映画 妖怪ウォッチ 誕生の秘密だニャン！

Yo-kai Watch the Movie: It's the Secret of Birth, Meow! (映画 妖怪ウォッチ 誕生の秘密だニャン！, Eiga Yo-kai Watch: Tanjō no Himitsu da Nyan!) is a 2014 Japanese animated fantasy adventure film directed by Shigeharu Takahashi and Shinji Ushiro and distributed by Toho as part of the Yo-kai Watch toy and video game franchise. The film's plot is similar to the video game 妖怪ウォッチ２, with some changes. It is the first film in the franchise.

In the film, the evil Yo-kai Kin and Gin steal the Yo-kai Watch from Keita Amano one night while he is sleeping to help their master Tokio Ubaune prevent humans and Yo-kai from being friends. He then encounters Dekanyan, who tells him that Yo-Kai are real. He and the crew head to Keita's grandmother, encounter a shadow, and chase it, but to no avail. Dekanyan returns, asking to pull out the cork in his body—the cork that suppresses his energy. Keita decides not to pull it out, and asks Jibanyan and Whisper to pull it out for him, but to no avail. Keita pulls it out, and he and the crew get covered in pink smoke. He finds help from the Yo-kai Fuyunyan - and uses a time stone to take Keita, Whisper, and Jibanyan back in time 60 years to when the Yo-kai Watch was first invented by Keita's own grandfather Keizou while he was a kid. Tokio Ubaune gets word of this, and tries a plan to push the human world farther from the Yo-kai world. Together, the two boys battle Tokio Ubaune and her evil Wicked Yo-kai minions to save the world from her evil plans.
