96Neko (96猫) is an utaite who is well-known for her husky, lower-range vocals, and for being a "ryouseirui". However, she is also able to sing in a higher pitched voice, most clearly seen in her cover of "Soratobazu" . During her early utaite career she often did duets with Kagamine Rin/Len when it came to Vocaloid covers. She also sang many parody songs, mostly duets with Len or vipTenchou. Come later years she sings with Amatsuki in duets often.
She is also known for adding humorous lyrics and random serifu in songs, like in "trick and treat" , "Matryoshka" , and "Aa, Subarashiki Nyansei" .
96Neko has requested that people should not record her namahousous and redistribute them; however, she is fine with people recording them for personal entertainment usage.
Her album, Iris, which was released three days before her twentieth birthday, is her way of saying thank you to her fans and supporters prior to her turning 20. It should be considered a final statement of her teenage years as an utaite.
96Neko is also a Virtual YouTuber, operating under the name Kuroki Natsume.
