Physical traits

Eddie can be seen wearing a short or long, green jacket with two orange patches on the sides of the sleeves. He wears a white collard shirt with a blue undershirt and rolled up capris. His shoes are plain blue with a white rim. On his head are orange headphones with the same coloring as the patches on his sleeves. His physical appearance includes "sleepy" eyes, high placed eyebrows and not-kept brown hair. Eddie usually is seen not making any facial expressions at all, or smiling in a slightly awkward manner. He seems to be shorter compared to other main characters such as Nate and Bear.

He has a relaxed, though not quite reserved nature. He is very friendly to Nate and other characters, but according to Katie, he may actually see himself as being better than they are. Eddie seems to be into technology and is a much better student than Nate or Bear. He has been seen to get mildly irritated by other characters, but he appears to keep his frustration to himself.

He is noted to not believe in the supernatural, believing that everything must have a scientific reasoning behind it.

Profile

Yo-kai Watch

Edward plays a key role in the chapter Eddie's Search, where he hears rumors about a mysterious piece of possessed samurai armor that is rumored to come alive inside the storage of the Gourd Pond Museum.

In The Extreme Dare, Eddie is found in the Music Room, listening to the piano play itself, which he believes must be because of malfunctioning internal mechanisms, as he notes how terrible the music is. After the player finds Cupistol's sheet music, he leaves for the School roof.

He also has a role in the request "Yokai Aren't Real!", where he says that strange things have been happening to his family - he has random bouts of jealousy, his mother acts like it's cold all the time, and his father keeps gorging himself before dinner. Once the player defeats the Wantston, Pupsicle, and Hungorge in the house, he thanks the player and wonders what could have caused this.

Yo-kai Watch 2

Eddie plays a key role in the chapter High-Tech Hide And Seek, where the player meets with him and he shows off his special red Mega Watch, a rare item. it is then stolen by a crow, and Eddie uses his other Mega Watch to track it. It then gets stolen by Yoink, and Eddie and the player eventually chase Yoink to The Catwalk after it inspirits a cat. After the player gets the watch back from Swelton, he notes how odd it was that a cat would steal the watch, and how it floated in midair (while being carried by Yoink).

Eddie also has a line of requests. in "Hangout Havoc", Eddie invites Bear, Katie, and Nate for a late night hangout. there, little annoyances keep happening - they lose the TV remote, and the TV signal is lost when they try to watch a show. Whoever the player is finds Yo-kai causing these problems, then eventually finds out that Dimmy was making the problems mundane.

In "Time And Toys", Eddie wants to find a retro robot. The player finds a Retro Robot in Old Springdale, but Eddie won't take it, saying it's probably just a recent rerelease version. The player then hides the robot in the past and retrieves it in the present, and gives the newly-aged robot to Eddie, surprising him.

After completing the request "Too Much Makeover", Eddie will have the request "Who's That Girl". Eddie tells the player he saw the girl of his dreams and the player, realizing that the girl was the inspirited Shelly from the last quest, offers to introduce her to him. When the player tells Shelly about Eddie's request, she admits she wanted to try out her new look again but was unable to replicate her success. Once the player calls upon Rattelle, Leggly, and Jumbelina to inspirit the girl once again, Shelly is able to replicate her new look. She meets up with Eddie much to his delight, but Jumbelina adjusts Shelly's face to the point she became unrecognizable and thus Eddie never recognizes Shelly.

He also has a role in "Ultimate Bear Boy", where Bear invites him to play hero with him, however Eddie isn't in the mood. The player, on Whisper's advice, enlists Supoor Hero's help to get Eddie to play with Bear. This backfires when Eddie, now calling himself "Officer Eddie", clashes with Bear and they jump off the roof of Bear's house. Afterwards, Supoor Hero tells the player that they didn't like how rich Eddie was, as it would drain him of power, and stopped inspiriting him, causing Eddie to suddenly stop playing with Bear.

Yo-kai Watch 3

In Yo-kai Watch 3, there is a quest where Eddie's mom coms to Hailey's Detective agency asking for a new model robot, because she broke Eddie's version of the robot, Eddie's mom later comes back to get the robot.

In the Quest "Those Seeking the Ultimate Upgrade!", Eddie is one of the four "Robot Geeks" Hailey assembles along with Ryan, Mark Orckerberg, and Poofessor in order to upgrade Robonyan 28 into Ultimate Robonyan.
