Who Is Kurokotchi?
Kurokotchi is a small, dark, round character whose name comes directly from the Japanese word kuro (黒), meaning “black.” It’s the embodiment of severe neglect across the board — appearing when a V3 Tamagotchi on an odd generation has racked up at least 7 care mistakes in both physical care (hunger) and mental care (happiness and discipline).
Despite its gloomy name and care origins, Kurokotchi has a stubborn, independent personality that’s earned it a certain charm among V3 players. It didn’t get much attention growing up, and it shows — this character has developed a tough exterior and doesn’t need much from you now. That said, it’ll still respond to care in adulthood, so don’t give up on it entirely.

How to Get Kurokotchi on V3
Step 1 — Play on an odd generation. Kurokotchi is only available on odd-numbered generations (1, 3, 5…).
Step 2 — Accumulate 7+ mistakes of both types. The Stubborn tier requires heavy neglect across the board — at least 7 physical care mistakes (missed hunger calls) AND at least 7 mental care mistakes (missed happiness or discipline calls) by the time your Tamagotchi reaches adulthood. This is the most neglected tier on V3 and takes consistent inattention to reach.
Step 3 — Accept the 1-in-3 draw. Stubborn odd-gen care produces one of three possible adults. Kurokotchi is one of them — roughly a 33% chance. The other Stubborn adults are equally valid outcomes for the same tier.
Evolution Line

| Teen | Various odd-gen teens | Continue high-neglect pattern on both care types |
| Adult | Kurokotchi | Stubborn tier, 1-in-3 draw |
Fun Facts
- Kurokotchi’s name literally means “black character” (kuro + tchi) — a straightforward description of its dark design.
- Kurokotchi is one of two Stubborn-tier odd-gen adults on V3, the other being Megatchi — both require the same high-neglect care path.
- Despite being a “neglect result,” Kurokotchi has fans who deliberately aim for it run after run — it’s a compact, expressive character with undeniable personality.

Personality & Raising Tips
Kurokotchi is stubborn and self-reliant in adulthood, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be cared for well. Standard adult care applies — keep hunger and happiness filled and respond to calls. Kurokotchi may be prickly in character, but in terms of mechanics it behaves like any other V3 adult.
Use popcorn liberally for happiness. Avoid bananas. Discipline when called — Kurokotchi won’t resist discipline calls any differently than other adults, it just didn’t benefit from much of it growing up.
Who Should Raise Kurokotchi?
Kurokotchi appears for players who were consistently unavailable across both hunger and happiness — perhaps leaving the device for long stretches during the day. If you’re running a deliberate Stubborn-tier playthrough, you’ll need to miss both types of calls repeatedly and consistently. It’s the most demanding neglect pattern to achieve intentionally on V3.
How Kurokotchi Compares
Kurokotchi and Megatchi share the same Stubborn odd-gen care requirements. The difference is in design philosophy: Kurokotchi is dark, round, and compact; Megatchi leans robotic. Both require 7+ mistakes of each care type and a 1-in-3 draw. Neither is “worse” than the other — they’re peers within the Stubborn tier.
FAQ
Is Kurokotchi really achievable intentionally?
Yes, but it takes effort. You need to ignore both hunger and happiness calls for 15+ minutes on enough occasions to rack up 7+ of each mistake type. Passive neglect over a longer playthrough is the most natural way to get there.
Does Kurokotchi live as long as other adults?
Stubborn-tier adults generally have slightly shorter lifespans on average than higher-tier adults, though in-game care during adulthood still influences longevity. Good adult care will extend its life.
What are the other Stubborn odd-gen adults?

Other Stubborn Adults (Odd Gen)
Kurokotchi shares the Stubborn odd-gen pool with Megatchi and Masktchi. All three require 7+ physical AND 7+ mental care mistakes on an odd generation.
