Megane is the nickname given to the older brother of the cat owner in the anime Mameneko. The cats in the household refer to him by this name, which means glasses. He is the son of the parents and grandfather who also live in the home. Megane adopts a Shiba Inu dog named Mamenosuke after the dog's previous owner passes away. This adoption introduces a new dynamic to the household, as Mamenosuke was raised around cats and believes himself to be a cat, which creates humorous and heartwarming interactions with the two resident cats, Azuki and Daizu. Megane's role in the story primarily revolves around being the human who brings the dog into the family, thereby becoming a key figure in the slice-of-life narrative that explores the daily lives, relationships, and adventures of the blended pet-and-human household. His motivation for adopting Mamenosuke appears to be a sense of responsibility or compassion after the dog's owner died. Megane's relationships are central to his role: he is the brother of the owner, the son of the parents, and the caretaker of the dog that changes the household routine. The available information does not provide extensive detail about his personality, personal motivations beyond the adoption, character development over the series, or any notable abilities. His primary defining trait within the story is his decision to bring Mamenosuke into the family, which drives much of the series' plot and comedic situations.
