What makes a kitsune name?

Kitsune are Japanese fox spirits, so their names are rooted in Japanese — an elegant given name paired with a nature- or fox-touched surname (Inari for the fox deity, Tsukino for 'of the moon', Akagi). They evoke moonlight, autumn leaves, and quiet mischief. The vibe is graceful and a little sly, befitting a shapeshifter who walks between worlds.

How to use it

Pick a Gender and hit Generate for kitsune names that pair a Japanese given name with an atmospheric surname. Save the ones that feel magical, and copy your favorite. A kitsune's number of tails marks its age and power — pair the name with a tail-count or a shrine (Nine-Tailed, of the Inari Shrine) for extra flavor.
