Pandle first appears in Yo-kai Pandle, in which he causes Nate to forget to close the door of his house among other things which cause him to look careless. Nate chases Pandle over the street, but Pandle suddenly gives Nate his Yo-kai Medal. While relieved by his new friendship, Nate is told by Katie that his zip is open, which causes him to be embarassed and to get mad at Pandle

In Pandle-nomium, a massive group of Pandles hold a summer festival at Springdale Elementary School, causing the students to get careless by leaving their backpacks open. Nate, upon realizing this, summons his own Pandle to fill him in on the situation. Pandle tells Nate that the festival will end only if the fireworks are seen at the end, which is up to the Fireworks leader. Nate then goes on a desperate search for the Fireworks leader, in which he comes across the Environment leader, the Campfire leader, the Lunch leader, the Newspaper leader, among another leaders. Growing desperate with the search, Nate is called by his Pandle and gets introduced as the one who lent the location of the festival to him, getting applause from the other Pandles. Finally, the festival ends with the Fireworks leader shooting the fireworks

Origin
Pandle may be based off of the folktale Issun-bōshi which translates to One-Inch Boy or One-Inch Samurai. Pandle bears a strong resemblance to Issun-bōshi because they both wield a tiny object that is supposed to be a sword and they are both samurai. Pandle may also be a child that resembles a samurai due to the pan he wears on his head

Name Origin
In German, Pfannes is derived from Pfanne (Frying pan)
