In Japanese folklore the fox is known as a Kitsune and are believed to possess superior intelligence, long life and magical powers. They are shapeshifters who can assume human forms when they reach the age of 100. Kitsunes have nine tails out of which only one is the main source of their power. There are two class types of kitsune: the zenko and the yako. Zenkos are benevolent and associated to the god Inari while the yako are mischievous or even malicious.
There are thirteen different types of kitsune with each one representing an element: heaven, void, wind, spirit, fire, earth, river, ocean, mountain, forest, thunder, time and sound.
