It should be noted that despite being a nocturnal species, Kitsun are not Dark-element Pals and, therefore, sleep during the night.
The English name is from “kitsune” (fox) with the “e” removed, highlighting the “blue sun” theme. The codename “AmaterasuWolf” highlights this theme further, as Amaterasu is the Shinto sun goddess, portrayed as a wolf in the game “Ōkami.” This connection is due to the homophones for wolf (狼, Ōkami) and great god (大神, Ōkami).
The Japanese name シラヌイ (Shiranui) means “unknown fire” or “phantom fire” and refers to ghostly flames often seen near Kyūshū’s coasts, typically depicted as blue or purple in folklore.
