Kabukinyantaro is a Sanrio character based on a Calico cat and kabuki (Japanese dance show)-themed attire. He lives in Kabuki-za (theater in Tokyo) and dreams of one day performing kabuki on stage. He is said to already have a good kabuki-style voice. His favorite food is ice cream monaka which is sold in Kabuki-za.
He has white, black, and ginger patches of fur including a special heart shape on his back. He has large black and yellow eyes, a striped tail, and pink paw pads. He almost always wears a green and white striped collar tied in a bow with a gold jingle bell that makes noise when he walks.
