  (Kyattou Ninden Teyandee) was a project by Tatsunoko Productions in 1989/90 and released in 1990.  The original idea layout of the cats can be credited to Tenko who made the cats and the citizens of look the way they do.  first aired Febuary 1, 1990 at 7PM (isn't that prime time? what a slot!) but the show didn't last as long as SPC did in other nations.  The show lasted only 2 years but produced what the English audience wants the most:  Manga, CD's, art, cels, merchandise.  Things like that weren't in the western nations like they were in Japan and are a covetted prize.  But without this origin who knows what we would be watching!

  is based in (Edoropolis:  Edo = old name for Tokyo; ropolis = robotic metropolis) somewhere in time where the Shogun (and daughter (Usa Hime)) rein supreme over a metropolis that is so advanced that everyone is no longer flesh and blood but metal and iron.  Although the people have changed, civilization has not.  People live in buildings from shaks to mansions, the people still have cullinary needs and fast food still provides a quick souce of nourishment (and pizza tops the list!).  In this mess of workers, childern and everything else, rises (Koon No Kami), a fox who craves nothing but control and power over everyone and who's provocative clothing style incorporates the idea of sexual preference into a position of power and his preferences are never questioned.  To keep his position he relies on advisor (Karasu Gennari) and warrior (Karamaru) with his crow followers and any robotic monstrosity they could create.  only challenge to his power is   (Wankoo Kami), another counsilor who knows about evil ways and to bring him and his followers to justice.  To do so employs 3 fighters who are called (Nyankee).    are 3 warrior fighters:  (Yattaro), (Pururun), and (Sukashii).  Their main objective is to foil plot and to eventually expose him to the public.  But these warriors (cats) have a day job as their cover; managed by (Otama) they work (and live) at Pizza Cats.   Pizza Cats is a fast food resturant that served all types of pizza for all walks of life and offered a unique delivery service (which made employment quite undesireable due to lousy aim).  A large clock tower/cannon perched above (and attached) to the resturant is the method of ariel transport for the and others.   The main opperator is who runs the entire launch opperation, the only one of the cats who knows how.  But this launch has a hidden secret.  In it lies the area which transforms the cats into and from there they are sent into action to fight and his clan.  In the middle of the plot falls (Omitsu) the intital love interest of and friend of the .   For the foil, the love interest of is (Okara).  As the plot deals out and his interest change as he and form a close bond and eventually push out of the picture.  In the end, evil is defeated but ironically it is love that destroys all when everything is destroyed by .

  To the delight of both fans and Samurai Pizza Cat fans the Japanese like promoting things.  CD releases from the show were made as well as other promotional items.  Manga is the most prominant of all, but the manga was not released at the time of in Japan, but rather at the height of Samurai Pizza Cats in the west.  Set after the final episode, much has changed, which some has stayed the same, and some has gone back to what it was to start out with (like and ).  For more on the manga check out Princess Vi's Spiffy Diffy Web Page or Pzario's Pizza Cat log book.
