Character Description: Yama-maya
Maya was the iromote kitten that the girls found while on the school trip to Okinawa. He took a quick liking to Sakaki, which is abnormal because cats usually hate her, and she ended up spending the entire time with him. The day after the group got home, Sakaki found an article on the internet about an iromote cat that had been hit by a car, and they thought it may have been Maya's mother.
Maya appears again as Sakaki and Chiyo-chan are walking home and are attacked by Kamineko when Maya saves them. They end up taking care of him, and Sakaki made plans to take him with her when she graduates and moves out of the same house as her mother, who is allergic to cats. In the meantime, Maya stays with Chiyo-chan and Mr. Tadakichi.
