The World of Urusei Yatsura's Lum
Urusei Yatsura - General => Who is your favorite UY Character? => Topic started by: Gulanzon on December 14, 2005, 05:52:40 AM

He rocks. He's just so adorable, and his story is tragic and comic at the same time.
And, umh, that's about it =|
He sorta fades into the background, like the taichonaut goldfish =|
Pity, that.
And Lum doesn't count. It's *assumed* that everyone here luffs Lum. And if they don't, I shall throw my evil Hangul-shaped shuriken!
Current Projects: Latin = Greek = Sanskrit = Lum cap album -> Japanese -> Hangul.
Trying to learn the gojuuon is frustrating. I CAN'T WRITE HALF THE LETTERS >.<
Especially ka. That has to be THE evil god of hard-to-write letters.
And I stray from the topic, which is, Kotatsu Neko rocks.
And this is why:
(http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/5741/kotatsuneko6zs.jpg)
The kawaii factor is overwhelming!
Yea or nay, people?
-
Kotatsu Neko for me it's a neutral character in every episode.
-
Kotatsu-neko is GOD!!
-
nuff said,lumaholics
he is one of da best "non-primary" characters in UY
one episode he just defeated Ryunosuke and Benten at da same time....and in another he was just loaning money 2 ataru...and was the only one unaffected in the last episode
gotta love that giant cat
btw,is he related 2 Maomolin from Ranma 1/2?
-
Probably not... Maomolin Its a luck cat or something and Kotatsu-neko is a ghost cat
Btw, I need a kotatsu this is getting colder every day LoL
-
there both ghost cats, maomolin is look for a bride and Kotatsu-neko is looking for a warm place to stay, i think there are probably brotherss
-
perhaps yes
-
also both of them can be pain in the ***
-
that is more true
-
lol
-
Pain in the buttocks, nates, arse, butt, backside, bum, buns, can, fundament, hindquarters, hind end, keister, posterior, prat, rear, rear end, rump, stern, seat, tail, tail end, tooshie, tush, bottom, behind, derriere, fanny, ass
LoLoLoLoL
-
To the spine
I remember an episode that he was following Ran every where...He is immortal.
-
He defeated Kenshiro, too!!! :o
-
He can not be defeated.
-
He defeated Kenshiro, too!!! :o
yes,one of da best anime xovers i saw,kotatsu kicked ass dat episode (158)
-
He is unstopable.
-
Its obvious... Who the hell would fight a giant ghost cat??? LoL
-
I would.
-
LoL but that's because you have something in common with him LoL
-
What is that?
-
Well you are a demon or evil spirit (ghost) in a cat's body...
-
He is a neutral, he cannot choose if he's good or bad, if he has human thoughts or animal instincts.
-
Kotatsu-Neko looks so clueless. He reminds me of my pet Fischer lovebird, Fischer, who often has the same blank expression. :D
-
good point.
There was an episode that he was in love...with a kind of food.
-
Taiyaki?
-
I don't remember.
-
Kotatsu-neko falls into the Top 5 most decent characters in UY:
1. Lum
2. Kitsune
3. Inaba
4. Kotatsu-neko
5. Shinobu
-
Very good score
-
Kotatsu-neko falls into the Top 5 most decent characters in UY:
1. Lum
2. Kitsune
3. Inaba
4. Kotatsu-neko
5. Shinobu
And did you make that list or take it from somewhere?
Because I don't quite agree with it...
-
I don't know if Inaba is but it's ok for me.
-
I made the list myself. I only put Inaba on there because, despite his clumsiness, he isn't such a bad guy.
-
clumsiness, cluelessness, hopelessness what else oh ya the fact that he is so desperate for a girlfriend, I would rank him on the low end of the scale and the hair, it must be a wig
-
And he could get some new clothes... That bunny suit looks a bit weird in the streets (even for Tomobiki).
And Kokatsu-neko is more of a background character. I have a feeling that if he wasn't there, it wouldn't make much of a difference... He's a cool character, he just needs more screen time.
-
I would say he is like the Dappya monster
-
Sometimes
-
I think Kotatsu-Neko is just a neutral character
-
He's neutral alright, but he's a more important character then Dappya (in my opinion).
-
I dont remember Dappya who is he/she?
-
The little red fish like creature in a space suit that shows up sometimes...
-
I didnt knew that he had a name but I agree with you
-
indeed
-
I think that Kotatsu-Neko is a cool-neutral kind of guy that spends most his time in his world but can get along with anybody and doesn't bother anyone. He is extremely helpful in some situations from ending a quarrel to stopping a meteor rock, in other words he is strong and unstoppable. Thats why he is somewhere on my favorites list.
-
"Amen brother, Amen!"

(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa96/GeneralOlde/Urusei%20Yatsura/Kotatsuneko.jpg?t=1180542140)
Kotatsu-Neko stares into your soul...
-
or he sees food hehe
-
or he sees food hehe
Taiyaki, most likely. He seems to have a preference for taiyaki. :D)
-
Very true
-
Do you think Kotatsu-Neko is capable to doing something like the guy in this video?
http://www.badmovies.org/multimedia/moviesl/storyofricky1.mpg (http://www.badmovies.org/multimedia/moviesl/storyofricky1.mpg)
-
That first one that smashed the man's head, yes.
-
(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa96/GeneralOlde/Urusei%20Yatsura/FemalePrincipal.jpg?t=1183596300)
You gotta love Kotatsu-Neko. He looks so dopey. :D)
-
He is cute and funny in that pic. =3 kawaii! Arigatou gozaimassou for the pic. Keep going please.
-
What is the Principal doing?
-
What is the Principal doing?
He's admiring himself in the mirror. This is right after Moroboshi (with the power of flipping the gender of whomever he touches) has just touched both Kotatsu-Neko and the Principal, transforming them into female versions of themselves. The Principal looks a bit too comfortable as a female, but Kotatsu-Neko doesn't look any different... :P
-
Lol.
-
indeed
-
Probably since he is a Ghost Cat,he is kinda invulnerable to such magical feat or maybe that is his female form,pick yer choice,my friends
-
I would say that, comparing him self to his feminine self, there's no difference.
-
Kotatsu-Neko is neutral. Maybe he isn't male but he isn't female, either.
-
I don't think so, Miss Cata.
-
I meant that when he was alive he was a male, but now that he is a ghost, he isn't male or female. He is........... a ghost.
-
Don't say a ghost, it's too.........., say it spirit. But a spirit can be as male, as a female.
-

How do you know that? ::)
-
Because I am one.
-
Because I am one.
Aren't you a cat?
-
...in a cat's body... for a few years with the same young form and aspect.
-
Souka...
-
indeed
-
Lol.
-
Rumiko Takahashi stated in an interview I read that if she could marry one of the characters she created, it would be Kotatsu-Neko.
-
That is because Kotatsu Neko is perhaps GOD (as mentioned by Animerica Magazine)
-
If Kotatsu-Neko is GOD, then this GOD doesn't do much and got His ass kicked.
-
Kotatsu-Neko is actually one of the most laid back and easygoing characters besides Lum in the series. But I guess that isn't all that surprising, seeing as how he's a cat. :)
-
By GOD they meant "Greatly OveruseD" (very bad phrase but that Animerica article is very old)
-

There isn't a cat as another cat. I have a cat and he is very laid back but playfull, too.
-
I have a cat as well. He has been declawed (the claws of his front paws were removed so that he wouldn't be able to tear up furniture) and neutered. He's actually very social for a kitty. He walks up to my dad at the dinner table and begs for food. I think he just wants to be included though. :)
-
Once I saved my other cat (he died a few years ago). He ran from home and when I was searching for him in the streets, I looked up and say him crying on a roof. I climbed up the roof and hughed him. I saw that his paws were full of blood and that he was so skinny (he was missing for a week). I grabbed him and climbed down to the ground. Then I took him to the Vet and a month later he was good as new.
-
The power of love in action,cata
-
Unfortunately he is with me only in my heart...
-
That is what matters now,he died physically but the memory will carry on,as we try to do with UY,and who knows,maybe yer cat returns as a ghost as Kotatsu Neko,in this world we live there is no such thing as impossible,only hard to achieve
-
What was his/her name, Miss Cata?
-

Everything is possible.
What was his/her name, Miss Cata?
His name was Boris.
-
I think I can not help, there are too many cats named boris, sorry Miss Cata.
-
Back to subject,my friends,i was researching in me collection of UY mangas as well as meditating about Kotatsu and found that apparently he is of the few characters that end up wit benefits as well as havin da ability of almost never been injured in the UY saga
-
how do you hurt a ghost ???
-
Since they are made of mystical substances,i suppose only with magical weapons,but there is a chance ghosts cant be hurt since they died a long while ago
-
how do you hurt a ghost ???
I think you can hurt her/his feelings.
-
The only way to hurt or kill a ghost is putting salt on is bones and burn them.
Or just call Sakura
-
Lol.

You see too much Supernatural.

As those that doesn't fight, "Who never fight will never win, nor lose"
Anyway, everyone always lose.
-
When Kotatsu-Neko uses his sumo attack he always wins
-
Sakura, Cherry, and Oyuki are the only characters capable of beating him.
-
Not quite.
-
Do you think Kotatsu-Neko is even stronger than Shinobu?
-
Kotatsu-Neko seems to use unnatural force (greater than physcal strength). Shinobu's strength is super human, but not unnatural. :?
-
I'm sure Ataru can bore Kokatsuneko to sleep if there's a girl as a prize...
I say bore because he can't beat him in any way...
-
Aye,prince,kotatsu may be stronger (see eppy 158) but he can beaten by boredom,and ataru is capable of destroying a planet for a girl ( it is a supposition,not that he is gonna do it)
-
Does Kokatsuneko possess any other unnatural powers besides his strength? For a ghost cat he should have more...
-
Appearing in almost all events count as a supernatural power?
Maybe he is new been a ghost so his powers r not defined yet
-
He isn't a ghost, but he isn't normal.
-
Ataru can beat anyone. He just need a motivation to do it (the motivation must have to do with girls).
-
indeed
-
but sometimes with the motivation he couldn't beat Ryu, even for a date.
-
Kotatsu-Neko is the most appealing male character in Urusei Yatsura. Do you think he make a good alternate husband for Lum if he were a human? Or would that be like marrying a smarter, less aggressive version of Rei? :D)
-
Dunno,could work,remind me to write a fic on it,necron99
-
He is definetely related to the ghost cat,just like lum looks related to Shampoo.Did anyone here notice that Ranma has the exact same voice as inuyasha??
-

Aye,ryuunosuke,inuyasha and ranma have da same dubber in japanese,and now regarding the UY situation,i see no problem to see that UY and Ranma coexist inda same universe
-
Dunno,could work,remind me to write a fic on it,necron99
I don't think so, Cosmic. Lum wants someone to move with, Not like Kotatsu Neko, that is a block inside of Morobosi's home.
-
Darkdevil is right,better make a fic where she ends up with me
-

It is just an alternative tale,demon,we all know that lum and kotatsu arent lovers

Why doesnt that amaze me at all?
-
The desires not fulfilled of Alumxander. They are many and will never be fulfilled.

Just you wait and see,Merlin

You're right Alumxander. But only in your dreams and in my nightmares.
-

Oh,i ask to differ,cata,both in our dreams,mwahahahaha
-
That's what you wish.
-
/me reminds himself of his past situation...
:'( :'( :'(
I won't let you have her Alumxander... }:| :(
-
A shame alumxander was finnally killed in NB (supposedly),that would made a great bout for u,kroptik
Back 2 kotatsu,since he is a ghost,what is his purpose not to go 2 da afterlife?
-
It is said that some souls don't go to the afterlife, because there is something binding them to Earth, like a promise. Maybe that's what happened with him?
-
What kind of promise could been da one binding him?
Maybe he promised his owner to be forever with her/him,there are some alternative ideas
-
Maybe he promised he would work on a diet. :P
-
Alas,he will remain binded to earth forever then...he cannot change his weight LoL
-
the episode where he was introduced explained how he is bound to the earth, because of the harshness he faced in his life, he was a stray cat stuck out in the cold
-
true
-

I would love to see what he did to all those people who rejected him. I always imagined him busting into the home of that lady and clamping his jaws down on her pet cat, shaking it around, and then tossing it out the window. Then he would smash a table over the old lady. :D)
-
Lol. Kotatsu-neko seems to be a very calm and quiet cat.
-
(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa96/GeneralOlde/Urusei%20Yatsura/Ran-088.jpg?t=1189899767)
Such a cute pic. ^___^
(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa96/GeneralOlde/Urusei%20Yatsura/Kotatsuneko2.jpg?t=1189899835)
Gotta love Kotatsu-neko. :D)
(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa96/GeneralOlde/Urusei%20Yatsura/Kotatsuneko4.jpg?t=1189899891)
Ten: Can I have some of that weed? :D)
(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa96/GeneralOlde/Urusei%20Yatsura/Kotatsuneko5.jpg?t=1189899912)
Kotatsu-Neko does what cats do best: sleep. ;)
(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa96/GeneralOlde/Urusei%20Yatsura/Kotatsuneko6.jpg?t=1189899994)
Who would've thought that Ran and Kotatsu-Neko would make such a cute couple? :)
(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa96/GeneralOlde/Urusei%20Yatsura/Lum-667.jpg?t=1189900561)
Finally, here is a pic featuring Lum and Kotatsu-Neko. He's looking rather drowsy in this pic.
-
In the last pic Kotatsu-Neko seems to be a little angry.
-
He does that face many times.
-
In da first pic,i thought Ran and Kotatsu were lovers
-
That pic. is from the episode when Ran buys a supernova and Kotatsu-Neko catch's it and try to give to Ran.
-
Also the pic where he is smoking reminds me as if he were a detective as Sherlock Holmes,we gotta admit that Kotatsu knows how to chill
-
We see many time Kotatsu-Neko with a smoking pipe. Here's another one.
(http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/9575/uruseiyatsuraepisode152oq2.jpg)
-
I think it's pretty safe to say Kotatsu-Neko has a crush on Ran-chan... he's another victim of Ran-chan's overwhelming girliness and loveliness... ;D
-
She has animal magnetism over him
-
In the pic Jataru posted, Kotatsu-Neko looks as though he's saying, "I must say!" :D)
-
Lol.
-
indeed
-
what if kotatsu becomes human? will ran love him?
-
Why would he need to become human?? Ran is already dating an alien bull-cow. ::)
-
Lol. I think that Ran loves tigers bulls and cows.
-
Hey dark, you are not human, so you have a shot with ran XD
-
Lol. He haves Watashi and Caroline.
-
what if kotatsu becomes human? will ran love him?
Nope. Ran-chan hates Kotatsu-Neko. She loves Rei unconditionally, the same way Lum-san loves Moroboshi. :'(
-
indeed
Hey dark, you are not human, so you have a shot with ran XD
Why not?
Lol. He haves Watashi and Caroline.
Wait and you'll see how good-looking I'll be.
-
what if kotatsu becomes human? will ran love him?
Nope. Ran-chan hates Kotatsu-Neko. She loves Rei unconditionally, the same way Lum-san loves Moroboshi. :'(
Amen to that,lh,there are things that wont change a bit
-
indeed

Referring back to this pic, I just saw this episode last night. Without a doubt the best Kotatsu-Neko-centric UY episode I have seen. The best part was when Ran kept shooting rockets and throwing grenades at Kotatsu-Neko without any effect. He just kept walking towards her with the same dopey expression on his face. Being a ghost definitely has its advantages! LOL!!! :D)
-
I like not being a ghost but I never was a ghost (at least, I don't remember being one), so it's relative.

But apparently some ghosts still have to bathe. Kotatsu-Neko hanging out in a sentÅ? I thought cats hate water... ;D
-
They don't like getting their fur wet. Guess Kokatsuneko has no problem with that. ;D
-
indeed
-
Their have been times when kotatsu Neko has gone swiming. Like the episode where ataru gets the fish stuck to his chest.
-
I love Kotatsuneko! I laught a lot with him when I saw the Obstacule Course Swim Meet... that cat is hilarious lol and the fights between Kotatsuneko and Ataru are EPIC, much better fights than Ataru vs Mendou.
