Nekomata is a catgirl. Female character with cat traits, such as cat ears, a cat tail, or other feline characteristics on an otherwise human body. The list excludes anthropomorphic cats humans dressed in cat costumes, and characters that fully transform between cat and human, and in-between stages. For example characters that wear a cat-themed costume, (but only if there is strong recognition) as with Catwoman, those are Nekomatas. For franchise characters, they are listed by their originating media, with ones in manga and anime listed separately from television and film. Male catpeople, called catboys, are also included.
