"Being Inspirited by Spenp will make you buy things you don't even want. Wave bye to your cash!"


"...What are you, a Communist?! If you got it; flaunt it!"
—Spenp, EP011

Spenp (Japanese: ムダヅカイ Mudazukai) is a Rank C, Wind-attribute Yo-kai of the Slippery tribe introduced in Yo-kai Watch.

Appearances[]

Anime series[]

Biology[]

A hazel-green clamshell with a zipper poking out of the right of its mouth. It has a long dark pink tongue and is shown holding a 500 yen coin with three gold coins floating around the top of it. Inside of the shell is an eye with a golden iris and a slitted black pupil.

Spenp loves to be wasteful, he believes that spending money boosts the economy through "trickle-down economics" and that greed is good. In the English version, according to the Yo-kai Wiki, Spenp comes from the 1980s.

Once Spenp inspirits someone, they'll be compelled to splurge on things they don't even particularly want.

Though he has qualms with it, Nate summons him in EP072 to fight the Shady Yo-kai Greesel. Despite being polar opposites, he becomes best friends with Greesel after deciding to pay for his dinner.

In the anime[]

Spenp first appears in EP011, in which causes a streak of money wastes by Nate and his friends of the money they saved to buy a manga magazine (though in the English version, it was a video game). When confronted by Nate, he bluntly states it is fun to waste money and when asked by Nate about it, he counters asking if the economy would super-recover if no one is wasteful. After Nate and his friend win the manga magazine issue in a lottery, Spenp gives Nate his Yo-kai Medal. Nate states he wouldn't summon Spenp much.

Despite the above statement, Spenp is first summoned in EP072 to deal with Greesel. He quickly becomes friends with the elder Yo-kai and invites him for eating.

In EP103, Hungramps goes to the mall to catch and eat all of Spenp’s babies.

He also makes an appearance in EP118.
