Cat-Eyed Boy (Manga)	comment	Created by Kazuo Umezu in 1967, Cat Eyed Boy tells the story of the title boy with cat's eyes, an especially human-looking son of a nekomata (who was forced to abandon his son to the care of a childless human woman since other monsters considered Cat Eyed Boy's human looks to be a disgrace and wanted him to be killed) who wanders from place to place, hiding in people's attics and witnessing gruesome supernatural happenings wherever he goes, occasionally helping and occasionally making things worse. No matter which he does, he will be shunned and feared by people who see him.In 1976, a 22-episode anime adaptation of the manga aired on TV Tokyo. A live-action movie Cat-Eyed Boy of the series was produced in 2006.

Cat-Eyed Boy (Manga) / int_2a015a74	comment	Beauty Equals Goodness: Deconstructed with the Ugly Demon. He is so ugly that everyone sans his father reacts to him with violent disgust, and it's this - not the ugliness itself - that's driven him to spitefulness.

Cat-Eyed Boy (Manga) / int_3c7d0418	comment	Doom Magnet: Wherever Cat Eyed Boy goes, strange happenings seem to always occur. Though they're rarely directly related to him, so in his case it's more so an instance of having consistently terribly unlucky.

Cat-Eyed Boy (Manga) / int_3eb9e19f	comment	Child of Two Worlds: Cat Eyed Boy is implied to be half-human and half-yokai, but unfortunately this meant he was never welcome among either population ever since he was born — to humans he's too monstrous to be accepted by them, and to yokai his humanity is repulsive.

Ironically, his one weakness is being in an environment of complete darkness since, as Cat Eyed Boy puts it, a distinct shadow can't exist in a place with no light to cast one.

Ironically enough this is subverted for the group, since according to Komodo, all of the members are actually human, just with features so strange they border on being supernatural.

Cat-Eyed Boy (Manga) / int_e8e56799	comment	Blue-and-Orange Morality: Due to being ostracized by humans and monsters alike, Cat Eyed Boy's morals are mostly self-serving. Most of the time, if an antagonistic force garners him getting involved to stop it, it's less because he's trying to do the right thing and more because he personally wants the bad guy dealt with, especially if they have any ill will towards him. It just so happens that most of the threats he encounters are much more evil than he is, so it usually works out to him helping save the day anyway. At the same time, he does apparently have some lines he won't cross. While he has no qualms with tormenting innocent people with his mischief, he won't seriously physically harm them unless it's in self-defense. He also shows some semblance of genuine heroism every once in a while, such as when he saves a baby from an incoming tsunami for no real benefit to himself.
