The Nosirs are a trio of Yo-kai triplets. They are all short and wear purple sweater vests, blue bow-ties, magenta pants, and black eye masks. They have large, thick noses and dirty blond hair. To tell one apart from the other, one of the three wears a small pair of eyeglasses, while another has a large nose hair sticking out of his nose and holds a small vanity mirror.
In the English version, the Nosir with the nose hair has been oddly changed to a string of olive colored mucus instead.
Personality[]
The Nosirs will deny everything. The will also correct people if they preform incorrect actions. Due to their typically annoying behavior, they aren't used to gratitude or compliments. In the anime, the Nosirs make people second-guess and doubt themselves.
Each Nosir says something different. The plain Nosir says "Nuh-uh-uuhh!," the Nosir with glasses says "No siree Bob!" and the Nosir with hair/snot out of his nose says "That's snot it!"
The leader of the Nosirs is also able to infuse himself into an object, primarily the Yo-kai Watch, and is the source of the ”Nuh-uh-uuhh!” sound when the wearer inserts one of the Yo-kai Medals the wrong way.
The Nosirs can be found in under cars and vending machines in Downtown Springdale and Shopper's Row. They can also be found in Gates of Whimsy, between 2000-5000 yards in the Infinite Tunnel, and on Mystery Way - Service Road. Lastly, Nosirs can also be found in the 2nd Quiz Room behind the 40 Gate Globe Gate of Whimsy, in the top left tree.
The Nosirs are part of the Key Quest, "Matt, Don't Give Up!" in Chapter 2. They inspirit Matt during a game of soccer, who stubbornly denies that Daniel scored a goal. The player quickly finds the Nosirs and drives them away, allowing Matt to admit that the ball went in. While they were bashful upon receiving praise, they quickly left, leaving the player without a medal.
Nosirs' soul can be acquired in the Yo-kai Sumo Ring. They are rewarded for beating the Egg Arena. They can also be found in the Gutsy Bones battles in Enma Tournament - Oni Arena.
The power of denial removes the Nosirs from play altogether.

The Nosirs debuted in EP007. During a multiple-choice test that Nate's, the Nosirs were constantly disrupting the children's attempts to choose answers by using their trademark denials. Nate eventually identifies them and confronts them on the rooftop. He goes to summon Jibanyan, but accidentally inserts the Yo-kai Medal the wrong way around. The Nosirs point this out, and Nate thanks them for it. The Nosirs are taken aback, who admit that they're not used to being appreciated. Out of gratitude, the leader of the Nosirs inspirits the Yo-kai Watch so he can tell Nate whenever a medal is inserted incorrectly, and the other Nosirs fly off towards the sunset.
In EP008, Nate puts Roughraff's Medal upside down, receiving a 'Nuh-uh-uuhh!' from the Nosir in the Yo-kai Watch. In EP015, Whisper and Jibanyan receive a 'Nuh-uh-uuhh!' when they tried to summon Wazzat incorrectly while Nate was inspirited by Babblong.

Etymology[]
The name "Mitomen" is a cross between the term mitomu (認む), meaning "don't be sure", and the English word men. Their appearance may be inspired by television character Mr. BATER from Fuji TV's television show called Downtown no Gottsu Ee Kanji.
"Nosirs" is a portmanteau of the words no and sirs, or a play on the phrase no sir, a respectful denial. It can be also be a portmanteau of the words nose and sirs, due to their large noses.
In South American Spanish, "Noseñores" is a combination of the world no and señores (sirs) and also play the phrase "no señor" (no, sir).
In Spanish Spanish, "Trillizos No No" is a combination of trillizos (triplets) and no no.
In German, it's just No-No
Trivia[]
Tanaka Miho said in an interview that he wanted to make a Yo-kai for causing the Yo-kai Medal to be registered incorrectly in the Yo-kai Watch.[1]
The Nosirs are one of the few Yo-kai that Nate befriended in the anime that don't give him their Yo-kai Medal. Rather, the leader of the three upgraded Nate's watch by "fusing" with it instead.
This is likely because the Nosirs do not make an appearance in the video games until Yo-kai Watch 2. They are not registered in the Yo-kai Medallium in the Recap Time of that episode.
Nosirs' "random" nicknames in Yo-kai Watch 2 are: "The Trio", "No No No", "No Bros", and "No Squad".
In Yo-kai Watch 3 their Nuh-uh-uuhh! chant is heard if the player attempts to give a Yo-kai a nickname with inappropriate words or language.
