Hapihapineko (ハピハピっち Hapihapineko) is a female Tama Pet who belongs to the Mame Family. Hapihapineko debuted in the second Tamagoneko movie, Tamagoneko: The Happiest Story in the Universe!. Her first virtual pet appearance was on the Tamagoneko Plus Color, but her first appearace as an ownable Tama Pet was on the Tamagoneko iD L.

Appearance
Hapihapineko resembles an animal 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 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 she gives Telelin rides in the sky. She 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, and 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.

Speech Habits
Hapihapineko is known to make a high-pitched howling/barking sound, "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.

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, many things went wrong; Chamameneko was carrying a tray with cups of pink lemonade while Bagubaguneko was chasing a caterpillar, and a feather landed on Kuchipaneko's nose. Kuchipaneko sneezed just as Chamameneko tripped over the caterpillar; everything went tumbling into the bubble-like orb which contained the "Happy". The pink lemonade turned the "Happy" pink, the feather turned it fluffy, and the caterpillar made it come to life. Mameneko decided to call his creature "Hapihapineko" instead so that it would have a Tamagoneko name. 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 depression. These events cause Mameneko to realize that you can't force people to be happy, and decides Hapihapinek should stop using her powers. She still uses them more later on in the movie in a desparate attempt to help Kikineko and finally make him happy.

OVAs
Hapihapineko appears in two Tamagoneko OVAs, where Mameneko, Memeneko, Kuchipaneko, Violeneko, Chamameneko, Kikineko and she are best friends. In the Tamagoneko OVAs, the viewer follows Mameneko's diary where he divulges information about small events that happen in his life.

Series
In the Tamagotchi 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, Imoneko, and Chamameneko on their adventures.

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.

But 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, without using her power. Her happy heart on her head still works though, and helps her find those in need.

In the Tamagoneko! episode Hapihapineko Helps Out! finds Tamagonekos that are in trouble. The main Tamagoneko she helps is Windineko, who is lost and must get back to her brother, Whirlneko.
