Neko Pitcher

The fast-balling feline himself, Neko Pitcher Miitaro is the determined little kitty with his eyes set on the major leagues! The Neko Pitcher comic strip created by Kenji Sonishi runs every Saturday in the The Japan News and in the Yomiuri Shimbun where it recounts the amusing antics of Miitaro— a little white cat who pitches for the Nya-iants—his captain Ikari, the team’s catcher Hirano, and Miitaro’s owner Yuki-chan.

Now you can enjoy the fierce determination of this committed cat in book form as well as in a range of merchandise from plushies to tote bags, cups, socks, cushions, towels, pens, straps, playing cards, toilet paper, and even an actual Neko Pitcher branded baseball too!
