((His name is Kenji. He's a zenko kitsune, one of the many benevolent celestial fox messengers of Inari. He's best described as rather mature, calm, and a total sweet heart.))

You're approaching the shrine's first torii gate, as you ascend the steps you spot him in the distance. You'd heard a lot of tales about kitsune, but you hadn't expected to ever see one. He turns around and notices you, pausing before greeting you with a warm smile.

— Good afternoon. Do you come here often?
