- —Doctor Hughly, Yo-kai Watch 3
Doctor Hughly (Japanese: ヒューリー博士 Hyūrī Hakase) is a character that appears in the Yo-kai Watch series. He appears as a minor character in the Yo-kai Watch anime, while he plays a role in the story-line of Yo-kai Watch 3.
He is a worker at the NASU space training program, who aims to launch a rocket into outer space. He tried doing so with his pet otter he adopted from a rabbit pen, only for the rocket to crash land upon launch and the otter to turn into a Yo-kai.
He is notably able to see Yo-kai without the need of a Yo-kai Watch.

Relationships[]
Danny/Usapyon[]
Danny is Usapyon before he became a Yo-kai. Doctor Hughly is the original owner of Danny; he seemed to have a good relationship with Danny. After failing to be launched into space, Usapyon became a Yo-kai trying to prove to "The Doctor" that his dreams are still possible.
Hailey Anne[]
Doctor Hughly sees Hailey Anne as a complete stranger with an over-the-top personality, due to her characteristics. Though, as he learns about Usapyon's real origin, he sees Hailey Anne as someone who can talk to as he goes on to pursue his dreams. He also helps with the infiltration into Bada-Bing Tower.
Trivia[]
- Doctor Hughly is the only minor character in the Yo-kai Watch anime to only appear in a total of four episodes. If the cameos aren't counted, it would be two.
- It is theorized that Doctor Hughly may not have had the best intentions when adopting Danny, the fact that he launched Danny to space, may show him not caring all that much for Danny.
- However, this theory is proven wrong in episode 88 of the anime and the second Yo-Kai Watch Movie, where both Doctor Hughly himself and Santa Claus both testify that he had immediately felt a connection to the otter.
