Elder Bloom

Elder Bloom appeared in 2013 video game called Yo-Kai Watch. Elder Bloom (Japanese: 花さか爺 Hanasaka-jii) is a Restoration-attribute Legendary Yo-kai of the Heartful tribe.

Elder Bloom shares a resemblance with Hungramps, but with cherry blossom petals for eyebrows and facial hair. He wears a purple cap and a green kimono, with a patched-up pink hakama and straw sandals. He carries a basket full of ash, overall resembling the classic portrayal of Hanasaka Jiisan.

Elder Bloom is a kind-hearted, helpful Yo-kai, using his power to make people happy. He is extremely devoted to trees and the environment and likes it when humans treat the environment well. However, his intentions can be somewhat misguided as times as he doesn't have a very clear idea of what makes a person happy.

Elder Bloom can make flowers bloom everywhere and anywhere. By Inspiriting people, Elder Bloom causes the Inspirited to grow a sprig of three flowers on their head. The Inspirited instantly becomes happy and performs a chant, "Happy, happy, happy!" while dancing, usually while inflicting minor bodily harm on themselves like pinching their nose, as Elder Bloom considered it funny.

Elder Bloom can also make flower-themed fireworks, which is a pun on the word fireworks in Japanese hanabi (Japanese: 花火 Hanabi, literally meaning; "fire flower").
