Kind CatPoA6 Size (fits Planner and Original)
This cover is customers’ favorite from the Hobonichi Techo 2018 edition.
This cover features a photograph of “kind cat” Po, an overnight celebrity from his cameo in Kaoru Fukaya’s hit comic, “The Cat that Wanders the Night.”
One day, news cameraman Yasusuke Ota spotted a cat in a nearby park. When he fed the cats there, the one cat waited politely for all other cats to finish eating before approaching the food. The cat was filthy, and teased often. Ota named the cat Po and watched over him. Ota’s growing concern eventually led him to bring Po home. The cats already in the home fought Po at first, but he never fought back. This led the other cats to open their hearts to Po, and they all grew close. Po even cared for other foster cats that joined their home. Of all the cats Ota has met and cared for, Po will always have a special place in his heart.
With this techo cover, you can keep Po by your side and always feel the warmth of this kind cat.
The front cover features a photo of Po with his eyes closed for an expression brimming with the cat’s gentleness. The back of the cover has a photo of Po looking back at the sound of his name being called.
When Ota and his wife brought Po to the local Trap / Neuter / Return program, Ota’s wife gave Po a green tag with his name on it. This cover has a tag with the same green color.
About Yasusuke Ota
Yasusuke Ota ran a popular blog “Uchi no Toramaru” about his foster cats Tora and Maru. In 2009, he became interested in the feral cats in his neighborhood and met Po. Po was featured in Kaoru Fukaya’s hit comic, “The Cat that Wanders the Night,” and became an overnight sensation. In 2017, the stories of “Kind Cat” Po were published as a book.

Please Read Before You Buy
In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.
- Actual specifications may vary from listing
Each item is individually assembled and sewn by hand by a factory worker. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.
- Color and print may vary slightly
This material is first printed or dyed and then later sewn onto the cover. While colors are designed to be consistent, there may be uneven coloring or slight shade variances between covers. This may also happen across a single cover, such as a pocket compared to the rest of the cover. In addition, on rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the print. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.
- Cover may contain variations in stitching or loose lining
When this cover is open flat, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.
- Pen holders are rigid at first
The pen holders are rigid at first, making it difficult to insert pens. You can speed up the breaking-in process by rolling the pen holders in your hand.
- Pen holder fits pens up to 13.5 mm wide
The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2 mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free bonus gift with select Japanese-version Hobonichi Web Shop products. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5 mm (0.53”) in diameter.
- Avoid storing in hot and humid places
Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
