Kitsune

Kitsune are mythical foxes from Japanese folklore, often regarded as magical beings with intelligence and mystical powers. They are known for their ability to shapeshift into human forms, particularly that of beautiful women. In Japanese culture, kitsune can be protectors, serving the deity Inari, or they can be tricksters, embodying cunning and mischief. Their number of tails also signifies their age and power; a nine-tailed fox is considered the most powerful. Kitsune symbolize both wisdom and the dual nature of good and evil in human behavior, making them complex figures in mythology and popular culture.
