Obake



Obake is a villainous figure who made his debut in the animated TV show Big Hero 6: The Series since its pilot. He is the main antagonist of the first season.

BACKGROUND
Little is known about Obake, but he has ulterior motives involving the San Fransokyo underworld, as shown when he hired Mr. Yama to carry out his plans. He can hack into most devices in order to communicate with his associates, usually with his ogre-like emblem appearing on the monitor. However, some computers with high security, such as Alistair Krei's, cannot be hacked by him normally and has to use special chips to connect to them.

Personality
Obake is an intimidating man who can terrify other criminals like Yama, and was described by one of the Mad Jacks as "kind of a freak". Still, he is a calculating person with knowledge of many things that others do not seem to be aware of, such as Professor Granville's paperweight being a source of power or the City Rising piece of art having blueprints hidden under it.

He likes remaining obscure to most of the outside world and performs his attacks anonymously, sending out his minions or hired villains for his schemes, but he sometimes goes out himself, and since very few people know him, he goes unnoticed.

Obake also has connections to criminals in the city and is well informed about the events that occur in it, hiring Globby not long after his mutation and constantly seen watching the news or the city's surveillance cameras, particularly when Big Hero 6 appear in them.

His fixation on acquiring the most sophisticated and powerful science and technology is contrasted by his low opinion of artistic expression, as he didn't hesitate to damage the City Rising artwork in order to acquire the blueprints beneath it. In general, he only seems interested in things that can be proven factually, while having no interest in subjective opinions.

Because many of his plans have been foiled by Big Hero 6, he started obtaining information about them, getting as many details as possible and becoming upset when his hired criminals fail their missions after facing them.
