Isagitsune (イサギツネ 17) is an Ayakashi master of the black arts with knowledge of 100 spells, armed with the Teni Yōsenken (天為葉扇剣 Natural Leaf-Fan Sword).
History[]
Using his Fox Concealment Spell (狐隠れの術 Kitsune Gakure no Jutsu), he steals a hair from Takeru to conduct his Mirror Reflection Spell (鏡映しの術 Kagami Utsushi no Jutsu) to spy on Takeru to look for the sealing character until his cover is blown. His other spells include Fox Whirling Spell (狐つむじの術 Kitsune Tsumuji no Jutsu), a spell where he summons a whirlwind around himself to blow away his enemies; Foxfire Spell (狐火の術 Kitsunebi no Jutsu), where he summons small blue flames to chase and burn his enemies; Fox Throwing Stones (狐つぶて Kitsune Tsubute), where his eyes glow and he fires eye blasts to try and slow his enemies; Fox Technique Reversal (狐技返し Kitsune Waza Gaeshi), where he summons a big black portal top absorb an incoming attack and then another behind the enemies to have it hit them instead; Copycat Fox (真似狐 Mane Gitsune); and Eight Spanning Crows Spell (八咫烏の術 Yatagarasu no Jutsu), where he summons crows from his shoulder blades to strike down his enemies.
His most powerful technique is the Copycat Fox attack where he swings his sword, duplicating the sending back the attack he reflected at his enemies. When he did this after reflecting their Five-Colored Dance, it took all five down with a single hit and demorphed them.
He is destroyed by the newly-revealed Shinken Gold's Hundred Fillets after Takeru destroyed the crows with a wave of fire, and then destroyed by Tenkuu ShinkenOh's Tenkuu Bamboo Slice with help from the Ika Origami.
He is later revealed to have been the next Ayakashi Hyakuyappa's friend. Hyakuyappa tries to kill the Shinkengers in revenge for his fallen comrade, but fails.
Yokai Origin[]
According to folklore, tengu (天狗 ) are spirits that typically assume bird-like forms. Isagitsune's mysterious techniques and pointed nose may have been the origin of this legend. Parts of his body also incorporates the Kitsune which is a fox yokai.
