Hi everyone! It’s Mafuyu from Goods Republic!

I know this is sudden, but do you know what day is 2/22 (in Japan)? Actually, 2/22 is National Cat Day in Japan!

The number 2 is pronounced ni in Japanese. February 22 is 2/22—ni ni ni, which is pronounced similar to the sound a cat makes in Japan, nya (meow), nya (meow), nya (meow). Many cat-related events are held on this day, and it is also a day to appreciate and love your cat more than usual!

So, today is 2/22! Goods Republic will also be bringing you an article about cats~.

Come to think of it, NAMJATOWN also has a cat mascot. I just remembered they have a cat day collaboration going on! There seem to be a lot of cat characters......what characters are the first that come to mind for you? First of all, cats have this adorable figure! Here are some standard cat characters!

In my personal opinion, the most seen cat character among these in 2022 is Hachiware / Chiikawa: Nanka Chiisakute Kawaii Yatsu~? Last year, the anime Chiikawa began airing, and collaborations with various manga and restaurants have also developed! Hardly a day goes by that we don't see these Chiikawa characters in Japan!

Are you a cat......? These are nine of the cutest cat-eared characters!

On the Cat Day, it's not just cats that play a starring role, but often characters with cat ears as well! However...... I couldn't think of many cat-ear characters that I've seen recently......!

When I thought of cat ear characters, I thought of these characters, but I couldn't think of too many male characters with cat ears (even though there could be many more)! I can think of a lot of cat ear characters from old anime and video games though. What kind of cat ear characters do you think of?

If you know of any cat ear characters, especially male cat ear characters that were not picked up this time! Since I was not able to find them this time, please let me know!

Okay, that is all for today! I will see you in the next article!

See you soon!!
