The Cast
Goma
A young capybara on his first real trial as an onsen inspector, sent up the mountain by his old teacher with an unfinished notebook in his paws.
Nene
A maneki neko (招き猫, beckoning lucky cat) and the okami (女将, innkeeper) of the hidden inn. She runs the kitchen, the books, and most of the day.
Their partnership is platonic. The spirits who visit the inn will be revealed closer to launch.
