Mr. Uruchi (Mr. Referee in English translations) is a recurring character in the Medarot franchise, starting from the first game. He is a Robattle referee employed by the Robottle Association (or World Medarot Association in the anime) to oversee Robattle and ensure bouts respect the rules of the sports.

While the games typically only have Mr. Uruchi oversee official tournaments, he is a more prominent (and comical) character in the mangas and the first anime, where he has a near-omnipotent awareness of when Robattles are about to occur and a flair for making bizarre and dramatic entrances.

In the games

Medarot 1

He is the referee for the City, District and later International tournaments.

Medarot 3

He is the referee for the tournament to win a trip to the space station. When Kikuhime suggests the team be named "The Corkscrews", he registers it despite Ikki's hesitation.

Starting with this game, he can be heard shouting "Robottle, fight!" before the start of every Robattle.

Medabots AX

Mr. Uruchi is shown calling every battle.

Medarot Brave

Like in Medabots AX and the anime, he acts as the refereee for every robattle in the game. He as a variety of voice clips.

Note

• According to Hirano Kana's account of the development of Medarot 2, Mr. Uruchi was apparently inspired by a similar character in G-Gundam.
