The blog post for today will be about Kitsunes. Since Kitsunes appear often in anime, I decided to do a blog post about them. First of all, the word kitsune means fox in Japanese. However, the word can also refer to the fox Yokai. A good example of a Kitsune in anime is Kyubi from Yokai Watch. In the anime, Kyubi is seen transforming into a human boy. This is because Kitsunes have the ability to shape-shift into humans. They also have powers of illusion, and they are usually associated with fire. This can be seen with the Pokémon Ninetales, a fire-type fox Pokémon that is based off of Kitsunes. Kitsunes are often shown to have nine tails as well. However, nine is actually the limit of how many tails a Kitsune can have. Just like a normal fox, a Kitsune starts out with one tail. But, they get more tails with age and experience. There is much more to say about Kitsunes, but I don't want to make this post too long. These are the basics of Kitsunes as well. Nonetheless, I will be including a picture of Kyubi from Yokai Watch and Ninetales from Pokémon as examples of what Kitsunes look like below. Enjoy!
