AppearanceEdit

 
Full-body view of Kit.

Kit dresses in black and white cat-themed magician's stage clothing; he wears an undershirt, long-tailed coat, and pants that are black on the left side and white on the right, and a waistcoat, oversized bowtie, and mascot cat head with reversed colors, though the nose of the cat head has black on the left and white on the right. He also wears a white glove with paw pads on the palms and fingers on his left hand and a large white shoe on his left foot, and black ones on his right side. His cat head's eyes are heterochromatic; the right eye is green and the left yellow, a possible reference to "Odd-Eyes Twin Tail Cat‎", and he also wears a black detachable cat tail and a stereotypical gold cat bell with the left side painted white.

PersonalityEdit

As is befitting of his name, Kit believes in the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment; that multiple possibilities can exist, and this is reflected in his card effects and general attitude. He seizes on Luke's apparent discomfort for the guessing his card effects pose to him and continually mocks his chances, claiming that his possibility is the one that will come to pass. Kit behaves in a very catlike manner, often stretching on all fours and scratching a mat with his gloves after losing. When Luke conquers his strategy, Kit loses all his composed and panics, particularly after he loses and awaits Nail's punishment.

When he meets with Yuga Ohdo and his friends again at Goha Enterprises Kit is more polite and helpful, telling Gavin Sogetsu about the Battle Bug Club and helping Luke look for them.

Voice/MannerismsEdit

Kit tends to add the word "nya" to the end of his sentences, Japanese onomatopoeia for the sounds a cat makes, or add the word into normal words to make puns.

EtymologyEdit

"Nekoyama" means "Cat Mountain" in Japanese, while his first name comes from Austrian-Irish physicist Erwin Schrödinger, who proposed the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment.

BiographyEdit

Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENSEdit

MaximumEdit

Kit was the first Duelist that Yuga Ohdo and his friends encountered in the Garden of Curiosity, startling them by using the shadow of his headpiece. He asked who would be the one to Duel him, and though Yuga was eager to volunteer, Lucidien "Luke" Kallister was the one to accept Kit's challenge. Kit took them to a room to Duel, beginning simply. Luke opposed Kit with two high-Level monsters, but to Kit's surprised pleasure, the challenge posed by his "Lost Cat" Trap Cards confounded Luke immensely, and Kit took advantage of that confusion to amplify it with his Schrödinger's cat philosophy. Thanks to Kit's Traps, Luke's attacks failed, and Kit Tribute Summoned "Odd-Eyes Twin Tail Cat‎" on his next turn and used it to retrieve a "Lost Cat", while once again stressing Luke out with his "Cat's Eye" Spell Card, allowing his "Cats" to attack directly and reduce Luke to 100 LP. However, Luke was finally able to snap out of his stress on his next turn and Summoned "Piercing Dragon Bunker Strike", which allowed him to draw and then return cards to the top of his Deck, allowing him to know which cards he'd have to guess when Kit used "Lost Cat". Kit panicked as Luke's "Multistrike Dragon Dragias" reduced him to 100 LP as well, but he decided to believe in the last possibility of his Trap and activated it when "Bunker Strike" attacked. To his glee, Luke had forgotten the order he'd returned his cards in, but he successfully guessed it correctly and his attack defeated Kit. As Kit panicked and begged Nail for forgiveness, Nail dropped him down a trapdoor.[2]

Team Battle RoyalEdit

Kit, Buff Grimes and Seatbastian were tasked with examining the data of the Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal in Nail's haven to determine who was behind the tournament and the actions of Goha 66 and ordered to report to Nail if they found anything.[3] However they had little success due to their limited tech skills, but Tyler Getz and Toombs arrived to take over due to Tyler's hacking skills. As Tyler worked, Kit began pointing out sections of the data he had already checked until Toombs distracted him with scary stories.[4] Toombs and Grimes eventually began providing Tyler with calories to maintain his workload, while Kit held Tyler's phone for him as Roa called Tyler for updates while Yuga and Luke prepared to Duel. As the power began to fail as Tyler finally found what he was looking for; someone had been using the Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal to hack the Goha Duel Server to uninstall Rush Dueling, and Kit learned over the phone that the server was located on the moon.[5] The Heavy Cavalry Duel Club destroyed Otes' Relic, thought to be responsible for the hack, but Tyler confirmed the process couldn't be stopped. Although Rush Dueling was eventually uninstalled after Luke defeated Yuga, Yuga and Nail were able to reinstall it in the Super Rush Robot.[6]

Goha EmployeeEdit

Kit, Muttsy and Grizzle went to the Goha Enterprises Main Office on a field trip, where they met with Yuga, Luke, Romin, Gavin, Swirls, Rayne and Rino Nanahoshi, who now worked at Goha Enterprises, and Kit politely introduced his friends to the Goha #7 Elementary students. As Gavin showed them around the Goha Enterprises Main Office, they learned a group from their school had gone missing and Booster Page noted it was likely the Battle Bug Club, a claim Kit agreed with and he explained they were probably trying to cause trouble. Luke and Swirls decided to look for the Battle Bug Club, and Kit, Muttsy and Grizzle accompanied them. After splitting off from Swirls, they found Kabuto Bito and Kirihito Kamagaya outside Yuga's office, and Luke told Kit and his friends to stay back while he tried to catch Kabuto.[1]

King of DuelsEdit

Yuga Rush Dueled Otes in orbit around the Moon to save Dueling from being destroyed, vanishing into hyperspace with Otes afterwards. Two years later, Kit was with Muttsy, Maxwell, Grimes and Seatbastian in Nail's Nexus when Yuga returned to Earth, witnessing Nail raise a road for Luke, Romin and Gavin to get to Goha Harbor.[7]

Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!Edit

Fifth ArcEdit

Two years after Yuga disappeared, Kit found three talking cats on the street. To his shock he learned they were Yuga and two of his ancestors, Yuhi and Yuamu Ohdo, who had been transformed into cats, and that they had journeyed from the past, and he informed Yuga that it had been two years since he disappeared after defeating Otes, though he didn't know all the details due to having been on Earth at the time. To his surprise, Yuamu asked whether there were aliens known to be on Earth, as they were well known in their time, and she wondered whether Phaser Ryugu and MIK had won their battle in the past after they found the site where the UTS office gone, though Kit missed much of the discussion due to being slower than the Ohdos in their cat forms. Yuamu asked to see Goha City's records and Kit tried to dissuade them from knowing too much of the future, but Yuamu insisted they already knew too much and more wouldn't hurt, so Kit took the Ohdos to Nail's Nexus in the Garden of Curiosity, where they discovered that Goha Enterprises' records on UTS only extended to information the Ohdos already knew from their time, something Kit admitted may have been due to data loss in the digital transition. However there was plenty of information about Yuga, which Kit explained to the other Ohdos, but to his shock he learned Yuga had created Rush Dueling in the past as well under duress from Zuwijo zir Velgear, hoping to end a galactic war. Though history hadn't changed due to Yuga's action, Kit deduced Yuga was likely disappointed as this meant Rush Dueling may have been transformed into Goha Dueling prior to Yuga creating it in their time and told the Ohdo twins about Otes. The three of them then had to hide from Luke, who the twins mistook for someone they knew as "the Great King of Terror", and Kit explained Luke was Yuga's precious friend. Luke took Yuga to his house, and Kit parted ways with the twins, who followed Yuga. The following day Kit learned that the Mutsuba Spaceship Proto-RUSH Yuga had been piloting was returning to Earth, and he rushed to tell the Ohdos the news before heading to the Nexus.[8]

DeckEdit

Kit uses a Cat Deck, with his monsters being based on versions of "-Eyes Dragon" monsters in appearance and monster card type.

His playing style consists on having the opponent guess the type of card on top of their Deck, creating two possible outcomes - which reflects Kit's philosophy about the different possibilities that exist at the same time.
