**Kusatta-san** (Japanese: 腐ったさん) is the main antagonist of Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls Mayonaka. He is a fan character by Mayonaka creator ShonenJump94.

## Appearance

Kusatta-san is a tall, muscular inu with short, spiky red hair that extends up his head and pale burgundy eyes. He has long brown dog ears and a brown tail. It’s unknown what type of inu he is, but he is likely a bloodhound.

At the start of Mayonaka, Kusatta-san wears a long, dark gray robe with a hood, along with an orange mask with black stripes to cover his face. Underneath the robe and mask is a dark gray fighting suit similar to a gi. The suit’s top is a sleeveless V-neck, the bottom has a drape that goes to his knees (though sometimes it's pants), and it was equipped with a light gray belt and socks. To finish the look, Kusatta wore grayish brown wrist cuffs and boots.

## Personality

Kusatta-san is a cold and brutish inu, with a deep hatred for nekos and inus due to his history of being abused. His hatred is made clear in the way he speaks and fights. However, in regards to other inus and important people in his life, Kusatta-san is more sentimental and empathetic. For the Kami Inu, he is devoted and determined.

## Name Etymology

Kusatta (腐った) is the Japanese translation of “rotten”, though other meanings relate to words such as “corrupt” and “foul”. As Kusatta-san was manipulated by The Kami Inu and he’s devoted to commit mass genocide on nekos and humans, the name is fitting to his actions.

## Backstory

When first seen in Mayonaka, Kusatta-san is a mysterious man who dug up Raku-chan’s grave and resurrected her for seemingly unknown reasons. But after confronting the neko and fighting Nurse-sama numerous times, it’s revealed that Kusatta-san resurrected her because she is the new Kami Neko’s Champion, a warrior chosen by The Kami Neko to destroy The Kami Inu and potentially wipe out the inu race. As such, he used bits of her energy to bring back The Kami Inu to wipe out all nekos and humans.

In spite of Kusatta-san’s heinous actions, his reasons for enacting his mission comes from a place of tragedy. His whole life, Kusatta-san was one of many inus beaten and abused by humans and nekos. He dealt with unbearable amounts of hurt and loss, including the death of his own parents. But during this time, he was able to make one friend that he unfortunately had to leave for his own safety: Nurse-sama.
