Kira was of Japanese descent which enabled her to be a kitsune. I don't believe that that the origin of ones ancestory plays that much of a part of it ... i.e. if Parishes grandfather was bitten by an Alpha werewolf, and the bite reflects the spirit/person/animal that you are, then it can be assumed that an all white american could be turned into a Kitsune, regardless if they have any form of ancestory from Japan :)

1) A mutation of the werewolf gene in a person with unresolved past issues makes a kanima.

2) Kitsunes do not have the werewolf gene, they are Kitsune. Totally different animal.

3) Kitsunes cannot bite & create another Kitsune. They are born as one, from what we've seen.

4) Scott bit the Nogitsune (which is part of Kitsune lore) and proved that one cannot be both a werewolf and a fox. In other words once you're something you can't become something else.

5) The type of person you are can determine how your werewolf form looks; Peter was enraged beast so look at his S1 Alpha form, Deucalion was a monster that killed and took beta sparks like a demon collects souls and his look reflected that.

6) Kate's transformation may have been linked to the "form you take reflects the person you are" thing but wasn't fully explained other than that one remark from Scott. Personally, I'd bet her being near werejaguar territory where they worshipped a God had a part in it but that isn't canon so believe what you will.
