Movie
Description
Tae Arihoshi hails from a family with generations of familiarity and interaction with Yo-kai, granting her the innate ability to see both Yo-kai and ghosts through her lineage. As a sorcerer-in-training of the Arihoshi household, she practices Yōjutsu—supernatural arts passed down ancestrally. This heritage directly links her to later figures like Bruno (Akinori Arihoshi), who recognizes her legacy in "Yo-kai Watch 4."
Set in 1960s Tokyo during "Yo-kai Watch: Forever Friends," Tae encounters protagonists Shin Shimomachi and Itsuki Takashiro while eavesdropping on their discussion about Yo-kai. Itsuki recruits her for her abilities, forming a trio dedicated to confronting the soul-devouring fox Yo-kai Tamamo no Mae and rescuing their loved ones’ captured souls.
Initially concealing her magical training, Tae later reveals her identity as an Arihoshi practitioner to Shin and Itsuki. Her abilities include casting spells by drawing stars in the air to create offensive or defensive effects—demonstrated when she immobilizes the Yo-kai Yamanbaa during a battle, aiding the team alongside the Ohagi Yo-kai. She employs specialized tools like a Yo-kai Detection Radar, identical to equipment later used by Bruno, highlighting her family’s blend of mystical and technological legacy.
Tae embodies a gentle yet resilient personality, marked by straightforwardness and a strong spirit that drives her proactive support for her friends. After the events of "Forever Friends," she marries Jack Cobbler (Shin Shimomachi). Their daughter, Mitsue Arihoshi, inherits the family’s supernatural practices, participates in Japanese cultural rituals, and eventually trains Bruno in Arihoshi techniques—cementing Tae’s foundational role in the lineage.
Across media, Tae’s status as an Arihoshi ancestor remains explicit in "Yo-kai Watch 4," with her magic mirroring methods seen in the "Shadowside" series. Her legacy endures through Mitsue’s stewardship of the supernatural arts and Bruno’s use of the Yo-kai Watch Animas, illustrating the continuity of her heritage.
