Kumashima Gorota, nicknamed "Kuma" or "Bear," is a human character featured in "Yo-kai Watch: The Movie" and related media. He lives in Springdale and attends school alongside protagonist Keita Amano (Nate Adams), Kanchi Imada (Eddie Archer), and Fumika Kodama (Katie Forester), forming a close-knit group of friends.

Gorota sports a rough, thuggish look with casual biker-style clothing, a distinctive hairstyle, a cheek bandage, and dark rings under his eyes, creating an intimidating impression. This appearance contrasts with his actual gentle and somewhat bumbling personality. He is notably gluttonous and unathletic, though he shares an interest in soccer with his friends in other franchise entries.

His core relationships are his friendships with Keita, Kanchi, and Fumika. While his family background isn't detailed, known trivia mentions his father works as a carpenter, mirroring the profession of Keita's father.

Across "Yo-kai Watch: The Movie," spin-offs, OVAs, and additional seasons, Gorota's role remains consistently portrayed as a supportive member of the main friend group, without documented significant character development, backstory, or plot-specific actions.
