Kuruneko

Kuruneko (くるねこ) is the pen name of a Japanese manga artist and blogger, as well as the title of their popular blog and manga series. The series, often referred to simply as Kuruneko Yamato (くるねこヤマト), chronicles their daily life living with and caring for multiple stray cats in Japan. The manga is known for its humorous and heartwarming depiction of feline behavior and the challenges and joys of cat ownership.

The name "Kuruneko" itself is a combination of the Japanese word "kuru" (来る), meaning "to come," and "neko" (猫), meaning "cat." This reflects the central theme of stray cats "coming" into the artist's life.

The Kuruneko Yamato manga has been adapted into an anime television series, further expanding its audience. The artist's work is widely recognized and celebrated within the cat-loving community in Japan and internationally. They are known for promoting responsible pet ownership and highlighting the importance of animal welfare. Their blog features illustrations, personal anecdotes, and observations about their cats, offering insights into feline companionship.
