustained inattention across both physical (hunger) and mental (happiness/discipline) care during the teen stage. Miss calls of both types for 15+ minutes regularly — aim for 7+ total mistakes across both categories. Unlike Frail (hunger-heavy) or Naughty (happiness-heavy), Stubborn doesn’t reward any neglect type in particular; it requires broad inattention.
Step 3 — Random draw among Stubborn even-gen adults
With Stubborn care on an even generation, you’ll get one of: Sekitoritchi, Gozarutchi, or Warusotchi. Random 1-in-3 draw.
Stubborn Adult Evolution Line (V3 — Even Generation)
| Character | Care requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sekitoritchi ← you are here | Stubborn adult (heavy neglect, both categories) | Original 1996 Tamagotchi veteran; sumo design; loner personality |
| Gozarutchi | Stubborn adult (same requirements) | Ninja; anime main character-adjacent; cross-release veteran |
| Warusotchi | Stubborn adult (same requirements) | V3-exclusive; “bad” name; distinctive visual design |
Fun Facts
Sekitoritchi’s 1996 profile detail — that it secretly does self-taught dances alone because it has no friends — is one of the most quietly melancholy character descriptions in the original Tamagotchi lineup. The sumo career aspiration paired with hatred of training, and preferring desserts over the traditional sumo chankonabe diet, rounds out a character that is essentially a collection of endearing contradictions.
The North American 1997 Bandai description of the character (listed there as “Sumotchi”) noted: “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.” A different translation angle on the same character, and arguably funnier.

Who Should Raise Sekitoritchi?
Sekitoritchi is the historically richest of the three even-gen Stubborn adults, with roots in the very first year of Tamagotchi. Players interested in franchise history will find Sekitoritchi a meaningful dex entry. The sumo design is one of the more culturally specific concepts in the Connection era, and the 1996 personality lore (dancing alone, hating training, eating desserts instead of chankonabe) makes it one of the more fully realized bad-care characters in the franchise.
