Kitsune understood lessons and were willing to put up with anything if it was explained to them in the context of learning a skill, and liked teaching lessons as much as learning them.
- Kitsune is generally a "good" person, in that he stands up for the oppressed and helpless. However, his lack of emotional sympathy, and merciless attitude towards his enemies causes him to come off as little more than a punk who does what it takes to get what he wants.
- A kitsune is a monster that, in appearance, looks somewhat similar to werewolves, but with a more fox-like than wolf-like appearance. Kitsunes seem to be very rare and uncommon. They feed on the pituitary gland, a part of the brain- without it, they will die. In 1998, Dean and John hunted one while leaving Sam alone where he encountered the daughter of the kitsune they were hunting.
- Electronic attack ships are mobile, resilient electronic warfare platforms. Although well suited to a variety of situations, they really come into their own in skirmish and fleet encounters, particularly against larger ships. For anyone wanting to decentralize their fleet’s electronic countermeasure capabilities and make them immeasurably harder to counter, few things will serve better than a squadron or two of these little vessels. Lai Dai have always favored a balanced approach to their mix of on-board systems, leading to a line-up of versatile ships but providing very little in terms of tactical specialization.

- Kitsune (狐) is the Japanese word for fox. In Japanese folklore, foxes that have lived for very long lifespans develop above-average human intelligence and supernatural powers. As yōkai they are infamous for being mischievous tricksters. Kitsune can perform fox magic, which includes such abilities as fire conjuring, size manipulation, and, most notably, shape-shifting, which allows them to take on the appearance of anyone or anything they choose by placing a leaf on their heads. However, they are often given away by their tail, which they have difficulty in hiding. Strangely, Shippō, despite being a kitsune, has a distinctly human-like appearance.

- Kitsune(狐, IPA: [kitsɯne] (File:Speaker Icon.svg listen)) is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore and are akin to European faeries; in English, kitsune refers to them in this context.

While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others—as foxes in folklore often do—other stories portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives.

When a kitsune becomes old and powerful enough they become able to take human form. It was also thought that for each 100 years a kitsune lived it grew an additional tail; when gained the ninth one and became a kyuubi no kitsune its fur would turn golden or white and it would gain omniscient-like powers.

- Kitsune is shown as an anthropomorphic fox who once helped Emperor Daisho protect Yokai Island from invaders. When Emperor Daisho started welcoming outsiders to Yokai Island, his desire to not have outsiders on Yokai Island led Drakath into Chaorrupting him into an armored Yokai Shogun. After the hero visits the Yokai Shrines, he/she confronts Kitsune who uses the Hanzamune Dragon Koi Blade to release the O-Dokuro from the Rift of Time. While in the Chaos Realm, Drakath revived the Chaos form of Kitsune to fight the players.

- The origin of the kitsune legend is still unknown but is most likely related to this japanese folktale. Ono, who lived in Mino, often spent his time longing for female beauty (a wife). He met her one night on a moor and decided to marry her. Although with the birth of their son, Ono's dog also gave birth. The pup's opinion toward Ono's wife harshened as it grew and one day she begged her husband to kill it (of course he refused). At last one day, the dog had enough and attacked the woman. She then lost all her courage, turned back into a fox, and left. Then Ono cried out to her, "Even though you are a fox, you are the mother of my son and I love you! Come back when you please; you are always welcome."
- Kitsune usually refers to the women who were offsprings of the Fox Maidens and the rune using males, as well as to the demigods themselves. A fox maiden is a form of a demidemon. They are shapeshifters who can transform into both humans and foxes, and are indiginous to Japan. Their main power is vision-casting, allowing them to be able to alter reality. The Fox Maidens shared their blood with the Kogitsune men and beared Kitsune daughters. Kitsune (キツネ) means fox in Japanese.
- Kitsuné (pronounced "keetsunay") is actually the Japanese word for fox. But it can also refer to a type of Youkai in Japanese mythology, an intelligent fox spirit creature with magical powers, including Shapeshifting (particularly to human form), enchantment, illusions, Cold Flames, and supernatural wisdom. In fox form, they tend to grow additional tails as they get older, up to nine in total (known as Kyūbi no Kitsuné). See also Youkai, Little Bit Beastly, Petting Zoo People, and The Fair Folk.

Często osiedlają się w pradawnych, rodowych siedzibach gdzie mogą czerpać mądrość i opowieści od przodków, tych żywych jak i tych martwych. Kitsune nie są zbyt religijne i traktują wiarę w bogów z obojętnością, lecz jeśli już czczą jakieś Moce, to są to bogowie rzemieślnictwa i sztuki. Chęć poznania nieznanych i egzotycznych legend, mitów i opowieści o antycznych bohaterach jest często powodem dla którego kitsune wyruszają na szlak i stają się poszukiwaczami przygód. Ze względu na to, że są bardzo bystre i zwinne, kitsune to urodzeni bardowie i łotrzykowie. Sztuka, w sensie magii wtajemniczeń nie jest wśród nich niecodziennym widokiem. Te osobniki które urodzą się z śnieżnobiałym futrem i jasnymi oczami bardzo często zostają namaszczone jako wyrocznie.

The kyuubi no kitsune (literally 'the nine-tailed fox') is a powerful youkai (Japanese word for spiritual and otherwise supernatural creatures in folklore) commonly seen in Japan, China, and Korea. Records of the nine-tailed fox can be seen first in China. It is a benevolent, if not outright divine creature, and anyone who can encounter one and live to tell the tale is destined to become a lord or even the emperor. In Korea these creatures wish to become human, often by stealing the life force of human males by transforming into a woman and seducing them. Common folklore depicts them as more violent creatures that actively prey on male human livers and corpses. In Japan, however, nine-tailed foxes are often depicted as evil and massively powerful entities, their power nearly equaling that of deities.

- Kitsune is simply Japanese for fox, but outside Japan it has come to mean anthropomorphic fox beings that are rather more than simple foxes. They're are found all over the world, but Japan has the dubious pleasure of being the place they are best understood. The very first one is known as The Lady. Apparently one of the incredibly powerful Hindu “magical” psychic beings that thinks of its self as a god gave high intelligence, strong psychic powers and an anthropomorphic build to a female Vulpes vulpes, a vixen in India some time around the dawn of civilization. She will not give any specifics even when asked really tactfully. Perhaps if Terry Gross got her on Fresh Air, we might find out something really interesting. The being gave her the traditional Hindu deity multiple limbs to her so she ended up with ten tails. [Possible TMI (Too Much Information) warning for the rest of the paragraph.] She does look good with nice breasts with sensitive black nipples and areolae, the kind that are well proportioned without being too big. She also has the typical kitsune lanky digitigrade legs. The furverted god that made her kitsune tried a little too hard to persuade her to be his mate. Just look for the god in the Hindu pantheon noted for the large vixen bite mark. Being the only one of her kind, she got lonely. She tried to change another fox into what she is but found him a lousy conversationalist. He did get the hang of speech after 300 years. He also got her pregnant taking care of other needs. She found humans made better kitsune converts at least initially. It works especially well if it is voluntary on the part of the human. She came up with an arcane yet kinky transformation ritual for humans of which there are now numerous versions floating around. [Possible TMI for the rest of the paragraph.] Most evolved into the spiritual equivalent of a gangbang (having sex with multiple partners in quick succession, not two street gangs fighting). If you meet up with any kitsune, be careful. You may not want to live a particularly exotic lifestyle (or have your soul eaten if they are not particularly nice!). The ritual sort of feels like that hopeless state of deep arousal and sensory overload some people go through the first time they have sex, where the person enters a disorienting altered state and if the person is male, they can not ejaculate if their life depended on it. Seeing the sun come up after that much hard physical activity all night, feeling more awake and alive than the person did at bed time would be odd enough but for the really odd sensation of being in a completely different kind of body and mind and having remarkably well developed senses and a wagable tail! If you ever smell a foxy (skunk like) odor at the the mad scientist, science fiction or furry convention, one or more people will probably leave rather different from when they showed up. Someone will get stuck with the cleaning bill to make the room stop smelling like a fox ranch at breeding season. Fortunately they usually “passed the hat” and made sure to give the room renter (usually one of the initiates!) enough money to cover the post ceremony cleaning. It can be remarkably entertaining if hotel staff walk into the room at many of the more interesting climactic periods of the process.XD
- Kitsune is the Japanese word for Fox. In Layflat Castle Falkenstein, they represent a type of Faerie that originates from the Eastern cultures (China, Japan, Korea, and India). In their native form, Kitsune resemble anthropomorphic foxes, sometimes with multiple tails (stories suggest that the more tails a Kitsune has, the older and wiser it is). They have excellent shapeshifting powers, similar to other Faerie, and often take the form of a human (although some legends indicate that they have trouble losing their fox tail entirely, much like the pointed ears of Faerie Lords). They are known as tricksters, seductresses, and have the unique ability (Kindred Power) of creating kitsune-bi (foxfire).

Come back when you please; you are always welcome." Every night, she snuck back to Ono's house and slept in his arms. The reason why that story is the most believable one is because kitsune also means sleep if pronounced kitsu-ne, and always comes if pronounced ki-tsune.
- Yoshine Kyuuzou (芳根(よしね) 九蔵(きゅうぞう)), also known as Kitsune (きつね), is a scout character introduced in Inazuma Eleven GO.
- Kitsune is shown as an anthropomorphic fox who once helped Emperor Daisho protect Yokai Island from invaders. When Emperor Daisho started welcoming outsiders to Yokai Island, his desire to not have outsiders on Yokai Island led Drakath into Chaorrupting him into an armored Yokai Shogun. Kitsune rallied the Kappa Ninjas, Ninja Nopperabos, Samurai Nopperabos, Tanukis, Tsukumo-gamis, and Funa-Yureis to join his cause into claiming Yokai Island for the Yokai. His henchmen are Dai Tengu, SoulTaker, Onibaba, Nure Onna, and Neko Mata. He used his ability to brainwash Emperor Daisho causing his daughter Princess Ai No Miko to hold a tournament in order to find a champion to fight Kitsune. During the tournament, Kitsune eventually arrived and stole the Hanzamune Dragon Koi Blade from Princess Miko. After the hero visits the Yokai Shrines, he/she confronts Kitsune who uses the Hanzamune Dragon Koi Blade to release the O-Dokuro from the Rift of Time. After defeating O-Dokuro and an army of Yokai, the hero confronts Kitsune and managed to defeat him as well as reclaim the Hanzamune Dragon Koi Blade. When Kitsune refuses to admit defeat, he charges the hero until they unknowingly opened a rift which sucked Kitsune into the Yokai World and then closed the rift up. While in the Chaos Realm, Drakath revived the Chaos form of Kitsune to fight the players.

- Kitsune is the first openly known shapeshifter musician, and specialized in astral heavy metal. She is a red fox shapeshifter from Neo-Tokyo, who'd often wear a fake fox tail while in human form. She is a Mage Shadowrunner who was responsible for reviving Jake Armitage during 2050. Jake had the chance, to recruit her from the Jagged Nails Club in the Downtown district. If Jake did so, and defeated a Rat Shaman with Kitsune in the party, Kitsune will permanently remain with Jake unless she perishes during the events and is the only one who stays alive along with Jake after the fight at the roof of the Aneki tower. She also gave birth to a litter of kits. She died in 2071 at the Neo-Tokyo Tower from silver-plated blades thrown at her skull by an Oni hitman. Just before she the blades pierced her skull, she astrally projected. In her astral form, she hired and aided a team of Shadowrunners through the fixer Take Ono to investigate her own murder. It turned out that Jubei Takeshi, the owner of Manasonic (the record company who Kitsune used) orchestrated her murder to cash in on her death and frame a rival astral rock band; Mistah Skelington and the All Ghoul Review.

He and his child appeared in Episode 5.
- Description[1] Kitsuné (狐?)(Pronunciation) (help·info) is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. Foremost among these is the ability to assume human form. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others — as foxes in folklore often do — others portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives. Foxes and human beings lived in close proximity in ancient Japan; this companionship gave rise to legends about the creatures. Kitsune have become closely associated with Inari, a Shinto kami or spirit, and serve as his messengers. This role has reinforced the fox's supernatural significance. The more tails a kitsune has — they may have as many as nine — the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. Because of their potential power and influence, some people make offerings to them as to a deity. Origins[1] There is debate whether the kitsune myths originated entirely from foreign sources or are in part an indigenous Japanese concept dating as far back as the fifth century BC. It is widely agreed that at least some fox myths in Japan can be traced to China, Korea, or India. Many of the earliest surviving stories are recorded in the Konjaku Monogatari, an 11th-century collection of Chinese, Indian, and Japanese narratives.[1] Chinese folk tales tell of kitsune-like fox spirits that may have up to nine tails. In Korea, a kumiho (nine-tail fox) is a mythical creature that has lived for 1,000 years. Differences exist; for instance the kumiho is always depicted as evil, unlike its Japanese counterpart. Nevertheless, scholars such as Ugo A. Casal suggest that the similarities show that fox myths spread from Indian sources such as the Hitopadesha to China and Korea, and ultimately to Japan. In contrast, Japanese folklorist Kiyoshi Nozaki argues that the Japanese regarded kitsune positively as early as the 4th century A.D.; the only things imported from China or Korea were the kitsune's negative attributes.[3] He states that, according to a 16th-century book of records called the Nihon Ryakki, foxes and human beings lived in close proximity in ancient Japan, and he contends that indigenous legends about the creatures arose as a result. Inari scholar Karen Smyers notes that the idea of the fox as seductress and the connection of the fox myths to Buddhism were introduced into Japanese folklore through similar Chinese stories, but she maintains that some fox stories contain elements unique to Japan. Etymology[1] The full etymology is unknown. The oldest known usage of the word is in the 794 text Shin'yaku Kegonkyō Ongi Shiki (新訳華厳経音義私記?). Other old sources include Nihon Ryōiki (810-824) and Wamyō Ruijushō (c. 934). These oldest sources are written in Man'yōgana which clearly identifies the historical spelling as ki1tune. Following several diachronic phonological changes, this becomes kitsune. Many etymological suggestions have been made; however, there is no general agreement. Myōgoki (1268) suggests that it is so called because it is “always (tsune) yellow (ki)”. Early Kamakura period Mizukagami indicates that it means “came (ki) [perfective case particle tsu] to bedroom (ne)” due to a legend that a kitsune would change into one's wife and bear children. Arai Hakuseki in Tōga (1717) suggests that ki means “stench”, tsu is a possessive particle, and ne is related to inu, the word for “dog”. Tanikawa Kotosuga in Wakun no Shiori (1777-1887) suggests that ki means “yellow”, tsu is a possessive particle, and ne is related to neko, the word for cat. Ōtsuki Fumihiko in Daigenkai (1932-1935) proposes that kitsu is an onomatopoeia for the animal, and that ne is an affix or an honorific word meaning a servant of an Inari shrine. According to Nozaki, the word kitsune was originally onomatopoeia. Kitsu represented a fox's yelp and came to be the general word for fox. -Ne signifies an affectionate mood, which Nozaki presents as further evidence of an established, non-imported tradition of benevolent foxes in Japanese folklore.[3] Kitsu is now archaic; in modern Japanese, a fox's cry is transcribed as kon kon or gon gon. One of the oldest surviving kitsune tales provides a widely known folk etymology of the word kitsune; the story is now known to be false. Unlike most tales of kitsune who become human and marry human males, this one does not end tragically: Ono, an inhabitant of Mino (says an ancient Japanese legend of A.D. 545), spent the seasons longing for his ideal of female beauty. He met her one evening on a vast moor and married her. Simultaneously with the birth of their son, Ono's dog was delivered of a pup which as it grew up became more and more hostile to the lady of the moors. She begged her husband to kill it, but he refused. At last one day the dog attacked her so furiously that she lost courage, resumed vulpine shape, leaped over a fence and fled. “You may be a fox,” Ono called after her, “but you are the mother of my son and I love you. Come back when you please; you will always be welcome.” So every evening she stole back and slept in his arms. Because the fox returns to her husband each night as a woman but leaves each morning as a fox, she is called Kitsune. In classical Japanese, kitsu-ne means come and sleep, and ki-tsune means always comes. Charateristics[1] Kitsune are believed to possess superior intelligence, long life, and magical powers. They are a type of yōkai, or spiritual entity, and the word kitsune is often translated as fox spirit. However, this does not mean that kitsune are ghosts, nor that they are fundamentally different from regular foxes. Because the word spirit is used to reflect a state of knowledge or enlightenment, all long-lived foxes gain supernatural abilities. There are two common classifications of kitsune. The myōbu are benevolent, celestial foxes associated with Inari; they are sometimes simply called Inari foxes. On the other hand, the wild nogitsune (literally, field foxes) tend to be mischievous or even malicious. Local traditions add further types. For example, a ninko is an invisible fox spirit that human beings can only perceive when it possesses them. Another tradition classifies kitsune into one of thirteen types defined by which supernatural abilities the kitsune possesses. Physically, kitsune are noted for having as many as nine tails. Generally, a greater number of tails indicates an older and more powerful fox; in fact, some folktales say that a fox will only grow additional tails after it has lived 1,000 years. One, five, seven, and nine tails are the most common numbers in folk stories. When a kitsune gains its ninth tail, its fur becomes white or gold. These kyūbi no kitsune (nine-tailed foxes) gain the abilities to see and hear anything happening anywhere in the world. Other tales attribute them infinite wisdom (omniscience). This obake karuta (monster card) from the early 19th century depicts a kitsune. The associated game involves matching clues from folklore to pictures of specific creatures. A kitsune may take on human form, an ability learned when it reaches a certain age — usually 100 years, although some tales say 50. As a common prerequisite for the transformation, the fox must place reeds, a broad leaf, or a skull over its head. Common forms assumed by kitsune include beautiful women, young girls, or elderly men. These shapes are not limited by the fox's age or gender, and a kitsune can duplicate the appearance of a specific person. Foxes are particularly renowned for impersonating beautiful women. Common belief in medieval Japan was that any woman encountered alone, especially at dusk or night, could be a fox. In some stories, kitsune have difficulty hiding their tails when they take human form; looking for the tail, perhaps when the fox gets drunk or careless, is a common method of discerning the creature's true nature. Variants on the theme have the kitsune retain other foxlike traits, such as a coating of fine hair, a fox-shaped shadow, or a reflection that shows its true form. Kitsune-gao or fox-faced refers to human females who have a narrow face with close-set eyes, thin eyebrows, and high cheekbones. Traditionally, this facial structure is considered attractive, and some tales ascribe it to foxes in human form. Kitsune have a fear and hatred of dogs even while in human form, and some become so rattled by the presence of dogs that they revert to the shape of a fox and flee. A particularly devout individual may be able to see through a fox's disguise automatically. One folk story illustrating these imperfections in the kitsune's human shape concerns Koan, a historical person credited with wisdom and magical powers of divination. According to the story, he was staying at the home of one of his devotees when he scalded his foot entering a bath because the water had been drawn too hot. Then, “in his pain, he ran out of the bathroom naked. When the people of the household saw him, they were astonished to see that Koan had fur covering much of his body, along with a fox's tail. Then Koan transformed in front of them, becoming an elderly fox and running away.” Other supernatural abilities commonly attributed to the kitsune include possession, mouths or tails that generate fire or lightning (known as kitsune-bi; literally, fox-fire), willful manifestation in the dreams of others, flight, invisibility, and the creation of illusions so elaborate as to be almost indistinguishable from reality. Some tales speak of kitsune with even greater powers, able to bend time and space, drive people mad, or take fantastic shapes such as a tree of incredible height or a second moon in the sky. Other kitsune have characteristics reminiscent of vampires or succubi and feed on the life or spirit of human beings, generally through sexual contact. Kitsunesuki Kitsunetsuki (狐憑き or 狐付き; also written kitsune-tsuki) literally means the state of being possessed by a fox. The victim is typically a young woman, whom the fox enters beneath her fingernails or through her breasts. In some cases, the victims' facial expressions are said to change in such a way that they resemble those of a fox. Japanese tradition holds that fox possession can cause illiterate victims to temporarily gain the ability to read. Folklorist Lafcadio Hearn describes the condition in the first volume of his Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan: Strange is the madness of those into whom demon foxes enter. Sometimes they run naked shouting through the streets. Sometimes they lie down and froth at the mouth, and yelp as a fox yelps. And on some part of the body of the possessed a moving lump appears under the skin, which seems to have a life of its own. Prick it with a needle, and it glides instantly to another place. By no grasp can it be so tightly compressed by a strong hand that it will not slip from under the fingers. Possessed folk are also said to speak and write languages of which they were totally ignorant prior to possession. They eat only what foxes are believed to like — tofu, aburagé, azukimeshi, etc. — and they eat a great deal, alleging that not they, but the possessing foxes, are hungry.[29] He goes on to note that, once freed from the possession, the victim will never again be able to eat tofu, azukimeshi, or other foods favored by foxes. Exorcism, often performed at an Inari shrine, may induce a fox to leave its host.[30] In the past, when such gentle measures failed or a priest was not available, victims of kitsunetsuki were beaten or badly burned in hopes of forcing the fox to leave. Entire families were ostracized by their communities after a member of the family was thought to be possessed.[29] In Japan, kitsunetsuki was noted as a disease as early as the Heian period and remained a common diagnosis for mental illness until the early 20th century.[31][32] Possession was the explanation for the abnormal behavior displayed by the afflicted individuals. In the late 19th century, Dr. Shunichi Shimamura noted that physical diseases that caused fever were often considered kitsunetsuki.[33] The belief has lost favor, but stories of fox possession still appear in the tabloid press and popular media. One notable occasion involved allegations that members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult had been possessed.[34] In medicine, kitsunetsuki is an ethnic psychosis unique to Japanese culture. Those who suffer from the condition believe they are possessed by a fox.[35] Symptoms include cravings for rice or sweet red beans, listlessness, restlessness, and aversion to eye contact. Kitsunetsuki is similar to but distinct from clinical lycanthropy.[36] Hoshi no tama Depictions of kitsune or their possessed victims may feature round or onion-shaped white balls known as hoshi no tama (star balls). Tales describe these as glowing with kitsune-bi, or fox-fire.[37] Some stories identify them as magical jewels or pearls.[38] When not in human form or possessing a human, a kitsune keeps the ball in its mouth or carries it on its tail.[13] Jewels are a common symbol of Inari, and representations of sacred Inari foxes without them are rare.[39] One belief is that when a kitsune changes shape, its hoshi no tama holds a portion of its magical power. Another tradition is that the pearl represents the kitsune's soul; the kitsune will die if separated from it for long. Those who obtain the ball may be able to extract a promise from the kitsune to help them in exchange for its return.[40] For example, a 12th-century tale describes a man using a fox's hoshi no tama to secure a favor: “Confound you!” snapped the fox. “Give me back my ball!” The man ignored its pleas till finally it said tearfully, “All right, you've got the ball, but you don't know how to keep it. It won't be any good to you. For me, it's a terrible loss. I tell you, if you don't give it back, I'll be your enemy forever. If you do give it back though, I'll stick to you like a protector god.” The fox later saves his life by leading him past a band of armed bandits.[41] Portrayal Servants of Inari Kitsune are associated with Inari, the Shinto deity of rice.[42] This association has reinforced the fox's supernatural significance.[43] Originally, kitsune were Inari's messengers, but the line between the two is now blurred so that Inari himself may be depicted as a fox. Likewise, entire shrines are dedicated to kitsune, where devotees can leave offerings.[9] Fox spirits are particularly fond of a fried sliced tofu called aburage, which is accordingly found in kitsune udon and kitsune soba. Similarly, Inari-zushi is a type of sushi named for Inari that consists of rice-filled pouches of fried tofu.[44] There is speculation among folklorists as to whether another Shinto fox deity existed in the past. Foxes have long been worshipped as kami.[45] Inari's kitsune are white, a color of good omen.[9] They possess the power to ward off evil, and they sometimes serve as guardian spirits. In addition to protecting Inari shrines, they are petitioned to intervene on behalf of the locals and particularly to aid against troublesome nogitsune. Black foxes and nine-tailed foxes are likewise considered good omens.[19] According to beliefs derived from fusui (feng shui), the fox's power over evil is such that a mere statue of a fox can dispel the evil kimon, or energy, that flows from the northeast. Many Inari shrines, such as the famous Fushimi Inari shrine in Kyoto, feature such statues, sometimes large numbers of them. Kitsune are connected to the Buddhist religion through the Dakiniten, goddesses conflated with Inari's female aspect. Dakiniten is depicted as a female boddhisattva wielding a sword and riding a flying white fox. Tricksters Kitsune are often presented as tricksters, with motives that vary from mischief to malevolence. Stories tell of kitsune playing tricks on overly proud samurai, greedy merchants, and boastful commoners, while the crueler ones abuse poor tradesmen and farmers or devout Buddhist monks. Their victims are usually men; women are possessed instead.[18] For example, kitsune are thought to employ their kitsune-bi or fox-fire to lead travelers astray in the manner of a will o' the wisp.[47][48] Another tactic is for the kitsune to confuse its target with illusions or visions.[18] Other common goals of trickster kitsune include seduction, theft of food, humiliation of the prideful, or vengeance for a perceived slight. A traditional game called kitsune-ken (fox-fist) references the kitsune's powers over human beings. The game is similar to rock, paper, scissors, but the three hand positions signify a fox, a hunter, and a village headman. The headman beats the hunter, whom he outranks; the hunter beats the fox, whom he shoots; the fox beats the headman, whom he bewitches.[49][50] This ambiguous portrayal, coupled with their reputation for vengefulness, leads people to try to discover a troublesome fox's motives. In one case, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a high government official, wrote a letter to the kami Inari: To Inari Daimyojin, My lord, I have the honor to inform you that one of the foxes under your jurisdiction has bewitched one of my servants, causing her and others a great deal of trouble. I have to request that you make minute inquiries into the matter, and endeavor to find out the reason of your subject misbehaving in this way, and let me know the result. If it turns out that the fox has no adequate reason to give for his behavior, you are to arrest and punish him at once. If you hesitate to take action in this matter I shall issue orders for the destruction of every fox in the land. Any other particulars that you may wish to be informed of in reference to what has occurred, you can learn from the high priest of Yoshida.[51] Tamamo-no-Mae, a legendary kitsune featured in noh and kyogen plays. Print by Yoshitoshi. Kitsune keep their promises and strive to repay any favor. Occasionally a kitsune attaches itself to a person or household, where they can cause all sorts of mischief. In one story from the 12th century, only the homeowner's threat to exterminate the foxes convinces them to behave. The kitsune patriarch appears in the man's dreams: “My father lived here before me, sir, and by now I have many children and grandchildren. They get into a lot of mischief, I'm afraid, and I'm always after them to stop, but they never listen. And now, sir, you're understandably fed up with us. I gather that you're going to kill us all. But I just want you to know, sir, how sorry I am that this is our last night of life. Won't you pardon us, one more time? If we ever make trouble again, then of course you must act as you think best. But the young ones, sir — I'm sure they'll understand when I explain to them why you're so upset. We'll do everything we can to protect you from now on, if only you'll forgive us, and we'll be sure to let you know when anything good is going to happen!”[52] Other kitsune use their magic for the benefit of their companion or hosts as long as the human beings treat them with respect. As yōkai, however, kitsune do not share human morality, and a kitsune who has adopted a house in this manner may, for example, bring its host money or items that it has stolen from the neighbors. Accordingly, common households thought to harbor kitsune are treated with suspicion.[53] Oddly, samurai families were often reputed to share similar arrangements with kitsune, but these foxes were considered myōbu and the use of their magic a sign of prestige.[54] Abandoned homes were common haunts for kitsune.[18] One 12th-century story tells of a minister moving into an old mansion only to discover a family of foxes living there. They first try to scare him away, then claim that the house “has been ours for many years, and . . . we wish to register a vigorous protest.” The man refuses, and the foxes resign themselves to moving to an abandoned lot nearby.[55] Tales distinguish kitsune gifts from kitsune payments. If a kitsune offers a payment or reward that includes money or material wealth, part or all of the sum will consist of old paper, leaves, twigs, stones, or similar valueless items under a magical illusion.[56][57] True kitsune gifts are usually intangibles, such as protection, knowledge, or long life.[57] Wives and Lovers Kitsune are commonly portrayed as lovers, usually in stories involving a young human male and a kitsune who takes the form of a human woman.[58] The kitsune may be a seductress, but these stories are more often romantic in nature.[59] Typically, the young man unknowingly marries the fox, who proves a devoted wife. The man eventually discovers the fox's true nature, and the fox-wife is forced to leave him. In some cases, the husband wakes as if from a dream, filthy, disoriented, and far from home. He must then return to confront his abandoned family in shame. Many stories tell of fox-wives bearing children. When such progeny are human, they possess special physical or supernatural qualities that often pass to their own children.[19] The astrologer-magician Abe no Seimei was reputed to have inherited such extraordinary powers.[60] Other stories tell of kitsune marrying one another. Rain falling from a clear sky — a sunshower — is sometimes called kitsune no yomeiri or the kitsune's wedding, in reference to a folktale describing a wedding ceremony between the creatures being held during such conditions.[61] The event is considered a good omen, but the kitsune will seek revenge on any uninvited guests.[62] In fiction Embedded in Japanese folklore as they are, kitsune appear in numerous Japanese works. Noh, kyogen, bunraku, and kabuki plays derived from folk tales feature them,[63][64] as do contemporary works such as manga and video games. Western authors of fiction have begun to make use of the kitsune legends. Although these portrayals vary considerably, kitsune are generally depicted in accordance with folk stories, as wise, cunning, and powerful beings. Kuzunoha, mother of Abe no Seimei, is a well-known kitsune character in traditional Japanese theater. She is featured in the five-part bunraku and kabuki play Ashiya Dōman Ōuchi Kagami (The Mirror of Ashiya Dōman and Ōuchi). The fourth part, Kuzunoha or The Fox of Shinoda Wood, is often performed independently of the other scenes and tells of the discovery of Kuzunoha's kitsune nature and her subsequent departure from her husband and child.[65][66] Tamamo-no-Mae is the subject of the noh drama Sesshoseki (The Death Stone) and of kabuki and kyogen plays titled Tamamonomae (The Beautiful Fox Witch). Tamamo-no-Mae commits evil deeds in India, China, and Japan but is discovered and dies. Her spirit transforms into the “killing stone” of the noh play's title. She is eventually redeemed by the Buddhist priest Gennō.[67][68][69] Genkurō is a kitsune renowned for his filial piety. In the bunraku and kabuki drama Yoshitsune Sembon Zakura (Yoshitsune and the Thousand Cherry Trees), Yoshitsune's lover, Lady Shizuka, owns a hand-drum made from the skins of Genkuro's parents. The fox takes human form and becomes his retainer, Satō Tadanobu, but his identity is revealed. The kitsune explains that he hears the voice of his parents when the drum is struck. Yoshitsune and Shizuka give him the drum, so Genkuro grants Yoshitsune magical protection.[70][71][72] In netsuke Kitsune are frequently depicted in netsuke, small carved objects originally intended to fasten a pouch to the sash of a garment. Netsuke have become a form of art known for their depiction of folklore and noh characters. Termonology[2]

- Kitsune usually refers to the women who were offsprings of the Fox Maidens and the rune using males, as well as to the demigods themselves. A fox maiden is a form of a demidemon. They are shapeshifters who can transform into both humans and foxes, and are indiginous to Japan. Their main power is vision-casting, allowing them to be able to alter reality. According to legends they are the demons of hearth and home, and they mated with males in order to raise families. The men they shared their blood with was a dying race who had the ability to draw magic from runes. It made the race stronger and gave them new powers. In return the Fox Maidens asked for devotion. The Fox Maidens shared their blood with the Kogitsune men and beared Kitsune daughters. However, the Kogitsune turned against the Fox Maidens. Using the powers they had gained, they infused them with their runes and used them to protect themselves from serving the Fox Maidens any further. Refusing to produce anymore offsprings for the maidens, many stopped producing and allowed their race to die out. There were some, though, that chose to instead flee to foreign lands and reproduce with other races. Jeremy's mother and his grandmother were one of those who fled. In Kitsunegari, Jeremy Danvers story that appeared in Men of the Otherworld, three Fox Maidens appeared hoping to mate with Jeremy, informing him that he is the last of the Kogitsune. Lying, he told them he had a son and they instead turned their attention to finding this false child of his. When Jeremy drew runes in the air, and his girlfriend Jaime Vegas waved the rune tattooed on her ankle at the fox maidens, they disliked it and would back away. Kitsune (キツネ) means fox in Japanese.
- Kitsune are a race of intelligent, magical foxes who can shapeshift to assume humanoid forms or a monstrous youko form which resembles a bidepal, muscular fox between their true fox form and their humanoid form. The more tails a kitsune has, the older, wiser, and more powerful it is, with a nine-tailed kitsune being the strongest. They reside in Kitsune Mori in Yamato in the Third Age.

- Kitsuné (pronounced "keetsunay") is actually the Japanese word for fox. But it can also refer to a type of Youkai in Japanese mythology, an intelligent fox spirit creature with magical powers, including Shapeshifting (particularly to human form), enchantment, illusions, Cold Flames, and supernatural wisdom. In fox form, they tend to grow additional tails as they get older, up to nine in total (known as Kyūbi no Kitsuné). While their mythological origins have them as divine servants and even gods of a sort, they're also classic Tricksters who mess with mortals for giggles. They usually play their pranks on men, while they have a tendency to possess women. (which shows up as an actual psychological disorder in Japan, similar to clinical lycanthropy elsewhere) This is probably because for some reason they're usually female (or at least Bishonen), and often end up falling in love with and marrying human men (in fact, female Kitsuné are considered to make devoted wives and doting mothers). The resulting children are usually not kitsuné themselves, but have magical powers. Modern fiction tends to use these prominently; anime as a familiar staple whenever mythology is in the picture, while Western writers often note the similarity between them and The Fair Folk and use them for similar purposes. Either way, they're likely to be seen a lot in human form, but with fox ears, tail(s) and other foxy traits, for some reason. Alternately, they'll spend most or all time in fox form, though their shapeshifting usually gets at least a nod. Additional fun fact: Kitsuné are common Animal Motifs for Japanese character types. In fact, in Japan women are considered to be "Tanuki-faced" (square/round) or "kitsuné-faced" (inverted triangle / heart-shaped), the latter being considered sexier, so to call a Japanese woman fox-faced is looked upon as paying them a very sultry compliment. China and Korea also have variations on the Kitsuné myth, which they call Hu Li Jing and Gumiho though of course they see them a little differently- for example, the Korean Gumiho are murderously evil and carnivorous.

- Kitsune(狐, IPA: [kitsɯne] (File:Speaker Icon.svg listen)) is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore and are akin to European faeries; in English, kitsune refers to them in this context. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. Foremost among these is the ability to assume human form. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others—as foxes in folklore often do—other stories portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives. Foxes and human beings lived close together in ancient Japan; this companionship gave rise to legends about the creatures. Kitsune have become closely associated with Inari, a Shinto kami or spirit, and serve as his messengers. This role has reinforced the fox's supernatural significance. The more tails a kitsune has—they may have as many as nine—the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. Because of their potential power and influence, some people make offerings to them as to a deity.

As yōkai they are infamous for being mischievous tricksters. Kitsune can perform fox magic, which includes such abilities as fire conjuring, size manipulation, and, most notably, shape-shifting, which allows them to take on the appearance of anyone or anything they choose by placing a leaf on their heads. However, they are often given away by their tail, which they have difficulty in hiding. Strangely, Shippō, despite being a kitsune, has a distinctly human-like appearance.
