Strategy/Usage[]
Like the other Ultra Souls, Kachi-Kachi has significantly different stats between Normal (spammable) and Evolved Form (high performance), both of which can be used effectively depending on the situation.
Normal Form[]
Kachi-Kachi has mediocre stats, but attacks fast and is quite speedy, meaning that he can be useful for both short-ranged targets in aid of defensive units. Less reliably, he can be used to weaken Alien or Angel enemies; however, Juliet Cat and Castaway Cat are both infinitely more reliable than Kachi-Kachi, and to add Castaway has higher DPS if stacked.
Evolved Form[]
Fire Squad Kachiyama tends to clip into hitboxes way too often, but, with a wise choice or timing of the Cat Cannon, it can provide solid support from a distance. Use Fire Squad Kachiyama with many meatshields and, possibly, an army that doesn't make it so the enemies are pushed back and forth too much for the most effect. In all cases, spammable DPS Super Rares and even Uber to non-Uber units provide better consistent DPS, with examples ranging from Ring Girl Cat to Bahamut Cat and various others.
Fire Squad Kachiyama can also be used as a general damage dealer for enemies that he can outrange, but keep in mind that due to its tendency to clip into them, he will not last long and likely die, especially against longer-ranged enemies like Master A. and THE SLOTH.
True Form[]
Faster speed means that this form is even riskier to use, especially against non-Angels/Aliens, but the added strength will make Kachiyama Assault Brigade act as a much better supporter who might snipe some backliners, if the crew doesn't clip into them... which is highly unlikely. All of this is sadly null to the power-creep previously provided by more accessible Super Rare units, unfortunately for Kachiyama's crew.
Talents[]
Resist Slow is a situational Talent which allows this unit to resist the slowing effects of Sunfish Jones and maybe others. Only unlock it if you need it for a particular situation, there is no reason to preemptively have it there, as it is very unlikely to randomly save you at some point. As for everything else... there is little to say; all other Talents are very direct and straight-forward improvements, although none makes much of a difference in the long run. Overall, do not invest in these Talents as they do not change Kachiyama Assault Brigade's already-lacking role in any way, and would serve only to be a waste of NP.
Ultra Talents[]
Unfortunately, Ultra Talents weren't enough to save Kachiyama from lacking relevancy. The most noteworthy is Curse Immunity, giving this tanuki some usage if either Relic enemies or a Relic Doge Base are present in more mixed stages. Strengthen might seem to give Kachiyama general usage, but Awakened Ururun sports higher DPS, more health and better sustainability with her slower speed. In terms of specialist standards, this makes Kachiyama much better, having 18.3K DPS against Angels/Aliens, but even this is low given level 60 standards. This leaves Kachiyama's final Ultra Talent: slow. The slow itself is subpar, not even lasting until their next attack, and having a measly 40% chance. 285 NP is simply too much for this, especially when units such as Gigavolta, Oni Hayabusa, and Mizli will get the job done better.
Overall, given the steep price of 15 Dark Catseyes and tons of NP for these upgrades, it's best to save your resources for another Uber given these mediocre Talents won't help Kachiyama much.

Trivia[]
- Prior to Version 4.7, Kachi-Kachi was a part of another Cat Combo called Roasted Apple.
- The Year's End Bash called him "Kachiyama" instead of Kachi-Kachi.
- Kachi-Kachi is the Japanese onomatopoeia that a fire crackle makes. Kachiyama roughly translates to "Fire-Crackle Mountain", which is the name of a Japanese story about a tanuki (a Japanese Racoon-dog) who tricks a farmer, and a rabbit who avenges the farmer by various means, including setting the tanuki on fire, and getting the tanuki to use a dissolvable mud-boat for a boat race. The setting for the story is Mount Tenjo, which people can ascend via a cable car named Kachi-Kachi Ropeway.
- Fire Brigade Kachiyama's English description gives the tanuki the name "Kachi".
- Fire Brigade Kachiyama's vehicle appears to be modeled after the Morita Super Gyro Ladder, while Kachiyama Assault Brigade gains characteristics of the Rosenbaeur Panther.
- Coincidentally, Fire Brigade Kachiyama's Rosenbaeur Panther also references Sentinel Prime from Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
- Although Kachi "can survive being set on fire", he fares no better against enemies such as Crazed Lizard Cat, Hackey or Pterowl Hazuku.
