Japanese warrior cat in traditional samurai armor, menpo raised on forehead, fur slightly ruffled. Dynamic action pose, mid-leap, paw on katana hilt, fierce focused expression. Black and white, high contrast dramatic lighting — strong chiaroscuro, deep black shadows, bright white highlights. No background, plain soft pastel light backdrop (almost white, very pale beige). Clean negative space. Ink brush texture, sharp edges, detailed fur and armor, monochrome, manga and sumi-e hybrid style.
