Description
Omocchama, also known as Omotchama or Robbie Robbie in certain regions, is a small dice-shaped robot built by Gan-chan. He serves as the official mascot for Gan-chan's father's toyshop and acts as a dedicated sidekick to the heroic duo Gan-chan and Ai-chan. His duties extend to announcing episode titles and narrating next-episode previews.
His personality exhibits childishness and occasional cheekiness, showing strong commitment to fighting crime while supporting his companions. He often questions Gan-chan and Ai-chan's actions and playfully teases them about their romance. A distinct verbal trait is his habit of adding "koron" to sentences, which explains the consistent appearance of this phrase in episode titles during his narrations.
Physically, Omocchama possesses a face made of three cogs: two grey ones for eyes and a red one for a mouth. His design allows him to retract his limbs and head. He flies using a propeller but is notably fragile, frequently knocked over by minor impacts – especially during the Yatterman victory pose when the Yatter-Mecha often topples him. He relies on batteries requiring periodic recharging, primarily affecting his propeller function.
In the original series, Omocchama discovers the Dorombo gang's pursuit of the Dokuro Stone and spies on their activities. He sometimes exposes their scams, though his interventions can unintentionally escalate dangers. His methods for selecting Yatter-Mechas evolve: starting in episode 58, he rolls like a die (1-2: Yatter-Wan/King, 3-4: Yatter-Pelican, 5-6: Yatter-Ankou). Between episodes 58 and 80, he uses a Musical Chairs game with the Janken Trio, robot girls representing mechas through rock-paper-scissors symbols. For roughly ten subsequent episodes, he employs a Miai Duck robot walking paths to mecha-symbolizing doors, later abandoning this for direct selections like Yatter-Yokuzuna.
Within the *Royal Revival* OVA, Omocchama overhears the Dorombo gang plotting and tries to warn the now-married Yatterman duo on their honeymoon. His efforts face delays due to their preoccupation, and he suffers mishaps including being crushed by Jun the Swan.
Across video games, Omocchama appears as an enemy in Banpresto shoot-em-ups and acts as an informant spying on the Dorombo gang in *Bokan GoGoGo!*. In *Tatsunoko vs. Capcom*, he appears in the Yatterman Workshop stage background, cheering during fights and chasing off spy Odate Buta. In *Ultimate All-Stars*, Ai-chan summons him to assist in attacks; if present during her victory, he performs the Yatterman pose. A 2023 NFT game collaboration, *EGGRYPTO*, featured him as a ★4 monster in a limited-time gacha event.
