Kuroneko

Kuroneko-yamato(黒猫様|lit. 'Lady black cat') is a black cat who reoccurs in the background of the anime and manga. She appears in every episode of the anime and randomly in the manga. Despite her level of recurrence, Kuroneko-sama has only had one instance of plot significance, having stopped Wolfwood from cheating in a game of chess in episode 11. Nightow has stated that she is just something easy and calming to draw in between action scenes. His most common response to queries as to her nature or significance at anime convention panels is "Kuroneko-sama is a small black cat."

In Trigun Maximum, Kuroneko-sama only appears in Nightow's commentary at the end of each issue, often criticizing the author's lazy and silly nature.
