Biology[]
A cat-dog mesh Yo-kai resembling a shiba inu dog. His body is dull orange with a cream-colored muzzle, chest, and paw tips. His inner-ear is dark pink and he has loose tufts of fur on each cheek. His nose is a dark brown and he has dot-styled eyebrow markings above each eye. His Haramaki is crimson, while his tail flames and collar orb are lavender.
Puppynyan acts more like a dog rather than a cat.
Like the rest of the his team Puppynyan has a unique walk/run animation. He runs on all fours much like a dog, unlike how Jibanyan and most cat Yo-kai have the same run and walk animation. This can be found when playing as him in Yo-kai Watch Blasters.

In the anime[]
Puppynyan in the anime.
Etymology[]
- "Inunyan" is a combination of the Japanese word for dog 犬 (Inu) and ニャン (nyan), the sound a cat makes.
- "Perronyan" is a pun on "Perro" (Dog) and Nyan.
- "Canyan" is a combination of "cane" (dog) and "nyan."
- "Puppynyan" is a portmanteau of puppy and nyan.
- His Wibble Wobble English name, 'Doggynyan,' is a direct translation of his Japanese name with exception of "Dog" being changed to the childlike colloquial "Doggy." This may have been due to the fact that the target audience is children and that is how most of them would say the word "dog" outside of Japan.
Origin[]
Puppynyan is based on the talking dog that accompanies Momotaro in his quest in Japanese Folklore.
Trivia[]
- It is revealed that his dog ears are part of a helmet, as seen in EP093.
- Puppynyan appears in an episode of Hangin' with Mr. Crabbycat in an all-cat class including Baddinyan, Thornyan, and Shogunyan, but he suffers a dilemma over whether he is actually a cat or a dog. While played for laughs, it's a satire of a famous episode from Kinpachi-sensei, which was about gender dysphoria.
- Puppynyan's Soultimate is named "Pooch Paw Punch" in Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble, but it was renamed to "Puppy Paws" in Yo-kai Watch Blasters.
- In Wibble Wobble, as Doggynyan, his sound byte says "Puppynyan" which was probably his initial name and was changed back in Yo-kai Watch Blasters.
