Youkai Watch - Jibanyan - Youkai Watch Hissatsuwaza Figure (Banpresto)Jibanyan · Banpresto

Banpresto's Youkai Watch Hissatsuwaza Figure line features Jibanyan, the beloved mascot character from the Yo-kai Watch franchise. Standing approximately 50mm tall, this compact figure captures the spirit of one of the most recognizable yo-kai in the series. Jibanyan is a cat yo-kai who was originally a living cat named Rudy. After being hit by a truck while trying to protect his owner Amy, he was reincarnated as a yo-kai with a fondness for chocolate bars and a determination to prove his worth. He becomes one of the first yo-kai that protagonist Keita (Nate) befriends, and his backstory involving his former owner's emotional rejection gives the character surprising depth beneath his cute exterior. Banpresto produced numerous prize figures of Jibanyan across seasonal variations, including winter, spring, summer, and autumn versions. The Hissatsuwaza (special move) figure line showcases yo-kai in dynamic action poses representing their signature attacks. At 50mm, this small-scale figure is part of Banpresto's accessible prize figure distribution system, which made Yo-kai Watch collectibles widely available through crane games and lottery systems in Japan.
