Kitsune-bito
Foxfolk that dwell in the plains and forests of Kamigawa, the kitsune are wise, quiet, skilled warriors and priests, the non-human race which most closely associate with the humans of Kamigawa. Skilled swordsmen, it is an honor to be selected as a pupil to a kitsune sensei to be trained as a samurai. They are depicted with long ears, pale nearly-featureless faces, and a foreboding countenance.
Their name comes from the Japanese folklore of the Kitsune, a nature spirit resembling a fox with the power to change into a human and other magical capabilities. (Sensei Golden-Tail, Kitsune Dawnblade)
