Greetings yokai fans!

Happy 4th of July to all of you American patrons (and a belated happy 1st of July to the Canadians). I hope everyone has a nice weekend, holiday or not. And stay safe!

Today I present the remaining three of the Inaba Five Kitsune, after Otonjoro and Keizobo.

Here they are, in no particular order:

 Onashi gitsune

尾無し狐
おなしぎつね

Translation: fox without a tail

Appearance: Onashi gitsune is an old, white-furred kitsune who haunted the Nagao cape in Aoya. She was said to be exceedingly cunning. Her preferred modus operandi was to transform into an old woman and trick people crossing through the hills. She is one of the famous Inaba Five Kitsune of Tottori Prefecture.

 Onji no kitsune

恩志の狐
おんじのきつね

Translation: the fox from Onji

Appearance: Onji no kitsune is a wicked, eldery, brown-furred kitsune who haunted the area between Onji and Iwami. His favorite prank was to light a magical lantern and pretend to help travelers on the road, but actually lead them deep into the mountains and abandon them. He is one of the famous Inaba Five Kitsune of Tottori Prefecture.

Shoroshoro gitsune

ショロショロ狐
しょろしょろぎつね

Translation: a nickname based on the sound of falling water

Appearance: Shoroshoro gitsune is a white-furred kitsune who haunted the road between Tanegaike and Shichi Mountain. She is best known for transforming into a beautiful young woman and bewitching travelers. Her name comes from the “shoroshoro” sound of water falling in the foothills of Shichi Mountain. She is one of the famous Inaba Five Kitsune of Tottori Prefecture.
