“Nyaite of the Living Cat” will start airing in July 2013! A cast of “cat lovers” such as Mizunaka Masaaki, Ueda Reina, and Kawashima Reiji gathers together, “I’m going to become a cat too!!!”
Welcome back to the I Am Anime website
The broadcast date for the TV anime “Nyaite of the Living Cat” has been decided. It will air on TV Tokyo, BS TV Tokyo, and other channels from July 2025. The second teaser PV has also been announced, with the main cast members including Mizunaka Masaaki, Ueda Reina, Kawashima Reiji, Serizawa Yu, Kimura Subaru, Nakajima Yoshiki, Yasumoto Hiroki, and Takeuchi Ryota.

“Nyaite of the Living Cat” is based on a manga currently being serialized on “Monthly Comic Garden” and on the web manga site “MagComi.” The story takes place in the near future, when a virus transforms humans that come into contact with cats into cats, causing “meats” to occur all over the world. It depicts the struggles of humanity as cats become swayed by cats and become cats one after another.
The general director is Miike Takashi, who is said to be a master of violence. The director is Kamiya Tomohiro, who directed “MIX MEISEI STORY: Second Summer, Beyond the Sky,” and the animation production is done by OLM.
The TV anime will start airing on TV Tokyo, BS TV Tokyo and other channels in July. Advance distribution via ABEMA and distribution via various services will also be available. The second teaser PV depicts cats controlling the Earth through a Nyandemic. Will humanity be able to survive in a panic-filled world?

The main cast members were also selected to love cats. The main character, Kunagi, is played by Mizunaka Masaaki, who says that although he owns a dog, he also likes cats. Ueda Reina, who lives with two cats, plays the role of Kaoru, who acts with Kunagi.
In addition, they cast popular voice actors such as Kawashima Reiji, Serizawa Yu, Kimura Subaru, Nakajima Yoshiki, Yasumoto Hiroki, and Takeuchi Ryota. Comments were also released in conjunction with the release of the information.
1. Please give us your feelings when you were selected for the role and a message to those who are looking forward to this work.
2. This work features cats, but what would you do if “Nyandemic” happened?
[Kunagi role: Mizunaka Masaaki]
He is a cat cafe employee with amnesia and his identity is shrouded in mystery. I love cats. He has superhuman physical abilities.

1. The atmosphere, reactions and cat lovers of Kunagi. I love everything, and would be happy if I could play it myself. I was thinking that, so when it was decided, I was filled with joy. Cats are gods. This is the story of people who live their lives to the fullest, with the greatest love and respect for cats in the Nyandemic. Please look forward to it!
2. For now, they’re chased around about 100 cats, and when the cat jumps at you, you’ll spread your hands and hug them, and you’ll become a happy cat, yes.
[Kaoru: Ueda Reina]
A high school student attending Sazuno High School. I love cats. He works as a store clerk at Megokoro Nekome, a cat cafe run by his older brother.

1. I was very happy when I was informed that I had decided to play Kaoru. All of the residents of this work are kind to cats and do not love cats, and therefore live their lives in agony every day. I hope that human cat love and Uchinoko love will reach all cats through this work!
2. Become a clean cat. I would be happy if I could talk to my cats and live with them…
[Arata: Kawashima Reiji]
A former track and fielder and a ninja-like college student. I love cats. When he was on the verge of turning into a cat, Kunagi saves him and begins to admire him as “Aniki.”

1. For me, who mainly work to post photos of my Cats and Candy Rin on X, I can’t help but…! It was a work I wanted to pass…! ! I’m very happy.
A work called Nyaite! ! It is synonymous with “sucking pussy”! ! !
2. For my candy and rin! Rather than not being able to touch it! ! I’m becoming a cat too! ! ! ! Let’s groom together! ! ! ! ?
[Tsutsumi role: Serizawa Yu]
He attends the same Rustou High School as Kaoru. I love cats. I’m allergic to cats, but sometimes it paves unexpected paths.

1. It was a lot of fun when I met General Manager Miike in person at a studio audition and received direction, and I would be happy if I could join them! ! I want to do it! ! I was so deeply aware of this, so when Tsutsumi was decided, my feelings for the general manager and the cat god were understood, but this love for cats was understood…! ! That’s what I thought. All the characters love cats. It makes me nervous and thrilled, but still soothing. Please look forward to it!
2. I would rather go and become a cat from here! ! ! ! If possible, I would like my cat to be my cat! ! And I want to live happily with the three of them. I want to taste the crispy and churu and eat lots of my favorite fish with the cats!
[Ren: Kimura Subaru]
The eldest son of the Ward family. I love cats. A legendary family that protected their base from cats without sleeping for three days and three nights. He has a physical personality and is a magnificent personality.

1. Since I heard about the setting, as a cat lover, I’ve always thought, “I definitely want to do it!” I was able to create a role in two seconds. The characters are extremely serious, so don’t laugh at them.
2. It’s not bad to become a cat, right? I’d love to experience what Poop Hai is like.
[Masaki role: Nakajima Yoshiki]
The second son of the Ward family. I love cats. A legendary family that protected their base from cats without sleeping for three days and three nights. Smart and popular.

1. This is Nakajima Yoshiki, who will be the voice of Masaki Ward.
It is the ultimate honor to be able to appear in this film and live life with cats! I’m glad I took part in the audition wearing a cat t-shirt!
Every human being has always wanted to be like a cat who spends his time at ease and leisurely. There is, right?
Let’s immerse yourself in the novel and profound work “Nyaite of the Living Cat” where your dreams come true, whether you love cats, or you’re not, or you’re now a servant of cats!
2. You may now become a cat.
I’ve answered questions like, “If I could understand what cats say…”, but you can actually become one. I’d like to have a conversation with my cat. If you have any complaints about what you are thinking, I would like to resolve it. I was already a cat at the time.
[Tanishi role: Yasumoto Hirotaka]
A regular customer at a cat cafe where Kunagi works. I love cats. In a world ruled by cats, he works with Kunagi and Kaoru…

1. I’m happy to be involved in this work, which has a mysterious world that cat lovers suffer from because they love it. My parents’ house was originally a home that looked like an animal mansion, so I hope I can use my experience there effectively lol.
2. I probably can’t resist. So I’m going to become a cat and become a dora cat with a fish in it, and be chased by a wife with a unique hairstyle.
[Raku: Takeuchi Ryota]
He is Kaoru’s older brother, the owner of the cat cafe “Megokoro Nekome”. I love cats. Hires Kunagi, who has lost her memory.

1. When I was chosen to play Gaku, I was so happy I was the first to report to my cats lol. As I read the original, I’m sure I nodded many times, “I understand, I understand…” I want to love you, but I want to be amazed… but… I’ll enjoy the loving conflicts of humans and the cuteness of cats… No, please be afraid!
2. I want to keep trying and keep running away! ! I want to keep watching the cats, even if it’s from afar. And I imagine myself…I love my cat…I’m fluffy. Ah, I have to build up my strength right now…
