Yo-Kai Watch follows a boy named Nate (Keita in Japan), who, whilst searching for bugs in the woods one day, comes across a peculiar capsule machine next to a sacred tree. When he opens one of the capsules up, it brings forth the Yo-Kai Whisper, who gives Nate a device known as the Yo-Kai Watch. Using this, Nate is able to identify and see various different Yo-Kai that are haunting people and causing mischief.
Joined by the cat Yo-Kai Jibanyan, Nate and Whisper start befriending all sorts of Yo-Kai, which Nate can summon to battle against more ill-intentioned Yo-Kai that happen to live in his town, causing terrible trouble. Nate also goes on adventures around the town with his Yo-Kai partners to help his human friends Bear (Kuma), Eddie (Kanchi), and Katie (Fumi-chan) deal with their various problems, often caused by other Yo-Kai.
Later in the series, a new girl named Inaho moves into town, in a different homeroom class from Keita, and discovers her own Yo-Kai Watch and the Yo-Kai Usapyon, who wants her help in restoring the happiness of a scientist he accidentally upset, before opening up a detective agency to investigate the many Yo-Kai "crimes" plaguing the city.
Yo-Kai Watch is a co-production of Level 5, Dentsu Entertainment USA, Inc. and TV TOKYO Corporation, and is geared towards children aged 6 years and over.
