Hapihapineko

**Hapihapineko** is a female Tama Pet who belongs to the Mame Family. She debuted in the second Tamagoneko animated movie, Tamagoneko: Happiest Story in the Universe!, and her first virtual pet appearance was on the Tamagoneko Plus Color, before debuting as a Tama Pet on the Tamagoneko iD L.

## Name Origin

Hapihapineko comes from a spelling of the English word "Happy", the feeling of contentment and pleasure.

## Appearance

Hapihapineko resembles an animal-like fairy. She somewhat has the appearance of a lamb or a puppy. She has two white wings, two swirly pink horn-like ears on the sides of her head, and a heart-shaped stalk on her head. She has white fur (with a light pink tint) and a pink collar. She has rounded bangs on her forehead. She has a little pink nose and pink cheeks. Her eyes are small and brown with low, tiny round highlights.

## Personality

Hapihapineko is a sweet, angelic tamagoneko that has a magic power to make anyone happy. Whenever she senses someone sad nearby, she will flutter over to them and do whatever she can to make them happy again.

Hapihapineko is a very popular Tama Pet, and is often called very cute. She is loved by both boy and girl Tamagonekos, because she makes them happier. She follows Chamameneko around and is also a friend of Telelin, sometimes giving Telelin rides in the sky. She also gets along well with other Tama Pets such as Puchiberineko. She's sweet, kind, caring, gentle and devoted to making sure that she helps make others happy by doing good deeds for others. She gets along really well with Chamameneko, but they sometimes get into fights on rare occasions. She has also argued with Kikineko in the anime. She adores sweets and is shown to have a love for baking, as shown in the episode "Pow! A Squabble Between Siblings?".

### Speech Habits

Hapihapineko is known to make a high-pitched howling/barking sound, "arf/aroo," after everything she says. This is also known as a happy puppy-like "wan" (ワン) bark in Japanese. Furthermore, she repeats phrases that other Tamagonekos say (usually Chamameneko or Princess Lovelin). In the original Japanese version of anime, she also speaks in the third person for herself, whereas she speaks in ordinary third person in the English dub. She often says *"happy happy"* when she is happy, such as when she was first created.

## In the Anime

### Tamagoneko: Happiest Story in the Universe

Hapihapineko was originally going to be an item, not a living creature, called "Happy".  However, when Mameneko was activating his creation a series of events caused various things to fall into his creation, leading to Hapihapineko's birth. Hapihapineko spends a lot of time bringing happiness to other Tamagonekos using her happy power.

At first everyone is delighted by this and Mameneko is proud, but soon people begin to rely solely on Hapihapineko to make them happy and refuse to deal with things themselves. Additionally, when Hapihapineko tries to make Kikineko happy, it doesn't work because of his cynicism. These events cause Mameneko to realize that Tamagoneko shouldn't be forced to be happy, and decide Hapihapineko should stop using her powers.

When Mameneko and friends go to rescue Kikineko from the World's Happiest Story book, Hapihapineko uses her happy powers to keep the book from falling apart while Happy tries to remember the end of the story. She ends up using her entire reserve of happiness which saves everyone, but causes her to lose her life energy. Mameneko begs everyone to be happy so Hapihapineko can take their happiness and live, but everyone is too upset by her dying. Luckily, Happy repays Hapihapineko for helping him remember the end of the story by giving her all his happiness.

### Tamagoneko Original Animations

Hapihapineko appears in two Tamagoneko OVA episodes. In "Mameneko's Picture Diary", she is seen hanging out with Mameneko and friends as they play together. The episode "Hapihapineko is Popular?!" follows Hapihapineko as she goes around making everyone's day better with her happiness power.

### Tamagoneko!

In the Tamagoneko anime series, Hapihapineko has become a part of the Mame Family and is treated more like a relative than a pet. She sleeps in Chamameneko's room and follows her around everywhere, sometimes sitting on her head. Like many characters, she is a huge fan of Lovelin. She sometimes joins Kikineko, Memeneko's sister Imoneko, and Chamameneko on their adventures.

She has a main role in "Hapihapineko Helps Out!" where she helps Windineko find her brother Whirlneko after she was blown away in a game of hide and seek. Along the way, she helps out other Tamagonekos with their problems.

In "Pow! A Squabble Between Siblings?" she gets in a fight with Chamameneko and runs away from home. She is later taken to Lovelineko's home after being found in the middle of the road, tired and hungry. Eventually, Chamameneko and Mameneko come over to pick her up and she fights with Chamameneko again, causing Mameneko to angrily tell them both off. It's then revealed that Chamameneko had brought two cakes to share with Hapihapineko. She apologizes for running away and hugs Chamameneko, saying that they should always stay together.

Hapihapineko teams up with Telelin in "Pink! Heart! Messengers-wan!" to help Tamagonekos by delivering messages between them. However, Telelin ends up overworking Hapihapineko and she quits their team. Telelin struggles to work by herself until Hapihapineko comes back to save her from incoming rain. Telelin then apologizes to Hapihapineko and the two continued to team up when delivering messages or searching for something such as in "Hurry to Find Memories! Lovelin Car".

In "Good Luck! Big Tama Pet Race", Hapihapineko enters a race with other tama pets. She initially has the advantage of flying and is able to fly over all the obstacles until a giant fly swatter smacks her back to the start line. She later catches up to the other pets, but is distracted by a barbecue Spacyneko cooks to keep everyone but Pipospeneko from reaching the finish line. When Kizunaneko is able to exist outside the Tama Profy in "Happy to Be Outside! Kizunaneko", one of the things she wants to do is fly with Hapihapineko. However, she eventually becomes tired and rides on Hapihapineko who is already carrying Telelin and Pashalin. Hapihapineko ends up returning to the TamaCafe exhausted from the weight.

In "The Last Tama-Mizuki" Hapihapineko gets into a fight with Chamameneko again after she accidentally flies into Harukazeneko and Chamameneko doesn't show concern towards for her. The two refuse to talk to each other until they eventually work together to restore the Tama-Mizuki tree. Hapihapineko admits she was wrong to think Chamameneko didn't care for her and apologizes.

At the end of "Shock! The Eggification Doesn't Stop" Hapihapineko is turned into an egg by the Eggification curse with the rest of the Mame family. She is returned to normal in "The Power of the Bond".

### Tamagoneko! Tamatomo Daishuu GO

Hapihapineko appears in some More! Tama Talk at the Earth sequences that occurred at the end of episodes.

### Eiga Tamagoneko: Himitsu no Otodoke Dai Sakusen!

Hapihapineko appears with Papamameneko and Mamameneko during the party scene in the credits sequence.

## Happy Power

When Hapihapineko sees a person who is tired or sad, she releases a pink glowing light which is happiness that she absorbs from people that are happy. This happiness also makes flowers bloom.

When Hapihapineko is near by someone who is sad, her heart on her head will turn blue and begin beeping. The only way to stop it, is to release some of her absorbed happiness on the person, which makes the person happy. However, when Hapihapineko runs out of happiness, the heart on the stalk on her head becomes dark blue and Hapihapineko will become very weak. The only way to save Hapihapineko is to put her in the hands of someone very happy.

Hapihapineko no longer uses her happy power, the reason why is because if Hapihapineko uses up all her happy power, she will die. She still helps people out to make them happy whenever someone needs it, doing so through other means. Her happy heart on her head still works though, and helps her find those in need.
