Negatibuzz is an insect Yo-kai that resembles a mosquito. His head hangs low, and has huge round eyes and a long, thin proboscis, and two skinny arms hang at his sides. He wears a magenta hoodie with darker stripes on the sleeves; darker stripes are also on the tail his body tapers into. Mosquito wings sprout from his back.
In the anime, Negatibuzz has a very negative personality, which he passes onto his inspirited targets. Negatibuzz has the power to make a person doubt themselves and think the worst could happen, making people negative about themselves.
Eventually, those inspirited by Negatibuzz would be so weighted down by self-doubt, they would try and retreat away elsewhere to wallow in doubt. These effects can be seen during the demo for Yo-kai Watch for 3DS, where Negatibuzz influences a business man to build an insurmountable amount of self doubt - to the point where they are borderline suicidal.
Negatibuzz and Buhu formed a unit group. Their powers of bad luck and negativity create the perfect depression combo.
Negatibuzz can spawn as an enemy in Mt. Kokkala Kae ④, Usgra Great Cave ③, and Kokka Rakae Mountain Hidden Room ② dungeons. There is also a chance a Clu-T Fact can drop a Negatizbuzz in the Mysteria Temple ② dungeon.
Negatibuzz can be found in stage 5, 33, 55, 98, 124, 164, 188, 195, 214, 246, 351, stage 9-6 and 14-73 in the Infinite Inferno, stage 17-4 and 23-65 in the Divine Paradise, stage 1 on Mystery Way, stage 3 in Terror Time, stage 18 in Super Terror Time, stage 3 in Terror Time (Ogralus), stage 18 and 29 in Super Terror Time (Ogralus), stage 1 in Liberty Way, stage 5 in the Orange Beach Resort, stage 38 in the Ultra Orange Beach Resort, stage 3 in Terror Time (Orcanos M) and stage 18 in Super Terror Time (Orcanos M).

Etymology[]
"Negatibuzz" is a portmanteau of the words negative (or negation) and buzz.

In Spanish, "Negatisquito" is a combination of negativo ("negative") and mosquito.
In German, "Miesmücke" is comprimised of the words "mies" (bad) and "mücke" (mosquito).
In Brazilian Portuguese, "Jamaisquito" is combination of jamais (never) and mosquito.
In French, "Nihilistik" is a combination of "nihiliste" and "mostique" (mosquito).
Origin[]
Negatibuzz and its evolution might be based on the byouchuu (病虫, "disease bugs"), youkai insects that were once believed to spread diseases, regardless of the pathogens' true vehicle. History and folklore biographer Shigeru Mizuki speculated that they were actually the incarnation of the worries, paranoia, and negativity that can ruin one's health as much as actual diseases.
