Description
Speedy Cerviche, originally named Yattarō and also known as Nyankee #1 in the Japanese version, leads the titular feline team. Standing 133 cm tall and weighing 40 kg, he is the group's shortest and youngest member. He possesses green eyes and predominantly white armor featuring a red-and-white helmet symbolizing the rising sun. His height causes a complex, fostering jealousy toward taller individuals and reluctance to visit places like New York.
His personality is hot-blooded, self-confident, and driven by justice, often striking poses for cameras after victories. Cheerful and efficient, his agility matches his name, aiding in pizza delivery and combat. Flaws include irritability, occasional cockiness, and emotional impulsiveness leading to critical errors. Professionally, he balances laziness and distraction—especially around romantic interests—with serious focus during missions when recognizing his leadership responsibilities.
Romantic pursuits involve initially frequent visits to Lucille, failing to convey his feelings and resulting in unrequited affection and rivalry with teammate Guido Anchovy. By the series' end, his focus shifts to Polly Esther, reciprocating her hinted feelings after she grieves his apparent sacrifice.
His abilities feature superhuman speed, martial prowess, and signature weapons: shurikens, a katana, and the magical Ginzu Sword (Youtou Masamasa). His primary finishing move, the Cat's Eye Slash, uses a two-sword style triggered by extreme rage. Additional tools include a sight-enhancing visor and a collar bell to summon the Rescue Team. Combining with avian companion Toritsukkun enables a "Power Up Form" (Extra Topping Pizza Cats Mode), granting flight.
Key relationships involve Polly, with dynamics shifting between camaraderie and conflict before evolving into mutual romantic interest; Guido, sharing a best-friend bond alongside competition over Lucille and workplace disagreements; and antagonist Bad Bird, where initial rivalry transitions into alliance after mutual respect, culminating in jointly piloting the Supreme Catatonic. Boss Francine tolerates his shortcomings despite frequent annoyance, while mentor figures like The Great Warrior impart teamwork lessons.
His character development peaks during the finale when he pilots the Supreme Catatonic into a comet threatening Little Tokyo, intending self-sacrifice. His survival, alongside Bad Bird, resolves his arc, solidifying his heroic legacy and transition toward a relationship with Polly. Throughout, his growth involves overcoming self-doubt, prioritizing teamwork, and maturing emotionally beyond initial impulsiveness.
