Alex

For years, Alex was just your average ordinary kid. Then, at the age of 24, one fateful post-Christmas day, he recieved a gift from his long-lost dog Snowbell.

Now, he's still an average ordinary guy, he just can talk to ghosts now. Things have gotten pretty interesting since then, to say the least!

North Star Watch

As most modern yokai-consorting folks would know, a Yo-kai Watch is a device that allows humans to see hidden yokai, as well as summon them by using special medals. While the look of these "watches" sometimes differs, generally they all serve the same general function. Humans who use yokai watches are known as "watchholders".

Alex's signature item is the North Star Yo-kai Watch ("North Watch" for short), a watch in the style of an antique brass compass. Despite its apparent age, it still functions well, and even the weathered glass lens looks clear when it's being used.

A unique quirk about the North Watch is while it doubles as a compass, it almost never points north. Rather, it can track and point towards hidden yokai, and even guide its holder in the right direction should they ever get lost.

Alex typically wears the North Watch around his neck like a pendant, particularly when he's out on a case for the Kuzunoha Detective Agency. In general public, he tends to keep it in his coat pockets as to not attract any human attention; he's shy enough as it is, and boy would it be awkward trying to explain it to regular people.

Yokai medals are typically stored in book-like "Medallium" albums. Alex, however, stores most of his medals in a cute patterned wallet he got as a souvenir in the Yo-kai World.
