Profile
Yo-kai Watch animation series
She first appeared in EP196, inspiriting Katie, Bear and Eddie to treat Nate with hospitality. Shortly after being discovered, she gives Nate a limited (sold out) Space Wars figure, Jibanyan a large Chocobar, and Whisper a cleaned Yo-kai Pad. She then explains that she was doing this because Odysseynyan rejected her hospitality (with Jibanyan bringing him out shortly afterwards).
She teleports everyone to her palace, where Nate and co. (except Odysseynyan) enjoy the food and entertainment. Sometime after Whisper was brought to the VIP lounge, Nate was handed the bill. After he tells Princess Pearl that he could not afford to pay it off, she demanded 100 years of Nate and Jibanyan's life (+300 of Odysseynyan's). Nate, Jibanyan and Odysseynyan attempt to escape from her and her servants with a jeep, but quickly reached a dead end. Eventually, Hidabat, who just so happened to have also been staying at the palace, offered to take them back home and paid for their stay with his universal credit card. Meanwhile, Whisper stayed behind at the palace and whiled away his years there.
During Recap Time, Princess Pearl makes herself Whisper's butler replacement (much to Whisper's annoyance), but Whisper was reinstated in the next episode.

Etymology
"Otohime" is named after Otohime.
"Princess Pearl" is a combination of "princess" and "pearl."
Origin
Princess Pearl is based on the sea goddess Otohime, also known as Toyotama-hime (豊玉姫). Otohime is the daughter of Watatsumi and queen of the Ryūgū undersea palace (see Mermaidyn#Origin). After marrying the fisherman god Hoori, she gave birth to the god Ugayafukiaezu, who would then be the father of Jinmu, Japan's first emperor. Most famously, she appears in the Urashima Tarō fairytale, and her true form is said to be either that of a sea dragon or a crocodile.
Trivia
- In the English localization of Yo-kai Watch Blasters, Princess Pearl is referred to as Otohime, her Japanese name.
- Since Princess Pearl is exclusive to Yo-kai Watch 3: Sushi in Japan, all of the Yo-kai needed to befriend Princess Pearl are exclusive to Yo-kai Watch 3: Sushi.
