'''Kat''' and '''Ana''' are major human characters in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series. They are ninja twin sisters who attend [[Diamond City Kindergarten]] and adore nature, especially animals and flowers. [[Kat & Ana's House|Their house]] is located in a park in [[Diamond City]]. Their names are a pun on the word "{{iw|wikipedia|katana}}", a type of Japanese samurai sword. They debut in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' as two of [[Wario]]'s friends who help him produce [[microgame]]s.

====''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!''====

Kat & Ana are introduced in the opening cutscene of ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', in which Wario invites them and other friends of his to join his company [[WarioWare, Inc.]] as game developers.

 

[[File:Kat and Ana prologue 2 WarioWare Mega Microgames.png|thumb|left|The evil spirit Boneheads has possessed the prince and caught Ana.]]

In Kat & Ana's story, a villainous skeleton spirit named [[Boneheads]] appears over the [[Diamond City Castle|Castle]] in Diamond City at night. He takes possession of the [[Player|prince or princess]] who sleeps under the roof. Ana appears along with her [[Ana's Crew|crew]] consisting of five other ninjas to save them. They attack Boneheads, but he easily defeats all of them with his two lengthy swords. Because of her defeat, she assigns her animal companion [[Don the Sparrow]] to carry a letter calling for help to her sister Kat. After he flies off, Boneheads also captures Ana and ties her in a rope.

 

Kat resides with [[Shadow the Dog|Paw the Dog]] at an unknown place far away from Diamond City. Don the Sparrow arrives as she steps out of the house, and he drops the letter in front of her. Shortly after, Kat hears Ana's crying and heads for Diamond City with Paw. On their way, they travel across various Japanese landscapes.

 

When Kat and Paw arrive at the Castle, they encounter Boneheads at the entrance, who then jumps to the roof. Kat and Paw make it through the many floors of the Castle and eventually reach the roof. Kat battles him, but fails to defeat him, so Paw joins the fight and morphs into a giant blade. With the help of Paw, Kat finally defeats Boneheads after some effective slices and causes him to fall apart. The prince/princess is saved from Boneheads' influence and Kat rescues Ana by cutting her rope. Afterwards, Kat, Ana, and the prince/princess stand in front of the castle while Paw chases Don. The two then walk to the [[Gelateria]] where they sit on the store's awning. In the stage's intermission, Kat unsheathes a {{wp|Dango|hanami dango}}, rose, or lollipop.

 

 

Kat & Ana's microgames are themed after nature, and thus all of them feature animals or plant life in some way. The song [[Four Seasons]] plays throughout their stage.  

In ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', Kat & Ana created microgames of the [[List of microgames in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!#Nature|Nature]] genre. All games involve animals or plants.

In the unlockable [[minigame]] [[Jump Forever]], Kat & Ana swing the rope that Wario has to jump. In the unlockable minigame taken from ''[[Mario Paint]]'', [[Fly Swatter]], the [[Bob-omb]] appearing in the congratulations sequence has been replaced by Kat.

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', Kat & Ana perform in a television show called ''Super Show'' after [[9-Volt]]'s entrance. Under the headline "Karate", they show off their ninja techniques. However, what occurs next is unknown, because Wario's television set bursts.

Kat & Ana's nature microgames return, and they are two of the ten selectable characters in the multiplayer games. Their minigame is called [[Wobbly Bobbly]], where players each try to balance on a stack of upside-down turtles while playing microgames.

====''WarioWare: Twisted!''====

In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', Kat & Ana go on a field trip with their kindergarten class on the Diamond Knoll. Their pets, Shadow the Dog and [[Shuriken the Falcon]], come along with Kat & Ana. The teacher instructs the children not to bunk. During the trip, Ana discovers a beautiful flower. While Kat takes a stroll, she and her two animal friends pause at the flower. Ana decides to show the flower to Kat and chases after her. However, Kat damages a beehive with a stick when she arrives. The bees get furious for being disturbed, so Kat & Ana sprint away from the swarm. They abscond into a wooden cabin and rest there for a moment.

However, Kat & Ana are not alone. They encounter the [[Diamond Troll]]. He immediately prepares his attack, so Kat & Ana quickly change to their ninja uniforms and attack him with their swords. Then, Kat & Ana charge their blades and shoot out a sword beam at the Diamond Troll. Shortly before they can attack, Shadow the Dog and Shuriken the Falcon crash right into the cabin and hit the ceiling. Then, they plummet into the Diamond Troll and all three are knocked out. Kat & Ana are speechless for a moment.

Following these events, Kat & Ana decide to return back home, but after they open the door of the cabin, the swarm of bees reappear. The two ninja sisters and their animal pals escape from the swarm in front of the sunset.

In [[Wario-Man]]'s story, the alien [[Orbulon]] gives Kat, Ana, [[Mona]], 9-Volt, and [[18-Volt]] a flight in [[Oinker|his new UFO]]. All five humans sit on seats behind Orbulon.

In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', Kat & Ana's microgames involve a particular style of gameplay rather than a specific visual theme. In this game, their set of microgames is called Tap Out and requires to press only {{button|gba|A}}.

[[File:Kat and Ana prologue WarioWare Touched.png|thumb|Kat & Ana remark on the monkey after they find it stealing their bananas.]]

Ana and Shadow the Dog stay in their house in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' Ana wants to eat bananas, so she opens the door to the room where the bananas should lie on a dish. She is shocked when she notices that the bananas are gone, and hectically searches the room. During this, Shadow the Dog notices animal footprints in the house. He informs Ana of the tracks by barking. She now also notices the tracks and sets off to find the banana thief. Before heading out, Ana writes a note for Kat so that she can know where to find her. Ana and Shadow the Dog dash out the door to chase after the culprit. Kat reads the note and catches up to her to retrieve the stolen bananas with Shuriken the Falcon.

Kat & Ana eventually capture the thief, who turns out to be a small monkey. They are initially angered, but the monkey quickly endears them, and they name him [[Numchuck the Monkey|Numchuck]]. Kat & Ana cheerfully lift the monkey up and down and the thievery is quickly forgotten.

In ''WarioWare: Touched!'', the name of Kat & Ana's set of microgames is [[List of microgames in WarioWare: Touched!#Ninja Scribble|Ninja Scribble]] and involves scribbling and drawing with {{button|ds|Stylus}}.

====''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''====

[[File:Kat and Ana prologue WarioWare Smooth Moves.png|thumb|left|Kat & Ana come to the Diamond Dojo's rescue.]]

In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', the gargantuan, red [[Elephant Ogre]] comes to Diamond Dojo and stands in front of it at night. The concerned Sensei in the Dojo faces the monstrous being who suddenly lets out a piercing shriek. Quickly, Kat & Ana come to the Dojo's rescue. Ana gets inside the Dojo to reach the Sensei. When she arrives, she notices the [[Li'l Ogre]] bugging the Sensei and yanking his hair. Outside, Kat battles face to face with the Elephant Ogre. She activates her clone powers and five duplicates appear simultaneously, in which the clones immediately attack the giant with their swords. The Elephant Ogre's club and Kat's sword press each other, but then the Li'l Ogre shouts to stop the fight.

[[File:Kat and Ana epilogue WarioWare Smooth Moves.png|thumb|The Elephant Ogre leaves with the assumed Li'l Ogre on his hand.]]

Kat & Ana briefly appear in [[Tiny Wario]]'s ending cutscene, where Wario runs past the WarioWare, Inc. crew as he is chased by the [[Splunk]]s.

 

In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', Kat & Ana's set of microgames involves the forms The Remote Control, The Sketch Artist, The Chauffeur, and The Samurai.

 

Kat & Ana also work as editors of Wario's one-shot newspaper, "[[The Weekly Wario]]". They write about rumors involving the [[Form Baton]].

 

====''WarioWare: Snapped!''====

After the end of their stage, photos of the two players with goofy decorations are shown. In Jimmy T.'s stage, a comic strip of them can be shown. In this comic, they have a fighting practice.

====''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''====

In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', Kat & Ana have their very own stage called "Kat & Ana's Sky Patrol". In this stage, they jump off a cliff first only to fly above the sky using yellow [[cape]]s in a fashion similar to [[Cape Mario]] and Cape Luigi. They are accompanied by birds (to denote the player's 4 lives for the stage).

In ''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase'', Kat & Ana return to their original role and host a new set of Nature-themed microgames again. Unlike the original WarioWare which featured microgames about animals and flowers, the microgames in this set for the game are limited to only animals.

{{br}}

Kat also appears as depicted on a bowling pin in the [[Bowling]] minigame with the other characters.

Kat & Ana also appear in the ''[[Game & Wario#Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection|Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection]]'' series, a series showcasing pictures of often questionable quality made in the game's Miiverse Sketch mode. Kat appears as the host of the fifteenth episode themed around turtles, while Ana is the host of the second episode themed around peacocks.

====''WarioWare Gold''====

[[File:Kat and Ana Hug Gold.png|thumb|225px|left|Kat & Ana hugging about their eating challenge.]]

Kat & Ana first appear in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' accepting Wario's offer to make games for him for the Wario Bowl, in which they host the second stage of the Touch League with a That's Life theme.

In their own story, the twins arrive at Diamond City Castle to find their teacher for a ninja test in hopes of getting their ninja learners permits. They encounter [[Ms. Munchly]] who they believe to be their teacher, who tells them that their test is to eat everything she dishes out to them, much to the twin's excitement. After eating numerous amounts of sushi, it is revealed that they completed the Gourmet Master test; their ninja test was right next door and their real teacher, [[Ninja Steve]], was in the bathroom during their feast. Though full from eating, Kat & Ana join Steve to complete their real test.

They are later seen as part of the Dancing Team, dancing at [[Club Joe]] with Jimmy T, Mona, [[Dr. Crygor]], [[Mike]], [[Penny]], [[Young Cricket]], [[Master Mantis]], and [[Fronk]]. They bring a large amount of food that attracts several customers to the club.

At the end of the story, Kat & Ana are among the group who demand their part of the money Wario made from the Wario Bowl. After Wario accidentally lets the briefcase with the tournament money fall off from his hands, Kat becomes disappointed to find out that the money Wario had with him was actually very little, with Ana deducing that Wario had probably spent most of it beforehand. They later gladly split the rest of the money with their friends.

Unlike in previous games, Kat & Ana have brown eyes instead of blue.

====''WarioWare: Get It Together!''====

[[File:WWGIT Kat Ana Leo.jpg|thumb|225px|Kat & Ana facing Leo.]]

Kat & Ana appear in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' In the game's story mode, the duo appears in the opening cutscene, eating food alongside [[Lulu]]. When Wario announces the completion of his new game, Kat & Ana become eager to see the finished product. However, Wario's console malfunctions, causing Kat to believe that something is wrong with the game. Wario tosses his console upwards in frustration, which sucks Kat & Ana, along with the rest of the WarioWare, Inc. employees, into the game world.
