Kitsune is a cute and honest, pudgy little fox with an acorn around his neck and amorous thoughts on his mind. Kitsune has developed a major crush on Shinobu after she saved him from getting beat up by a gang of punk dogs. Forever indebted and in love with her, Kitsune comes to see Shinobu all of the time. Often he brings some magical forest items and takes everyone on fantastic adventures. Shinobu loves to play with him but she never realizes how he feels about her. Like foxes of mythology Kitsune can polymorph. His transformation power allows him to make himself look like a fox version of the other UY characters. He's set apart from the rest of the cast in the fact that he's the only character in all of Urusei Yatsura who isn't obnoxious or dangerous. Well, maybe a little.
