    1. What does Neko mean?

      This word is usually used in the anime world for expressing cuteness and cat-like actions. In Japanese, Neko itself means cat; thus, it can be used for cats and characters in anime with cat-like features. The catgirl in anime is said to be Neko.

    2. Where was it first used?

      This word has been used in Japan for ages now. The catgirl (Neko) character appeared for the first time in a Japanese manga series Kenji Miyazawa’s in 1924.

      It was later after World War II when the Americans embraced it for the first time in the 80s. After the war, the American presence in the Japanese region increased a lot, which drew their attention towards anime and Neko. After that, they created some iconic characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

    5. Japan’s history with Neko
