[[folder: Class 5-1]]

Nate's mother.

* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Perhaps even more prominent on Mrs. Adams in the anime than it is in the games. She's still got the loose, flowing hair, the younger facial cast, and the fashion sense of a college undergrad (that scarf!), and on top of that she also gets into knowingly goofy shenanigans for her son's sake (like the beginning of episode 3) and has a very close bond with him as a result, and in the show is also only about six inches taller than Nate, if that. She's supposed to be in her thirties, but you really gotta wonder sometimes...
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: If talking about Nate's underwear in front of Eddie, Bear, Katie, and Sarah is any indication.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She can be strict when she needs to and excluding times she's inspirited by a Yo-kai she only unleashes her rage if Nate truly did something to deserve it and as long as Nate is behaving, he can have his fun.

* HenpeckedHusband: Any spending money comes from his wife.
* NoNameGiven: Averted. His name is revealed to be "Aaron" during the first game's chapter ''What Dad Forgot''.
* ShoutOut: His dub name may possibly be one for ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'', another ''Creator/Level5'' title, as there is a character named Aaron Adams in that series who is a coach. Interestingly enough [[HilariousInHindsight they also share the same Japanese VA.]]

!! Rebecca Forester
Katie's mother.

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Even when he's furious at Bear for the engagement ring incident, he's still friendly when talking to Nate/Katie.
* HenpeckedHusband: He's furious at Bear for using his mom's engagement ring as fish bait and losing it. At the end, Bear's Mom reveals that the ring Bear used was from a capsule vending machine and she's never taken off her real engagement ring. She angrily asks if he forgot which ring he used to propose to her. After some nervous stuttering, she tells Bear that his father is a good man, but a little misguided and leaves Bear in charge of the house while she's leaving for a class reunion.

!! Eddie's Parents
* GoodParents: They may spend a little too much time at work, but they still know to leave a cake and presents for Eddie on his birthday and bring him on vacations.
* [[WhenYouComingHomeDad When You Coming Home Mom and Dad?]]: They work a little too much and often leave Eddie alone on his birthday.

!! Mr. Joe Johnson
->'''Voiced by:''' Kazuhiro Fusegawa (Japanese), Paul Greenberg (English)
Nate's homeroom teacher.

* AlliterativeName: In the Official Guide, his name is Joe Johnson.
* CoolTeacher: He ''really'' likes dodge ball.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure[=/=]SternTeacher: He can be (rightfully) mad if his students misbehave or don't do their homework, but he can reward them for their hard work. He's really only a jerk when he's inspirited by a Yo-kai and even then he doesn't cross the line into SadistTeacher territory.

The science teacher of Springdale Elementary.

* HotTeacher: Teaches science class, but looks quite attractive. He even has his own fan club of female students.

* AdaptedOut: He doesn't appear at all in the anime.
* FetchQuest: His debut chapter consists of this. To get the Rank D Yo-kai Watch in the first game, you'd have to get several parts around Blossom Heights needed for Yo-kai Watch tuning, then to get back Goodsight's lucky underwear from the Hot Springs at night.
* FullBodyDisguise: Goodsight admits that he's actually a Yo-kai when Nate asks how he can see Whisper when you first need his services.
* GodzillaThreshold: Whisper tells Nate about Goodsight after the battle with Slimamander ended with Venoct saving their collective bacon.
* PrimalFear: Does not want to get out of his shop at night. Considering night is usually time for Terror Time[[note]]And the chapter he debuts in is also the same chapter Terror Time debuts in[[/note]] and he's a old Yo-kai, you can't exactly blame him from being afraid of getting caught in Terror Time.
* TheWonka: As stated above, this guy's the go-to person for upgrading the Yo-kai Watch, and is also a normal watch fixer. Just be prepared if your watch gets added parts when you get it back..

!! Mr. Batham (Gatarou Gaman)

The old man who inadvertently helped Nate deal with Sproink, Enduriphant's instructor and the Directator's YesMan.

* AlliterativeName: In the Japanese version.
* ContinuityNod: He can be seen with [[YouALLLookFamiliar what one can only assume is an identical twin]] alongside the dancer trio during the boss fight against Sproink in the first game. In the anime, he replaces Mr. Goodsight as being important to the Sproink scenario though in this case it quite thankfully did not involve his underwear...
* SatelliteCharacter: He only tends to appear sparingly and when he does, it's usually either to further the plot to be a running gag. While he does have his own personal motivation to a certain degree in his first appearance in the anime, his actions ultimately proved to be more important than himself as a character and the second time he appeared, he again had his own motivations and actions, but they again only served as a means to a resolution that was ultimately more important than himself, with Enduriphant ultimately overshadowing him.
* YesMan: Every time someone questions the Directator's decisions in the anime and in a quest in ''Yo-Kai Watch 2'', Mr. Batham gives Directator an "OK" hand gesture.
