Our Home's Fox Deity.

The original Japanese title of this 24-episode anime series (based on a light novel series by Jin Shibamura) is Wagaya no Oinari-sama. The titular character, Kuugen, is a Tenko - a fox that went past the nine tails of a kitsune and has gone full-circle back to one tail. Kuugen has been alive for so long that it has forgotten whether it was born male or female, and is so powerful that it can defy many kami. Kuugen is also so mischievous that it was sealed away to protect mankind. Eventually, one young priestess - Miyako - kept Kuugen company, and the two developed a close friendship. Then Miyako went away to college, and died ... and now a yokai is targeting the younger of her two sons to gain the power he inherited. This is the state of affairs when the series begins.

Kuugen is set free to deal with the first of the yokai that are threatening Toru, and he and his brother Noboru decide that Kuugen needs a new job - family deity. "Kuu-chan" is certainly powerful enough for the role. Out of respect for Miyako, Kuugen returns with the brothers to their home. The clan's guardian, Ko, accompanies them to keep an eye on Kuugen. Since neither Kuu no Ko are familiar with modern life, Hilarity Ensues. But danger ensues as well - other yokai also want Toru's power.

The series is divided into four major arcs, with single-story episodes between the arcs.
 * The first arc has Kuu and Ko learning how to live in both the mundane and supernatural worlds of modern Japan, and Kuugen coming to terms with Miyako's death.
 * The second arc shows the interaction between Kuugen and the presiding kami of the land where Noboru's high school is located. Mubyo has lost something important and asks for Kuugen's help, but Kuugen does not like kami.
 * The third arc introduces Kuugen's sibling Gyokuyou (who has trouble accepting Kuugen's willingness to work for the clan that sealed it away), and the local oni (who have lost something very precious to them). This arc explains why Kuugen dislikes kami, and shows that even kami cannot act exactly as they please.
 * The fourth arc shows how Kuugen hunts werewolves.


 * Dojikko: Ko drops so many plates, they stop keeping count. She also destroyed a pot by scrubbing it too hard, and broke a window when trying to scare away a housecat.
 * Fantastic Foxes: Kuugen and Gyokuyou, as discussed above.
