The Koyuki Illustration Contest was held from Tuesday, December 3rd 2013 to Tuesday, January 14th 2014 and the winners have finally been decided!

This contest looked for entries that were about Koyuki, a cat whose eyes seem to look angry but she actually carries a really calm and gentle composure. Koyuki is quite a lazy cat. There were two main categories and we’ll introduce the winners below.

Since there were so many wonderful entries, we added a special judges’ prize: the Ashizawa Muneto prize.

【Judges】
Moflicious Okada, the author of the “Koyuki's I'M NOT UPSET!!” column on the How a Cat Feels website
