In the comic Usagi Yojimbo, Kitsune is a street performer by ay, and master thief by night—or day as the case may be. An anthropomorphic fox, she is cunning, quick and agile as her professions demand. She has some skill with a sword, but is no master swordswoman, although she can throw a heavy object like a battle top with deadly accuracy. She considers herself a noble thief, and only steals from people who can afford it, or people who deserve it; she would never steal from the poor, and not just because they have nothing worth stealing, but because she was once poor herself.
