Yo-Kai Watch - learning the origins behind some Yo-Kai

by rawmeatcowboy
04 August 2015
GN Version 5.0

Whisper

- resembles a traditional ghost
- appears white and billow-y
- amorphous shape
- mischievous, but also something of a guide for players as they learn about Yo-Kai

Dulluma

- based on daruma dolls
- daruma good luck charms come with blank eyes
- fill in one when you set a goal for yourself, then the other when you’ve achieved it
- Dulluma’s eyes are blank, but maybe he’ll still be lucky for people who add him to their team

Walkappa

- aquatic yokai based upon the kappa
- kappa in mythology was a fearsome, river dwelling, beaked creature that loved cucumbers
- kappa had to keep water in a bowl on its head
- If the bowl dried out, the kappa would lose power and possibly die
- Walkappa has a similar bowl-shaped head, and also carries a bottle of water so he’ll never dry out

Zashiki-warashi

- Zashiki-warashi means it’s a mischievous house spirit that looks like a small person
- wide eyes and a smirk
