Shin Mao is the father of Mao Mao and his sisters and a indirect overarching antagonist in Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart.

Shin Mao is an elderly cat, resembling a Siamese with long whiskers. Like his son, he has dark fur, albeit in a lighter, charcoal-gray shade. He wears a large golden mechanized suit of armor, and a large red cape that is noticeably tattered near the bottom. The suit allows him to fly, grants him strength to lift objects many times his actual size, and shields his body from harm.

Without his armor, he wears a blue suit, but he is also actually much smaller and shorter than his son.

Heavily inspired by the fathers of protagonists of Shonen Anime, Shin Mao is a legendary and massively powerful warrior and hero who comes from a long line of heroes known as the Mao Clan. Shin Mao has a wife, 5 daughters, and 1 son, that Son being Mao Mao. Perceiving Mao Mao as the small and weak runt of the litter, Shin Mao gifted his daughter with the five magical golden weapons passed down through the clan and only gave Mao Mao a normal katana that only had the ability to glow somewhat. Shin Mao has been extremely neglectful and dismissive of his youngest child and only son from the day he was born. Naming him the surname of his family twice. He often belittles by Mao Mao and everything he has and does as being small. It is likely that this is due to the fact that he projects his own insecurities of being small on to his son. As he is helpless without his massive war suit.

As a result Mao Mao has a number of daddy issues, trauma, emotional insecurity, and an obsession to become as legendary as his father so that he will finally love and respect him.

Shin Mao is voiced by Clancy Brown, who is best known as being the voice of Eugene Krabs from Spongebob Squarepants.
