As part of a commercial series introducing North American audiences to Yo-kai, the mischievous spirits that haunt the Yōkai Watch game and anime series, Nintendo of America posted this video showing what happens when an obnoxious Yo-kai takes over Bill Trinen, Nintendo‘s Senior Product Marketing Manager.
Next, two more Yo-kai “Inspirit” Trinen and Nintendo of America‘s COO, Reggie Fils-Aimé.
The Yōkai Watch video game was released in North America on November 6; the anime currently airs on Disney XD on Mondays at 5 PM EDT.
