Kagechiyo in the manga
Kagechiyo (影千代) is Kemuzou Kemumaki's ninja cat.
Storylines[]
Kagechiyo was sent on a mission to steal fruits for his master. He did so, but young Kenichi Mitsuba was framed for the thefts. He was eventually exposed and got told off by Kemumaki.
Physical appearance[]
Kagechiyo is a black and white cat with the Koga ninja symbol on his forehead. He also has rather large teeth and speaks in a shrill, hoarse voice. Additionally, he has a scarf, which he sees as a lucky charm.
Personality and traits[]
Kagechiyo in the 2012 anime
Kagechiyo is a fierce, gung-ho warrior and a cheeky chappy, often working as Kemumaki's messenger. He often fights alongside his master and is mostly loyal to him. However, Kagechiyo is not as evil as his boss and sometimes helps Hattori with his missions.
Kagechiyo can be superstitious, wearing a scarf for luck. There are several episodes in when he overhears things and reports to his master.
He also has a habit of singing when in a good mood, and like most cats, likes eating fish.
Relationships[]
Master[]
Kagechiyo and Kemumaki have a generally good relationship, looking out for each other and fighting
Kagechiyo tries to console his master
together. However, Kemumaki is irked by Kagechiyo's somewhat talkative nature. He also can be overbearing towards Kagechiyo and makes him do all the housework.
Hattori, Shinzo and Shishimaru[]
Hattori doesn't really like Kagechiyo, given that he serves the Koga ninjas. However, he does help him at times, as does his brother Shinzo.
Given that Shishimaru is a dog, he and Kagechiyo are perfect enemies, often taking part in their own duels.
Kenichi, Yumeko and the Mitsubas[]
Kenichi dislikes Kagechiyo and is mostly prone to his bothering. However, seeing that Yumeko and Mr and Mrs Mitsuba do not know Kemumaki for what he is, they generally treat him well, much to the annoyance of Kenichi.
Quotes[]
- ''Yes Kemumaki boss! Diring Diring!'' (catchphrase)
Skills[]
- Generating electricity: Kagechiyo is good at generating electricity, but only to a limit.
- Ninja Techniques: Kagechiyo is relatively good at Ninja Techniques, often using them to fight alongside Kemumaki.
