Main Yo-kai
Whisper is a Slippery tribe Yo-kai who became Nate’s self-appointed butler after he freed 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 knowledgeable about the Yo-kai, but actually relies heavily on a tablet computer called the to look up information. 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 Whisper's mouth. In the anime, it is revealed he is secretly a Yo-kai named Nonuttin, whose belches cause people to claim to know all about things when they actually have no idea.;Usapyon /

List of Yo-kai
are spiritual beings in the world of Yo-kai Watch, based on various Japanese mythological spirits and figures. They are divided into 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, a 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 wear put leaiads which disguise themselves as hsehmans. The Yo-kai are listed below based on their numbering in the games' Yo-kai Dictionary, while those with fictional character biographies and casting information have made appearances in the television series.
