"She never complains, even though passengers touch her all over the place. She is an amazing cat. She has patience and charisma. She is the perfect station master," said Yoshiko Yamaki, a spokeswoman for the rail company.

The cat has spawned a range of popular merchandise, including a picture book called: "Diary of Tama, the Station Master."
