Necomimi first became popular within the anime and costume communities in Japan because of a viral Youtube video by Neurowear, a fashion electronics company. Since then, audiences have been eagerly awaiting the US launch.

Today's unveiling took place at Comic-Con booth #305. Fans who have been following the Necomimi product were among the first in line to demonstrate and purchase the product.

The cat ears use three emotional states to create cat-like reactive movements that show how interested or relaxed the wearer is.  When something catches the user's attention, the ears shoot straight up.  When the wearer is relaxed, the ears droop down.  When both highly focused and highly relaxed—or "in the zone"—the ears will wiggle back and forth.

Necomimi is great for parties, tailgating at sporting events, bachelorette parties, cosplay, and can be used anytime to entertain friends and family.
