Kitsune is the Japanese word for Fox.
In Japanese folklore they say the older and wiser a Kitsune is, the more tails it will get and the more powerful it will become. One day this Kitsune hopes to achieve nine tails, just like his grand-father. Recently his fifth tail appeared, so he is already more than half way through.
