A surprising fact has once again become a trend on social media: the creator of the popular adult visual novel franchise “Nekopara” is a woman.. Under the pseudonym Sayori (さより)This Chinese-Japanese illustrator, character designer, and video game artist has captured the attention and hearts of many fans around the world.

This fact is familiar to many fans of the franchise and was immortalized in a meme from a few years ago:

• “Man, it's really hard to get a girlfriend, but at least my cats love me. -Creator of Nekopara, 0.1 seconds before having the worst idea ever.“.
• “The creator of Nekopara is a woman who actually has sex with her husband, unlike his wife.“.

Sayori, who currently resides in Japan, is the founder of the creative circle NEKO WORKs. She not only designs the characters, but also directs the sketches, art drawings, and proposals for the entire “Nekopara” franchise. This visual novel series is known for its adult content and the inclusion of female characters with feline characteristics, known as cat girls or “neko”. These characters, thanks to the popularity of “Nekopara”, have become a phenomenon in the world of anime and video games.

Since its release, “Nekopara” has gained a huge fan base due to its unique combination of romantic and erotic storytelling, high-quality art, and engaging gameplay. The franchise was not only successful in Japan, but crossed borders, finding loyal fans all over the world. This success was catalyzed by Sayori's ability to create lovable and compelling characters, as well as the emotional depth and refined aesthetics of her works.

An interesting aspect that is little known outside of Japan is that a large number of adult content creators in Japan are women.. This may come as a surprise to some, but there are several reasons behind this phenomenon. First, many women find in the creation of adult content a way to express their own sexuality and fantasies, in a space that is usually dominated by the male perspective. Additionally, the adult entertainment industry in Japan is diverse and offers a variety of subgenres and niches, allowing creators to explore themes that might not be possible in more mainstream media.

Furthermore, the presence of women in this sector can contribute to a more balanced and differentiated representation of female sexuality. Having women like Sayori in key creative roles ensures that female characters and stories have an authenticity and sensitivity that resonates with a wider audience, including many women. This can also help destigmatize the consumption of this type of content, presenting it as more inclusive and accessible.
