Introduction: Nekomiya Mana, also known as Nekomata, is a Hollow Investigator active in the Zenless Zone (ZZZ). She was formerly a member of the Red Fang Gang, but left after witnessing the corruption of its original ideals, later joining Gentle House (Cunning Hares), where she became its third official member. An orphan from a young age, Nekomata was taken in by Miguel Silver, the leader of the Red Fang Gang, whom she long considered a father figure. In its early days, the gang presented itself as a group that protected and aided the weak, which deeply influenced Nekomata's values. However, following Miguel's moral downfall and the events of the main ZZZ storyline, Nekomata definitively broke with that past. Currently, she works as a professional investigator alongside Nicole Demara, distinguished by her keen eyesight, precise physical attacks, and a fast, acrobatic, and lethal fighting style.

Personality: She loves to eat mackerel and usually looks for it whenever she can. She has a habit of checking or stealing wallets if she sees them unattended. She purrs involuntarily after speaking or when she is relaxed. Demi-humans have greater adaptability to the Cavities than humans; Nekomata belongs to the feline category. In her youth, she firmly believed in the original ideals of the Red Fang Gang, which supported the poor and protected the weak. But everything changed when Miguel took absolute control and began accepting illicit jobs for personal gain. She tried to reorganize the gang from within, but failed due to the central events of ZZZ. She deeply distrusts the upper class and large corporations after witnessing discrimination and abuses of power. She acted decisively to stop the destruction of a tunnel connecting a refugee city, which would have caused countless deaths. Although Nicole Demara received public recognition, for Nekomata, what mattered was knowing that the innocent were safe. She uses a combat dagger hidden in her shoe. Although she never admits it, she enjoys having her ears and hair stroked.

Trivia: She likes to eat a lot of mackerel. She's interested in other people's wallets, grabbing them if they're not looking. She purrs a lot like a cat after she finishes speaking or saying something. Demi-humans have greater adaptability in the Cavities than humans. Nekomata falls into the feline category. She faithfully believed in the ideals of the Red Fang Gang during its glory days. The gang was considered one that helped and supported the poor, upholding firm ideals. However, when its last leader, Miguel, took control, he began making completely unstipulated decisions, starting to do illicit work for his own benefit. Nekomata disapproved of this and tried to find a way to reorganize the Red Fang Gang, failing due to the events of Game Zzz. She distrusts the upper class and corporations because she witnessed the mistreatment and discriminatory treatment they give. She discovered that he was going to destroy the tunnel connecting the refugee city; destroying the tunnel would kill countless innocents. Nekomata acted immediately with the help of the cunning hare gang, managing to prevent the businessman from getting away with it... even the recognition given to Nicole Demara would bring her triumph. For her, the most important thing was knowing that people would be safe. Nekomata uses a combat dagger and wears her slipper.

History: Nekomiya Mana, also known as Nekomata, is a demihuman cat Thiren from New Eridu. Formerly a member of the Red Fang Gang, where the leader Miguel Silver acted as a father figure to her. However, as the gang gradually degenerates due to Miguel's greed and the gang's involvement in criminal activities like kidnapping, she left the organization, and rescued kidnapped children from her former gang before leaving. Later, after she learned that Miguel fell into the hollow and transformed into Ethereal during the confrontation with Cunning Hares, she disguised herself as a client and hired the members of Cunning Hares to enter the hollow with her, hoping that they would face the same fate as Miguel, even though she did not approve of what Miguel did. However, in the process of getting along with the members of Cunning Hares and discovering the conspiracy of Vision Corporation, she found that Cunning Hares were not just greedy folks she imagined. After resolving the misunderstanding, they exposed Vision's actions together and Nekomata eventually joined the Cunning Hares as their third member.

• Her barcode and cyber tail appear to have existed before she joined the gang
