{{translation|'''Cadin'''|セミまる|Semimaru}} is a [[:Category:Rank E Yo-kai|Rank E]] [[Wind (attribute)|Wind]]-attribute [[Yo-kai]] of the [[Charming (tribe)|Charming]] tribe that first appeared in ''[[Yo-kai Watch (video game)|Yo-kai Watch]]''.

Cadin evolves into [[Cadable]] starting at level 21.

== Analysis ==
Cadin is a [[wikipedia:Cicada|cicada]] Yo-kai with a pale yellow, semi-egg-shaped body with a dark green abdomen, a pair of round eyes with large pupils and square, angry-looking, light brownish eyebrows, and a flat [[wikipedia:Crown (anatomy)|crown]] covered by a goldish [[wikipedia:Vertex (anatomy)|vertex]], this vertex then connects to a similarly-colored [[wikipedia:Clypeus (arthropod anatomy)|clypeus]], which then connects to a [[wikipedia:Rostrum (anatomy)|rostrum]] which matches the color of his eyebrows. He has 6 limbs in total, 4 arms and 2 legs, all of which are a [[wikipedia:Shades of brown#Beaver|beaver]] color, he also has two of folded most of the time. He has a pair of light blue, semi-translucent wings on his back. He wears a pear-colored, sleeveless [[wikipedia:Kimono|kimono]] tied with a purple [[wikipedia:Obi (sash)|obi]] and a pair of light brown [[wikipedia:Zōri|zōri]] with purple thongs. Strapped to his obi sash, is a [[wikipedia:Katana|katana]] which he also grips in his right hand, it is sheathed in a red [[wikipedia:Japanese sword mountings#Saya|saya]] and has a purple [[wikipedia:Japanese sword mountings#Tsuka|tsuka]]. Cadin has a habit of falling asleep, and after waking up, he has only one week until he falls asleep again. Cadin seems to show a moderate amount of swordsmanship, seeing as he knows how to use the katana strapped to his obi. He claims to practice "cicada ninjutsu", which the Medallium theorizes might be a "mastery of running away".

== Origin ==
Cadin's design is based on a cicada, specifically the Japanese species called [[wikipedia:Hyalessa maculaticollis|''min-min zemi'']] (''Hyalessa maculaticollis''), after its "min min" cry which is also Cadin's catchphrase. (Said species is also a catchable bug in the game, called Green Cicada in the US port.)

Cicadas are especially known for their courtship calls, which are particularly loud (up to 120 dB, one of the loudest in the animal kingdom) and usually performed at dusk to avoid the attention of predators. They're regarded as one of the symbols of summer, and in past ages, both them and crickets would be kept as pets for people to enjoy their singing. They also give their name to a type of ninja decoy techniques (typically removing one's overcoat and luring the enemy into striking it), called ''utsusemi no jutsu'' ("cicada skin technique").

== Etymology ==
"Semimaru" combines {{translation|''semi''|蝉|"cicada"}} with ''maru ''(丸)'', a'' suffix typical of boy names. It might also be a wordplay on [[wikipedia:Semimaru|Semimaru]], famous poet and musician of the Heian period.

"Cadin" is derived from ''cicada''.

In Spanish, "Ningarra" is the combination of the words ''ninja'' and ''cigarra'' ("cicada").

== Trivia ==
* Unlike how [[Jibanyan]], [[Dismerelda]], and [[Happierre]] were the first three Yo-kai Nate meets in the anime, Cadin is the first Yo-kai befriended by the player to fight [[Buhu]].
* In the E3 trailer for ''Yo-kai Watch'', Cadin can be seen attacking, still using its Japanese voice. This was changed by the time the demo and final game were released.
* Cadin's "random" nicknames in ''Yo-kai Watch 2'' are: Runaway, Buzz, Cicain, Cicady.
