Kat & Ana (カット&アナ, Kat & Ana) are recurring characters of the WarioWare series.

Origin

Kat and Ana as depicted in official artwork for WarioWare: Touched!, the basis of their design in Brawl.

Kat & Ana, whose names are a pun on the word katana, are young twin ninjas, each with pink and orange hair respectively, who adore living things, specially animals and flowers. They debuted in the first WarioWare game and have appeared in nearly every game in the series since then generally as employees of WarioWare, Inc. In each new title, they offer a different short story with a set of microgames to go with it.

Kat & Ana's microgames will focus on either a specific type of controller input, such as drawing on the Nintendo DS touch screen like in WarioWare: Touched!, or as having all of them have a specific theme around them, such as all of them being related to nature like in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

They are depicted as kindergarten students, but they're also skilled ninjas and are typically seen fighting large monsters with a variety of ninjutsu skills. Kat, the oldest out of the two, is typically determined and strong willed, and is also the one who tends to take down most of the bad guys they encounter. Ana, the youngest out of the two, is generally more quiet and watchful, while always being happy to accompany Kat in many of their adventures.

Their appearance as Assist Trophies may have been inspired by the attack Kat performs on the Elephant Ogre in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, as while it merely involves Kat and clones of herself she created, the slashes she performs are similar.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As an Assist Trophy

Kat & Ana appear as Assist Trophy characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Upon being summoned, the duo will say either "Katana!", "Ninja!", "Shuriken!", or "Hai-yah!" then fly upwards. They will then fly in from random locations off-screen, crossing at a random opponent's location. They will repeat this seven times, however they always cross at the same point they initially chose, even if there's no opponent there. They both deal 10% damage on contact, or 20% if they hit at the same time. Kat & Ana are the Assist Trophy parallels to the Pokémon Latias and Latios.

Kat and Ana both move at 7 units per frame and will disappear after 1400 frames, though even on a large stage such as New Pork City they will complete their seven attacks well before it comes into play.

Their voices are ripped directly from the voice samples in WarioWare: Smooth Moves for the Wii.

Kat and Ana have a spawn chance of 30/760.

Twin female ninjas who attend Diamond City Kindergarten. Kat, the older of the two, has pink hair, while the younger Ana has orange hair. Both of the girls are still very young, but they're also very respectful and address their superiors as budding ninjas should. Kat and Ana have a soft spot for living things. Kat loves cats, and Ana is attracted to flowers.

Kat & Ana

These ninja twin sisters of the Iga Clan attend Diamond City Kindergarten. The high-tech katanas they carry, made by Dr. Crygor, are like an extension of their own bodies. They strike at incredible speed with devastating attacks. By the way, Kat is the one with pink hair.

Telling these twin sisters apart is easy: Kat's hair is pink; Ana's is orange. They both go to Diamond City Kindergarten, love nature, and train as ninjas with the Iga clan. In this game, they deliver an impressive joint cross-slash attack with the gigantic high-tech swords Dr. Crygor made them.

Spirit

Kat & Ana appear as a master spirit. Their dojo is located in the wasteland section of the Light Realm in World of Light.
