Beschreibung der Charaktere » Shizuka Nekonome

Shizuka Nekonome is a catgirl and Tsukune and Moka's homeroom teacher. She is also the advisor for the Newspaper Club. Nekonome is rather carefree in her attitude and somewhat oblivious to certain things. The manga reveals she likes to eat raw fish, but specifically, as shown in an omake, goldfish. A running gag in the anime is when she is reminded by one of her students about her tail showing, which would always embarrass her. Her animated counterpart does not seem to show any hatred towards humans, unlike the rest of the teachers in the school. This is particularly shown prior to Tsukune's execution incident, when she worries about his fate and argues how the school was built to promote human relationships with yōkai and vice versa. She is also said to own a villa in the human world. Despite her physical appearance being in her early thirties, she claims in the second serialization that her real age is 17 since 20 years.
