Kitsune are trickster foxes from traditional Japanese folklore. They are a type of supernatural creature with godlike powers, often equated to the English ghoul or demon. Kitsune are noted for their paranormal abilities, particularly metamorphosis, either taking on human form or possessing a human and feeding off its life force. Although in earlier folklore they could be positive figures such as guardian spirits, beginning in the Edo period, kitsune were more often depicted as mischievous tricksters. The most common type of kitsune in Edo literature are nogitsune, which use their abilities to make humans seem foolish or to get revenge, frequently possessing women to seduce men whom they wish to trick. This possession by a fox spirit is called kitsune tsuki, and stories cite men marrying women who are possessed by mischievous kitsune.
