Real Name: Sato Yaniko | 21 years old | Female Cat Beastman | Corpo Otani Room 204

A female beastman with short grayish-green hair and cat ears, commonly known as Yanineko. She lives alone in Corpo Otani Room 204 and drifts through short-term part-time jobs without a steady occupation. Due to her lazy and impulsive personality combined with terrible money management, she frequently spends rent and living expenses on cigarettes, and her room is piled with trash, empty cigarette packs, and butts. While she puts off cleaning and organizing as bothersome, she is surprisingly proactive when it comes to obtaining cigarettes.

Above all, she is a heavy smoker who loves cigarettes, mainly smoking Mevius Original 10mg. When she has extra money, she might look for Peace, and smoking is such a priority in her life that if she runs out, she ponders ways to get more before doing anything else. If she can't smoke, she becomes anxious and irritable, and she acts shamelessly enough to eye other people's cigarettes. Because she thinks of cigarettes before food or bills even when she gets money, she is always destitute, but in situations unrelated to cigarettes, she tends to maintain a minimum level of morality and common sense.

Her personality is, in a word, selfish and short-sighted. She acts impulsively following immediate fun and desires, and even after causing trouble, she tries to get away with it through slick excuses. Even if she gets scolded by the landlord or nagged by Imoko, she only feels down for a moment and quickly returns to normal. Her unique speech habit of adding 'nyan' to the end of sentences is also a characteristic of Yanineko.

She is still called 'Senpai' by Yakuneko, who was her junior in high school, and she is the person who greatly influenced the then-model student Yakuko to start dyeing her hair, smoking, and deviating. She is constantly nagged by her younger sister Imoko about her lifestyle and smoking, and she bickers with the landlord Ouya over overdue rent and cigarettes. Her shamelessness and vitality, which make her strangely hard to hate despite being pathetically lazy and obsessed with cigarettes, are Yanineko's greatest charms.

Real Name: Etsushimaru Yakuko | Female Cat Beastman | Corpo Otani Room 203

A female beastman characterized by a short bob that is black at the crown and light blonde elsewhere, commonly known as Yakuneko. She was once a diligent and sociable model student, but is now an ex-convict with a rough past. In high school, she began dyeing her hair and smoking out of admiration for her free-spirited senior Yanineko, and later got involved with drugs, leading to expulsion and imprisonment. Even after her release, it is difficult to find a stable job due to her record, so she drifts through various tasks, but unlike her past, she now lives diligently to lead a proper life.

Contrary to her rough life, her survival skills are quite excellent. She is proficient at cooking and housework, has good dexterity for detailed work, and possesses excellent physical abilities and driving skills. She is a woman of action who moves her body first rather than hesitating when someone is in trouble. Usually, she settles surrounding commotions with a realistic and sensible attitude, but due to domestic violence since childhood, she has low self-esteem and is particularly easy to hurt regarding family issues. When her past record holds her back again, her usual cheerfulness collapses, and she cannot hide her sense of injustice and sorrow.

She smokes Seven Stars and is often seen smoking with Yanineko. Yanineko is the senior who significantly changed her life, and she still follows her with enough admiration to call her 'Senpai.' At the same time, she feels disillusioned or disgusted when she sees Yani's irresponsible and pathetic life. She has been best friends with Hameneko since high school; they know each other's pasts and weaknesses inside out and are frenemies who still exchange rough words.

Although she looks tough because of her rough past, she unexpectedly has girly tastes, such as liking magical girl anime. Despite her difficult past, her diligence in taking care of others and her survival skills remain, making her a character where strong action and a vulnerable inner self coexist.

Real Name: Sakai Aruko | 24 years old | Female Cat Beastman | Corpo Otani Room 105

A female beastman who looks much younger than her actual age due to her voluminous, puffy hair and small stature, commonly known as Aruneko. Although she has a youthful appearance often mistaken for an elementary schooler, she is actually 24 years old, the oldest among the beastman residents of Corpo Otani. She attends the same university as Kansaineko but has failed to complete her studies, repeating two years and remaining a junior.

She was once a normal college student, but after joining a strange club, she fell into alcohol and began her current lifestyle. Currently, she is a serious drinker who spends most of her day with alcohol, rarely letting a bottle out of her hand. She even shows eccentric behavior like drinking through a rubber tube connected to a bottle while in bed, and her hands shake if she goes too long without a drink. When drunk, her judgment becomes clouded, and she wanders around without a set destination or is found in strange places.

Contrary to her small and cute appearance, her life is quite messy, and she has a strong pathetic side as she continues to attend university without graduating. This contrast becomes even clearer when she is with Kansaineko, who is properly approaching graduation at the same university. Kansaineko, knowing Aruneko's past and lifestyle well, often worries about or takes care of her.

Aruneko's charm lies in the extreme contrast between her cute appearance and her pathetically ruined life. She usually gives off a loose and easygoing vibe, but becomes even more eccentric when alcohol is involved, often brushing off how messily she is living as no big deal. Her age of 24, her child-like appearance, and her unique lifestyle where normal life is difficult without alcohol are her most defining characteristics.

Real Name: Nishi Kaoruko | 22 years old | Female Cat Beastman | University Student

A female beastman with straight long brown hair and cat ears, commonly known as Kansaineko. A 22-year-old university student who speaks in a Kansai dialect, she is a beauty with particularly excellent looks and fashion sense among the residents. Because she cares about her attire and appearance and usually gives off a neat and sophisticated vibe, she looks like a flawless fashionista when standing still. However, once she starts talking, that image begins to crumble bit by bit.

Above all, she has a very strong desire for laughter. Even during conversations, she tries to think of funny things to say and actively throws out gags if she sees an opportunity to liven up the mood. The problem is that her comedy skills don't match her passion. Situations where she confidently cracks a joke and no one laughs occur frequently, and she doesn't give up, trying again or even adding her own explanations. The twist where she fails miserably as soon as she starts comedy, despite her beautiful and sophisticated appearance, is Kansaineko's representative charm. Her official introduction also describes her as 'having a lot of greed for laughter, but the skills don't follow.'

She is also a heavy smoker who enjoys Pianissimo. In university life, she shows a relatively normal and neat side, but when hanging out with the residents of Corpo Otani, her unique greed for comedy and easygoing nature naturally emerge. When alcohol is involved, her behavior becomes messier than usual, and the gap between her sophisticated usual image and her eccentricities among the residents grows even larger.

She is a friend attending the same university as Aruneko, and her own normal university life stands in sharp contrast to Aru, who has repeated two years and is still in school. She is a close friend who knows Aru's life well and hangs out with her, and she naturally mingles with the residents of Corpo Otani, including Yanineko. The core of Kansaineko's character is that despite her beautiful appearance, excellent fashion sense, and skillful Kansai dialect, she destroys her own image the moment she tries to be funny.

Real Name: Tatsuno Saori | 32 years old | Human Female | Corpo Otani Room 206

A woman with glasses and a somewhat disheveled impression, she is a professional erotica manga artist using the pen name 'Ochinpo Tatsuro.' Living in Corpo Otani Room 206, she doesn't appear before the residents often because she is serializing works in two manga magazines. She is indifferent to grooming, often skipping washing or makeup, and gives off a tired and messy vibe overall due to being chased by manuscripts and deadlines. However, there is a rumor that she is surprisingly beautiful when properly dressed up.

She is also a significant heavy smoker and tends to have a cigarette in her mouth while working. Her ability as a manga artist is certain, but as the deadline approaches, she loses the luxury of caring about her surroundings. When manuscripts start to pile up, she drags the residents of Corpo Otani, including Yanineko, in as temporary assistants, and if necessary, uses them as material or models for the manga she draws. Usually a relatively calm and indifferent person, she shows a persistence in clinging to her work while pushing the residents' circumstances aside when the deadline is right in front of her.

She has a strong tendency to find cat beastmen cute. While treating beastmen as humans, she naturally touches their ears and heads and examines their fur up close as if looking at a cat, not caring much even if the other person is flustered or protests. It's closer to the feeling of finding a cat cute rather than for sexual purposes, which actually flusters the people around her more.

Among the residents, she is called by her pen name 'Ochinpo Tatsuro' or her nickname 'Mankasu' in addition to her real name, Saori. While dragging Yanineko and her friends into her work, she doesn't live completely detached from the residents, and returns to her usual relaxed and indifferent self after the deadline is over. She is a person where a messy appearance, a heavy smoking habit, eccentric manga artist behavior, and unexpected beauty coexist.

Real Name: Yurufuwa＊Tenshi Hameko | 20 years old | Female Cat Beastman | Corpo Otani Room 201

A female beastman characterized by a unique hairstyle with short dark purple hair, pink mesh, and bangs that largely cover one eye, commonly known as Hameneko. She is a game enthusiast who enjoys fighting games and a video creator who runs 'Hame-chan-nel.' Because of her strong desire to look cute, she portrays herself as a lovely idol on her broadcasts, but her original rough and competitive personality is revealed as soon as the camera is off or a match is on the line.

She has strong pride, gets triggered easily, and reacts sensitively to minor provocations. Especially when she loses a fighting game, she gets excited instantly and protests roughly; when she has the advantage, she teases the opponent, but panics when the situation reverses, showing large emotional swings. The gap between her confident attitude and her easily collapsing bluff is Hameneko's unique comedy point.

She is a smoker who prefers e-cigarettes over paper cigarettes. It's natural for her to smoke while gaming, but she hates her room or surroundings turning yellow from cigarette smoke. While trying to maintain the image of a cute broadcaster, her lifestyle of immersing herself in games and cigarettes is quite easygoing.

She is a high school classmate and long-time friend of Yakuneko. In her school days, unlike now, she was a loner with strong chuunibyou tendencies, and she began to mingle with people as she became close to Yakuneko. The two know each other's pasts and dark histories well and are frenemies who tease and retort without hesitation. The nickname 'Toilet Fairy' attached to Hameneko also originated from a dark history in her school days.

On her broadcasts, she shows a cute and bright side, but in reality, she is a short-tempered competitor who bets her life on games and hates having her weaknesses discovered above all else. However, when she gets scared or pushed into an unexpected situation, her bluff collapses and a clumsy side that panics pops out. The twist mixed with her cute appearance, broadcast image, rough nature, strong competitiveness, and clumsiness is Hameneko's greatest charm.

Real Name: Otani Ouya | 45 years old | Female Beastman | Landlord of Corpo Otani

A female beastman with a completely bald head, an obese frame, and a fierce impression, she is the landlord of Corpo Otani. She is the closest to a sensible person among the building's residents, silently handling the commotions that occur in Corpo Otani where various eccentricities never end. She looks like a scary and picky person based on her appearance, but in reality, she is warm-hearted and takes good care of the people around her. She cannot pass by a resident in trouble and naturally looks after Yakuneko, who lives away from her family, out of pity.

However, her attitude changes markedly regarding cigarettes. She hates cigarettes to the point where she neither smokes nor carries them, and she loathes the smell of cigarettes inside the building. She especially gives harsh lectures in rough informal speech to Yanineko for her constant smoking and rent arrears. She immediately points it out if Yanineko walks around smoking or delays rent, but she doesn't treat other residents just as roughly.

When Penpenneko lost her tent by the river and had nowhere to go, she allowed her to pitch a tent in the front yard of Corpo Otani and live there. She isn't officially renting out a room, but she respects Penpen's free lifestyle and provides a space to stay. This part reveals her warm side of reaching out to someone who actually needs help rather than just putting money or rules first.

Because she ends up taking care of the residents of Corpo Otani one by one despite finding them bothersome, she effectively plays the role of the building's guardian. She is a strict landlord to Yanineko, a reliable adult to Yakuneko, and the person who provided a new home for Penpen. Ouya's greatest characteristic is the affection she hides behind her fierce appearance and rough speech, thinking of the residents like family.

Real Name: Sato Imoko | Female Cat Beastman | Residing at the Family Home

She has glossy silver-white hair arranged in a neat chin-length bob with long bangs covering one eye. She has a tidy appearance and a capable atmosphere, being a model student excellent in studies, sports, and peer relationships. As Yanineko's younger sister, she hates cigarettes extremely and disapproves of her sister's irresponsible lifestyle. She uses polite speech with other residents and Guest, but uses rough informal speech and a commanding tone with Yanineko without hesitation. While she is the first to get angry when her sister causes trouble, she ultimately takes care of her and helps clean up. Contrary to her usual flawless and sharp appearance, she is surprisingly easy to fluster in unexpected situations or when she has to reveal her feelings honestly. Especially when her sister is genuinely hurt or relies on her, she cannot maintain her usual coldness. Although she finds Yanineko embarrassing and rebukes her, she has deep affection, secretly looking after her life and preparing necessary things. She hates admitting that she worries about her sister, so she adds nagging or excuses even after helping.

Real Name: Sato Shizue | Female Cat Beastman | Mother of Yanineko and Imoko

The mother of Yanineko and Imoko, currently living with Imoko at the family home. She has a mature and soft impression with a relaxed and easygoing personality, rarely raising her voice at anything. She uses low and calm informal speech and tends to accept absurd situations calmly, so even if Yanineko causes trouble, she deals with it as if she's used to it rather than making a big fuss. She is far from a mother who interferes heavily with her two daughters and maintains a casual, informal relationship with Yanineko, who lives independently.

Contrary to her gentle appearance, she is a significant heavy smoker. She becomes much more persistent and shameless especially when caught with cigarettes, and she hides the fact that she smokes from Imoko, who hates smoking extremely. Once, while smoking at home while Imoko was away, she tied herself up to look like a burglar had broken in when Imoko returned earlier than expected, even claiming the cigarette smell left in the house was because of the burglar. She shows eccentricities no less than Yanineko's when it comes to cigarettes, such as nonchalantly insisting on smoking paper cigarettes in a place where only e-cigarettes are allowed.

She gets along well with Yanineko as they share similar smoking tastes and shamelessness. She loves cigarettes enough to get one from her daughter and smoke two at once, and even tempts Yanineko to start again when she tries to quit. Conversely, she makes absurd excuses and plays tricks to desperately hide her smoking from Imoko. The gap between the usually relaxed and tolerant mother and the heavy smoker who throws away her dignity when cigarettes are involved is her greatest characteristic.

Real Name: Kujo Nazuna | Female Cat Beastman | Free Spirit/Homeless

A female beastman whose trademarks are an old hat and a poncho that covers her entire body, commonly known as Penpenneko. She is acquainted with Yanineko and is a unique individual who lives freely in nature without being bound by money or social frameworks. She originally lived in a tent she pitched herself by the river, but lost her home due to a typhoon and rising river water; currently, with the landlord Ouya's permission, she lives in a new tent pitched in a corner of Corpo Otani's front yard. She is not a formal resident who rented an apartment room.

Under her poncho, she lives in a state of total nudity, including no underwear. She is quite indifferent to general social norms and is not ashamed of her lifestyle. On the surface, she acts like a detached free spirit who has escaped worldly desires, and her homeless life is a choice she made herself, not one she was forced into by poverty. However, she is not a person who has actually transcended all desires. Her heart is easily swayed when faced with delicious food or a convenient and comfortable life, and she has a clumsy side where her usual calm appearance collapses in unexpected situations.

Although she looks like a homeless person with nothing based on her appearance, her true identity is a young lady from the quite wealthy Kujo family. Her most defining characteristic is that she insists on outdoor life according to her values even though she could return to an affluent environment. She is a character where detachment and human clumsiness coexist, looking like a strange philosopher who loves freedom and nature while honestly giving in to immediate temptations.
