(ウィスパー Wisupā)

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.He has no style, he has no grace This ghost has a funny face He can handstand when he needs to And stretch his arms out, just for you Inflate himself just like a balloon This crazy ghost just digs this tune!

Appearance

A cartoony, white ghost with a black mask-like mark surrounding his eyes. He has blue lips with an upper-lip vaguely resembling a mustache. He has a small whisp atop his head and a tail that constantly billows. His Voice Actor is Tomokazu Seki.

Personality

Despite talking in a polite and well-mannered demeanor, he has a slightly uptight personality and a short temper, leading him to come off sounding a tad arrogant. As the yokai Shittakaburi, he prides himself in knowing all there is to know about yokai yet often finds himself hastily checking through the Yokai Encyclopedia when confronted by one. He seems to enjoy lecturing those around him. Whisper's voice ranges from low tones to high tones, thus resulting in an odd and comical manner of speaking. He frequently says "Whis~" in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dub, Whisper has a more curt personality, and has a frequent usage of biting sarcasm.

In the anime, Whisper's best friend is Nate. In the games, his best friend is either Nate or Katie depending on which gender the player picks.

Relationships

• Nate

Nate is known as Keita in Japan. His partner Whisper is the first Yo-Kai that he meets in both the anime and the game. Whisper is Nate's butler who shows him the world of Yo-Kai and gives him the Yo-kai Watch. Whisper never leaves Nate's side because he takes his job as butler seriously (sort of).

• Jibanyan

Jibanyan is a cat that got ran over by a truck Whisper and Jibanyan are both found around Nate very often so they end up interacting with each other a lot. It is safe to say that Whisper and Jibanyan are friends.

However they are actually dating

Abilities

Nate can access/change his Yo-kai Watch by sticking his hand into Whisper's mouth.

He can also go through walls and doors, referencing his ghost-like appearance. While he uses this to follow the player when they go through revolving doors, this trait of his rarely pops up in the anime.

Whisper's powers as Whisbe are still present, but uses his Yo-kai Pad to channel his energy and prevent himself from unleashing his power.
