Biology[]
Koalnyan is a koala, taking his features from other cat Yo-kai. He has a blue swirl on his belly, a small aquamarine-colored wisp shaped tail, and wears a collar, with a greenish-blue sphere. His nose is dark green and his fur is the same color as the swirl on his stomach.
He seems to like to dance, and can only communicate using his own name and "puku puku". He also seems to be afraid of water, since he would always try to avoid it and run away from it.
By pressing Koalanyan's nose, the appearances and personalities of the people around him will change, becoming "more intense".
In the anime, his abilities differ. He has the ability to transport himself and other people between the real and cartoon world via a simple boop on the nose, after which his eyes will change color and will do a short dance, before the worlds swap. Koalanyan also has another ability in which his ears are pulled he'll do a dance and others around him will follow along with him.

Trivia[]
- Koalanyan's ability to make everyone "more intense" is likely a reference the "live action" element of the third movie, which Koalanyan made his debut in.
- In an interview with Akihiro Hino, Koalanyan's design was inspired by the idea of a plush doll from the real world coming to life if it entered the animated world. He also said that most animals were already made into Yo-kai, so he chose a koala.
- In the third movie, in spite of Whisper not checking to see what his name is, Nate named him.
