Who Is Gozarutchi?
Gozarutchi is Tamagotchi’s resident ninja. The character is defined by a black outfit, a secretive personality, and an obsession with stealth and surveillance — Gozarutchi is always watching, always hiding, always convinced that the next spy mission is just around the corner. It’s one of the most memorable character concepts in the Connection era, and Gozarutchi has maintained a presence across multiple Tamagotchi generations as a result.
On V1–V3, Gozarutchi is the Stubborn even-gen adult — meaning it’s the worst-care outcome for players on an even generation. Like all Stubborn adults, Gozarutchi lives a short life (4–6 days) and requires sustained neglect across both hunger and happiness to obtain. Its even-gen Stubborn companions are Warusotchi and Sekitoritchi. The character is one of the most recognizable “bad care” Tamagotchis, partly because the ninja concept makes it feel more intentional than accidental — players who discover Gozarutchi by accident often deliberately target it afterward.

How to Get Gozarutchi on V3
Step 1 — Even generation only
Gozarutchi is only available on even generations: Gen 2, 4, 6, and so on. You must complete at least one generation (Gen 1) and breed the adult to access Gen 2. Odd-generation Stubborn adults are Masktchi, Kurokotchi, and Megatchi — no Gozarutchi on Gen 1.
Step 2 — Complete Gen 1 to unlock Gen 2
To reach an even generation, your Gen 1 adult must reach the marriage event (20+ days or when the matchmaker appears) and produce an egg. The resulting Gen 2 egg gives you an even-generation toddler to raise toward Gozarutchi. The quality of your Gen 1 parent influences the toddler type you start with in Gen 2, but doesn’t affect which Stubborn adult you can get — all even-gen Stubborn adults remain accessible regardless of parent quality.
Step 3 — Accumulate heavy neglect during teen stage
The Stubborn tier requires sustained, broad neglect across both physical (hunger) and mental (happiness/discipline) care during the teen stage:
- Miss hunger calls for 15+ minutes regularly
- Miss happiness and discipline calls for 15+ minutes regularly
- Aim for 7+ total mistakes across both categories
Unlike Frail (hunger-skewed) or Naughty (happiness-skewed), Stubborn doesn’t reward specialization in one type of neglect — it requires neglect across the board.
Step 4 — Random draw among Stubborn even-gen adults
With a Stubborn teen stage on an even generation, you’ll get one of: Gozarutchi, Warusotchi, or Sekitoritchi. The draw is random — 1 in 3 for Gozarutchi specifically.
Stubborn Adult Evolution Line (V3 — Even Generation)
| Character | Care requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gozarutchi ← you are here | Stubborn adult (heavy neglect, both categories) | Ninja design; stealth/spy lore; long franchise history |
| Warusotchi | Stubborn adult (same requirements) | “Warui” = bad/evil in Japanese; classic bad-care character |
| Sekitoritchi | Stubborn adult (same requirements) | Sumo-inspired design |
Fun Facts
Gozarutchi’s name comes from “gozaru,” an archaic Japanese verb form used in fictional portrayals of ninja and samurai speech — a direct reference to the character’s ninja identity that works in the original Japanese but is largely invisible to Western players. It’s a small example of how the Tamagotchi franchise embedded Japanese cultural references into character names throughout the Connection era.
Gozarutchi appears in the Tamagotchi anime as a recurring character — one of the few Stubborn-tier adults from the Connection era to receive meaningful screen time in the show. The anime portrays Gozarutchi as genuinely committed to its ninja lifestyle, which gave the character more personality than most V3 adults received from official media.
Across subsequent Tamagotchi generations (Tamagotchi Plus Color, Tamagotchi iD, and later releases), Gozarutchi returned repeatedly — one of the longer-running character presences for a bad-care adult in the franchise. This distinguishes it from many Connection-era one-off characters who didn’t survive into later device generations.

Personality & Raising Tips
Getting Gozarutchi requires an even generation (play through Gen 1 first) and then consistent neglect during the Gen 2 teen stage. The even-gen requirement means you can’t target Gozarutchi on your first run — you need at least one full generation cycle first. Once you have Gen 2 and a Stubborn teen, the adult appears quickly and lives only 4–6 days before the matchmaker arrives for the next generation.
If you find yourself getting Naughty even-gen adults (Pipotchi, Dorotchi, Bill) instead of Stubborn, your neglect is happiness/discipline skewed rather than broad. Add more hunger misses. If you’re getting Frail even-gen adults (Androtchi, Teketchi, Wooltchi), add more happiness/discipline misses.
Who Should Raise Gozarutchi?
Gozarutchi is the target for players who want the even-gen Stubborn character specifically, anime fans who know the character from the show, or dex collectors working through the even-generation pool. The ninja design is widely appealing even to players who weren’t deliberately targeting it — many first-time Gozarutchi owners got it by accident and immediately wanted to run it again intentionally.
How Gozarutchi Compares
Among even-gen Stubborn adults, Gozarutchi has the strongest franchise footprint and most developed lore. It’s statistically identical to Warusotchi and Sekitoritchi in terms of care requirements and lifespan — the only differences are aesthetic and lore-based. Compared to even-gen Serious adults (Mimitchi, Decotchi, Chomametchi), Gozarutchi requires opposite care quality and lives about half as long.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get Gozarutchi on Gen 1?
No. Gozarutchi is an even-generation adult. You must complete Gen 1 and breed to Gen 2 (or higher even generation) before Gozarutchi is accessible.
How do I get to Gen 2 faster?
The matchmaker appears around day 7–10 of adult life (varies by tier and version). Serious-tier adults tend to take longer before the matchmaker arrives; Stubborn adults arrive earlier due to shorter lifespan. Once the matchmaker pairs your Gen 1 adult, you’ll get an egg immediately, which hatches into a Gen 2 toddler.
Is Gozarutchi in the 2024 Connection rerelease?
Yes, as a Stubborn even-gen adult with the same requirements as V3.
