Gegege no Kitaro - Neko Musume - Gegege Collection (Bandai)Neko Musume · Bandai

Bandai presents Neko Musume as part of the Gegege Collection, based on the long-running supernatural series Gegege no Kitaro. Neko Musume is a cat hanyo — a half-yokai — and a core member of the Kitaro Family. She possesses abilities including a Bake-Neko form, razor-sharp claws, and cat-like reflexes. Known for her romantic interest in the series protagonist Kitaro, she has a fondness for fish and a strong dislike for the trickster Nezumi-Otoko. First appearing in the manga in 1967 and the anime in 1968, Neko Musume has undergone significant visual evolution across six anime adaptations, with her design becoming progressively more human and feminine over the decades. In the sixth and most recent anime series, Neko Musume appears as an attractive teenager with purple hair tied in a bun, wearing her iconic pink bow and red heels. This Bandai Gegege Collection figure captures her distinctive character design from the franchise's long history.
