Neco or neko means "cat" in Japanese. You probably know where
the "Ro" comes from -- duh, ROBOT!
BTW, that IS a creepy-looking robot. Doraemon is much more
cuddlier. He is a "cat-like robot from the 22nd century." I like
that he's blatantly unnatural -- blue and a self-declared robot. I
also like that he's got no ears. I like to think that the yakusa cut
them off.
