So, i learned about Tama the cat! TAMA DAIMYOJIN!!!
A cat that rose to a Stationmaster, a Super Stationmaster, a Knighted cat awarded the title "Wakayama de Knight", a Mentor, and... a Kami/God/Goddess/Deity!!!
Her little sister and mother acted as her Assistant deputys!
Her legacy extends to Okayama station with Santama, otherwise known as Sun-tama-tama!
Her original Apprentice, Nitama, is the Chief Priestess of her Shrine at Kishi Station.
20 thousand people came to her funeral from all over Japan to pay respects.
It is a shame she isn't brought up more in media, she doesn't even have any art of her, I wanna see her in her Spirit Goddess form, not some cliche cat girl goddess, just a small bipedal cat with her usual uniform made into a kimono, and a Hagoromo resembling steam forming around her, as she stands on the station platform, greeting visitors who don't see her, and watches her Successors with pride as they continue her Legacy! And Nitama, her Chief Priestess and Direct Successor, looks to her, and nods.
