Nekoin (ネコイン) is an effect NPC that can be found in Shield-Folk World. It grants Madotsuki the Cat effect.

Overview

Nekoin resembles a pink, cat-shaped coin with a cat face on both sides. It has two dark red eyes and little violet eyelashes that stick out a little when viewed from the side. It floats above the ground, continuously spinning.

Nekoin inhabits Shield-Folk World, initially found in the southeastern part of the world, surrounded by several Shield-Folk. However, it is constantly on the move, possibly making it difficult to find within the world's emptier spaces. Due to its constant movement, it is recommended to use the Bicycle effect to catch up to it once it is eventually found. Once caught and interacted with, it will give Madotsuki the Cat effect.

Trivia

Nekoin is the only Yume Nikki character on the front page of KIKIYAMA's website other than Madotsuki herself.
The name "Nekoin" is a portmanteau of "neko" (Japanese for "cat") and "coin".
The Cat effect references the "Maneki-neko" figure, a Japanese talisman supposed to bring good luck and fortune. Nekoin's appearance resembling a coin ties into this, as not only are Maneki-neko often depicted holding a gold coin, but they are also used as coin banks quite often. On top of that, tiny coin offerings are sometimes left near the Maneki-Neko as a request for good luck, fortune, or wish fulfillment.
Nekoin's design resembling a spinning coin may be a reference to the spinning coins of the Super Mario series.

-Nekoin has the appearance of a pink cat-shaped coin with a cat face on both sides. She has two dark red eyes and little violet eyelashes that stick out a little when viewed from the side. She is constantly on the move and spins around quickly. By interacting with her [[Madotsuki]] will receive the [[Effects|Cat Effect]] . It's hard to catch her because she is so fast. That's why using the [[Effects|Stoplight Effect]] or the [[Effects|Bike Effect]] when trying to catch her is recommended. She shows a normal reaction to the [[Effects|Cat Effect]]. She can be found in a random point of the [[Shield-Folk World]].

Nekoin's appearance resembling a coin ties into this, as not only were Maneki-neko often depicted holding a gold coin, but they were also used as coin banks much like a piggy bank. On top of that, tiny coin offerings were sometimes left near the figures as a request for good luck, fortune or for wish fulfillment.

-*The cute and simple design and her general shape may also be inspired by the popular Sanrio mascots, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_Kitty Hello Kitty].
