The Yo-kai Watch series, which originated as a video game in 2013 before receiving anime and film adaptations, follows Nate Adams,
a young boy who discovers a watch that allows him to see and summon supernatural beings called Yo-kai.
The first film based on the series, Yo-kai Watch Movie: It’s The Secret Of Birth, Meow!, was released in 2014 and made $99 million at the worldwide box office, with almost half of that coming from a 2016 re-release.
