Recently, thanks to the XBOX, we have been trying to find new things to watch on TV until all of our favorites start back so we decided that we would give Teen Wolf a try. Not the
older Teen Wolf with Michael J. Fox, the newer version by
MTV. I had no idea what I was getting into when we started it, there is more than a lot going on but once you catch on, you get hooked. We actually ended up watching 4 full seasons quickly so now we have to wait for the new season to come out.
There are several different supernatural forces at play including
werewolves,
screaming banshees,
shapeshifters,
berserkers,
nogitsune, and
kitsunes. What? For some reason, I became very interested in all of these but especially the kitsunes.

The word Kitsune
キツネin Japanese indicates the sound a fox makes when it yelps even though usually
when the word kitsune is used it refers to a fox. There are many stories in the Japanese culture that pertain to foxes. A kitsune is magical being that possesses abilities that increase in time. These kitsunes can assume human form. Kitsunes are highly intelligent and mischievous. They have long lives usually around 900 years. There are 13 types of kitsunes. A kitsune can also have many tails, as many as nine in some cases but having all of these tails can also prove problematic at times (when they take a human form for example, it is hard to hide all of those tails). Kitsunes hate dogs and are very fearful of dogs. Kitsunes have the power of kitsunetsuki which is the ability to generate lightening from their tails or breath fire, fly, bend time, they can create illusions, and manifest in dreams. They also have the ability to drive humans crazy. I think it is clear why the kitsune is so fascinating but I just scratched the surface here. I added links for more reading.
