In 2007, Tama (yes, a cat) was named Kishi's new station master - she was even given her own tiny conductor's uniform! Her appointment brought immediate publicity to the line and boosted its passenger count by 17% within a year.
Last year, Tama received a promotion! She was named to the post of operating officer for her dedication to customer service on the line. As part of the position, Tama received her own "office" - a renovated former ticket booth at the station. She is now the only female in a managerial position of the company's 36 total employees, and the only feline in history to become an executive of a railroad corporation! She technically holds the 5th highest position in the company! Read more about this crazy promotion.
Tama has her own Wikipedia article as well (quite an accomplishment for a cat) so you can learn more about this remarkable cat.
