Senshi

Senshi no Kitsune (戦士のキツネ,The Warrior Fox), otherwise known as Gobi Senshi (五尾戦士の, Five-Tails Senshi) is of the Yako (野狐, "Field Fox"). He is a warrior kitsune who is undergoing a spiritual reclamation in order to be recognized among his kin. He participates in the Underground Tournament in hopes of being pitted against Mun Okami, a powerful Kaiju-Ningen. He develops an antagonist relationship with Chireru Amakuni.

Appearance
Senshi carries a humanoid appearance not unlike that of a Kemono Heishi (though his kitsune trickster pride often leads others to believe that he is in fact one). He has yellow hair, golden eyes and elf-like ears. He is often seen wearing his unique black uniform.

Personality
He carries a pride of both a warrior and a skilled trickster. Like others of his race he has a do-it-himself mentality and stubbornness, as shown when declining to train under Mun Okami. During their first meeting, Chireru made hypocritical statements over his refusal to train with Okami, thus earning a vow of vengeance for wronging his pride and honor.

Synopsis

 * Underground Tournament Arc

Powers and Capablities
High spiritual pressure: While in his humanoid and "True" kitsune self, his spiritual pressure is comparable to seated officers below fourth seat. Shape-shifting: While not capable of transforming into anything complex, Senshi is skilled enough to take the forms of anything of a similar build to his human disguise. Kitsunebi (狐火, "Fox-Fire"): Senshi has innate talent in the use of Kitsunebi and has an affinity for the fire element. Senshi uses this skill for trickery as much as practical combat. His Kitsunebi was heavily influenced by his spiritual pressure.

Kitsunetsuki (狐憑き, "the state of being possessed by a fox"): While not entirely skillful in its use, Senshi has shown enough proficiency that he is able to turn Chireru's Shingan ability back to its wielder.

Kitsune Forms
Kitsune Base form: Senshi's true kitsune self. Sanbi form (三尾, Three Tails form): The abilities of this form have yet to be revealed. Gobi Spirit Cloak (Five Tail Spirit Cloak): The abilities of this form have yet to be revealed, though it is known that the spirit cloak is comprised of his five tails.

Trivia
