He helps Nate understand the Yo-kai World and its interactions with the human world.

He has since become a residual haunting and possesses people to make them cross the street without waiting for the signal so he can make another failed attempt to fight the cars to avenge his death. When Nate believes that Jibanyan is brave for his actions, Jibanyan is surprised and overwhelmed with joy, forming a friendship with Nate. He later ends up staying at Nate's house, where he often spends his time eating chocolate bars or worshipping his favorite idol group, Next Harmeowny. Jibanyan had initially assumed that Amy called him lame for dying, but after being sent back in time by the Yo-Kia duo Kin and Gin, he learns that she was actually referring to herself, as Rudy's death was really the result of saving Amy from getting hit by the truck as she crossed the intersection to meet with her friends. Jibanyan can transform into different Yo-kai under certain circumstances. While possessed by Roughraff, Jibanyan is turned into the bōsōzoku-inspired Baddinyan who thinks he is doing bad things, but is not that effective in scaring Nate.

In Yo-kai Watch 2, he can fuse with Whisper to create Buchinyan (ブチニャン).
