''Wagaya no Oinari-sama.'',<!-- The period is part of the title. --> which translates to '''''Our Home's Fox Deity.''''', is a [[Light Novel]] series by Jin Shibamura, with illustrations by Eizō Hōden. It was given the anime treatment by Zexces, which ran for 24 episodes in the Spring of 2008.
The titular character, Kuugen, is a ''Tenko'' - a [[Fantastic Foxes|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 youkai is targeting the younger of her two sons to gain the power he inherited. This is the state of affairs when the series begins.

* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: One of the post-episode trailers during the Byakki storyline showed Shiro-chan and Kuugen transforming into gigantic, [[Kaiju]]-esque forms and facing off against each other. [[Never Trust a Trailer|This doesn't happen, however]].▼

▲* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: One of the post-episode trailers during the Byakki storyline showed Shiro-chan and Kuugen transforming into gigantic, [[Kaiju]]-esque forms (with Kuugen having [[Kitsune|nine tails]]) and facing off against each other. [[Never Trust a Trailer|This doesn't happen, however]].
* [[Big Eater]]: Kuu, hands down. Do ''NOT'' take your eyes off your food when dining with her; it'll likely disappear in an instant!
* [[Catgirl]]: One of the local youkai shown in episode 19 is a catgirl... or, rather, a middle-aged cat-woman.
Line 25 ⟶ 28:
* [[Cuteness Proximity]]: Daigoro seems to have this effect on most people when they first meet him.
* [[Dancing Theme]]: "Shiawase no Kotodama", the second end, featuring the entire cast in a cute, [[Super-Deformed]] style (when the girls aren't providing [[fan service]]).
* [[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
* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: The relationship between the elements is a deciding factor in Kuu and Ko's battles, but a bit of magical [[Applied Phlebotinum]], the Sakasaen, can reverse the way the relationships work.
* [[Evil Albino]]: Byakki is a being who insatiably absorbs the life-force of every living being she touches (even by accident) who is completely white with red eyes. This is somewhat [[Heroic Albino|inverted]] however in that she's unwaveringly loyal to Toru after imprinting on him and even defends him from attack on several occasions.
Line 40 ⟶ 43:
* [[Imagine Spot]]: Misaki Sakura, Noboru's secret admirer, frequently launches into fantasy sequences either mistaking Kuu and Ko for his girlfriends, or about Noboru and herself.
* [[Immortal Immaturity]]: Kuugen, while having many smart moments considering his/her age, also has a few...not so smart. She can also act incredibly childish when she doesn't get her way with Noboru.
* [[Kitsune]]:
* [[Little Black Dress]]: Kuugen dons one when she (quite literally) crashes the Christmas party in episode 22. Even more impressive in that she doesn't get a scratch on it when going head to head with the Gold Wolf.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: More like "Macross ''syringe'' massacre", as Kuugen uses her abilities to launch a huge volley of syringes loaded with anti-lycanthrope vaccine at the other werewolves serving under the Gold Wolf in episode 22.
