Etymology

• "Lodo" could be a corruption of the phrase low dough.
• "Binboy" is a portmanteau of binbō (貧乏, "poor, penniless") and the English boy.
• "Nomedá" is a contraction of the phrase "No me da" which is translate as "does not give me".

Origin

Lodo could be based on a binbougami (Japanese: 貧乏神, Binbōgami), a kami that inhabits houses and drives the inhabitants into poverty. Until halfway into the Meiji era, merchants in Senba, Osaka would perform a ritual every month to chase them out: first they would make grilled miso, which binbougami love, and the head clerk would carry it outside of the house, attracting them with the appetizing smell. They would then fold the miso patty in two, trapping the kami inside, and toss it into a river.

It was also said eating uncooked miso is bad luck and attracts binbougami, as the gesture implies being so poor you cannot even afford to light a fire to make soup.

Trivia

• When snapped in the Yo-kai Cam, his tip is, "You can't save any money!
• Lodo's "random" nicknames in Yo-kai Watch 2 are: Nochange, Cash, Blueboy, and Nickles.
