3	''Mighty Cat Masked Niyandar'' (ニャニがニャンだーニャンダーかめん), or often known as ''Nyanda Kamen'' is a children's anime series which aired on Creator/TVAsahi from February 2000 to September 2001 in Japan. The series is about Nyago-Chan, who takes up the superhero identity of Mighty Cat Masked Niyander, the protector of his hometown Cat Town. So it's ComicBook/{{Shazam}} with [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals talking animals]].

5	If the artstyle looks familiar to you, the series was created by Creator/TakashiYanase, who also did ''Literature/{{Anpanman}}''. Like Anpanman, it was written as a series of books in the late 1990s, which spanned into the anime.

7	Sadly, unlike its parent series, it only lasted for about 83 episodes. It gained a cult following when the episodes were uploaded online years later.

10	!!''Mighty Cat Masked Niyandar'' provides examples of the following tropes:
11
12	* BlushSticker: Most of the characters have this.
13	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Niyander has to rescue others whenever someone says "help!".
14	* ColorWash: Most of the characters that have red colors look pinkish in the show than how they're depicted in the covers.
15	* InformedSpecies: Nyaon is a cat, but doesn't look anything like one. It's later stated that when he's untrimmed, he looks like a scruffy-looking cat.
16	%% * NonHumanSidekick: Pidori.
17	* PieEyed: Nyago-Chan gets these when he turns into Niyander.
18	* QuietlyPerformingSisterShow: Compared to the more iconic ''Anpanman'', the show didn't have much of an impact and didn't last as long, ending with just 83 episodes.
19	* ReusedCharacterDesign: Because the series was done by Takashi Yanase, you'll recognize some of the characters designs from ''Anpanman''. Funnily enough, some of the original designs were cross-pollinated to said series.
20	* SecretKeeper: Nyago-Chan's Miko eventually discovers his brother's identity and becomes a superhero in the same episode.
21	* VillainyFreeVillain: Nyaon. He isn't a bad guy, just someone jealous of Niyander.
