Nai-Nai

Nai-Nai is a shy orange cousin with the universe inside her. She is a box-like cousin who rarely shows her face. She was first introduced in Me & My Katamari then returns to Beautiful Katamari and Katamari Forever. Her face may show up when she is in a good mood, or when being extra careful, as shown by her animations when she rolls the katamari in Me & My Katamari.
== Appearance ==
Nai-Nai's body is a box with a yellow-to-orange gradient and she has navy blue legs. Her face is on the lid's inner side. The inside of her box body seemingly contains a universe.

==Trivia==
*In Me & My Katamari, if Nai-Nai wears the armor it will resemble Drooby's torso.
*She can be found in Dangerous Colony and Make a Star - Danger in Beautiful Katamari and Katamari Forever. She is seen standing on the space shuttle island.
**She can be rolled up at 300m.
*Nai-Nai is seen in an earlier Amazing Katamari Damacy along with a handful of other cousins, despite not providing any abilities.
*Though the games usually use she/her pronouns for Nai-Nai, the Beautiful Katamari Matching Game and the Cousin Leaderboard uses he/him pronouns for Nai-Nai.
*Nai-Nai's description from the Beautiful Katamari Matching Game when translated reads: "I'm really bad at talking to people. When I feel really good, I look up, but usually I keep my head down. A cousin who hides everything in her belly."
*Fans have theorized multiple explanations for her name's origins. These include: 
**Nai-Nai's name is most likely a reference to the way 'peekaboo' is said in Japanese, 'いないいないばあ'. This would make sense because her face closes and reappears, just like how one would play peekaboo.
**The "N" and "ai" in her name may allude to Bandai-Namco, the publishers of the series. Her color scheme and the fact that she holds a universe inside her further implies a connection between the two.
**Nai-Nai's name could also be a pun on the Mandarin term for one's paternal grandmother, 奶奶 [Pinyin: nǎinai]. This plays into the fact that she literally contains the universe.
