The title of this article is official, but it comes from a non-English source. If an acceptable English source is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.
Oyaneko[1] are the parents of the calico kittens found in Lake Lapcat in Bowser's Fury. Three different Oyaneko appear in the game, with one being found near each of the three Giga Bells. When Mario first encounters one, it is shown crying, due to its kittens having gone missing. The Oyaneko by the Lakeside Giga Bell has one kitten, the Oyaneko by the Ruins Giga Bell has three, and the Oyaneko by the Wasteland Giga Bell has five. Similarly to the mission Li'l Penguin Lost in Super Mario 64, Mario must find the calico kittens within the Oyaneko's region and carry each one back to it. A counter over the Oyaneko's head signifies how many kittens are left to be returned. For each kitten other than the last that is returned to its Oyaneko, Mario earns three coins, and after returning the last kitten, he earns a Cat Shine as a reward. From then on, the Oyaneko can be seen smiling and purring with its kittens instead of crying, but if Mario leaves the area and then comes back, the family will disappear, except for the one by the Wasteland Giga Bell. If Mario or Bowser Jr. attack an Oyaneko, it does not take damage, and confetti appears instead.
Like their kittens, Oyaneko become corrupted while Fury Bowser is active and attack Mario.
