Quotes[]

  • Freed from the Crank-a-kai (Yo-kai Watch 3): "You got lucky finding Nunchucky! Check out my elite ninja skills!"
  • Blasters T camp: "Fear not, for my blade will sing from the shadows to eviscerate our foes."

Etymology[]

  • "Nunchucky" is a combination of nunchuk and the name Chucky.
  • "Venchaku" is a combination of "vento" (wind) and nunchaku (nunchuk).

Origin[]

Nunchucky is named after the legendary ninja Fūma Kotarō, fifth leader of the Fūma ninja clan. A figure completely wrapped in mystery (the name "Kotarō" was passed down from one Fūma leader to another), his clan was famous for their use of guerrilla tactics, espionage, as well as sowing chaos in the battlefield and disrupting enemy operations. They were reputed to be greedy mercenaries who would do anything for money and served the wealthy Hojo clan with great profit until the fall of the Odawara castle forced the clan to disband. He and his clan turned to a life of banditry until his old rival Kosaka Jinnai captured him and had him executed.

Legend typically depicts Kotarō as tall, strong and devilish, with fiery red hair, and a recurring rival to the noble and loyal Hattori Hanzō: however, this is largely fictitious. He gives his name to the fictional weapon called "Fūma shuriken."

Trivia[]

  • Nunchucky, along with Shurikenny are the last 'Merican Yo-kai to have a localized name in Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble.
  • Nunchucky's Soultimate is named "Float Like a Butterfly" in Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble, but it renamed to "Endless Storm" in Yo-kai Watch 3.
  • Nunchucky's "random" nicknames are: Chuck, Raymond, Shigeru, and Marcus.
