{{Nihongo|'''Ponchi'''|ポンチ|Ponchi}} and {{Nihongo|'''Conchi'''|コンチ|Konchi}} are the [[Guardian Ghost]]s of [[Tamamura Tamao]].

==About==
Ponchi is a tanuki with large testicles and Conchi is a kitsune. They are 400-year-old animal spirits<ref name="ch163">''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 163</ref> who have evolved into Seirei Class spirits.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 129</ref> They have memorial statues in the [[Asakura Family]]'s ascetic hall.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 49</ref>

Both of them act like rude "geezers" who constantly forget their place as house spirits, and are very perverted, threatening to strip in front of others or urinate on an opponent while holding them with Ponchi's oversized testicles.<ref name="ch50">''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 50</ref> Even though they are nuisances to everyone, they have not been sealed yet because they can be pretty useful, such as carrying out reconnaissance missions (peeping), performing simple divination (undue suspicion), and casting minor curses (harassment).<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Kang Zeng Bang Vol. 5, Shaman File 52</ref><ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 51</ref>

They do not like wearing anything to cover up their nudity; however, after getting beat up by [[Matamune]], they both started wearing cloth diapers.<ref name="ch163" /> They are also immensely afraid of [[Asakura Anna|Kyōyama Anna]] due to her intimidating attitude,<ref name="ch50" /> and after she beat them up for leering at the women's bath, they began wearing diapers again.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapters 65-66</ref>

==Oversouls and Attacks==

;Attacks

===O.S. Angel===
[[File:OS Angel.png|thumb|left|O.S. Angel]]
;O.S. "Angel" (O.S. エンジェルさん ''Enjeru-san'')
*Shaman: [[Tamamura Tamao]]
*O.S. Type: Weapon Type
*Spirit Ally: Ponchi (tanuki familiar)
*Medium used: [[Wikipedia:Planchette|Planchette]]
'''Description''': Tamao's second Over Soul is created by integrating Ponchi, her tanuki spirit, with her planchette. By holding the back of the planchette, she creates a large heart-shaped shield, sprouting the legs of Ponchi at the top of the heart.<ref name="ch157" />


;Attacks

*{{Nihongo|'''Tan-Tan-Tanuki's Thousand Tatami Mats'''|たんたんたぬきの千畳敷|Tantan Tanuki no Senjōsū}}: This is a defensive move with offensive capabilities. By expanding his scrotum from the top of the heart, the Over Soul can envelop an opponent, cutting off any means of escape.<ref name="ch159" /> The over-sized testicles can also be used to shield, protecting against explosions and cushioning falls.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 241</ref>

==Anime/Manga Difference==
In the 2001 anime series, they sometimes act like children when hurt, running to Tamao for a mother's comfort. In the English versions of the manga, Ponchi's large testicles are redrawn and referred to as a large belly. The testicles remained intact in the English version of the 2021 anime.

==Trivia==
*{{Nihongo|"Cupid"|キューピッド|Kyūpiddo}} is another name for the Kokkuri board, which uses a planchette because people tend to ask questions, particularly about love.
*On the colored front page of the first chapter of ''Shaman King'', Conchi was depicted to be with a rather feminine appearance with larger eyelids and eyelashes.
*Ponchi and Conchi are based on Stimpy and Ren (respectively) from the 1990s Nickelodeon cartoon [[wikipedia:The Ren and Stimpy Show|''The Ren & Stimpy Show'']].<ref>''Shonen Jump'' — VIZ interview with Hiroyuki Takei, 2005</ref>
*Their names contain Japanese onomatopoeia associated with their animal species: ''Pon'' is the sound of a tanuki drumming on its belly, while ''kon'' is the sound of a fox barking.
*Ponchi's hobby is stealing underwear, and Conchi's is peeping.<ref name="Mankin">''Shaman King Guidebook'' - Mankin Book</ref>
*Ponchi's favorite food is chocolate, and Conchi's is candy.<ref name="Mankin" />
*[[File:Sp05025pe.jpg|thumb|188px|Ponchi and Conchi in ''The Funbari Onsen Saga'']] In [[Funbari no Uta (series)#The Funbari Onsen Saga|''The Funbari Onsen Saga'']], they appear more civilized and wear kimonos. Additionally, Conchi has grown long black hair and Ponchi smokes a pipe.<ref>''Shaman King Manga''- Funbari Poem: Funbari Onsen Saga, Chapter 5</ref>

*Ponchi's large balls come from the common Japanese folklore on how Tanuki have abnormally large testicles
