Ever since my newest obsession, Sonic the hedgehog, I've been facinated by kitsunes. His little fox friend I suspect is a kitsune. The Japanese have their own version of the western werewolf called kitsunetsuki. Although it is simalair, it is diffrent than Clinical lycanthropy. Symptoms include cravings for rice or sweet red beans, listlessness, restlessness, and aversion to eye contact. I could have sworn I saw Tails listed in one of the umteen threads about cartoon characters thay may have AS. He just screams aspie to me. Anyway, don't take this thread seriously. It's meant as a joke but than compared to some of the autism theories out there it makes some sence. Darn! I was convinced I was a meerkat, but aparently I am a kitsune.


Kitsune if I remember are shape-shifters and people with AS or like me at least have some mental differences often have to pretend to be like everyone else.

And welcome to the obsession! Though sadly in my case it's waning a bit. Now I spend more time on birds and mental health.

What happened was that Tails the Fox was going to be his original name, but the programmer of the game (I forget his name) wanted it to be Miles Prower (a joke on "miles per hour") and so he put the name "Miles" in the game Sonic 2, especially in the casino level and it was too late to change it, so now he's Mlles "Tails" Prower.

In a fanfiction I wrote in the past, one of the main characters was a female anthro fox who was born a kitsune and all her tails but one were cut off when she was born and she was determined to get back at the world.


I'd like to read that fan fic. I'm working on one that combines my Sonic obsession and my hallow earth theory obsession.

Who's Reynard?

Legendary / literary fox trickster dude. European. Closer likeness to kitsune. Werewolves are a blunter instrument. :)

Wiki link unfortunately I can't find any especially accessible English form of the story, which is a shame.
It's where Tybalt ("Prince of Cats") gets his name from in Romeo and Juliet and it gets referenced all over; there've been various modern treatments of it but it's better known on the Continent than in GB or the wider English-speaking world.

He was so popular in middle age that "renard" had taken the place of "goupil" for designating a fox in french.
