TRIVIA

  • “Greesel” is derived from “Greed”.
  • “Dokeching” is a portmanteau of “Stinginess” (Japanese: ドケチ, Dokechi) and “King” (Japanese: キング, Kingu)
  • Greesel is physically based in the youkai Nurarihyon, said to be the leader of the Hyakki Yakou (Hundred Demon Night Parade). In the original tales he’s described as an old man with an elongated head. He’ll infiltrate mansions at dusk and pretend to be the lord of the house, smoking the master’s pipe, drinking tea, barking orders at the servants and generally making himself at home. Ironically, there would later be a Yo-kai actually named Nurarihyon.
