NOVELTY - Hydrocarbon reforming catalyst (10) comprises: an oxide support (11); and a nickel (12), a metal oxide (13), and an alkali metal or alkali earth metal (14) supported by the oxide support.    USE - The hydrocarbon reforming catalyst is useful in a fuel cell (claimed), which is useful in personal use, industrial applications and automobiles.    ADVANTAGE - The hydrocarbon reforming catalyst has high coking resistance to increase its catalytic activity.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the method of manufacturing a hydrocarbon reforming catalyst, comprising either: loading nickel onto an oxide support to obtain a first resultant structure, loading a metal oxide onto the first resultant structure, and loading alkali metal or alkali earth metal, where the alkali metal or alkali earth metal is loaded at least one time before the nickel is loaded, after the nickel is loaded, before the metal oxide is loaded or after the metal oxide is loaded; or loading a metal oxide onto an oxide support to obtain a first resultant structure, loading nickel onto the first resultant structure, and loading an alkali metal or alkali earth metal, where the alkali metal or alkali earth metal is loaded at, at least one time before the metal oxide is loaded, after the metal oxide is loaded, before the nickel is loaded or after the nickel is loaded; or simultaneously loading a metal oxide and nickel onto an oxide support, and loading a alkali metal or alkali earth metal, where the alkali metal or alkali earth metal is loaded before or after the metal oxide and nickel are simultaneously loaded; or simultaneously loading nickel, a metal oxide, and an alkali metal or alkali earth metal onto an oxide support.
