Kikutsune

Kikutsune (キクツネ, Kikutsune) is one of the Six Shinshou members whose face was revealed preceded by Harunawa and the second to do so. He is the Shou of Kisaru.

Appearance
Kikutsune has tanned skin and light blonde hair. His hair sticks up in two points giving him a fox like appearance; his hair reaches slightly below his waist. His eyes are a shade of olive green. His face was covered by a mask, like the other members of the Six Shou, but he removes it in Chapter 125. After removing the mask and ceremonial cloak, he dons a light colored red top that is open in the back and black pants that are similar to leggings. He wears a long scarf wrapped around his waist. His top has beads embedded that loop around his torso. He wears armor in various spots around his body.

Kikutsune can transform into an enormous fox monster, his size alone is commendable.

Personality
Kikutsune is one of the more boisterous members of the Six Shou. Kikutsune is impulsive and hates to stay still. Kikutsune is shown as having a childish demeanor, which quickly shatters whenever he is angered to reveal a haughty cruel, young man. It is unknown exactly how old Kikutsune is but some of his mannerisms lead the reader to determine that he may be one of the younger members of the Six Shou. The other members of the Six Shou seem weary of his impulsive nature to cause trouble just to make things get "interesting" as he puts it.

History
Kikutsune used to be a harp-player in ancient Roman times.

He appear later along with the other Six Shou discussing with Shim about Kadowaki lack of skills. Meanwhile for the four of them,he first state that overtime he grows bored with the slow progression and chooses to enter the contest for emperor to ease his boredom. The Six Shou seem annoyed with this action ; but nevertheless they agree with Kikutsune and decide to join the submission contest as well. Inra also agree to join Kikutsune's goal. As his introduction to Kadowaki and Arata, he tries to blast them in his airship. Both boys are able to block this attack to his amusement. He discussed with Inra about what his next plain will be.

While Okima is contacting Yataka to bring his airship to Haniyasu,Kikutsune get in their way blasting their airship and they were forced to halt.

He reappears when Hiruha tries stealing Hinohara's Hayagami, Tsukoyo. Kikutsune injured Rami, who deflected his attack from striking Mikusa. Kikutsune is the reason for Hiruha's betrayal by feeding him lies of how to save his deceased friends and family's souls. By doing this,he controlled Hiruha's mind with his whistle ability if he disobey hesitating. He then revealed to Arata's group that they are true culprit of Sata's berserk. Much to their horror,Hiruha furiously went after Kikutsune to attack after seeing Rami is horribly injured,but Kikutsune pulled out his Hayagami and lashed him coldly saying he can join his comrades and this Hiruha died. He was utterly disgusted when Arata successfully pulled out Tsukuyo from the bowl realizing this time was also a failure. He next shortly think of a plan to kill Arata and use the souls to distort space,however it was interrupted and his airship was blasted by Okima and Aoi. Kikutsune was filled with fury and released Kisaru's Kamui at Yataka's airship. Kisaru's Kamui destroy Yataka's airship and killed everyone in it except two Zokushou who submitted to Yataka. He disappeared afterward.

He later joined the Six Shou meeting having a interlocution for Kikutsune's foolish actions. He complained to Shim he has given up relying on Kadowaki's submission battle. Shim then calmly reminded him about their ambitions of returning to their original world. Kikutsune and other four members have their serious look listening to Shim's full instructions.

 * Shim: Both men bump heads with issues concerning Arata Hinohara. Shim keeps an eye on the development with Arata and Kadowaki; while Kikutsune hates the slow buildup of action. He does quiet down whenever Shim commands him to do such.
 * Inra: One of the other members of the six shou. Kikutsune considers Inra a close ally and even mentions if Inra doesn't work with him on awakening Orochi he would be troubled. Inra has an accessory over his mouth that prevents him from responding to Kikutsune. It is unsure on what Inra thinks of Kikutsune.
