His shoes are plain blue with a white rim. On his head are orange headphones with the same coloring as the patches on his sleeves. His physical appearance includes "sleepy" eyes, high placed eyebrows and not-kept brown hair. He seems to be shorter compared to other main characters such as Nate and Bear.

## Personality

Eddie comes from a seemingly wealthy family and lives in a big house.
 However, his parents are usually busy with work leaving him alone on birthdays.

He has a relaxed, though not quite reserved nature. He is very friendly to Nate and other characters but according to Katie, he may actually see himself as being better then they are. Clearly, he is a good person as he seemed bothered when Bear became bewitched by a Yo-kai in one episode and started acting like a bully. Eddie seems to be into
technology and is a much better student than Nate or Bear. Eddie usually is seen not making any facial expressions at all, or smiling in a slightly awkward manner. He has been seen to get mildly irritated by other characters but he appears to keep his frustration to himself. Also, Eddie has a big interest in girls.
