tama the stationmaster

More news from the Wakayama Electric Railway! Tama, the world famous feline stationmaster of Kishi station on the Kishigawa Line, will be honored with his own special train:

Here is an artist’s depiction of the Tama train:

The train will have cartoon Tamas painted all over it, and its interior will feature photo booths where one can take and print cute Tama-themed purikura pics. The special Tama train will begin service in spring 2009.

for a place that claims to be broke they sure are wasting a lot of cash on a cat.

kenji

what..? the cat is the reason they aren’t broke. why would making a tama themed train car be wasting money? wouldn’t that bring more ppl in…like tama already has?

Rob

No kidding, how much money has the cat brought in to the station so far? 10 million dollars?

Clearly a waste of cash.

reisender

I hope that cat dies.

Grinz

you know they’d go out and find another calico to take its place and deny that it was a different.
The Overthinker

The cat hopes you die first. The cat has nine lives, but you don’t.

catty

yup, reisender sure a cat hater i guess. and rob, have you ever raised 10 million just by sitting down and looking cute? the cat is better that you i guess. go tama-chan!!!

Montsan

I think reisender needs a hug.

Or a cute little stationmaster cap.

I find the image of Tama’s behind on the train funny.

However, there’s no truth in the rumour that the LDP have asked him to stand as a candidate in the forthcoming election…
