Nekogahara: Stray Cat Samurai (猫ヶ原, Nekogahara) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiroyuki Takei. It was serialized in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Shōnen Magazine Edge from September 2015 to April 2018.
Set in an alternative version of Feudal Japan inhabited by anthropomorphic Persian cats. Norachiyo's bell hangs from his katana sheath, but he is nonetheless a stray—a rōnin, as he travels across a dishonest world, cutting through pretense and deception with his blade.
