Encyclopedia > Nekomi

Nekomi is a fictional Japanese town located in Chiba Prefecture, near Tokyo. It was created by manga artist Kosuke Fujishima for his popular series Oh My Goddess, and likely modeled on his actual hometown of Chiba City.


Nekomi seems to be a rather large bedroom community, with its economy likely stapled by the Nekomi Institute of Technology (NIT), alma mater of series protagonist Keiichi Morisato and most of the other mortal characters. Due to the presence of the tech school there, the town seems to have a good number of auto and motorcycle parts shops, such as the custom parts shop Wyvern, which Keiichi originally wanted to work at, and the smaller shop Whirlwind, where Keiichi currently works. It is run by his old schoolmate Chihiro Fujimi.


Nekomi is also home to the Makuhari Messe Convention Center, which was once destroyed when the goddess Urd, possessed by the Lord of Terror, unleashed the wolf Fenrir to destroy the world itself (she was fortunately later thwarted). It has presumably been rebuilt since then. Despite this and another extraordinary incident, in which the demoness Mara turned NIT's campus into a "mindforce castle" to realize the "Campus Queen" fantasies of jealous Sayoko Mishima, most residents seem rather casual about the strange events which have occurred there since Belldandy and her divine friends and family came there to stay with Keiichi. According to the narrator, years of pranks from the students have rendered the town shock-proof.
