Nekogigi are a species of small Japanese Catfish, their range confined to one prefecture. He is a relatively small fish, growing to an average length of 10.8 cm. During the day he lurks beneath rocks and in crevices, venturing out to forage at night. His barbels are sensitive organs, containing taste buds, and help him to forage amongst the substrate for crustaceans, plankton and small fish. If threatened, he is capable of excreting a toxic substance from the spine in his dorsal or pectoral fin.
