Animal Facts

Have you ever wondered what happens to a shooting star? Does it just disappear? Or does it land on our planet earth? Well, most shooting stars dissolve before ever reaching land. But some very special shooting stars fall on Japans rich earth and become so much more. They become a Hoshi No Kitsune.

What is a Hoshi No Kitsune? When the shooting star has landed, it transforms into a little fox. The young cub is born with a small orb that holds their most precious belonging - their soul. The Hoshi No Kitsune is very careful to hold onto this orb; if it is ever taken away or lost, the creature loses most of it's powers and weakens ever slowly until it dies. If the ball is destroyed, the Hoshi No Kitsune dies immediately. If the fox reaches adulthood, it becomes a great and beautiful Kitsune.

Hoshi No Kitsune are rather solitary and prefer to live on their own. Due to there being no need for a mate, they do not go out for breeding seasons. Human contact is rare, but does happen occasionally. When a human befriends a Kitsune, it becomes very loyal. Eventually it grants all of the humans wishes, desiring only to please the human. A great bond is formed between man and creature, one rarely seen between other species.
