In a bright playground filled with soft sunlight and gentle colors, a group of cheerful little kittens known as Michi Cat loved to play together every noon. They were round, fluffy, and always smiling, stacking on top of each other like a tiny tower of happiness. Children who passed by would often stop and giggle, saying their name out loud — “Michi Cat… Michi Cat…” — because it sounded cute and easy to remember.

​

One day, a visitor from Japan watched them playing and wrote their name in katakana: ミチキャット. When everyone saw it, they smiled even more. The name looked smooth and natural, not strange or difficult. It felt like it truly belonged — just as if the kittens had always been part of the language. In Japanese, this feeling is described as 「カタカナ表記・名前として自然」, meaning the name flows naturally and fits perfectly when written in katakana.

​

From then on, Michi Cat was not only a playful group of adorable kittens in a sunny playground, but also a name that crossed cultures with ease. Whether spoken in English or written in Japanese, their identity remained warm, friendly, and welcoming — just like the sunlight that shone over them every day.
