Shigeru Family



The Shigeru Family (しげるファミリー) is a series of small stuffed-toy cats fashioned through some unknown means by Kurogane Hayate. They come in pairs, and are meant to be affixed to the hilts of both members of a shinyuu pair's swords, emblematizing their partnership. Most are individually tailored to the characteristics/appearance of the intended recipient, and given a name containing "Shige."

Shiges at times exhibit autonomous behavior (such as waving to other characters) or serve as extensions of their bearers' emotions.
