“Oh my swirrrls~!”
― Komasan and Komajiros usual catchphrase, Yo-Kai Watch
Komasan and Komajiro are two wandering Komainu yokai, who, according to the series, are country bumpkins. Komasan is a secondary mascot for Yo-kai Watch, appearing along side with Jibanyan or by himself. He is the most popular Yo-kai in the franchise.
Appearance[]
Komasan is a komainu, closely resembling a shiba inu with long, blue fiery eyebrows that look similar to hitodama flames. Throughout his body and head, he has ivory-colored fur with a light blue stomach, tail, and inner ears. His eyes are a lime-green color and he has red swirls on his cheeks and hips. Komasan's eyebrow flames are actual fires, but can rarely cause burns.
He carries a green furoshiki (a cloth that can be wrapped, which is used for storing and carrying items) with a white spiral patterns wrapped around his shoulders. He uses it to carry various objects, in the event of finding a new place to live or for travelling to other places. In later appearances, he wears a green sling pouch which was given by Komajiro in the anime series, where he uses it to carry extra items inside of it.
Komajiro is a komainu who more closely resembles a shiba inu. His fur is ochre-colored with a cream patch around his muzzle and stomach; his inner-ears and tail are a darker shade of ochre. He has light blue eyes and brown swirls on his cheeks and hips. Similar to his brother, he has long, brown, flaming eyebrows which resemble hitodama flames. He also carries a blue pouch adorned with a swirl pattern.
Trivia[]
- While Komasan is based primarily on a komainu, his leaf transformation and love of food are traits often attributed to tanukis.
- Komasan, Blizzaria, Wobblewok, and Sgt. Burly are Miho Tanaka's favorite characters he designed for the franchise.
- Komasan and Komajiro's Japanese catchphrase and verbal tic in Japanese were originally conceived by Kato Yoichi, a writer for the Yo-kai Watch anime series. Though not appearing in the Yo-kai Watch video game, It would later go on to be a substandard for the character itself, appearing in the games, manga and various other Yo-kai Watch-related media.
- Komasan was originally designed to be "a friend like Jibanyan" taking notes from the latter's design except by giving a features of a dog, and eventually making the head into a bean-shape, which would depict his personality. In another interview, Tanaka further said that he should have a twin brother as he is a komainu, which led to Komajiro's creation.
- There's alternate artwork of Komasan, which depicts him with a thumb which he is never seen with in the games or anime.
- In episodes of the Yo-kai Watch anime before EP029, he and Komajiro had a slightly different-looking appearance compared to newer episodes, closely resembling his artwork from the game with thinner arms and legs and a less rounder head shape.
- In EP058, Komajiro says that he and Komasan are over 300 years old.
- He was voiced by Melissa Hutchison in the first two seasons of the English-dubbed anime, and in the video games.
- In the Portuguese dub, Komasan speaks with a Porto accent. As Porto is one of the most urbanized Portuguese districts, this contradicts his personality of a country bumpkin.
- Komasan and Komajiro are the only mascot Yo-kai to have a completely different name in the Korean localization.
- Komasan and Komajiro's Japanese catchphrase and verbal tic in Japanese were originally conceived by Kato Yoichi, a writer for the Yo-kai Watch anime series. Though not appearing in the Yo-kai Watch video game, It would later go on to be a substandard for the character itself, appearing in the games, manga and various other Yo-kai Watch-related media.

- In some media depictions of the Yo-kai, Komajiro is erroneously drawn without the white color on his muzzle. Early Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble renders, his model in the first game, and the earlier cover of the IDW Yo-kai Watch comic series are one of the examples.
