Nene-chan is the slightly moe, soothing character of Arima Kaido Yuwa who debuted this June. She is a descendant of Nene, the wife of Hideyoshi, who recuperated in Arima, and an apprentice proprietress of a hot-spring inn. She loves being held by children. Her younger brother Hidetan was born from Taikō's sen-nari gourd.
