Please, do a little homework before throwing dumb theories to the wind. Actually the word Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox..but they are werefox's.

-They are said to be intelligent and  possess  magical abilities which increase with their age and wisdom.

 -Like werewolfs they can assume a human and wolf form.

-From what've read they can be bad or good as they can "trick others" or be "faithful guardians."

  -Kitsune's are closely associated with Inari a Shinto kami or spirit and serve as its messengers.

 - The more tails a kitsune has  means the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. Because of their potential power and influence,  people make offerings to them as to a deity.
