Kitsune: Difference between revisions

== Anime &and Manga ==

* ''[[Naruto]]'' is the [[Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can|living can]] in which the [[Sealed Evil in a Can|evil ninetailednine-tailed kitsunékitsune]] is sealed. The ninetailsnine-tails [[Our Monsters Are Different|isn't]] a traditional kitsunékitsune; it's essentially a sapient physical mass of malice, hatred, and evil chakra ({{spoiler|and is the largest and most powerful of nine fragments of the Ten-Tailed Daemon's chakra}}) that has taken the form of a ([[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|gigantic]]) nine-tailed kitsunékitsune.

* In ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', Kuruama is a kitsunékitsune who was gravely injured, and inhabited his spirit into a female human's womb, where she would eventually give birth to him in Human form while he recovered. Possibly Koto (seems fox-like but meows occasionally in the manga; could just be that the translators didn't know either).

* In ''[[Hell Teacher Nube]]'' -, Nube gained a rival who was a kitsunékitsune in human guise ( {{spoiler|though [[Character Development]] turned him into [[The Lancer]]}}); later, Nube went to confront the ninetails kitsunékitsune.

* ''[[Inuyasha]]'' has Shippou, an orphaned child who tags along with Inuyasha and Kagome (who herself was momentarily accused of being one at the beginning of the story). As a child, the group don't entirely take Shippou's abilities seriously, although they do take his heart and will to help seriously. Much later in the story, a small arc focuses entirely on the group's stay at an inn that turns out to be a testing ground for a group of youthful Kitsunékitsune who are going through examinations (in field testing, as it were). Due to the accidental encounter with the testing grounds, Shippou is forced to sit the exams as well. Despite having made no preparation (and not even known his kind had to take exams on a regular basis) and being one of the youngest examinees, Shippou quickly proves to everyone that when he's compared to his own kind, his abilities are leagues ahead of a child his age, and even far in advance of most of the older students as well.

* Sakura the ''kyuubi'' in ''[[Hyper Police]]''—who — who has eight-and-one-fifth tails.

* Kuugen Tenkou and Gyokuyou from ''[[WagayaOur noHome's Oinari-samaFox Deity.]]'' are siblings.

* In ''[[Kanokon]]'', Chizuru Minamoto is a 400-year-old kitsunékitsune who tries to seduce the protagonist.

** Her {{spoiler|adoptive}} mother is stated to be ''the'' Kitsunékitsune of ancient Japanese folklore, nine tails and all.

* Kudakitsuné, the pipe fox from ''[[xxxHolic]]'' in her transformed shape. Watanuki also runs into a kitsunékitsune family who runs a noodle stand in the spirit world.

* Akari from ''[[Aria]]'' encounters a kitsunékitsune wedding procession in a recreation of the Fushimi Inari Shrine on Mars.

* Youko in ''[[Tactics]]'' is a kitsunékitsune whom the protagonist has bound to his service. She doesn't seem too upset about this.

* In ''[[Love Hina]]'', while she's not a true kitsunékitsune, Mitsune Konno is called Kitsuné partly as a pun on her name, partly because she looks sort of like a fox, and mostly because she's a gossip and trickster who loves being a tease to Keitaro.

* ''[[Natsume Yuujinchou]]'' features a small kitsunékitsune child who follows Natume home from his class trip.

* ''[[Kekkaishi]]'' features an ailing kitsunékitsune as the leader of the Kokuboro that serve as the antagonists for much of the anime adaptation.

* ''[[Nurarihyon no Mago]]''{{'}}s current{{when}} [[Big Bad]] is Haguromo Gitsune, a nine-tailed fox, who is about to give birth to a monster (I doubt they'd try [[SCP Foundation|procedure 110-Montauk]] on her, as she has a thing for human livers). She wasn't always quite so evil, since she was willing to {{spoiler|''reabsorb and rebirth her grown son so he'd be immortal''... and then she was killed and her son (Abe no Seimei below) vowed revenge.}}

* The heroines of [[Otome Youkai Zakuro]] are artificially-created half-kitsunékitsune hybrids created from female fetuses being magically mutated with the blood of natural kitsunékitsune.
