Faux Kappa

Faux Kappa appeared in 2014 video game called Yo-Kai Watch 2. Faux Kappa (Japanese: 河童 Kappa) is a Rank A, Water-attribute Classic Yo-kai of the Charming tribe.

In Yo-kai Watch 2 Faux Kappa is one of the Yo-kai required to unlock Spoilerina.

In Yo-kai Watch 3 Faux Kappa is one of the Yo-kai required to unlock Shogunyan.

Faux Kappa evolves into Mad Kappa when fused with an Essence of Evil.

Faux Kappa has the look of a traditional Kappa; a humanoid creature who has green scaly skin, a beak, a plate on the head, and a turtle shell on the back. He has dark green hair growing around the dull yellow plate on his head. He wears nothing but a brown straw skirt. He also carries around a lightly tanned gourd with red strings tied onto it.

Faux Kappa appears to be a bit intimidating at first glance, but he is friendly. He is also cool-headed and confident in his abilities.

In the anime, he was a bit embarrassed when he accidentally revealed that he liked rap, which supposedly clashed with the traditions of Kappa. However, he came clean and admitted that just sticking to old things was no good, and valuing new things was just as important.

Faux Kappa had a duel with Walkappa to see who was the most genuine Kappa between the two of them. When Faux Kappa lost, he recognized Walkappa as a real Kappa, and thus Walkappa earned his respect. As of EP097, he is friends with Walkappa and Lil Kappa and they are now the group "The Kappa Crew." While initially Nate supported Walkappa on his duel with Faux Kappa, the human boy quickly grew to respect Faux Kappa after receiving his Yo-kai medal, Whisper, as with Boyclops, Pallysol and Lady Longnek, idolizes Faux Kappa, with the obligatory suffix -senpai, in the Japanese version.

Ever since he first met Lil Kappa, he threw away his old ways, became a rapper, joined his group, and became friends with the fellow rapper.
