In 1995, Wiz President Akihiro Yokoi and Bandai Takeichi And Masamune Yaki planned to make an electronic toy for middle school girls. In order to find new opportunities in the tide of bubble economy bursting.
The new toy name "Tamagotchi" is a newly coined composite word that is a combination of the Japanese "Tamago" (たまご) and "ウォッチ" (Watch, watch) in a very good way. As for Takuma Gezi, Brother Pool, Electronic Chicken and Electronic Pet Machine, it is a different name for this toy by players around the world after the product was listed.
Since it is a product for female students, it is natural to have a "kawaii" design. The appearance of "Takuma Gezi" is like a pet egg that is about to crack, and the 2-inch black-and-white LCD screen is dotted with a red, red, green and green pattern background, and the electronic pet will undergo a series of processes such as birth and growth on this screen, which looks quite cute.
Its gameplay is quite simple, it is operated by three buttons to take care of pets such as "feeding", "playing" and "cleaning", if properly raised, the life cycle of this pet will be effectively extended, and even up to three times of evolution...
Although it does not seem that the design and performance of this electronic pet is too technical, the concept of cute design and portable pets has deeply hit the hearts of the target group at that time.

Later, even the number of male players who are keen on this is quite considerable.
Six months after the official sale in Japan, Takuma Gezi began to enter the market outside the Japanese region, sweeping this boom across the developed regions of the world, more and more adults and teenagers also followed the "pit", and even formed a speculation of "price speculation", and the collection culture of related products gradually rose. Author: UCG Game Console Practical Technology Why are electronic pets all the rage? The author has interviewed some domestic players and also looked for foreign players to share their experiences.
For most children who lack rural life experience, the life of an only child makes them very eager to accompany, and by the way, to satisfy the control and sense of responsibility that has nowhere to rest.
And it is not easy for them to have a real pet, so the convenience of electronic pets is reflected. Takuma Songzi can not only be carried around at any time, but also does not have to work feeding and shoveling for them, except for the lack of convenient means of purchase and high prices, there is almost no big problem.
