Remember is was the master of the Neko Ramen stand who saved Ozu and Watashi from Honwaka and Aijima mysteriously... I think that the master of Neko Ramen is actually the "big boss" of the Lucky Cat Chinese Restaurant. He knew all about the history of the proxy-proxy war, too...

A little late on this, but just wanted to post some thoughts on episode 9.

Specifically, the parallels you can find between "Neko Hanten" - the secret society - and "Neko Ramen" - Watashi's usual hangout. I believe the naming is no coincidence - Chinese restaurants in Japan usually serve a number of ramen dishes as main entrees. This links them very well thematically - one is "authentic" ramen, and the other "inauthentic" ramen - but more on that in the post.
