'''Kat & Ana''' ({{ja|カット&アナ|Katto & Ana}}, ''Kat & Ana'') are young twin ninjas from the [[wikipedia:WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. Combining their names will spell {{s|wikipedia|katana}}, a type of Japanese sword, which is also the same sword they recurrently use through out their appearances.

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

Origin[edit]

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've 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[edit]

As an Assist Trophy[edit]

Kat & Ana attacking in Brawl.

Kat & Ana appear as Assist Trophy characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Kat and Ana use a special dance combination, in which they fly in from various locations off-screen and cross over at the summoner's opponent(s). Any characters that make contact with either Kat or Ana will take 10% damage. If Kat and Ana both hit, characters that are caught in the X will take 20% damage. Kat & Ana are the Assist Trophy parallels to the Pokémon Latias and Latios.

An interesting fact to note is that their voices are ripped directly from the voice samples in WarioWare: Smooth Moves for the Wii. Upon being summoned, the duo will say either "Ninja!" or "Katana!".
