Biology[]

Yoink has a huge head, pale turquoise tongue, and long arms. He wears a blue kimono with a dull brown sash, sandals, and a green furoshiki with white swirls on his face as a mask.

Yoink is proud of his abilities, as he can convince anyone to transfer ownership of property to others permanently. "No take backs!" is his personal catchphrase and philosophy.

Anyone Inspirited by Yoink becomes compelled to borrow things from others, then refuse to return them to the rightful owners. Yoink's Inspiriting can also compel people to lend things to others, and force people to express their deepest desires for property and possessions. Yoink also possesses the ability to transfer ownership of even otherwise outrageous and intangible things, such as celebrities and popularity.

In the anime[]

Yo-kai Watch[]

Yoink appears in Yo-kai Yoink, having Inspirited Bear into borrowing stuff from his friends and then refusing to return them, claiming that he's forgotten. Nate identifies Yoink, who shows his ability by forcing Whisper and Jibanyan to lend him their Yo-Kai Pad and chocolate bar, claiming that his powers are unstoppable. Yoink demonstrates his ability on celebrities, giving Jibanyan ownership of Next HarMEOWny as a personal troop of admirers, having Nate's parents invite Nate's favorite television characters for dinner, and even transfers Jibanyan's popularity to Whisper.

Seeing that Yoink is so capable, Nate asks Yoink to help his dad, who has been trying to convince Nate's mother to let him purchase a motorcycle. Despite Yoink's attempts to boost Aaron's convincing ability, an infuriated Lily rejects his pleas, knocking Nate, Aaron and Yoink backwards. Stunned, Yoink surrenders his Yo-Kai Medal and turns everything back to normal, restoring ownership of everything he's messed with.

He reappears with Peckpocket in EP118.
