Timothy (better known as Timmy) (まめきち,Mamekichi?) and Thomas (more often known as Tommy) (つぶきち,Tsubukichi?) 是经营该镇商店的tanuki 狸克的双胞胎员工。据传他们是他的儿子或侄子，他们的姓氏也被列为Nook。某些运动员或懒惰的村民会讲述一个谣言，说汤姆·努克在街上发现了他们，并自己抚养他们。他们的全名首次出现在New Leaf中，当时他们在一些商店升级公告的公告栏上。
Timmy and Tommy are raccoons (tanukis in the Japanese version). They are identical twins. They have brown skin with dark brown mask-like surface running down their eye area. They basically look like smaller versions of Tom Nook.
Their clothes change when the Nookling Stores are upgraded.
General Information[ | ]
Tommy works Monday through Wednesday and runs the gardening floor of T&T Emporium.
Timmy and Tommy's most distinct feature is how one will echo the last phrase of the other when together. When alone in New Leaf they will also add a phrase at the end of the sentence in smaller text, though it does not copy the previous sentence's end like it does in previous games when they are together.
The twins share resemblance to Tom Nook, sometimes showing evidence of mimicking the latter's phrases. According to Tom Nook himself, the two can be distinguished by a mole on one of their hands.
Tom Nook also claims that he adopted them because they took an interest in business life, and that the twins are his pupils (in turn the twins refer to Nook as a mentor). Timmy is slightly higher pitched than Tommy.
Their German names Nepp and Schlepp are slightly misleading since "Nepper" and "Schlepper" in German language are words for con men and double-dealers. They were probably chosen for the amusing and rhyming effect. In New Leaf they are also used as puns, for example when they are running the "SchNeppchenmarkt". In this case parts of both names were worked into the correct spelling "Schnäppchenmarkt" to evoke a similar German pronunciation.
In New Leaf they eventually prefer being called Timothy and Thomas. That gives the assumption that they are slightly older and matured somewhat, or at least they want others to think that. The fact they start off capable of running the store with only one of them at a time, does imply they have grown up somewhat.
Role[ | ]
In all the games apart from Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the twins work at the top level of Nookington's, where they sell furniture, flooring, wallpaper, and paint. Here they perform the same role as Tom Nook, buying from and selling to the player.
In Animal Crossing, Wild World and City Folk[ | ]
In these Animal Crossing games, they also work on the second floor of Nookington's.
In New Leaf[ | ]
Timmy and Tommy are the new managers of the shop, which had previously been in the ownership of Tom Nook, who now works at Nook's Homes. At the beginning of the game, they will start off with Nookling Junction, having 4 upgrades as the game progresses, first being T&T Mart, next Super T&T, then T.I.Y., and finally T&T Emporium.

In T&T Mart, Tommy works in the day, and Timmy works in the night. The two have similar jobs to Tom Nook in prior versions of the game, as the player can buy furniture from them and sell items the player is carrying. However, the player cannot ask them about turnip prices or the catalog as in prior games. The player can sell their items to Timmy and Tommy, but the prices at which the twins accept items can vary.
In Happy Home Designer[ | ]
Sometimes I think this house is too fancy for me and Timmy. We come from a humble background, yes. But then I look around and think we've worked hard to earn the right to live in such a palace!
-Tommy talking about the wonders of the house you built.
Timmy and Tommy do not have a professional role in Happy Home Designer. The player may build a house for them in any way they desire as their criteria for the house is simply "I'll leave it up to you!".
In Pocket Camp[ | ]
Timmy and Tommy sell exclusive furniture as well as Fortune Cookies at their stand in the Market Place.
In New Horizons[ | ]
According to the Nintendo E3 Presentation, the Nooklings work alongside Tom Nook in the Resident Services building. One Nookling appears to allow players to buy and sell items while the other seems to be wandering around outside for an unannounced reason.
In Dōbutsu no Mori[ | ]
Timmy and Tommy have minor roles in Anime Movie. They appear in two different booths at the Fireworks Show on the Fourth of July.
Little Timmy may look like a cute little raccoon, but behind those big, innocent eyes is the brain of a savvy businessman. When Tom Nook retires, his family business will be in good paws, that's for sure.
This little Nookling will be happy to help you at Nookington's, Tom Nook's supersized department store. But don't confuse Tommy with his brother Timmy. That hurts Tommy's feelings. And don't confuse Tommy with the grand poo-bah Tom Nook. That hurts Nook's feelings!
