To be honest I see him as a lynx/bobcat

Neku Sakuraba from TWEWY is a Margay! (Leopardus wiedii)

Requested by @glovedghosts !

A unique species of cat with a solitary nature and incredible night vision, the margay is wholly adaptated for true aboreal life-- they have incredible joint flexibility in the hind legs, and are able to run headfirst down trees like squirrels! The margay is the first neotropical predator recorded as using mimicry, with calls able to closely imitate the vocalisation produced by their preferred prey-- in the original obeservation, specifically the sounds of a juvenile tamarin.
