Tanuki : Latest News, Information, Answers and Websites
Why did TANUKI lost it`s shapeshifitng power and remained as a Teapot forever?
Bunbuku Chagama is a Japanese folk tale about a raccoon-dog, or Tanuki, that uses its shapeshifting powers to reward its rescuer for his kindness.
Bunbuku Chagama roughly translates to "happiness bubbling over like a tea pot." The story tells of a poor man who finds a Tanuki caught in a trap. Feeling sorry for the animal, he sets it free. That night, the Tanuki comes to the poor mans house to thank him for his kindness. The Tanuki transforms itself into a chagama and tells the man to sell him for money.
The man sells the Tanuki teapot to a monk, who brings it home and, after scrubbing it harshly, sets it over the fire to boil water. Unable to stand the heat, the Tanuki teapot sprouts legs and, in its half-transformed state, makes a run for it.
The Tanuki returns to the poor man with another idea. The man would set up a roadside attraction (a little circus-like setup) and charge admission for people to see a teapot walking a tightrope. The plan works, and each gains good from the other--the man is no longer poor and the Tanuki has a new friend and home.
In a variant of the story, the Tanuki teapot does not run and returns to its transformed state. The shocked monk decides to leave the teapot as an offering to the poor temple where he lives, choosing not to use it for making tea again. The temple eventually becomes famous for its supposed dancing teapot.
Answer: When happiness and joy abound in the eternal now, of what use is shape shifting? Dancing it's dance everyone is happy, people should not think the happiness is in tea only, enlightenment is everywhere at once! You are very bright for those who have eyes to see. ~ : )

PETA Speaks Out Against Mario’s Raccoon Suits
Who says those things came off a real Tanuki, anyway? They came out of a yellow brick and they can fly. Now, if some kid were to decide to skin a raccoon and jump off the roof of his house with it, I may reconsider my skepticism in this case.
what is the difference between Raccoon dog, Raccoon, and TANUKI?
This is supposed to be Tanuki. But what does it say ? hehehe.
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%BF%E3%83%8C%E3%82%AD
Answer: It seems like Tanuki is the Japanese name for raccoon dog, so they are the same thing, and a raccoon is a bit different
here's that site you have in English

as fro the difference between a raccoon, and a raccoon dog, they look a pretty similar, but not exactly the same

Where can I go to see wild TANUKI in Japan?
the native japanese raccoon is the Tanuki.. i see lots of pics but where do i find them!!
Answer: Tanuki are furtive and nocturnal-I have come across kamoshika and plenty of monkeys while hiking in Japan, but never a Tanuki. It's not as if they are rare, they are out there but you just don't see them. If you really want to see one the best approach would likely be to set up a "stake-out" overnight near a garbage can or wherever else humans would be likely to leave something edible they could grab. I imagine they are crazy about salt just like raccoons so they are likely to seek out chip bags and the like . My guess is Chichubu would be crawling with them.

Can I get a TANUKI in the USA, if possible, and is it legal?
I am looking to purchase a Tanuki, is it possible to obtain one in the USA, preferably the New England region. If yes, how much is the average price, and is it legal to get one in PA (considering PAs ridiculous exotic pet laws).
Also, if you dont know what a Tanuki is, dont answer. Also, dont answer a part of the question that you dont know, I dont mean to be rude, but Ive gotten a lot of vague answers for that very reason on my previous questions.
Answer: I am pretty certain Tanukis aren't available in the US as pets. The only way this may happen is if they are smuggled in as labeled 'normal dogs' and bred in the US. But even that would be illegal.
Apparently they adapt well as pets. However being a wild animal (even if born in captivity) they will not have the traits of a domestic dog (which are bred for living with humans). People can keep them as pets in Asia and Europe.
They rarely hibernate in captivity although their appetite will decrease in winter and they will be more lethargic.

Can anyone tell me about Inari Kitsune or TANUKI or Neko? Are they all shapeshifters?
I read a little about Inari foxes on Wiki but Im wondering if you have anything else to tell me. Was there any special kitsune? Do all neko shapeshift or just the very old ones? Can racoons shapeshift?
Answer: I'm pagan, and one of my primary dieties is (are?) kitsune. Most that are devoted to them simply refer to them as kitsune, which I believe simply means "fox".
Kitsune are servants of the rice-god Inari, and are typically mild-mannered or unthreatening, due to whom they're serving. Their counterparts, called nogitsune, are the "wild" foxes, sort of free agents, and cause mischief and mayhem, sometimes harmless pranks and sometimes much more serious. If you've ever heard the term foxfire (or, more likely, the internet browser firefox), in japanese it is called kitsune-bi, a globe of white or blue light under the control of a nogitsune, often used to lure travellers to their doom on dark nights. Some say if you can catch a nogitsune's kitsune-bi, it will grant you a wish to get it back.
Kitsune can shapeshift into anything they wish, but most tales have them turning into incredibly attractive men and women (who usually go on to seduce someone) that sometimes have their true nature revealed accidently by way of a shadow or reflection that shows a fox body, or a tail or tails sticking out of their clothing. Kitsune have also been known to be succubi or incubi (female or male form, respectively) - sensual vampires known for stealing life-force through sex with their victims.
The number of tails a kitsune has denotes its age, from one up to nine, which, depending on what account you're reading, means they are 1,000 years old or immortal. When a kitsune has nine tails, the fur is usually white, too.
As far as noteworthy kitsunes go, check out Neil Gaiman's Sandman series for a more recent mention, or do a google search on the name tamano-no-mae.

Likelihood of Seeing TANUKI?
Though theyre probably more like vermin in Japan, I have a weird desire to see a real Tanuki in the flesh. Given that were going to Tokyo, Nikko, Kyoto and Nara in November, I was wondering what the chances of us happening across Tanuki would be and where we could go to improve them.
Thanks!
Tanuki meaning the racoon dog, since theres an apparent need for clarification.
Answer: Tanuki itself are living in Japan extensively. An ecologist estimated that about a thousand Tanuki are living in Tokyo.
Here is a website of NHK (Japan's public broadcaster) that reported Tokyo’s urban Tanuki. Sorry in Japanese.

But they are nocturnal animal. It is hard to see them in everyday life.
In my experience, I've met monkeys and wild boars in suburb of Osaka or Kobe. But I've never met Tanuki.
However, there are some reports that Tanuki visit at local houses in suburb of Osaka.

What is the diffrence between a TANUKI and a raccoon?
So far the only difference between Tanuki and raccoon that i know of is that Tanukis are from Japan and raccoons from America. Is there a bigger diffrence then that?
Answer: 'Tanuki' is the Japanese word for the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides). This is a member of the dog family, Canidae, which is found in Eurasia. It is a completely different animal to the raccoon (Procyon lotor) of North America, which is a member of the family Procyonidae. It resembles the raccoon in shape and colour, hence its name, but the two are not related beyond both belonging to the order Carnivora. Here are some images:
