Yokai Mataneko (妖怪マタネコ Yōkai Mataneko, 26, 46-47) is a Yokai that appears in Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. His introductory credit called him "Tailed Fox Cat Mataneko".
History[]
Yokai Mataneko is the little brother of Yokai Nekomata. Unlike Yokai Nekomata, Yokai Mataneko lacked his ability to travel through time. He attempted to get revenge against the Ninningers by turning them against one another in a "best ninja" competition (posing as Yoshitaka Igasaki) but was ultimately foiled when they stopped their rivalry of their own whim. They pursued him to the city where Takaharu activated Chozetsu Mode whilst Youkai Mataneko stole Kyuemon's hammer. They battle over it but Takaharu was grown giant by a hit to the head from the mallet so Mataneko enlarged himself as well. They fight and they were evenly matched until Shinobimaru intervenes. Despite his strength, both Takaharu and Shinobimaru were able to easily overwhelm him, the former ending the fight by throwing Youkai Mataneko to the ground after his Super Cat Pawprint Bomber failed. He then powered up the Transcendental Shuriken Slash so Mataneko tried to delay him with a question of who would win. Takaharu responded by telling him it was a good try and killed him, the monster claiming that a future version of him would return to fight the Ninningers in the future before falling on his side and exploding.
