Trivia

- 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 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.
- A spinning coin may also be a reference to the spinning coins of the Mario Series.
- The cute and simple design and her general shape may also be inspired by the popular Sanrio mascots, such as Hello Kitty.
