Tsuki’s Odyssey Characters: Who’s Who in Mushroom Village

One of my favorite things about Tsuki’s Odyssey is the cast of characters.

Mushroom Village isn’t huge, but its residents have very different personalities. Some are friendly immediately. Some take a little more patience. Others show up at strange times, sell you things, annoy their neighbors or give Tsuki opportunities to get into trouble.

If you’re trying to remember who everyone is, here’s a guide to the main Tsuki’s Odyssey characters you’ll meet around Mushroom Village.

If you’re completely new to the game, you may not see all of them right away. Tsuki’s Odyssey unlocks characters and locations gradually, so don’t worry if someone on this list hasn’t appeared in your game yet.

Tsuki

We should probably start with Tsuki himself.

Tsuki is the little white rabbit at the center of the game. He lives in his treehouse in Mushroom Village, grows carrots on his farm and spends his days doing whatever he feels like doing.

And that last part is important: Tsuki is not an avatar that you directly control.

You can send him to different locations, interact with characters, decorate his surroundings, fish and use different features of the game, but Tsuki also has his own routine. You might find him reading, eating, sleeping or interacting with something you placed in his house.

If you want a broader introduction to how all of this works, start with my main Tsuki’s Odyssey guide.

Chi

Chi is a giraffe and one of Tsuki’s closest friends.

She loves books and lives in a tall house filled with them. She can often be found reading, and books are a big part of her personality.

Chi also plays an important role right at the beginning of Odyssey. She was supposed to watch Tsuki’s house while he was away, but she fell asleep. When Tsuki returned, his furniture had been stolen.

Oops.

Fortunately, their friendship survives.

Your friendship with Chi can gradually increase as you talk to her. Eventually, you can unlock the ability to decorate her house, giving you another place to experiment with furniture.

Moca

Moca is Tsuki’s turtle friend.

He loves his bonsai tree, takes a great deal of pride in himself and can sometimes be a little difficult. That is also part of what makes his conversations entertaining.

Moca lives in his own house in Mushroom Village, and like Chi, he is one of the characters whose friendship level you can increase.

Build enough friendship with him and you can eventually decorate his house too.

If you ever see his name written as “Moka,” that’s a common mistake. In Tsuki’s Odyssey, it’s Moca.

Yori

Yori is a fox and the owner of Yori’s General Store.

You will probably see a lot of him because his shop is one of the most important locations in the game. This is where you buy much of the furniture and other items that slowly drain your carrot supply.

Yori is also Pipi’s father.

The stock at his shop changes regularly, which makes Yori one of those characters you end up visiting again and again even when you absolutely do not need another chair.

Pipi

Pipi is Yori’s young fox daughter.

She is cheerful, energetic and very cute, and you’ll often find her around Yori’s shop or elsewhere in the village.

Pipi also loves art.

As you continue playing, her drawings become part of a small storyline of their own. It’s one of those details that makes the characters feel like they’re doing things even when Tsuki isn’t directly involved.

Paige

Paige works at Yori’s General Store.

You’ll usually find her running the shop during part of the day, taking over from Yori.

She is a carpenter and enjoys woodworking, which comes up in some of her conversations and newspaper stories.

Paige is one of the characters who helps make Yori’s shop feel like more than a simple menu where you buy furniture.

Elfie

Elfie is another employee at Yori’s General Store and works the night shift.

She can seem unfriendly when you first meet her, but talking to her regularly reveals more of her personality.

She’s a good example of why it’s worth continuing to talk to Tsuki’s Odyssey characters even if their first few conversations don’t seem particularly important.

Benny

Benny is the village administrator and spends much of his time at Town Hall.

He’s a dog, he has a lot of paperwork, and he seems permanently busy.

Town Hall is also where you’ll find the Daily Carrot newspaper, the Punchcard, the fish bounty board and the GachaBoy, so you’ll probably see Benny often.

He is also involved in one of my favorite ridiculous interactions in the game: Tsuki can eventually steal his pen. More than once.

I cover that whole sequence in my Tsuki’s Odyssey secrets guide.

Dawn

Dawn is a beaver who runs the workshop.

She is responsible for repairs and construction around Mushroom Village, and her workshop eventually becomes especially useful because it contains the Junker.

The Junker lets you combine furniture and is part of the system for obtaining Shiny furniture and certain special items.

Dawn also has some rather memorable interactions involving electricity. Again, Tsuki’s Odyssey is occasionally much stranger than its peaceful appearance suggests.

Rosemary

Rosemary is a guinea pig who runs the flower shop.

Her store sells plants, pots, fertilizer and other gardening-related items, making it particularly useful once you start paying more attention to Tsuki’s farm and decorating with plants.

Rosemary is quiet and thoughtful, and her conversations sometimes have a more serious tone than you might expect from such a cute game.

She’s one of the characters I think becomes more interesting the more you talk to her.

Bobo

Bobo is a panda and the owner of the ramen cart.

He takes his ramen very seriously.

His cart is located near Momo’s Tea House, and the two businesses share the same area. Bobo and Momo also have a funny relationship as neighbors, particularly when noise becomes an issue.

Bobo is proud, competitive and very passionate about his food.

And yes, there is an achievement involving making him angry enough to hit Tsuki with a frying pan.

Momo

Momo is a sloth who runs the Tea House next to Bobo’s ramen cart.

She loves tea and prefers things quiet—which can be a bit of a problem when your neighbor is Bobo.

Momo is generally calm and reserved, making her a fun contrast to Bobo’s louder personality.

The little area containing their two businesses is one of my favorite spots in Mushroom Village because the characters work so well together.

Scarlett

Scarlett is a deer and the owner of the bar.

The bar opens later in the day, so Scarlett is one of the characters you’ll see more often if you play in the evening.

She is calm and mature and has a very different energy from some of Mushroom Village’s more eccentric residents.

The bar also becomes a gathering place for several characters at night.

Ratthew

Ratthew is a rat who works at Scarlett’s bar.

He’s another character you’re more likely to encounter during the evening and nighttime hours.

His personality is rather different from Scarlett’s, which gives the bar its own little cast instead of making it feel like just another shop.

Ken

Ken is a rhinoceros who works as a bouncer outside the bar.

He looks intimidating, but there is more to him than his job suggests.

Ken is also connected to the Gacha toys in an interesting way, so collectors may want to keep talking to him as his interactions become available.

Camille

Camille is a chameleon—and she behaves exactly like you would expect a chameleon in an advertising job to behave.

She hides.

You can find Camille camouflaged in different places around Mushroom Village. If you spot her, she offers you the option to watch an advertisement in exchange for carrots.

Watching the ad is completely optional.

Finding Camille can become a little game of its own because she blends into her surroundings surprisingly well.

Draper and Olson

Draper and Olson are another pair connected to optional advertisements.

Unlike Camille, who hides around the village, these two may arrive at Tsuki’s door.

They offer carrots in exchange for watching an ad, and you can simply decline if you don’t want to watch one.

They aren’t major story characters, but you’ll certainly recognize them after they’ve knocked on Tsuki’s door enough times.

Why Talking to the Characters Matters

Tsuki’s Odyssey doesn’t use a traditional quest system where every character stands around waiting to give you a task.

Instead, the village develops gradually.

Characters have changing dialogue, newspaper stories can trigger new interactions, and some relationships unlock additional features. Chi and Moca, for example, eventually let you decorate their homes.

Other characters are connected to achievements, Parsnap moments, special items or funny interactions.

That means it’s worth talking to people regularly even when there isn’t an obvious reward waiting for you.

Sometimes the reward is simply discovering that Bobo is willing to hit a rabbit with cookware.

Who Are Tsuki’s Closest Friends?

Chi and Moca are Tsuki’s main childhood friends in Mushroom Village.

They also have more developed friendship mechanics than many of the other characters. You can track your friendship progress with them through achievements, and building those relationships eventually opens their homes for decorating.

But they aren’t the only characters worth getting to know.

Part of the fun of Tsuki’s Odyssey is slowly learning everyone’s routines and personalities. The village feels different in the morning than it does late at night because different characters are working, relaxing or gathering in different places.

Getting to Know Mushroom Village

You don’t need to memorize everyone when you start playing.

In fact, you won’t even meet everyone immediately.

Tsuki’s Odyssey introduces its world slowly, and I think the characters work better that way. You gradually go from having a nearly empty map to recognizing who runs each shop, who hangs out together and who you might want to visit at a particular time of day.

If you’re just beginning, my Tsuki’s Odyssey First Steps guide explains the early progression.

For the stranger side of these characters—Benny’s disappearing pens, Bobo’s frying pan and some other things the game doesn’t exactly advertise—head over to my Tsuki’s Odyssey secrets and things you might miss.

And if you simply want an overview of the game and all my Tsuki guides in one place, the main Tsuki’s Odyssey guide is the best place to start.

Mushroom Village may be small, but its residents are a big reason it’s so much fun to keep coming back.
