**Neko** **(ねこ, Neko)** is a timid calico cat. They are the 3rd Sumikko to arrive at the corner.

## Appearance

Neko resembles a chubby calico cat. It has a small and short tail with a beige ring around the top, and a sizeable tan circle and a smaller brown circle on his back. When it was young and living with its siblings, it looked like a normal cat, less chubby and fluffy. When it was a baby, it was a lot rounder and fluffier.

## Personality

Neko is a glutton and enjoys food and eating. They are shy and weak-willed. Because of its weak disposition it often gives away the corner spot. They get embarrassed easily. They take everyone's needs into consideration.

## Favorites

### Food

* Rice balls (Onigiri)
* Cat grass
* Canned cat food
* Fish

However, Neko does not like mandarins because of its trauma from their origin story.

### Places To Hide

Neko is always hiding somewhere because it relaxes it.

## History

Neko was the 3rd sumikko to arrive at the corner.

Neko and their two siblings, Neko (Gray) and Neko (Tabby) were all put out in a mandarin box to find new homes. Neko, who is always hungry, ate a lot as a kitten and grew plump before his siblings did. Its siblings were given homes while the round Neko was overlooked. As time passed Neko became a stray cat. As a stray, Neko made it a point to water the plants around them and soon Zassou grew out of the weeds. Once its roots (that are its legs) were grown, Zassou ran off to the corner, where Neko was introduced to the other Sumikkos.

Neko reunited with its siblings in Episode 16 who had grown to be as round as Neko. They reunite once again, in Episode 32 when they bump into each other while checking out the new Patisserie Sumikko.

When it arrived to the corner, Penguin?and Tonkatsu appointed it as treasurer because it owned a wallet.

## Description

Neko worries about its body shape.

It dreams of being a cat with a slim body and a long tail. With a clear body goal in mind, Neko has a deep insecurity of its weight. Sometimes this would interfere with their enjoyment of canned food.
