Revision as of 04:23, 15 June 2016
The following is a list of characters from Level-5's video game and anime franchise, Yo-kai Watch. Where available, names from the English games, North American English dub, and the North American English manga are on the left, while the original Japanese names are on the right.
The version of the manga distributed in Southeast Asia (including the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei) by Shogakukan Asia uses the original Japanese character names.
Main characters
- Nathan "Nate" Adams / Keita Amano (天野 景太 / ケータ, Amano Keita) [1]
- Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu (Japanese); Johnny Yong Bosch[2] (English)
- Nate is an 11-year-old boy. He is able to do everything averagely, but this mediocrity bothers him. While out in the forest, he happens upon a capsule machine standing under a derelict sacred tree. Purchasing one of the capsules, he frees Whisper and is given the Yo-kai Watch, allowing him to see and make friends with Yo-kai, as well as summon them into battle. He does not possess a Yo-kai Watch in the shoujo manga series and is unaware of the presence of Yo-kai.[3]
- Whisper (ウィスパー, Wisupā)
- Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (Japanese); J.W. Terry[2] (English)
- Whisper is the self-appointed, ghostly Yo-kai butler to Nate after he frees him from the capsule he was imprisoned in. He helps Nate understand the Yo-kai World and its interactions with the human world. Whisper claims to be very knowledgable about the Yo-kai, but actually relies heavily on a tablet computer called the Yokai Pad (妖怪パッド, Yōkai Paddo) to look up information on the Yo-kai Wiki (妖怪ウキウキペディア, Yōkai Ukiukipedia). He often dismisses Nate's suspicions that a Yo-kai is involved with mysterious occurrences in his life, only to be proven wrong almost instantly. Following an incident with the Yo-kai Watch Type Zero, Nate can switch between the different Yo-kai Watch models by putting his arm inside his mouth. Whsiper always ends his statements with "Whis" (ウィス, Wisu). In Yo-kai Watch Busters, he is revealed to be a Slippery Tribe Yo-kai. In the anime, it is revealed he is secretly a Yo-kai named Whisbe (Shittakaburi (シッタカブリ, from shittakaburi (知ったかぶり, "know-it-all")) in Japan), whose belches cause people to claim to know all about things when they actually have no idea.
- Jibanyan (ジバニャン, from jibakurei (地縛霊, "residual haunting") and nyan (にゃん, "cat"))
- Voiced by: Etsuko Kozakura (Japanese); Alicyn Packard[2] (English)
- Jibanyan is a Charming Tribe cat Yo-kai, specifically a nekomata, who is the ghost of a cat called Rudy (Akamaru (アカマル) in the Japanese version), the pet of a teenager named Amy (Emi "Emi-chan") until he died after being hit by a truck while crossing an intersection. He has since become a residual haunting and possesses people to make them cross the street without waiting for the signal, all so he can make failed attempt to fight the cars to avenge his death. When Nate believes that Jibanyan is brave for his actions, Jibanyan is surprised and overwhelmed with joy, forming a friendship with Nate. He later ends up staying at Nate's house, where he often spends his time eating chocolate bars or worshipping his favorite idol group, Next Harmeowny. Jibanyan had initially assumed that Amy called him lame for dying, but after being sent back in time by the Grim Reaper duo Kin and Gin, he learns that she was actually referring to herself, as Rudy's death was really the result of saving Amy from getting hit by the truck as she crossed the intersection to meet with her friends.
- Jibanyan can transform into different Yo-kai under certain circumstances. While possessed by Roughraff, Jibanyan is turned into the bōsōzoku-inspired Baddinyan who thinks he is doing bad things, but is not that effective in scaring Nate. When he gets a cold, he becomes Togenyan (トゲニャン), turning green and growing cactus-like spikes that shoot out whenever he sneezes. In Yo-kai Watch 2, he can fuse with Whisper to create Buchinyan (ブチニャン).
- Katie Forester / Fumika "Fumi-chan" Kodama (木霊 文花 / フミちゃん, Kodama Fumika / Fumi-chan)
- Voiced by: Aya Endō (Japanese); Melissa Hutchison[2] (English)
- Born on February 3. Katie is a girl in Nate's class at school. She is highly intelligent, but is worried that she does not meet her mother's standards, and is often admired by the male students, particularly Nate. She is the female protagonist in both the video games and the shoujo manga series. In contrast to Nate's Watch, Katie's Yo-kai Watch is shaped like a pocket watch with a floral design, which Katie hangs around her neck. Outside of a dream Whisper has in episode 67, she does not possess a Yo-kai Watch in the anime series and is unaware of the presence of Yo-kai.
- Barnaby "Bear" Bernstein / Gorōta "Kuma" Kumashima (熊島 五郎太 / クマ, Kumashima Gorōta / Kuma)
- Voiced by: Tōru Nara (Japanese); Pierre Holloway[2] (English)
- Nate's friend and classmate who looks like a bully, but is actually a very good friend.
- Edward "Eddie" Archer / Kanchi Imada (今田 干治 / カンチ, Imada Kanchi)
- Voiced by: Chie Satō (Japanese); Brent Pendergrass[2] (English)
- Nate's friend and classmate, who is often seen hanging around Bear. He does not believe in ghosts or monsters, and is very intelligent.
- Manjimutt / Jinmenken (じんめん犬, lit. "human-faced dog")
- Voiced by: Naoki Bandō (Japanese); Pierre Holloway[2] (English)
- An Eerie tribe dog Yo-kai who was once a human salaryman until he got drunk one night and died being crushed by several boards, alongside a toy poodle, transforming him into a salaryman-faced toy poodle. Due to the circumstances of his death, he can be seen by people without a Yo-kai Watch. His resemblance to a human gets him in trouble with the police after he is found urinating in public, and then claims to be a dog. Manjimutt has his own featurette in some episodes following his appearance, often starting a new job to fill his time, only to be arrested at the end for his troublemaking. This has included owning a high fashion salon, becoming a photographer, becoming a pastry chef, making pottery, wanting to go to Hollywood, and becoming a movie superhero. However, he is arrested in the United States and imprisoned on Alcatraz, where he plots his escape.
- Komasan (コマさん, from komainu (狛犬))
- Voiced by: Aya Endō (Japanese); Melissa Hutchison (English)
- A Charming Tribe lion dog Yo-kai from the countryside who Nate and Whisper meet while he is visiting the city for the first time. The shrine he used to guard got knocked down for construction and he tries to adapt to life in the city, but is overwhelmed by the sights and sounds, as well as his love for soft serve ice cream. He is featured prominently in the anime and is one of the main protagonists of the Yo-kai Watch Busters games. In the Japanese version, he tends to use Mongē (もんげー) as an exclamation and ends his sentences with zura (ズラ), while in the English dub, he speaks in a country dialect and often exclaims "Oh my swirls!" when amazed.
- In Yo-kai Watch 2, the player can get a special version of Komasan with a frog-mouth pouch (がまぐちポーチ, gamaguchi pōchi).
- Inaho Misora (美空 イナホ, Misora Inaho)
- Voiced by: Aoi Yūki
- Inaho is a young girl in Nate's school who is introduced in Yo-kai Watch 3 and the anime's second season. A sci-fi geek with an obsession with space, Inaho is tricked by Usapyon into buying the Yo-kai Watch U Prototype, having believed it to be a "Space Watch", upon which she is introduced to the world of Yo-kai. She agrees to help Usapyon build a rocket to help Dr. Hughley's dreams come true, seeking out Yo-kai Medals needed to power the individual parts. Afterwards, the two start a detective agency to investigate Yo-kai "crimes" in the city. [4]
- Usapyon (USAピョン, from "USA", usagi (うさぎ, "rabbit"), and pyonpyon (ぴょんぴょん, "bouncing"))
- Voiced by: Kotori Shigemoto
- A Shady Tribe Yo-kai from America who brings Inaho into the world of Yo-kai. Although he wears a rabbit-shaped astronaut suit, he is not actually a rabbit and looks nothing like one underneath the suit; the rabbit ears are just part of his helmet. Whenever Inaho pushes him too far, he activates his "Vader Mode" (ベイダーモード, Beidā Mōdo) and starts firing his laser gun everywhere. In his past life, Usapyon was a supposed otter called Chibi (チビ), who was taken in by a rocket scientist named Dr. Hughley and poised to be the first small animal to survive going into space, only to be killed in a rocket malfunction he himself caused. Now as a Yo-kai, Usapyon wants to make Dr. Hughley's dream a reality by making a new rocket powered by various Yo-kai Medals, seeking out Inaho's help in order to build it, before they open their detective agency.

- Voiced by: Romi Park

Hidabat appears in Nate's room, making Jibanyan feel like staying inside forever, and locking Nate out. After Jibanyan is forced out by Happierre and Dismarelda, Fidgephant is used to drive Hidabat out of Jibanyan, and Hidabat admits that he is just afraid of going outside.

List of Yo-kai
Yo-kai are a folk of spiritual beings in the world of Yo-kai Watch, based on the various spirits and figures of Japanese mythology. They are divided into various tribes that define their basic areas of strength or rarity. There were eight primary tribes: Brave, Mysterious, Tough, Charming, Heartful, Shady, Eerie, and Slippery. The Kaima Tribe is introduced in Yo-kai Watch 2. In Yo-kai Watch 3, an ninth main tribe "Hagure" will debut. Each tribe has its own special song that is played when the Yo-kai is summoned. With some exceptions, Yo-kai are invisible to humans who do not possess the Yo-kai Watch, though they can put leaves on their heads which disguise themselves as humans when they need to interact with other humans.
