Kitsune in Japanese are not nine-tailed Fox it self, its just a fox,
The expression Kitsune used in English-speaking countries contains many elements of the Shinto Inari-sama.(Because it is an indigenous belief, some places refer to it as Kami, while others refer to it as Kami's messenger.)
In Japan, Nine Tailed Fox is a concept that is believed to have come from China,It has been transmitted through stories and other means, and has developed in a mixture of unique Japanese culture and lore.
is referred to as a Youko(妖狐), Kyuubi-no-Kitsune(九尾の狐), or Tamamo(玉藻の前,玉藻御前)
Anyway, as far as we can trace the origin, the nine-tailed fox in the Chinese geography book “Shan Hai Jing” is the oldest. And we already have a Skin series based on that geography book,(Shan-Hai-Scrolls)
