   often not considering the consequences of his actions.  Like the other   
   members of the group, he transforms into his beast form under certain   
   circumstances; he tends to change when he gets excited.  [CJ]   
      
      Zoe (MEW MEW POWER):  see "Ichigo", above.   
      
      
   SPECIAL CASES   
      
      Hikaru (MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH):  For comic effect, Hikaru is   
   sometimes shown with nekomimi.  [GM, RK]   
      
      Jiji (KIKI's DELIVERY SERVICE):  Familiar to the young witch Kiki,   
   Jiji is a talking cat.  [RL, RK]   
      
      Kisa (FRUITS BASKET):  Changes between a tiger cub and a young girl.   
   [GM]   
      
      Kyo (FRUITS BASKET):  Kyo shifts between cat and human forms.  [GM]   
      
      Kyosuke (KIMAGURE ORANGE ROAD OAV:  I Was a Goldfish/Cat):  Kyosuke's   
   grandfather brings home a magic rope which can switch the souls of two   
   people holding either end.  Kyosuke gets switched with the pet goldfish,   
   and is later transferred into Jingoro's (the cat) body.  As a cat, he is   
   picked up by Madoka and Hikaru.  [AM]   
      
      Luna (SAILOR MOON):  Normally a talking cat, Luna assumes human form   
   once during SAILOR MOON S.  [GM, RK]   
      
      Nia (DEARS):  Nia is a junior member of the "Biters", the enforcement   
   arm of the DearS slave hierarchy. She's as human-appearing as any other   
   DearS but her gloves and boots resemble cats' paws, and she wears a   
   headpiece that both suggests cat ears and wraps her hair into a long   
   "tail".  Hyper-energetic and genki beyond human conception, she has a   
   serious attention deficit problem.  [CS]   
      
      Shampoo (RANMA 1/2):  Probably one of the best-known nekojin,   
   although she's not technically one.  Shampoo was affected by the pools   
   at Jusenkyo.  When splashed with cold water, she turns into a small pink   
   cat with an attitude.  Hot water changes her back, as it does for other   
   RANMA 1/2 characters.  [AM]   
      At one point in the manga, Shampoo becomes an actual nekojin for a   
   short time.  Was this manga story animated?  [RK]   
      
      Shihouin Yoruichi (BLEACH):  A cat that can assume human form.  [GM]   
      
      Yucie (PETITE PRINCESS YUCIE):  Yucie spends much of one episode as a   
   cat.  [GM]

   * The cat-girl in ANGEL TAILS, and her wannabe boyfriend, the Tiger of   
     the 4 saint beasts  [GM]   
   * One of the mecha pilots from KANNADZUKI NO MIKO:  "she's   
     stereotypically kawaii to almost the point of being superdeformed, but   
     doesn't quite manage to pull it off believably; and, par for the   
     course for that particular group of mecha pilots, she's   
     consciencelessly homicidal (albeit in a childishly cute way)."  [Wn]
