Nathaniel Adams

Nathaniel Adams  (Japanese: 天野ケイゾウ  Amano Keizou)  is a character introduced in Yo-Kai Watch 2: Ganso and Honke. He is a mysterious kid from 60 years ago, who fights Kaima Yo-kai and is Nate's grandfather.

Appearance
Nathaniel's appearance has an uncanny resemblance to Nate's, due to the latter being his grandson. Unlike Nate, he has tanned skin and wears a white tank top, beige shorts, a blue cape and wooden two-teeth geta sandals. He also wears a necklace with an orange charm.

Fuyunyan
Mirroring the relationship between Nate and Jibanyan, Nathaniel is usually seen with Fuyunyan. The two share a close bond not unlike Nate and Jibanyan.

Nate
Nathaniel is impressed by Nate's resolve and abilities enough to trust him with the Yo-Kai Watch Model Zero. Likewise, Nathaniel is eager to teach him his battle dance and pose, which Nate gradually leans. It is later revealed he is Nate's Grandfather, who passed away some years before his grandson was born.

Abilities and Powers
Nathaniel is credited with the conception and creation of the Yo-Kai Watch Model Zero, which later inspired the creation of the normal design in the games. He also created the prototypes for five Yo-Kai Medals, which would be complete before fighting against Kin and Gin alongside Fuyunyan and five classic Yo-Kai (which inspired the prototypes).

Nathaniel is agile and strong. He uses a wooden club to fight Kaima Yo-kai. He also has a sharp mind, being able to identify disguised Kaima Yo-kai who infiltrated the Ganso and Honke armies in order to sparkle further animosity between the two sides.

Trivia
Nathaniel is a variation of Nate's proper name Nathan which emphasizes how he is related to Nate. This applies to his japanese name as well in which Kei-ta and Kei-zou have the same first syllable in their names.
