Divine Messenger

manifests as a white fox and commands legions of kitsune servants who act as intermediaries between the divine and mortal realms

God/Goddess | Shinto

God/goddess of rice, agriculture, foxes, and prosperity; one of the most widely worshipped kami; shrine messengers are white foxes (kitsune); Fushimi Inari has 10,000 torii gates. Inari’s gender, identity, and even number (singular or plural) are ambiguous — variously male, female, or androgynous, and sometimes a collective of five kami.

Parallels: Demeter (Greek), Lakshmi (Hindu), Ceres (Roman); Dakini (Buddhist-Shinto fusion) See also: Kitsune, Hachiman
