"九尾の狐" (Kyūbi no Kitsu) is a mythical creature from Japanese folklore, often depicted as a fox with nine tails. It is believed to possess magical powers and is associated with both good and evil. In various stories, the nine-tailed fox can shape-shift into a beautiful woman or other forms, often using its abilities to deceive or protect humans. The concept of the nine-tailed fox is not unique to Japan; it also appears in other cultures, such as 中国 (China) and 韓国 (Korea), where it is known as 九尾狐 (Jiǔwěihú) in Chinese. In these traditions, the creature is often linked to themes of wisdom, longevity, and the supernatural.
