Kuroneko-sama is a beloved cat character from the vintage Trigun anime, also known as Mr.Cat. The original Trigun anime released April 1st 1998. From that time to the early 2000\'s there was numerous pieces of merch released for Trigun, including some sold at HotTopic. I am unable to confirm, but based on my research, I believe this adorable Mr.Cat backpack was also acquired through HotTopic.  The backpack itself is in pretty good vintage pre-owned condition but there are a few flaws. The whiskers are very fragile. One of them looks to be splitting, so if it is pulled it may snap off. They are elastic but seem to have became weak overtime. There are a few dirt / mud marks on it. I do not know how they came to be because this was acquired through a third party. The eyes also need to be cleaned, due to how it was stored they seem a little dirty. I have not attempted to clean it off. I will be leaving the bag as is so potential buyers can clean with whatever items and how they desire. This bag is best as a collectible for display. I\'m sure it can still be used regularly, but as I stated above, some parts of the bag seem fragile. Item may have a \"vintage\" scent due to being stored. But it is not strong and should wash out if soaked and dried. The zipper is fully functional. There are no pockets. Manufacturer tag attached which states material is polyester and it was made in China. Straps are adjustable. 13 x 11  Rare bag. Great for a collector.
