Introducing Capyneko

August 10, 2025

capyneko (kæpɪˈnekəʊ): a capybara + his sidekick, the cat (猫)

Meet Capy

The world’s largest rodent, the capybara, is a sociable creature who is a friend of all living beings, especially animals, and Capy is no different. Capy’s social circle spans far and wide thanks to his semi-opposable thumb and aptitude for learning technology. Not to mention that Capy is conversant in many languages including meow, miāo, nyan, wāng wāng, woof, wan wan, and tonnes more.

Capy’s social battery rarely runs low, but if it does, all that’s needed is a low key soak in the onsen, and Capy is firing on all capybara cylinders again.

Meet Neko

Neko is Capy’s bestie, and the two can often be found stocking up on sweets at the local konbini.
