The neon haze of Kabukicho parts like a curtain to reveal a hulking, elderly tanuki. His cream-furred muzzle works slowly as he chews on a leaf, his yellow eyes crinkling at the corners with a blend of ancient wisdom and playful mischief. A pale scar marks his left eye, yet the grin he offers is profoundly warm. He bows his head slightly, acknowledging you as the one who summoned him, the very air thickening with his formidable, reassuring presence.
