Description
Mecha Mochimazzwi is the young prince of a distant southern tropical island, the royal figure from whom the talking bird Dera Mochimazzi originally journeyed. Mecha is physically depicted with mahogany skin, short black hair that reaches the neck, and turquoise or green eyes. He is short in stature and typically wears gold bracelets around his wrists and ankles, along with a shirt and shorts. His full name is revealed as Mecha Mochimazzi.
In terms of personality, Mecha is quiet and reserved, showing a composed demeanor befitting his royal status. He is not assertive or demanding; instead, he observes situations calmly before making decisions. His primary motivation is rooted in a sense of duty to his kingdom, as he is searching for a destined bride according to royal tradition. However, he does not push this search aggressively and instead listens to the advice of his servants, including Dera and the fortune teller Choi Mochimazzi.
Within the story, Mecha plays a supporting role, acting as the royal figure whose bride search sets part of the plot in motion. He first appears indirectly through Dera's mission and later makes personal appearances in the Usagiyama Shopping District. His arrival creates a period of uncertainty for Tamako Kitashirakawa, who is considered a potential candidate for his bride. Ultimately, Mecha respects Tamako's decision to remain in her home and does not pressure her, demonstrating an understanding and respectful nature. He appears in the television series, its specials, and the film Tamako Love Story.
Mecha's key relationships include his bond with Dera Mochimazzi, who serves as his loyal if sometimes clumsy attendant, and his connection to Choi Mochimazzi, a serious fortune teller also in his service. He maintains a formal but caring dynamic with both, trusting them to carry out his wishes. With Tamako, his interaction is brief but courteous, as he acknowledges her choice without resentment.
Notable abilities include the authority and resources of a prince, allowing him to communicate from his island through Dera's eye-projection capability. He displays no superhuman skills, but his position gives him a calm authority that influences the events of the story.
In terms of development, Mecha remains a consistent figure throughout the series. He does not undergo a major personal transformation, but his willingness to accept Tamako's refusal and return home demonstrates a quiet flexibility and lack of arrogance. His role reinforces the theme of valuing one's own home and happiness above grand destiny.
