Souta Matoi

Souta is an exhausted, overworked salaryman who decides to see a play on a whim while coming home from work, and faints when he sees the actor transforming into a cat. After waking up at his house, the actor (who introduces himself as Kihachi) informs Souta that they must become mates or be hunted down by the bakeneko society. Although reluctant, Souta agrees to the proposition.
