- Timmy and Tommy

Timmy (まめきち, Mamekichi) and Tommy (つぶきち, Tsubukichi), collectively known as the Nooklings, are twin apprentices of Tom Nook, the tanuki (Raccoon outside Japan) who runs the town's store. In New Leaf, it is revealed that Timmy's full name is Timothy, and Tommy's real name is Thomas. They look after the upper floor of Nookington's, which their uncle owns. The upper floor sells furniture, flooring, and carpets. In however, they run their own establishment, the Nookling Stores. Timmy and Tommy have much the same function as Tom Nook - both uncle and nephews can buy items the player is selling, show the player the catalog, and state how much turnips are selling for.

Timmy and Tommy attempt to speak in unison, but one always lags behind the other, causing one to repeat every last word the other says (in, this is replaced by them making small remarks after speaking, as they rarely appear alongside each other in this game). They are twins and both share resemblance to Tom Nook, even mimicking some of his phrases. Apparently, from some discussions with Tom Nook, the two can be distinguished by a mole on one of their hands. Timmy is slightly more high pitched, but is revealed to be older than Tommy. Tom Nook says that he adopted them because they took an interest in business life.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf
In New Leaf, Timmy and Tommy now run the town's store, replacing Tom Nook, who now runs Nook's Homes. Only one of them will be in the store at a time (with the exception of T&T Emporium, where one works on each floor) because they work shifts. These shifts are different for each upgrade of the store. Similar to Tom Nook's Store in previous games, Timmy and Tommy's store will be remodeled, or expanded, after certain requirements are met, usually by buying items from the store. The remodeling order is as follows: Nookling Junction, T&T Mart, Super T&T, T.I.Y., and T&T Emporium.

Trivia

 * In, if the player is in the second floor of Nookington's at closing time, Timmy and Tommy will tell them that they must go to bed.
 * In, they state that they do not offer a point system in their store. This is most likely a reference to the Tom Nook Point System.
