However, when he decides to explore deeper into the woods one day, he stumbles upon a tiny, mysterious capsule. Emerging from it is Whisper—a ghost-like being who, after 190 years of imprisonment, is grateful that someone has finally freed him. As a reward, Whisper decides to become Keita's guardian against supernatural entities. Whisper is one of many Yo-kai inhabiting the world, and he gives Keita a special Yo-kai Watch that allows him to see and interact with all other Yo-kai.

Young Keita may have been just an ordinary elementary school student when he first met the Yo-kai, but the many adventures that follow his discovery provide him with invaluable experiences and important life lessons that help him grow.
