💥Moximous K the world is my friend 💥
I wanted to draw the Yo-kai form of other of my favorite characters, Kenny Forester /Fumiaki Kodama, I already made his granddaughter a while ago (Mee2 Katie's Yo-kai form) and I wanted to dedicate a sketch page to him to practice and learn about his design
It was really fun, doesn't he look like a cute jelly bean?

Chapter 13: Questions and A Request
After a few minutes of awkwardly staring at each other, Kenny was the first one to break the silence, much to the relief of everyone there.
"Umm...hi. Do you mind if I study the Yo-kai near you?"
Not really knowing what else they could do, Nate and Katie nodded and with a huge smile on his face, Kenny knelt down to Jibanyan's level and started to carefully examine him as Nathaniel closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed.
"Okay, Hovernyan. What did you do this time?"
He said that in a tone that suggested Hovernyan did this sort of thing often, which honestly wouldn't have surprised anyone in the group at this point.
"Well...you were complaining about needing more time to either get rid of the Wicked Yo-kai or actually getting around to making that certain thingy you and Kenny were discussing."
Nathaniel blinked in surprise before glancing at the group, studying them for a few more minutes before finally answering,
"We'll talk at the secret base. Come on, Kenny."
Kenny looked up from studying Jibanyan and muttered,
"Aww..."
Nathaniel pointed at the group.
"You three. Come with us and bring your Yo-kai with you. I have a feeling that some questions will be answered."
Kenny covered his mouth in what was clearly an attempt to hide his excitement at being able to study both Jibanyan and Whisper further, but the spark in his eyes gave away his true thoughts on the matter.
*****
If anyone had asked Nate and Katie how they had imagined today going, they would tell you that they hadn't planned on going back in time, having their butler be threatened by a Yo-kai they couldn't even see or sense, and being led to a secret base by their own grandfathers who were right around the same age as them, but in all fairness, it was a strange day for everyone here.
"Alright, we're here. Don't touch anything. A lot of the stuff in here took forever to make."
The group went into a clubhouse-like structure that was also connected to a treehouse, a combination that would make any kid jealous. Nathaniel pointed to a small section that was lined with cushions and said,
"Sit over there. You're going to be here for a while."
Not really having a better suggestion, they did what he said and went over to the cushions. Nathaniel leaned on his wooden bat and said,
"First question, who are you?"
We didn't think this far! What do we do?!
Trying his best to not look suspicious while he tried to think of something, he looked towards the wrist where his Yo-kai Watch usually rested and an idea suddenly appeared in his head.
Got it!
"Nathan Amano."
Thankfully, Katie seemed to have the same idea as she said,
"Katie Kodama."
"Lucas Hikage."
Nate and Katie weren't quite sure why Lucas gave Nathaniel a false last name as well or where Hikage even came from, but they couldn't really question him about it at the moment. Nathaniel slowly nodded, seeming to accept that, but the look in his eyes implied that he knew that they were keeping something from him.
"Okay, second question. How do you know Hovernyan?"
"He just showed up and asked for our help."
"Actually, that sounds about right. That is something he would do."
"Wait...where's our Yo-kai?"
Nathaniel kept one hand on his pepper bat as he pointed upwards.
"They're with Kenny. My friend just loves any chance to study any new Yo-kai he comes across, especially since..."
Nathaniel trailed off and cleared his throat, trying to act like he didn't forget that he didn't really know these random kids in his secret base that well and that he shouldn't be discussing something very sensitive to both him and Kenny...at least, not yet.
"Well, nevermind about that. Since Hovernyan most likely dragged you all the way out here to the country, the least I could do is give you three something to do for me and Kenny."
*****
While Nathaniel was questioning the kids, Kenny took the Yo-kai to the upper level of the clubhouse. Kenny went over to a planter that was filled with different herbs and had some small pouches in front of them. Kenny picked up one of the pouches and after examining the contents, he dumped out some Bitter Medicine onto a piece of paper and opened the canteen he had been carrying.
"This should help speed up the healing for your scratches."
Whisper just took the Bitter Medicine out of Kenny's hand, quickly swallowed it, and took the canteen being offered to him as he washed down the bitterness of the medicine.
Definitely better than asking one of my companions if I could drain some of their energy to heal, or worse, having disinfectant spray being used on my scratches.
As his scratches healed up, Whisper watched Kenny grabbed one of the many sketchbooks scattered around, opening it to a blank page, and a pencil off of a small desk and started a small sketch of Whisper and Jibanyan.
"Will you answer some questions for me?"
Kenny pointed his pencil at Whisper, who nodded, not really sure what else to do.
"What's your name and what Rank are you?"
"I'm Whisper and I'm a Rank C, Jibanyan is a Rank D, and the-"
"Oh, no. I just need information about you and...Jibanyan, right? I've seen Komasan and Komajiro before."
Whisper and Jibanyan looked at the Koma Brothers, who just looked back at them with a confused expression as Kenny scribbled the information down.
"Tribe and Attribute?"
Whisper pointed to himself and said,
"Slippery and Drain,"
He then jabbed his thumb in Jibanyan's direction and continued,
"And he's Charming and Fire."
Kenny made a few content hums as he scribbled down the information, but before he could ask about anything else, he heard the kids downstairs calling the other Yo-kai down for something.
"Sorry. Our friends need us."
The four Yo-kai scrambled down the ladder and rushed to join the three kids they were traveling with and all seven of them walked off into the distance.
"Maybe they're bounded to them or something...?"
As he pondered this question, Kenny closed his sketchbook and climbed back down to Nathaniel and was surprised to see that Hovernyan was nowhere to be found.
"Wait...where's Hovernyan?"
"Oh, he just left. He said something about wanting to make sure that they knew where they were going or something."
"So, what do you think of them?"
Nathaniel crossed his arms and said,
"Well, they seem nice, but I'm pretty sure they're hiding something."
Kenny hummed in agreement.
"Yeah. They all had a strange aura, but for some reason, two of those auras are similar to ours..."
Nathaniel looked at his friend in surprise, but he knew better than to question him.
"Maybe it's just because they can see Yo-kai like us."
"Maybe..."
*****
Meanwhile, with the main group...
"So, we have to pick up a few things in Springdale?"
"Not the Springdale you're familiar with, but yes."
Hovernyan floated along with them as the three kids told the Yo-kai what they were doing.
"And all of this is so that the Yo-kai Watch can come into existance?"
"Yep."
They came to the area where the bus stop was back in their own time, only for Hovernyan to say,
"I hate to break it to you guys, but the bus doesn't come down here in this time. We have to walk to the train station."
Even though Nate and Katie were used to walking all over town back in their own time, they still couldn't believe what they just heard.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Wait, we have bikes. We can just bike down there."
Lucas raised a finger and said in a sheepish tone,
"Actually, I don't have one...on me, at least."
As much as riding a bike would be easier for them, they really didn't want to make Lucas feel left out, so they all agreed to just deal with it and walk down to the train station. As they walked, Nate asked Lucas the question that was burning in his mind,
"Hey, Lucas? Why did you call yourself Hikage?"
Lucas shoved his hands into his pockets and said,
"Well, if you want the honest truth, I panicked. Even though my powers haven't surfaced yet, my aura isn't exactly very subtle. If I get identified as a member of the Enma bloodline and if anyone finds out that you guys are friends with me, especially in this time period, it's not going to be pretty. You saw the results of what happened when my grandfather passed away and it was because of your intervention that it didn't become a total disaster."
"Yeah, that's true, not to mention the fact that your grandfather is alive in this time period...at least I think so..."
Lucas nodded and hummed in response, confirming their thoughts.
"But why did you choose Hikage?"
"I saw the name in a book once and it was the first name that popped into my head that couldn't be used to decipher the anagram that is my human identity. Where did you two get Amano and Kodama from?"
"Those are the model names of our Yo-kai Watches. Speaking of which, I think we're far enough away to put them back on now."
They stopped to dig out their Yo-kai Watches and slipped them back on.
"Much better."
Soon, they found themselves in front of the train station, amazed with how different things looked in this time period.
"Wait...how much is this going to cost?"
The issue of money had never been brought up until now and that was when the boring lectures about the value of money throughout history they had to sit through in class suddenly came into their heads.
Oh, great...this is going to be more difficult than we expected.
"Oh, don't worry about that. With a little Yo-kai magic, your financial worries will be a thing of the past, no pun intended."
They wanted to question Whisper about what he meant about the financial thing, but they didn't want to sit through another money lecture, especially since they needed to get a few things done.
"Hey, Hovernyan? When we're done with this, how are we going to get back home? Do you have another Time Stone we can use?"
"No, I only had the one Time Stone and that was only because I lost something that would've made this whole thing a lot simpler."
Hovernyan pulled out a Yo-kai Medal out of his cape and flipped it like a coin. When the Yo-kai Medal hit the ground, a large, purple, three-parted mirror appeared in it's place.
"Hello, Hovernyan. It's great to see you again! I see you have some new friends with you as well!"
Hovernyan gave a hearty chuckle and turned to the group.
"This is Miradox, the result of Mirapo being fused with Espy. You can travel through him like a Mirapo, but you are also able to travel to other times with him. Just say the word and you can easily travel with him back and forth through time. He's generally a friendly Yo-kai, so unless you managed to make him mad at you, he'll easily give you his Yo-kai Medal."
"It's that simple?"
Miradox nodded as well as a mirror could nod and handed Nate his Yo-kai Medal.
"Thanks, Miradox!"
"No problem! Just summon me when you wish to return to your time!"
"Wait...you know we're not from this time period?"
Miradox grinned and laughed.
"Of course! I know everything when it comes to time and space!"
While they knew better than to question the talking mirror, the kids couldn't help but wonder if Miradox was aware that his tone made him sound like he was trying to mess with them.
"Well, it was nice to meet you, Miradox, but we have stuff to do."
Miradox smiled and disappeared in a puff of purple smoke.
"Well, let's get going, everyone!"
After paying for their tickets, they boarded the train and headed to the Springdale of the past.

PINNED POST
Context for my blog:
I started this in 2020 following an intense hyperfixation based around what I dub the 'Kemamoto-mura gang': Keizou/Nathaniel, Fumiaki/Kenny, Yukiko/Lucy, Mariko/Kelly and Fuyunyan/Hovernyan - my main blog is @tousakamis , and my ao3 is @makochiu ! (with this in mind, please note many of my posts and older fics were written in 2020 and a lot has changed since this initial hyperfixation, but I keep things up for archival purposes!)
I often refer to characters with their Japanese names because I got into the franchise when the second games had only just released in Japan and thus the Japanese names just sort of stuck in my memory, but I will always respond to their English names (and for some characters I swap between the two)!
Beyond the Kemamoto-mura gang, my favourite characters are the Koma brothers, Hanako Noroino/Foiletta, Touma Tsukinami, Buck and Hailey-Anne!
I colloquially dub the 8th of February as 'Fumizou Day' as it was my first public post about the two characters which remain the center of my hyperfixation, so if anyone sees me talking about this please know it's more of a personal tradition than anything else - though, if anyone ever wants to join in even if it's just a singular post, I'd be absolutely honoured!
While I do have posts exploring headcanons for the Kemamoto-mura gang on this very blog, it's been roughly four or five years since I first made those posts... I don't have much faith in 14 year old Alina to effectively demonstrate my headcanons and choices for this group of characters, and so I wanted to make a post offering quick summaries and explanations for anyone who may be confused or curious as to my choices.
I know as well that I am definitely not the spokesperson for these characters nor am I the only one to have headcanons for them (I might jokingly call myself the Fumizou CEO but that's been a running joke since I was once again 14), so please know my ask box is always open for people to ask questions and discuss/debate/share headcanons. This doesn't just count for the Kemamoto-mura gang either - while they are 100% my niche in Youkai Watch, I have a lot of untapped love for other characters and I'm always open to any questions or discussions!
Headcanons below:
Nathaniel Adams:
12 years old, lives by himself
Depending on the work, his parents are either wholly absent or only his mother is present - his parents are depicted as neglectful in my later works and his mother is depicted as abusive in earlier works (this, I will admit, was reflective of my youthful amateurish writing). This plays on the fact that in the whole second game, there is no mention or recognition of Nathaniel's parents being present or caring for him and it can therefore be presumed that Hovernyan is his only real support system. I often play on this as reason for him being very independent and determined to be a hero, because while it is canonically due to wanting to defend friends, I also like to factor in that he may feel as if he is all he has to rely on.
He can be quite snappy and rude, which leans close to canon, but I like to show him as being quite mellow or childishly playful around Hovernyan in comparison to others due to their closer bond
Kenny Forester:
12 years old, lives with family and moved to Kemamoto-mura at age 12
Can see youkai if he is a companion to Nathaniel and not the grandfather role - I wanted to play on the fact that he is Katie's grandfather and if you play as her he is gifted with that bond with youkai, and the fact that both Guts F and Guts K exist in later games such as Youkai Watch 3 rather than just Guts K being the 'correct' grandparent. Therefore, whether he has the watch or not, I wanted to write him with a unique bond with youkai either way; otherwise, what is the point of such a cute medallium entry? ("He was a boy that loved Yo-kai so much that he became one himself. That love still spreads through hundreds of Yo-kai friends.")
Friendly, playful, polite and enthusiastic to befriend Nathaniel, though... I try to write this in a way which makes him feel just as mysterious and confusing as it does friendly and endearing. In every work of mine, I try to give him this somewhat unsettling and confusing air - like, why CAN he see youkai, why is it that in every universe par the canon one he is drawn to the one boy destined to create the youkai watch, what is his whole deal? I want it to feel as if his existence is an unanswered question sometimes, but Nathaniel is too happy to just have a friend that he doesn't pry. I guess this plays into the fact that he's, in itself, an alternative universe watcher and he doesn't exist in what is classified as the 'correct' universe with Nate as the protagonist? Therefore he's not really meant to exist in Nathaniel's universe anyway, but despite that, he perseveres.
He and Kelly are the two characters which veer most into OC territory as I wanted them to feel different from Nathaniel/Lucy, but I do try to lean into canon elements of his personality as well, like the way he bickers with Nathaniel and a passion for moxie/guts and stuff like that
Lucy Adams:
12 years old, Nathaniel's neighbour and childhood best friend
She remains fairly close to canon in all my works - a sweet, friendly girl that sticks close to Nathaniel and teases him just as much as she cheers him on, also with a weirdly unexplained bond with youkai (because loving a watcher does that to you!)
However, in quite a few of my works, I try to play around with her character since she and Kelly don't have all that much in canon to work with in the first place - I like to show her matching Nathaniel's adventurous spirit and fierce moral code of defending people, for example. I want to explore her more, so perhaps I'll update this in future with more little tidbits about her character?
Kelly Forester:
12 years old, Lucy's classmate who has lived in Kemamoto-mura her whole life
I headcanon her as a trans girl with a fierce defensiveness over Lucy and a playful one-sided rivalry with Nathaniel which usually just leads to banter and teasing. Her transness is, in part, a headcanon which stemmed from my own untapped gender issues as a teenager, so it's one of those which has just always stuck because while I'm transmasc, having a character to weave the beauty of transness in youth into is very meaningful to me :-)
In my works she and Kenny... don't really interact that much? This was a completely unintentional thing, and while it definitely brings up questions of continuity in the grand scheme of things (like how tf does Katie exist), we ignore that. I'll probably play around with their bond more in my works! She and Kenny are the ones that feel most OC-like but I try to draw on canon alongside headcanons LOL
Hovernyan:
Nathaniel's best friend and youkai companion through thick and thin
One of my favourite things to do with Hovernyan is place that silly, bantering and ridiculous side of him shown in the movie and sometimes in the games next to a wistful, deep, brooding wanderer with a lot under the surface (which is brought to the light because of how a wandering spirit stayed stagnant for his human friend). He and Nathaniel have a bond which is rich in potential, namely in the forms of angst, and I like to play on the fact that they both adore each other and bring out the best in each other when they play around but also that underlying awareness especially on Hovernyan's side that their time is limited and Hovernyan just wants to care for Nathaniel and keep him safe while also not messing with fate too much.
Therefore, he will sometimes go on wistful, deep analysis's of his friend in my fics, right before going back to banter and teasing. I like to position him as a more logical and 'intelligent' figure than Nathaniel but also demonstrate that he, too, is just a silly goofball underneath that guise of put-togetherness
