Obake is a villain character confirmed to appear in the animated TV show Big Hero 6: The Series.
Etymology
- Obake - Obake means "ghost" or "apparition" in Japanese, and can also refer to "monster". The term itself literally means a thing that changes, referring to transformation. In Japanese folklore, an Obake (お化け) is a supernatural entity either capable of transformation or is a human ghost. The Obake is closely related to the Japanese yokai; fittingly, another supervillain encountered by the Big Hero 6 has used "yokai" as a codename.
