* FieryRedhead: Not so much on the temper (although Bob did tell him not to throw a hissy fit) but he fits the outgoing and outspoken charcateristics to a T. And, of course, he has the hair.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Not forgotten, but the fact Buck was kind of a jerk to Nate when they first met is kind of ignored by everyone. And how Buck was seen spying on Nate before his official introduction isn't explained either.

* CatchPhrase: It depends on the language of the localisation. Her original Japanese catchphrase "Chiwatchi!" and gesture is a reference to Ultraman, and was translated to "Watch up!" in Wibble Wobble. In English, her catchphrase in the anime is "Hold the phone!"phone!" and in the game it's "Psych!"

!! Nathaniel Adams (Keizou Amano)/Kenny Forester (Fumiaki Kodama)
->'''Nathaniel is voiced by:''' Creator/RomiPark (Japanese), Meyer deLeeuw (English)
->'''Kenny is voiced by:''' Nana Kouno (Japanese)
Nathaniel is Nate's grandfather, Kenny is Katie's. The AnimeOfTheGame follows Nate, so Nathaniel appears in TheMovie based on the second game and plays a major role.
----
* AloofAlly:
** Let's just say he doesn't take too kindly to Nate and is very reluctant to help Nate when Jibanyan is kidnapped by the Wicked tribe Yo-kai.
** He also refused to be friends with anyone (though not without reason) whether they're human or Yo-kai.
* BatterUp: In the first movie, fighting Wicked tribe [[IWorkAlone alone]], he uses a wooden post carved into a bat coated in chili paste.
* CatchPhrase: "Moxie!"
* DefrostingIceKing: He becomes a lot nicer at the end of the movie.
* HappilyMarried: With Nate's grandma.
* IdenticalGrandson: Although compared to most examples, there are some noticeable differences between them like Nathaniel being tan.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even with his initial refusal to have friends, he was quite gentle with Nate's grandma and he was willing to help innocent Yo-kai in need of help, which is why many Yo-kai wanted be friends with him in the first place.
* LivingShadow: His yokai form is a SuperDeformed black silhouette with yellow eyes wearing a cape.
* MyGreatestFailure: When his friend was being bullied by a couple of thugs (actually possessed by Kin and Gin), he was called out on being a coward and said friend ditched him.
* PosthumousCharacter: He died before Nate was born. As a twist on the trope, in the present day, he's now a Yo-kai of the Brave tribe named Moximous N, living happily with his wife.
* TouchedByVorlons: Flavor text for his yokai form implies becoming one is somehow related to befriending thousands of them.
In the game ''Yo-Kai Watch 2'', meanwhile, Nathaniel and Kenny play a rather different, and much more important, role: [[spoiler:you meet them as kids when you travel 60 years into the past. Hovernyan recruits you to assist your own grandfather, and upon going back in time you must help your respective granddad build the Yo-Kai Watch Model Zero and fight back the Wicked Yo-kai who are threatening both Harrisville and the greater Springdale area. Though the adventure doesn't quite end there...]]
Nathaniel and Kenny are exclusive to one another, depending on who the player chooses as their protagonist. They do largely share a story and character traits with each other, however, and the tropes below apply to both of them unless specifically noted.
----
* AdaptedOut: Neither Kenny or Kelly appear in the anime. [[spoiler:Katie's grandparents]] use GenerationXerox designs instead.
* BadassAdorable: They're about your age, and they take on Wicked-tribe Yo-kai armed with nothing more than ''a stick covered in pepper juice''. And they ''routinely win''. Their sheer badassitude does not escape mention during the story.
* BadassCrew: They assembled a crew composed exclusively of extremely famous yo-kai before you even showed up, including such heavyweights as Faux Kappa (AKA the proper Kappa), Pallysol (the classic Karakasa-obake) and Mermaidyn (Ningyo). The crew included the heroic Hovernyan, too. [[spoiler:It's this crew getting broken up via defeat that leaves "Grandpa" in the state you first find them in.]] There is, granted, a bit of GameplayAndStorySegregation here, in that Faux Kappa and Hovernyan are the only members of the crew who go above "D" rank without evolution of some sort. Well, fame's gotta count for something, right?
* FamilyThemeNaming: [[spoiler:Nate]] was named after Nathaniel. [[spoiler:Katie's]] name is similar to Kenny's
* GadgeteerGenius: [[spoiler:'''They invented the freakin' Yo-Kai Watch! At age twelve!''' Their "secret base" treehouse has some other impressive things for their era, too, like a ham radio on the roof and a water-wheel electrical generator ''built mostly from spare wooden components''.]]
* HeartbrokenBadass: Partly because their [[MyGreatestFailure greatest failure]] moment is rather more powerful than Nathaniel's was in the movie: [[spoiler:when their team of Yo-kai friends tried to take on Kin and Gin, all of them save Hovernyan got turned into stone, and the curse is too strong for "Grandpa" to break in their own time.]] As a result, they've taken to training and fighting alone, not wanting to risk anyone else getting hurt because of them, [[spoiler:which is why they push Hovernyan and the protagonist away at first]].
* IdenticalGrandson: [[spoiler:Still pretty true with Nathaniel and Nate, all things considered. It's less obvious with Katie and Kenny (their hair is nowhere near similar and isn't even the same color), but they have similar facial casts and most importantly the exact same eyes.]]
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: "Defeat the evils of the world with love, moxie and courage! Moximous Mask! Invincible champion! Defender of all!"
* MeaningfulName: In Japanese, their names are written in katakana but their given names both share a first implied kanji with their respective protagonist partners. The non-shared implied kanji tend to be a bit descriptive of the two boys - the "zou" in Keizou can mean, among other things, "image", "portrait" or "appearance", [[spoiler:referencing how similar he looks to his grandson]]. The "aki" in Fumiaki, meanwhile, can mean, among other things, "weariness" - which reflects how worn down Kenny/Fumiaki is by his struggle and its sacrifices.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: [[spoiler:''Provides it'' by building the Yo-Kai Watch Model Zero for you, giving you a host of new battle commands.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: They're still enormous Moximous fanboys and pattern their heroics after the comic.
* UnwantedAssistance: Their attitude toward the ''player'' at first. [[spoiler:It stems from having previously lost their yo-kai friends to a curse, and not wanting to get anyone else hurt on their crusade.]]
* VocalDissonance: Nathaniel and Kenny's English voices both sound deeper than most eleven-year old boys.

----
* BadassAdorable: They're about your age, and they take on Wicked-tribe Yo-kai armed with nothing more than ''a stick covered in pepper juice''. And they ''routinely win''. Their sheer badassitude does not escape mention during the story.
* BadassCrew: They assembled a crew composed exclusively of extremely famous yo-kai before you even showed up, including such heavyweights as Faux Kappa (AKA the proper Kappa), Pallysol (the classic Karakasa-obake) and Mermaidyn (Ningyo). The crew included the heroic Hovernyan, too. [[spoiler:It's this crew getting broken up via defeat that leaves "Grandpa" in the state you first find them in.]] There is, granted, a bit of GameplayAndStorySegregation here, in that Faux Kappa and Hovernyan are the only members of the crew who go above "D" rank without evolution of some sort. Well, fame's gotta count for something, right?
* FamilyThemeNaming: [[spoiler:Nate]] was named after Nathaniel. [[spoiler:Katie's]] name is similar to Kenny's
* GadgeteerGenius: [[spoiler:'''They invented the freakin' Yo-Kai Watch! At age twelve!''' Their "secret base" treehouse has some other impressive things for their era, too, like a ham radio on the roof and a water-wheel electrical generator ''built mostly from spare wooden components''.]]
* HeartbrokenBadass: Partly because their [[MyGreatestFailure greatest failure]] moment is rather more powerful than Nathaniel's was in the movie: [[spoiler:when their team of Yo-kai friends tried to take on Kin and Gin, all of them save Hovernyan got turned into stone, and the curse is too strong for "Grandpa" to break in their own time.]] As a result, they've taken to training and fighting alone, not wanting to risk anyone else getting hurt because of them, [[spoiler:which is why they push Hovernyan and the protagonist away at first]].
* IdenticalGrandson: [[spoiler:Still pretty true with Nathaniel and Nate, all things considered. It's less obvious with Katie and Kenny (their hair is nowhere near similar and isn't even the same color), but they have similar facial casts and most importantly the exact same eyes.]]
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: "Defeat the evils of the world with love, moxie and courage! Moximous Mask! Invincible champion! Defender of all!"
* MeaningfulName: In Japanese, their names are written in katakana but their given names both share a first implied kanji with their respective protagonist partners. The non-shared implied kanji tend to be a bit descriptive of the two boys - the "zou" in Keizou can mean, among other things, "image", "portrait" or "appearance", [[spoiler:referencing how similar he looks to his grandson]]. The "aki" in Fumiaki, meanwhile, can mean, among other things, "weariness" - which reflects how worn down Kenny/Fumiaki is by his struggle and its sacrifices.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: [[spoiler:''Provides it'' by building the Yo-Kai Watch Model Zero for you, giving you a host of new battle commands.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: They're still enormous Moximous fanboys and pattern their heroics after the comic.
* UnwantedAssistance: Their attitude toward the ''player'' at first. [[spoiler:It stems from having previously lost their yo-kai friends to a curse, and not wanting to get anyone else hurt on their crusade.]]
* VocalDissonance: Nathaniel and Kenny's English voices both sound deeper than most eleven-year old boys.
