He takes the form of a maneki neko, round and cute (at least, according to him, however this also confirmed by Taki Tooru, Takashi's schoolmate). His maneki neko form is white, with an orange and grey marking on the top of his head and back, black eyes, wearing a red cat collar with a gold bell on his neck and has small red markings on his face."@en .

In his original form, he is a colossal (so large he can cover Takashi underneath a single paw and his eye is larger than Takashi's head) wolf-like youkai with white fur, red markings on his face and gold eyes. Like most youkai, his original form cannot be seen by people with little or no spiritual energy."@en . . "Natsume Yuujinchou"@en . .
