  The "Nine-Tails" are the descendants of the great White-Faced One. They have the ability to 
  transform into foxes and have inherited their ancestor's great talent for magic as well as her 
  beauty. The Eastern shapeshifters largely escaped the War of Rage that other shapeshifters 
  suffered, due to their distance from the Garou; Japan has never had as large a Garou 
  population as in other parts of the world. The Kitsune are skeptical of the Apocalypse that the 
  Garou fear is imminent. They owe no allegiance to Gaia. Instead, they follow the ways of the 
  ancient Wyrm of Balance, ways that were established before the Wyrm was corrupted into the 
  Pattern Web. The spread of the Weaver is not at all uniform in Japan; her influence lies 
  heavily upon such great cities as Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Hiroshima, but many natural sites 
  are still revered, and in some cities there is a balance of nature and humanity. The Corrupter 
  Wyrm is no more than Occidental superstition to the Nine-Tails, but they know the scent of 
  evil, and some believe that the Western Garou brought it to Japan with them. They have 
  learned of the recent influx of Western Garou into Japan, and they are not pleased.  
  Society 
  The Kitsune believe, as do many Eastern supernatural beings, that an object or animal that 
  outlives its species' usual lifespan begins to gain self-awareness. Most Eastern supernatural 
  creatures, they reason, are created this way, and eventually develop into powerful entities. 
  Such beings form a network spanning the whole of Japan. Each entity recognizes and respects 
  the existence of the others, but otherwise does as he pleases. Nine-Tails are among most 
  human-like of these beings, but they are still a part of this order of supernatural beings. They 
  can converse as equals with 400-year-old spirits residing in trees and rocks. 
  Nine-Tails do not generally form tight bonds with their own kind. However, they maintain 
  strong alliances with the other magical beings of the islands and are an integral part of the 
  larger hierarchy of Japanese supernatural culture. They are considered to be one of the most 
  noble and powerful races ever to exist.
