Legend goes that the god Tsyukio, lord of the Spirit Lands hand need of an assistant, and so he molded a small creature from the soft clouds of the sky into a cat. This cat was the first Nekomata, after years of helping the god, the small cat asked his master if he might have a reward. Curious, the god asked him what it is his friend would want? The cat said that he wished for friends, and to never be alone again. It is with this wish the Nekomata race came into being, and the small assistant was never alone again.
