Anime
Mochismo makes a quick appearance in EP048. Jibanyan asked Whisper, who did not have his Yo-kai Pad with him at the time, who he is, and Whisper answered incorrectly. Mochismo had caused Nate's mother to lift a couch effortlessly to clean better.

Origin
Mochismo's design is based on an overcooked kakumochi, with the browned surface cracking and the rice paste bubbling through it.

His neutral face somewhat resembles the titular character "Anpanman". One of his moves, "Mochismo Punch", is a reference to one of Anpanman's signature attacks.
