In 2006 to
optimize expenses, Japanese Railway station company in prefecture Wakayama hired
several workers for the position of supervisor. One of the new employees took
several straying cats with her for the work and later company decided to hire
one of the cats by the name Tama to supervisor position. Tama’s main duty was
to meet and welcome passenger. This news spread all over the country in a short
time and increased the passengers of the station. It has been estimated that
cat Tama brought more than milliard Yens to the local economy. For these merits
Tama was raised to the stationmaster, and worked in the company until his
death in 2015 .
