shigoto neko

Illustrations by Kumamine, centered around sketchy-looking cats who are working.

Born out of the viral popularity of Denwa Neko (PhoneCat), originally drawn in 2016. Denwa Neko would be adopted by Futaba Channel and turned into Genba Neko (SiteworkerCat), now depicted wearing a yellow hard hat with a green cross on it, and doing the now-iconic "Okay! (Yoshi!)" pose. Kumamine would remake the character as Shigoto Neko (WorkCat), and depict the hard hat in white with a paw print logo on it, for legal reasons as to be able to market the character (such as LINE stickers and collabs with other brands and local governments).
