Ake seems to be related to Agon, as his face is very similiar to that Yo-kai’s design. Likewise, he has the ability to make people’s shoulders stiff, suggesting he is related to working out, just like Agon.

TRIVIA

  • “Ake” is a corruption of ache. “Katanori-kozou” translates as “shoulder-riding youngster”.
  • Based on the meaning of his Japanese name, Ake could be based on the Obariyon, a youkai from Niigata that likes to ambush people along roads by jumping out from bushes and onto their backs, crying out its own name (which is Niigata dialect for “gimme a piggyback ride!”). He will then become heavier and heavier until the victim collapses, or chew on their hair and generally annoy them. One source tells of a particularly strong man who managed to carry the ever-heavier youkai all the way to his house and throw him against a rock in his garden, shattering his body and scattering a pile of gold coins onto the ground. Alternatively, the gold coins will instead be a gift from the youkai himself if the victim puts up with his pestering all the way to their home.
