The tanuki, commonly referred to as a "raccoon dog" in English, has been beloved by the Japanese for centuries and is common throughout the islands. A good natured prankster, he often shows up in folk tales as a begging monk and is commonly pictured resting cups and other items on his most characteristic feature: a pair of outlandishly large and magical testicles that can transform into any tool or disguise needed.
