Description
Cha Giung is the Korean name for the character known as Bear in the English version of Yo-kai Watch and as Kumashima Gorota in the original Japanese version. He is one of the friends of the protagonist Nate, alongside other classmates like Eddie and Katie.
In terms of his background, Cha Giung is an elementary school student who presents a notably rough exterior. His casual clothing and hairstyle give him a biker-like appearance, which is further accentuated by a bandage often seen on his cheek and dark rings around his eyes that can make him look intimidating. Despite this thuggish appearance, his true personality is quite gentle, though somewhat bumbling. He is a glutton and is not portrayed as particularly athletic, but he shares a love of soccer with his friends Nate and Eddie in the anime. He is also shown to be unusually sensitive, with a tendency to burst into tears easily.
Cha Giung's role in the story is primarily that of a supporting character and a loyal friend. He is consistently seen alongside the main group of children, participating in their everyday adventures and responding to the strange events caused by Yo-kai. His motivations are simple and relatable for a child his age, revolving around his friendships, his hobbies, and his interests, such as collecting toys. For example, in one of the Yo-kai Watch movies, he is shown excitedly obtaining a rare action figure, which he values significantly, even offering to sell it to his friend Eddie for a considerable amount of money, albeit at a small discount for their friendship.
His key relationships center on his close friend group. He is good friends with Nate, the main human protagonist, as well as with Eddie and Katie. He also has a younger sister named Bearmie in the anime, who has returned home from living in America. Unlike his friends, Cha Giung does not possess any notable supernatural abilities or fight with Yo-kai, as he is a normal human child. One notable development occurs in the third Yo-kai Watch movie, where his appearance in a live-action sequence is that of a thirty-year-old man, causing his friend Nate to comment that he looks like he has grown up. This is a meta-textual joke related to the age of the actor portraying him. no info
