Whoa...
― Picture quote, Wild World


Moe (ジンペイ, Jinpei?) is a lazy cat villager in the Animal Crossing series. His name possibly comes from the sound a cat often makes in Chinese, "Miāo", or "Māo", (喵, 猫) meaning cat, or after the rare breed of cat (the Egyptian Mau) depending on the pronunciation of his name. It could also possibly refer to the type of anime/manga term "moe". His catchphrase, myawn, is a combination of the onomatopoeias "meow" and "yawn", which reflects his lazy personality. His Japanese name, Jinpei, is a combination of jinbei, a form of Japanese nightwear (also reflecting his lazy personality), and Shinpei, a common name in Japan.

He is featured on the cover of K.K. Marathon and he has the play hobby.

Personality

Below is a brief description of the lazy personality. For more information, click here.

As a lazy villager, Moe will be friendly and easy to get along with due to his laid back lifestyle. Like all lazy villagers, he has a love of food and relaxing. He will enjoy partaking in the usual hobbies, usually for relaxing reasons or for food, like when fishing. Moe will get along well with other villagers, but may offend or confuse jock villagers, who have a lifestyle of exercise and fitness, which conflicts with the lazy lifestyle of relaxing and food. He will get along with other lazy villagers with whom he will talk about food, comics, or superheroes. He will also get along well with normal, peppy, smug, and sisterly villagers, and occasionally cranky villagers, but may from time to time annoy snooty villagers, who disagree with the lazy lifestyle.

House[]

In Animal Forest e+, Moe has the same furniture styling as Bubbles the hippo does. The only differences are that that the carpet is the classroom floor and the wallpaper is the green wall. Moe and Bubbles' houses include the rare photo of Tom Nook, just like Kit the squirrel, O'Hare the rabbit, Norma the cow, and Prince the frog.

In Wild World and City Folk, Moe has part of a classroom theme in his house. Moe's house has the green wall and the music room floor. Originally, his house contains a blue bed, a kiddie dresser, an anatomical model, a green table, a dice stereo, a vision tester, model skeleton, and a stadiometer. His dice stereo plays K.K. Ragtime.

In New Leaf, Moe's house resembles a hospital with various anatomical models and a stripe bed behind a curtain. He also has a skeleton and a stripe sofa. His CD player plays K.K. Ragtime, and he has the blue wall and music room floor.

In New Horizons, Moe has various furniture from the wooden-block set (New Horizons), including the wooden-block wall clock, wooden-block chest, and a wooden-block bench with a wooden low table. He also has the cute music player and cute DIY table from the cute set, as well as a throwback race-car bed, throwback rocket, and a throwback container with a toy box. For wallpaper, he uses the blue subway-tile wall, and for flooring, he uses the stripe flooring. He plays Two Days Ago on his cute music player.
