Mikazuki San comes for the egg night bed, perching on top of out even when other cars are inside. Could the Japanese name have something to do with Mikazuki Munechika? Hermeowne of course is from Hermione (Harry Potter). I had bonito bitz out when she came.
Personality: quiet / docile
Physical characteristic: wizard hat
Memento: small glass bottle – there is soft and tiny powder inside
Shinobu San seems to like sashimi and the deluxe tuna bitz. He doesn’t play with the items but appears somewhere in the background.
Personality: elusive
Physical characteristic: ninja outfit
Top 3 goods: scouting duties, espionage activities
Memento: origami shrunken- a shuriken folded very nicely with Japanese paper.

I much prefer Bengal Jack’s Japanese name – Roger, which I think is more appropriate for a pirate 🙂
Personality: tendency towards water
Physical characteristic: pirate
Treasure: an old map – a discolored goat skin map
Roger comes for the red treasure chest and seems to like Bonito Blitz.
I find it funny when there’s a cat in the red treasure chest, it looks like Roger “discovered” cat treasure! Haha
I think Sebasu is short for Sebastian, which seems like a typical ‘Japanese English’ name for a butler…hahah. He always seems to appear with Sapphire San, and stays slightly longer than her.
Physical characteristic: side parting
Personality: lightning speed
Treasure: a silver pocket watch – a wind up type pocket watch. Although it’s an antique, it shows the correct time.
Here is Sebasu San with Sapphire San under the Märchen parasol:
And here he is with her again on the sweets tower:
Sapphire San looks so ladylike doesn’t she! She comes for the Märchen parasol and sweets tower. By the way, ‘Märchen’ means folk tale/fairy tale, which explains the new sweets garden (sorta like the gingerbread house in Hansel & Gretel) and the sweets items. She seems to always turn up with Sebasu San in tow, but leaves slightly earlier than him. She seems to have a preference for deluxe tuna bitz.
Physical characteristic: Siamese (cat)
Personality: (literally lady in a box) a girl who has led a sheltered life
Treasure: a favourite collection of poems – although the written contents are not understood, there are beautiful cat illustrations.

Sapphire San on the sweets tower with Sebasu San:
Don’t you think they look like the groom and bride dolls on top of a wedding cake? Well except that he has a towel over his arm like a butler hahaha.
Yuki Neko San came for winter! Yuki means snow. Yuki Neko San mainly comes for the Shirayuki (white snow) zabuton. Yuki Neko San likes sashimi but will also come for Frisky Bitz. From my experience, Yuki Neko San likes it when there’s snow in the garden.
Physical characteristic: straw coat (search minoboushi to find out more if you like)
Personality: brittle / fragile
Treasure: snowman that doesn’t melt – a snowman that totally doesn’t look like it will melt although when you touch it it feels cold.
Here’s Yuko Neko San on the shirayuki zabuton.
When Yuki Neko San is indoors he doesn’t have the straw coat on.
Here’s Yuki Neko San on the thick cool cushion.

I heard Yuki Neko San comes for the chirimen zabuton, momiji zabuton and blizzard tent but I haven’t verified it.
Kid San is awfully cute! It’s funny cause when you type in katakana to get his name, you have to type ‘kiddo’. LOL.
Physical characteristic: neckerchief
Personality: nihilistic
Treasure: antique coin – an old beautiful coin with carving. Both sides of the coin look the same.
He comes for the Western hat.
Tatejima (vertical stripes) San looks like he’s wearing a Hanshin Tigers uniform. I read on Neko Atsume’s twitter feed that many people misunderstand that he’s holding a baseball bat, it’s actually a microphone! Tatejima San comes to the neko atsume garden to…stare at the baseball. hahaha.
Physical characteristic: vertical stripes
Personality: enthusiastic
Treasure: signed ball – a baseball that looks like it’s been autographed on
Here’s Tatejima San looking at the baseball –
Is Nagagutsu San the neko atsume version of puss in boots? Could very well be since Nagagutsu (literally long shoes) means boots. Nagagutsu San only comes for the mouse wand toy thingy.
Physical characteristic: small moustache
Personality: strategist
Treasure: a hat with feather – a small beautiful hat with a water bird feather
Here’s Nagagutsu San looking all dashing with his sword through the mouse toy!
