If you like a good love story, superheroes and pets, here's one story that will give you all that. Meet Koma and Ultraman. Koma is a ginger tabby who lives in Japan with his best friend Ultraman, a figurine version of the Japanese superhero. Their "love story" has been very well documented in two separate Instagram accounts: @komagram2015 and @komakotakoyukote. From their first day together to the time Koma started to walk, got sick and learned to be a cat, Ultraman was always there for him. Because they are super cute together, Koma and Ultraman have gained as of this posting 127,000 and 51,400 Instagram followers, respectively. Their photos show their special relationship, but unless you can read Japanese characters, the captions don't help. Then one day, @pleasantcats shared an English "subtitle" that recounted how Koma and Ultraman's love story came about from the first time they met. Here's the excerpt, apparently as told by one Mai Narushima to LoveMeow. "A Japanese family rescued a tiny three-day-old kitten who was found without his mom and siblings. They took him home and gave him an unusual friend to grow up with. They named him Koma. "When they found the little orphaned kitten, his eyes hadn't (sic) even opened...They wanted to document Koma's growth and get him a friend to keep him company. When they saw the Ultraman figurine, who was at the same length as the tiny kitten, they thought it was perfect. "The family placed Ultraman next to their precious furbaby. It looked as if the Japanese super hero was watching over him.” Today, Koma has grown into a handsome tabby bigger than his one and only knight in shining armor. He and Ultraman have found new cat friends to hang out with, but they remain exclusively BFFs to one another. Theirs is an imagined love between friends, of course, but anyone who comes across their story is just happy to play along. -- MetroPets
