Biology


In his Lightside form, Pakkun is a small Yo-kai resembling a potted venus flytrap.

She has small stubby leaves and roots that act has her arms and feet.

The "jaws" of the flytrap seem soft and act as a collar around her neck. Her face is a light yellow, with green eyes, rosy cheeks, and two small thorns.

In her Shadowside form, she looks far more monstrous and is a lot larger. The jaws of the flytrap are a wide, gaping mouth with sharp teeth. She has a lot more roots acting as her legs, and two leaves acting as arms with five-fingered hands.

In addition to her two regular forms, she ends up in a form that is "neither Shadowside nor Lightside", in which she resembles a human woman in a green coat, with very long, black hair.

Yo-kai Watch Shadowside


Pakkun first appears in the 7th episode of the series.

She started out as a venus flytrap that was cared for by Azusa, the owner of a flower shop, despite the fact no one wanted to buy her.

Azusa would always speak harshly to the flowers, giving them the impression that she hated them, but Pakkun felt that she actually really did care about them.

One day, she had a vision of Azusa being crushed by a building on her way home, and from the desire to be strong enough to save her, she turned into Kaosake-onna, and lost control of herself.
