Komasan

Komasan is a character from the Yo-Kai Watch series.
== Charactah Account ==
A little Komainu of the Charming Tribe. He spent a lot of his time sitting around a shrine with a dog statue on the premises in the countryside. When the shrine was torn down, he tried to move to the city, befriending Nate, finding his brother Komajiro, and making a life for himself in the city.
Komasan usually speaks with the stereotypical country dialect of whatever language he's been dubbed in. In English this manifests as a Southern accent, while in Japanese it's the Nagano Prefecture dialect of Japanese, most notably seen with him adding the -zura suffix to his sentences. When excited, frightened, or surprised, he usually exclaims "Oh my swirls!", though he once said 'Oh my snake!' when being surprised by a large snake.

== Trivia ==
* While Komasan is based primarily on a komainu, his leaf transformation and love of food are traits often attributed to tanukis.
* Komasan, Blizzaria, Wobblewok and Sgt. Burly are Miho Tanaka's favorite characters he designed for the franchise.
* Komasan and Komajiro's Japanese catchphrase and verbal tic in Japanese were originally conceived by Kato Yoichi, a writer for the Yo-kai Watch anime series.Though not appearing in the Yo-kai Watch video game, It would later go on to be a substandard for the character itself, appearing in the games, manga and various other Yo-kai Watch-related media.
* Komasan was originally designed to be "a friend like Jibanyan" taking notes from the latter's design except by giving a features of a dog, and eventually making the head into a bean-shape, which would depict his personality. In another interview, Tanaka further said that he should have a twin brother as he is a komainu, which led to Komajiro's creation.
* There's alternate artwork of Komasan, which depicts him with a thumb which he is never seen with in the games or anime.
* In episodes of the Yo-kai Watch anime before EP029, he and Komajiro had a slightly different-looking appearance compared to newer episodes, closely resembling his artwork from the game with thinner arms and legs and a less rounder head shape.
* In EP058, Komajiro says that he and Komasan are over 300 years old.
* He was voiced by Melissa Hutchison in the first two seasons of the English-dubbed anime, and in the video games.
* In the Portuguese dub, Komasan speaks with a Porto accent. As Porto is one of the most urbanized Portuguese districts, this contradicts his personality of a country bumpkin.
* Komasan and Komajiro are the only mascot Yo-kai to have a completely different name in the Korean localization.
