Team Yokai (Dekoki and Yuto)

The Lollipop's karaoke regulars — Dekoki, a level-84 Kappa Seductress with Saran Wrap over her head bowl, and Yuto, a red Oni who sings 'Careless Whisper' — in a yellow AMC Pacer, an NPC team Carl hopes will make it; they phase through a door in the final heat and are gone.
