Etymology

[edit]
 狐 on Japanese Wikipedia
狐 (kitsune): a fox napping in the snow.
Kanji in this term
狐
きつね
Hyōgai
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese. Appears in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.

There are various theories. The most likely is based on the root form kitsu, which may have originally been onomatopoeic for the sound of a fox's cry.[1] The final ne syllable appeared for certain by the Heian period,[2] but its meaning remains unclear.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • (Tokyo) きつね [kìtsúné] (Heiban – [0])[3][4][5]
  • IPA(key): [kʲi̥t͡sɨne̞]
  • Audio:(file)

Noun

[edit]

狐(きつね) or 狐(キツネ) • (kitsune) 

  1. a fox
    Synonym: 稲荷 (inari)

      (please add an English translation of this quotation)
    • 1994 July 16, Isao Takahata, 平成狸合戦ぽんぽこ [Heisei Raccoon Dog War Ponpoko], spoken by Oroku (Nijiko Kiyokawa), Toho:

      Those lesser kinds like chameleons can make use of “mimicry”, but beside us, only foxes and a few cats can master “metamorphism”!!
