Ryoko Kikuchi was strolling home from a Tokyo movie theater when she saw a cat the size of a yacht strutting high above the sidewalk, coyly licking its paws.
¡°The way it was meowing was too cute to bear,¡± she says.
A lot of people in Tokyo feel the same way, no matter that the cat is just a bunch of pixels on a billboard. The 4K display does not officially ¡°open¡± until Monday, but it has already drawn socially distanced crowds ¡ª and inspired many social media posts ¡ª since its installation last month.
