What is the name of the robotic version of Jibanyan?

The story behind the answer

The robotic version of Jibanyan is Robonyan. He is a robot cat Yo-kai from the future and is associated with the Tough tribe.

Robonyan resembles Jibanyan but replaces the ordinary cat-like body with a heavily armored mechanical design. His abilities play into the robot theme: he can detach his paws to perform rocket punches, and his body contains unusual built-in features, including a chocolate-bar factory. These exaggerated details are part of the series' playful approach to character design.

Robonyan is not simply Jibanyan wearing armor. In the story, he is a future counterpart created after Jibanyan becomes a robot. He later encounters another future version connected with a planetary crisis and upgrades himself, becoming Robonyan F. Shogunyan, Dracunyan, and Meganyan are separate Jibanyan-related forms or characters, but none is the standard robotic counterpart's name.
