Cat's Eye
Cat's Eye, 貓眼
Cat's Eye (キャッツ アイ Kyattsu Ai) is a Japanese manga by Tsukasa Hojo. The manga was made into an anime series which was originally broadcast in 1983. Cat's Eye has also aired in a number of countries outside Japan, including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Philippines and China. On April 16, 2007, ImaginAsian announced that they would broadcast the first season of Cat's Eye on ImaginAsian TV, and would thereafter give the series its first North American home video release. The show began broadcasting in June of that year, with the first DVD released later that September.
The protagonists of the series are the three Kisugi sisters — Rui (来生泪), Hitomi (来生瞳) and Ai (来生愛) — who run a café called Cat's Eye. The sisters lead a double life as a trio of highly skilled art thieves, leaving cards with the name "Cat's Eye" at the scene of their crimes. They steal works of art (mostly paintings) that belonged to their long-missing father, Michael Heinz (ミケール・ハインツ, who was a famous art collector during the Nazi regime), in the hopes of him contacting them.
Toshio Utsumi (内海俊夫), the young clumsy police officer investigating the Cat's Eye case is the fiancé of Hitomi and a frequent visitor of the café. He swears to capture and bring down the Cat's Eye Gang, but is completely clueless about the sisters' true identities. Hitomi regularly informs the police in advance about her next job, and then uses Toshio's research about the security surrounding it to help plan the job.
