Marimokkori (まりもっこり?) is a character popularized in Hokkaidō, Japan. Much like the Tamagochi, the name "Marimokkori" is a pun: marimo is the word for the green algae clusters that grow in some of Hokkaidō's lakes, while mokkori is a Japanese slang term for an erection.

Marimokkori's fame comes through merchandising, with a number of various souvenirs being sold in Hokkaidō and throughout Japan.
